Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 156 Is Over

Michael didn't know how he could come to work the next day, what happened yesterday was like a dream to him.

His wife had divorced him.

His marriage is over!

Michael immediately stood up from his seat and decided to get out, he couldn't be like this when he was working. His marriage isn't over yet, he can still fix it.

"Sarah? She has resigned and doesn't work here anymore."

Michael could not hide his surprise when he heard the words of one of the doctors in the hospital where his wife worked. Was she deliberately avoiding him because she didn't want to see him again?

However, after he asked a senior doctor, it turned out that his wife had not worked there since two days ago.

Michael came out of the hospital with a blank look. His wife has gone and disappeared? Michael then decided to take his cellphone and chose to call Sarah's number.

The call is not connected. Is the cell phone turned off? Or his wife changed her number?

Michael then scrolled through his cellphone contacts, trying to contact anyone who could know where his wife was.

However, Michael could only sigh when he couldn't scroll down anymore.

He doesn't have the numbers of his wife's friends or close family.

He… didn't know anything about his wife.

Michael was back in his apartment with a blank stare, he didn't know how he could go about his day until he got back to his apartment safely.

The apartment still looked the same as the last time he left, even the glass he drank yesterday was still on the table. He then walked into his room and decided to take a shower, once he was done and he opened his wardrobe, Michael was stunned.

The contents of his closet became more empty than usual, the women's clothes that used to be there had now disappeared.

It made Michael come back to reality, his wife had gone, his wife had left him.

Without realizing it, tears rolled down Michael's cheeks. His mind kept thinking about his wife's words that his wife was not happy during their marriage.

He… had failed at being a husband.

That night, Michael decided to go to the bar for a drink. He had been trying to sleep, but he couldn't sleep at all, he needed alcohol to help him and lamented over what had happened at this time.

The next day, Michael still went to work as usual. Actually he couldn't think of a reason why he should do it, he wasn't in a mood about going to work. His reason for going to work was gone.

However, Michael still thinks about his employees who work for him, making him inevitably come to work.

"Here is your coffee, sir."

Michael was slightly surprised when he heard a female voice. Since when did the woman enter his room?

He was indeed staring at the monitor screen, but again he could only think of his wife.

"Ah, thank you, Elizabeth," Michael replied looking at the woman he had recently hired as an assistant office clerk and also prepared drinks for the other employees. He then returned to staring at the monitor screen to continue work.

"There are more?" Michael asked when he saw the blonde woman still standing at his desk and not leaving immediately.

"That…"

"What's wrong? You can tell me," Michael replied when he saw her doubtful face.

"You seem to be exhausted. Is there anything I can help you with? Ah! How about a massage? Even though I'm not looking like that, I'm good at massaging."

"Thanks, but I'm good," Michael replied with a polite smile. He knew that she might be worried about him, but it didn't feel right to accept her offer.

After Elizabeth left, someone else came to see Michael, this time it was James.

"What's the matter, James?"

"I forgot to mention that yesterday the property agent contacted me and said that the tenant of the house you wanted didn't renew their contract. Are you still willing to buy the house?"

Michael fell silent when he heard the question. On his second wedding anniversary, Michael decided to find a house for him and his wife, a house on the beach with beautiful views, like his wife's dream home.

He plans to surprise his wife on her birthday.

However, it seemed that it was once again too late.

"No… Ah, yes, tell him I'll call him later. Thank you, James."

Even though his wife was gone, Michael would not give up. He has not signed the divorce papers and legally, he and his wife are still married.

He will find his wife and fix all this.

Michael's days then became busy, he went to work in the morning, in the afternoon he went to the hospital where his wife worked and asked the female doctor who seemed like friends with his wife, then returned to the office and in the evening he decided to go to a bar again.

He couldn't sleep at all without the help of alcohol.

Without realizing it, two weeks had passed and Michael still couldn't find where his wife was, making him even more frustrated and spending every day at the bar drinking.

"Michael. About last night. Is that true?"

Michael looked at James who was looking at him with a worried look. His mind was wondering what had happened last night, he could vaguely remember that it was James who had come to the bar and driven him home.

"You are divorced and asked me to find your wife." James added when he saw Michael wasn't sure what he was saying.

Michael fell silent when he heard that, apparently because he was so drunk last night that he ended up telling James everything.

"Could you not tell other people and do it secretly?" Michael finally decided to tell the truth. James is one of the people Michael can trust.

The days went by as usual, every day Michael always asked how James's search was progressing, and still trying to find his wife in the afternoon when it was lunch time.

"This is the fourth hospital. Let's hope she was here," thought Michael as he parked his car in one of the hospitals.

Michael was sure that his wife must still be in London and had not stopped pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor, so after finding no information from the female doctor at the hospital where she worked, Michael started to check out another small hospital nearby.

"This hospital is huge, I doubt Sarah is here," Michael muttered, still in his car and looking at the hospital building and getting ready to leave immediately.

However, he decided to go out, it wouldn't hurt him to check this hospital. Maybe his wife worked for a bigger hospital.

Michael was immediately grateful for his decision when he saw a woman he had not seen for a month. The woman's appearance changed slightly with her short hair, but it was still the same woman, the woman he loved.

Unknowingly a smile appeared on Michael's face, he could feel his heart beating fast, his legs immediately ready to run to his wife and hug her.

However, the smile on Michael's face immediately disappeared when he saw a man wearing a doctor's uniform approaching his wife, his wife's face smiled when she heard what the man said, his wife's hand even rose and lightly hit his arm.

"Ahh… she is already happy."

Unknowingly Michael's legs immediately turned and walked away from it, his heart suddenly hurt and tears immediately fell from his face, making Michael quickly wipe them.

He couldn't see the expression on the brown-haired man's face, but it seemed that the man and his wife were close, so close that his wife could smile like that.

Once Michael was in his car, he was still dazed by the sight he had just seen. His wife seemed fine and had been happy with a man even though it had only been a month since she had left him.

The court has not even ruled that they are divorced but his wife is already close to another man.

"Wait… Wow… she cheated on me but she accused me of having an affair?" Michael muttered with an expression of disbelief as the thought crossed his mind.

Come to think of it, from the start his wife was overreacting. She suddenly asks for a divorce and accuses him of being unhappy with their marriage.

"Wow… I'm at a loss for words. That bitch… Alright! If you really want a divorce from me because you've found another man. I will let you be happy with him!"

Michael then immediately drove his car to go to his apartment and took the brown envelope that was still on the table. He then took it out and read the contents of the paper one more time.

His eyes fell on his wife's signature which was on it, then on the empty column where his signature should be.

He took out his pen which was in his coat pocket and pressed the tip of it against the paper, ready to sign it.

Suddenly, Michael's hand stopped. He can't do it.

"She cheated on you, Michael. She's already happy with another man because you can't make her happy."

Michael's hand then moved, followed by tears running down his cheeks. Now, he and his wife are really over.
