Chapter 369 Christmas Present
Michael cleared his throat when he felt a cold aura beside him. If he's in a horror movie, there must be a ghost to his right, or a killer if he's in a Thriller.
However, Michael tried to act casual and not look nervous. He also decided not to look at his side, because if it was in a horror movie, he would have died like a character in a movie who foolishly approaches when they notice a ghost is there.
"What do you think?" asked Michael with a smile on his face as he looked at his kids, waiting for their answer.
Both of them seemed to think hard when they heard that, especially Raphael's forehead that seemed to be frowning.
He will also get his room alone.
But…
Mommy has to sleep with Daddy!
Isn't his daddy really bad? Daddy must be doing it on purpose!
But on the other hand, he was also slightly interested in getting his own room, and decorating it just like Olivia said.
"Okay!"
Amidst Raphael's turmoil, Gabriel suddenly made a sound while nodding his head.
Raphael then immediately turned to his younger brother, and looked at him with a look: are you really okay with that?
As if he had noticed his brother staring at him, Gabriel turned and nodded his head, understanding what Raphael meant.
"Rapa, you have to think!" Gabriel said while moving his hands. It seemed his brother was still confused, and didn't realize what he had just realized.
This was his chance to scold his older brother.
Raphael snorted when he saw what Gabriel was doing.
"If Mommy sleeps with Daddy! That means our little sister will be here soon! You forgot our little sister can be done if Mommy and Daddy sleep together?!" scolded Gabriel with a serious-sounding face.
Raphael opened his mouth when he heard that.
Oh right! How could he forget such an important thing?
"Okay! I agree!" Raphael replied, turning to his Daddy.
He certainly didn't like it, but for the sake of his little sister who could quickly come over, it seemed he had to make some sacrifices.
Michael smiled at that and looked at Gabriel who was sitting in front of him.
"Nice assist," Michael said to himself.
Meanwhile, Sarah was still silent and kept looking at Michael. That man better stop what he's doing, or… she's really going to beat him up later.
"Okay! You two have agreed!" Michael said with a big smile, looking at his kids one by one. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚w𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
"But…"
The expressions of the two kids changed when they heard what Michael said.
Why do their parents always say but? They don't like that word at all, because it's something distasteful!
"We'll do it later when you're six, okay?" Michael continued.
Michael realized that in order for him and Sarah to sleep in the same room, he had to propose to her first, and marry her, so Sarah wouldn't mind that anymore.
So, he purposely told his kids that they should wait for some more time.
Well… actually right now they could get their own rooms. After all, he had bought this apartment hoping to have two kids, just like Sarah had dreamed of, and the two rooms on the first floor were for their bedroom.
However, he knew that he had to remarry Sarah first, well… or at least he should have proposed.
"But…" Gabriel still objected to that.
"Daddy promise, Daddy will decorate your room according to what you want. Okay? Now let's continue the dinner first," said Michael firmly.
Gabriel finally didn't say anything and just nodded hearing that and continued to eat.
Meanwhile, Sarah's expression looked very confused at this time.
Michael obviously jumped at the chance so she could sleep together with him, but… Michael wanted to wait until the kids' birthdays?
Their birthdays were still four months away and she had told Michael that beforehand.
In that case… What exactly was Michael thinking?
Did he really want to give the twins a room each? Or did he just want to temporarily distract them so Gabriel wouldn't have thrown a tantrum?
Sarah is completely confused!

"What are you two doing?" asked Sarah who had just washed the dirty dishes for their dinner and saw her two kids already in front of the Christmas tree and closing their eyes.
Michael, who was busy with his cell phone, turned when he heard Sarah's voice.
"We're praying that this year we get a present!" Gabriel said, turning to his Mommy.
"Right! Tomorrow is Christmas Day. Santa will give us presents!" Raphael explained.
Sarah smiled at how innocent her kids were. Sometimes she thought that they had grown so mature, but after hearing this, she realized that they were still her little babies.
"Have Riel and Rapa been good boys this year?" asked Michael then stood up and joined his kids who were sitting in front of the Christmas tree.
Sarah also decided the same thing.
"Of course!" answered both at the same time.
"What did you ask Santa for?" Sarah asked curiously.
She had prepared presents for her kids, but if they were not the one they expected, it seemed that tonight she would have to go out and find them.
"That is a secret!" replied the two with a suspicious smile.
"Really? Daddy and Mommy will pray that you will get the presents you want, though" said Michael, assisting Sarah. Apparently, he understood what Sarah said.
He also had his presents ready too, but of course it would be better if they were to his kids's liking.
"Hmm… I don't want presents," Raphael replied, shaking his head.
"Then? What did Rapa ask for?" Sarah asked gently while stroking her son's cheek.
"I asked Santa that every Christmas, I could celebrate it with Riel, Mommy and also Daddy. This is the first time Daddy is with us to celebrate Christmas with us, and I'm happy. I want to continue like this, Mommy," Raphael replied with a smile on his face.
Michael and Sarah's facial expressions immediately changed hearing that. Sarah even unknowingly began to tear up, feeling guilty for her kids.
"Daddy will always be with you! You no need to worry about that," Michael replied and immediately hugged his eldest son.
"I want a present!" said Gabriel suddenly.
He was indeed a bit surprised because his older brother didn't want a present, but he wants a present!
Christmas is one of his favorite days because it's a day where he can eat delicious food, and get presents, apart from on his birthday.
If Rapa doesn't want a present, it's his own fault!
Michael and Sarah immediately chuckled when they heard that and immediately smiled again. His youngest son was absolutely adorable.
"Okay! What present do you want Riel?" he asked.
"I want Batman's car!" he answered with excited eyes!
