Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 149 Love Make People Stupid

The soft kiss slowly broke off as they wanted to catch their breath. Their chests seemed to rise and fall, while their eyes met each other's.

"So… what is it?" Michael asked, raising an eyebrow. His face looks confused but on the other hand he is also happy with what Sarah was doing. Not every time he will get a kiss on the lips from his wife.

Sarah didn't answer, the look on her face showing that she was deep in thought.

She loves Michael? Why? How could that be? Her feelings for the man were dead when Michael agreed to her divorce!

Sarah wanted to deny it one more time, but she could still feel her heart beating fast, making her unable to deny it.

She still loves Michael.

However… What should she do now? She and Michael are divorced and she is only pretending to be Michael's wife at the request of Mr. Collins. They can't be together anymore.

"Wifey?"

Sarah came back from her thoughts when she felt a touch on her arm, her face immediately turned to the man who touched her.

"Yes?"

"What are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly kiss me?" asked Michael, now looking worried.

He was initially confused by Sarah's sudden action, but seeing his wife lost in thought made Michael worry. This doesn't seem like a good sign.

"It's nothing, it's… I just suddenly wanted to kiss you," Sarah said, deciding to lie. She couldn't possibly tell Michael that she was currently trying to check her feelings for him.

"Then, I'll go first, I still haven't showered." Sarah then immediately turned around and prepared to return to the bathroom, where she would use to think about this further.

However, Michael suddenly grabbed her wrist, causing Sarah to turn back and look at the man.

"It can't be nothing if you act like this. What is it? Just tell me," Michael said looking at Sarah with a worried expression on his face.

Sarah was silent, not answering the man. Well… how could she answer that?

"Is it because of that woman earlier?" Michael asked, trying to guess.

He knew Sarah was jealous and didn't want to admit it, but was that why she was suddenly acting like this?

"I know I cheated on you before, but it wasn't like that. It's the first time I've spoken to her," Michael said, his tone sounding a little frustrated.

"The nurse suddenly came up to me and asked if I was Michael Collins, she said she used Collins products a lot and was a fan of mine, that's why she asked for a photo with me earlier," Michael continued, explaining what happened.

After experiencing amnesia, Michael found out that he was becoming quite popular and had fans. Collins is a company engaged in accessories and fashion, plus at his young age, he is becoming a bit popular among women.

"I don't know why I did things like that in the past, but I swear I won't do that again, Sarah. You are the only woman I love! Trust me!"

Sarah was silent when she heard Michael's explanation, that wasn't actually the reason why she was behaving like this, but she didn't expect Michael to misunderstand and tell her what had happened with the nurse earlier.

Ah yes… Michael used to be an asshole who cheated on her, even though he misunderstood and thought he was having an affair with the model, when he was having an affair with Elizabeth.

Why… after what Michael did to her… her heart still beating fast like that? She still loves that asshole?

Without realizing it, Sarah's tears suddenly came out and rolled down her cheeks as she recalled the events of that night. Michael is such an asshole, why does she still love him? Why would she be a stupid woman who still loves that man?

Can love make people that stupid?

Michael's eyes opened wide when he saw his wife who was suddenly crying, his hands quickly rose and embraced his wife in his arms.

His wife had been behaving as if it was nothing, but it seemed like it hurt her a lot. Michael could only curse his past self for acting stupid like that and hating himself!

***

A sigh escaped Sarah's lips as she waited for the elevator to come down, she couldn't get down at all thinking about what was going on.

Mr. Collins can get home soon, she should have ended what she was doing, but she was now in love with Michael.

Amidst all the things that happened, she had to come back to work.

"Good morning! Why do you look tired when it's still morning?"

Sarah immediately turned when she heard a very familiar male voice, the blonde haired man was looking at her and smiling as usual. It seemed Steve had returned to his usual self after he had given it a day.

A sigh escaped Sarah's lips again, now what was she supposed to do with Steve? She thought the man she loved was Steve, but her heart fluttered when she kissed Michael.

Did she have to kiss Steve to check it out?

Sarah immediately shook her head, she was not that kind of woman.

"Why? Do you have nightmares or can't sleep? I have a playlist of the instruments I listen to a lot, you want me to give it to you?" Steve asked as they got into the open elevator.

"It's nothing, I just have a lot of work to do," Sarah replied with a curt smile and then pressed the floor button where she worked.

Steve was a nice guy, but right now she was still confused about Michael. Looks like next Saturday she should come to her apartment and think about what she should do with the current situation.

Steve just looked at Sarah then nodded when he heard the short response from the woman. Although on the outside he looks fine, Steve's brain is thinking hard right now.

Why did Sarah act like that? Was Sarah mad at him because he didn't come to see her yesterday?

Steve immediately shook his head.

"Maybe she's just in a bad mood, I'll have to see her later and cheer her on," Steve thought then nodded his head. His face was full of determination.

Michael was tapping his fingers on the table, it's three o'clock in the afternoon and he's had quite a bit of free time.

Last night's incident really bothered Michael, seeing his wife suddenly crying like that.

He had already settled his business with the model, did he also have to settle his business with the blonde woman who worked at his company?

But what should he say? Should he call her and say they should not continue their relationship anymore?

But what exactly is his relationship with that woman? Are they just sex partner? Friend with benefits? He gave her a job in exchange for sleeping with him?

Michael's hand was raised, ready to press the intercom button to call James to tell him to call the woman to come to his room, but suddenly Michael pulled his hand back.

Right now he didn't know what the character of the woman was, what he remembered from her was that they had sex in his office room. What if the woman realized she had amnesia and told everyone that?

"Looks like I'll have to visit that bar, who knows I might remember something," thought Michael, deciding not to act rashly.

With Anna, he could remember that their relationship was like dating, but with Elizabeth, he couldn't remember much about her.

However, the problem was how was he supposed to visit that bar?

Did he have to lie to his wife to go to the bar? Michael clearly didn't want to do that, he was determined not to lie to Sarah and to be a better man for his wife.

But… What should he do now? How was he supposed to go to that bar without lying to Sarah?

Michael's brain, which was thinking hard, was immediately interrupted when he heard a knock on the door of his room, his head immediately turned in that direction, to find out who was bothering him.

"Come in," Michael replied.

Not long after, James' figure appeared behind the door with a brown envelope in his hand, making Michael wonder what his secretary was carrying.

"What's that? Do you have any more information with what I asked for?" asked Michael curiously, not expecting James to be getting information about Elizabeth again in just one day.

The shake of James' head made Michael could only swallow his disappointment.

"This is the package you've been waiting for," James replied and placed the brown envelope on the table.

Michael immediately took the envelope and saw that it was addressed to him and still sealed, indicating that James had not opened it as he had ordered.

"Oh, thank you," replied Michael who was suddenly filled with various emotions.

"Michael," called James who was still there.

Michael immediately turned to James.

"Why did you get the package from the court?"
