When Sarah was still not sure. She decided to see what Arthur had bought and then opened the plastic bag to see what was inside. Her eyes immediately opened wide.

"This… I can\'t accept it. It\'s too expensive!" said Sarah when she saw the box containing the action figure of Batman.

"Well… you made my position difficult. It might look good but it\'s cheap, really! So I took the price tag off on purpose," Arthur said shyly.

Sarah rolled her eyes when she heard those words. She might have believed it because Arthur said it so casually, but she hadn\'t forgotten that action figure.

Her kids had wanted it before, but because it was too expensive, Sarah refused to buy it.

"You can\'t fool me. I know the price!" said Sarah and then mentioned the price.

Arthur was a little surprised when Sarah got it right. He had deliberately removed the price tag so Sarah wouldn\'t know the real price, but he had no idea that Sarah would know the price.

"I can\'t take this," Sarah said, handing the plastic bag back to Arthur.

"Just take it," Arthur insisted. "I bought it with a sincere heart for your kids. You shouldn\'t have refused the presents," he continued with a smile.

Honestly, he could have guessed that Sarah would reject it because of the high price of the toys, but that was really good. This is his first present to Sarah\'s kids, shouldn\'t he give a good one?

"But…" Sarah still had doubts.

"You know I don\'t have a nephew. So if you return it, I don\'t know who to give it to. It\'s not like I can ask the shop for a refund," Arthur replied with a smile.

"I can\'t donate it to an orphanage either. You know what will happen if I do."

Sarah reflexively nodded when she heard that. The toy is sure to be a grab for the kids and it will get them into a fight.

"Okay," Sarah said with a sigh. "But I won\'t accept a present this expensive again next time," Sarah continued firmly.

"Alright, boss."

There was silence in the car again for a moment. The two of them seemed to be thinking about something.

Sarah licked her lips which suddenly felt dry. Right now she should end her meeting with Arthur because she realized that Michael had been bothering her while she was on a date with Arthur.

She was still thinking about him.

However, how could she say that when Arthur was not only kind, but also considerate? The man even wanted to buy expensive presents for her kids.

"You should go," Arthur said, suddenly breaking the silence.

"Eh?"

"Before I change my mind and ask you to go somewhere else," Arthur said, looking at Sarah gently.

Sarah\'s lips formed a smile when she heard that. Her heart was pounding a little.

"Okay," Sarah replied with a smile then immediately opened the car door and after saying goodbye to Arthur. Sarah immediately went inside.

In the end, she couldn\'t tell Arthur that they were better off just being friends. Michael did bother her, but on the other hand, Arthur was a nice guy.

She knew being with Michael would be better for the kids, but… Sarah wasn\'t sure. She had to accept Michael as her partner, not because he was the father of her kids, and right now, she saw Michael as the father of her kids, not as partner.

"You\'re home," Michael said when he saw the door open.

Sarah was a little surprised when she saw the figure of Michael who was sitting waiting for her in the living room. From the expression on the man\'s face, he looked like he was sleepy.

"You should just sleep if you\'re sleepy," Sarah said walking towards the dining table to put the plastic bag she was carrying.

"I wanted to wait for you," Michael answered honestly.

Sarah just pursed her lips when she heard that. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

Unlike two weeks ago when Michael had to do his work, this time the man was really waiting for her with an expression that had just woken up.

Sarah had no idea that Michael would be waiting for her. He could just go straight to bed, right?

"By the way, what is it?" asked Michael curiously looking at the plastic bag Sarah had just brought.

Sarah was out on a date with the lawyer. Did she come home with something they ate earlier?

"Ahh… that…" Sarah opened the refrigerator to get some water. "Arthur bought presents for the kids," Sarah answered honestly.

Michael was a little surprised to hear that. Not only did the man want to get close to Sarah, but he also wanted to get close to his kids?

"Looks like he\'s paid a lot of money, so he can buy presents," Michael said sarcastically.

"I guess so," Sarah replied. "He is a senior lawyer and seems quite famous."

Michael snorted when he heard Sarah\'s words. That\'s not what he meant!

"Then, I\'ll go to the room first," said Sarah, choosing to leave immediately because she could feel the atmosphere suddenly become a little awkward.

Michael just nodded at that. Once Sarah had entered, he looked down at the plastic bag Sarah had left on the table.

He was suddenly curious. What did that lawyer buy? Then… could he just throw it away before the presents were received by his kids?

Michael immediately shook his head. He just sounded so pathetic and it would be even more pathetic if he did!

"Hopefully the kids won\'t like the presents!" said Michael with annoyance then immediately walked to the second floor. He decided not to look at the present for fear he couldn\'t help but throw it away.

He could only hope that Raphael and Gabriel would not betray him.

Today, Michael came to his office feeling very upset.

Yesterday, he planned to play with his kids as usual. However, his kids completely ignored him because of the present the lawyer had given him.

Who would have thought the lawyer would buy the Batman toy his kids really wanted? He had told Sarah that he would buy it when they were out and the kids wanted it.

However, Sarah refused, arguing that they were still kids, and they shouldn\'t be buying presents worth of a month\'s salary by someone else. They wouldn\'t even use the toy for long, so Sarah was against it vehemently.

Michael then tried to keep playing with them and act like normal, but the kids chose to play alone and didn\'t let him join at all. They\'re busy talking about Batman!

"You came early!" said James when he saw Michael who had arrived on time, like never before.

Michael just nodded and said nothing. Today the kids were not going to school, so he didn\'t have to wait like before.

James looked at Michael with a confused expression.

\'What\'s wrong with him?\' thought James wonderingly. Michael\'s mood has been changing a lot lately. Is he really going through menopause?

As soon as Michael entered and sat in his room, he was still muttering in annoyance. Thinking about the present. It seemed he had to give something to get his kids to look back at him.

"Oh right! Mansion! I almost forgot about that!" Michael muttered as something crossed his mind.

Before he had time to pick up the intercom on his desk to call James. Someone knocked on his door and James\' figure entered.

"James, what about the Mansion I told you to look for?" asked Michael suddenly before James could tell him why he had come to see Michael.

"I\'m still looking for it. Currently, there is no vacant land and the area exceeds the area of ​​​​the land owned by Mrs. Anna Moss," answered James.

Michael clicked his tongue when he heard that. He knew that it would indeed be very difficult, but he did not expect it to be this difficult.

"Keep looking for it. I don\'t care about the cost! If there is no land for sale, you can go to the landowner and negotiate with them!"

James\'s expression was slightly surprised to hear that. He wanted to say that Michael had gone mad, but he decided to swallow his word.

"Okay, I understand," said James

Michael nodded

"Oh yeah, why did you come to see me?" asked Michael suddenly when he realized that James had entered before he called him.

"I wanted to let you know that you have a business trip," James said, sounding professional as usual.

Michael\'s brow furrowed. "Business trip?"

After what happened yesterday, this was not the time for him to go on a business trip! Sarah went on a date with the lawyer, and the kids might soon meet and like the lawyer!

He can\'t go anywhere right now!

"Well, I\'m not going!" said Michael before James could explain.

"No! You have to go!" said James firmly.
