Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 159 Let Me Give You Some Advice

Anna slowly tried to let go of Michael's grip, and pulled her hand away. She then looked at the man whose expression now looked disappointed with what she had just done..

"Sorry, Michael. I can't do it. Like I said, I can't see a future between the two of us," Anna replied with a polite smile.

She could confidently compete with the woman who was Michael's ex-girlfriend, but she wasn't sure she could do it with his ex-wife. Not to mention they both seem to have a story that doesn't seem to be finished well.

Not only Michael, but the woman also looked at Michael with a look full of love. Anna didn't want to be in the middle of something like that. She wasn't confident and she was sure it wouldn't be good for her and for Michael either.

"Is it because… I was married before?" Michael asked, trying not to sound sad.

He never thought that his divorcee status would make it so difficult for him to have a new relationship. Was this the reason his mother had told him not to tell anyone about him being married before?

Anna shook her head.

"I'm really annoyed that you didn't tell me that from the start. However, that's not the reason I don't want to have a relationship with you. Like I said before, you seem to still love your ex-wife," said Anna, trying to explain it again so that Michael wouldn't misunderstand.

If she hadn't seen them at the wedding, Anna could have confidently said that she would have thought about it and not simply rejected Michael. However, Anna could see with her own two eyes how the "couple" looked very intimate that night.

"Ahh ... I see," said Michael who could only give that response. It seemed she had made her decision and there was nothing Michael could do to change her decision but accept it.

It seems, once again his relationship is not going well.

"Alright, then I'll go first. Oh right, as a woman you've dated, let me give you some advice. Resolve what happened between you and your ex-wife first before starting a new relationship. That's what you can do for your next girlfriend," said Anna then put her sunglasses back on and stood up, preparing to leave immediately.

"How did you know I was divorced?" Michael asked suddenly.

After he thought about it, he managed to get his memories back because of Anna's words. But… How could Anna know that? Had she met Sarah before?

Michael's question made Anna pause where she was, she then turned and looked at the man.

"From your mother!" said Anna briefly then immediately turned back to the door of the cafe. However, suddenly the woman turned around again and walked over to Michael.

"Oh right, please do me a favor, tell your mother not to bother me anymore. She keeps calling me and it bothers me!"

After saying what she wanted to say, Anna immediately left the cafe and left Michael behind.

Meanwhile, Michael's forehead looked furrowed at the information he had just received. His mother told Anna that he was divorced? But why?

Suddenly, something crossed Michael's mind.

"Didn't… Sarah and I went to visit dad and mom that time? Why are they also acting as if nothing happened?" Michael thought vividly remembering him and Sarah coming to visit his parents that weekend. Sarah even checked the condition of her father who suddenly became ill.

He had obviously told his parents that he and Sarah had divorced, but his parents had said nothing about it!

Michael suddenly began to feel angry and betrayed. His hands that were on the table began to clench as his jaw tightened.

Has everyone been lying to him all this time? Did they play with him and think that what happened to him was a joke?

Michael then took out his cellphone and tried to dial his father's number, wanting to ask what really happened.

However, just as he was about to press the call button, he gave up. He prefers to confront problems face to face in order to see how the reaction of the person who will be confronted.

He would do that when his father had returned from his vacation. Then…

Michael suddenly stood up and walked out of the cafe. Although right now he wanted to find out why Sarah would do such a thing to him. He was too curious why his parents would do such a thing to him.

He's going to see his mother!

Mrs Collins couldn't hide her surprised expression when she saw her son coming to visit her at home. She, who was sitting reading a fashion magazine while enjoying her tea, immediately put the magazine on the table and stood up and approached her son, opening her arms wide.

"Ohh… I'm really happy that you came to visit me. It was a real surprise," said Mrs. Collins as she hugged her son.

Michael just smiled and returned the hug.

"Have you eaten? Looks like you're getting thinner. Wait a minute, I'll see if there's anything I can make…"

"No need. I've already eaten. Actually, there's something I want to talk to you about," Michael said and led his mother back to sit on the sofa.

"What is it?" asked Mrs. Collins. Her face looked confused. She knew that it was impossible for her son to suddenly come to her house, especially since it was still a working day and it was still her working hours.

"Did something bad happen to the company? What should we do? I still can't reach your dad, why did he have to go on vacation and still not come back? It's almost…

"Mom!" Michael called and touched his mother's arm so that she could focus on him again.

"It's not like that. Collins is fine. Quite the contrary, I have good news for you," Michael continued with a smile.

? Mrs Collins' mouth opened slightly when she heard that. Good news?

"What is it? Did you manage to acquire a big company again?" asked Mrs. Collins, getting excited. The expression on her face was clearly proud and radiant, her son was really reliable.

Michael shook his head. "No, It's something better than that."

Mrs Collins's expression changed slightly, she looked wondering. What really good news will her son say?

"I've recovered. My memory has returned," Michael said with a big smile on his face.

Mrs Collins' eyes widened, surprised by what her son had said. Her son's memory has recovered? This is really good news, ah, great news. Now his son can go back to dating Anna.

"But… Why did you lie to me and act as if Sarah was still my wife?"

"That… It's because of that woman! She said it was the best for you!"
