Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 42 I Want To Discuss...

Sarah's expression immediately changed when she heard Michael's tone that sounded serious.

She then slowly looked at Michael again, and caught the serious expression on Michael's face.

It wasn't the smiling or warm expression Michael had been showing.

"What's going on?" Sarah thought, noticing the sudden change in the atmosphere.

Sarah, who had been a little drunk with the wine she was drinking, immediately regained her senses.

"Oh? What is it?" Sarah asked, pretending to look normal. She even had a smile on her face.

Even so, Sarah was really nervous. She could feel cold sweat running down her spine.

Has Michael's memory recovered and has he remembered everything?

Sarah swallowed her own saliva as the thought crossed her mind.

Michael just kept quiet, his expression turning to doubtful, as if he didn't know where to start.

"What's the matter, Michael? You want to say something?" Sarah asked still in a friendly tone, then took a glass of water to drink to calm her down.

It felt like tonight had suddenly become colder than usual, even the glass and water was colder than before.

"That..."

Sarah became more and more tormented by Michael's attitude looking like this. She wanted to immediately scold Michael and tell the man not to beat around the bush and just say it.

However, Sarah managed to restrain herself.

Michael still didn't finish his sentence. The expression on his face was still difficult for Sarah to decipher.

"I… want… to… discuss…"

Sarah bit her lower lip, every word that came out of Michael's lips made her even more tortured and her heart was beating fast.

Will Michael talk about his returned memories? How had Sarah been tricking him all this time?

"Child."

Sarah blinked as she heard Michael's last words.

"What?" Sarah asked again to make sure. She was a little calmer now that she knew Michael didn't want to talk about her lying to Michael.

"I want to talk about child," Michael said again. His tone was serious and clear.

"Child?" said Sarah repeating the words once more, afraid she heard him wrong.

However, a nod from Michael's head convinced her that she had heard it right.

Michael wants to talk about child.

"Don't… you think it's time for us to have a child?" Michael asked, this time his tone sounded more cautious.

Sarah was silent when she heard this. This had never occurred to her at all.

Why is Michael suddenly talking about child again?

So he's preparing dinner tonight to talk about child?

"Sarah?" called Michael when Sarah was silent.

"Yeah? Ahh, sorry. You brought it up too suddenly," Sarah said then raised her glass again to calm her down. However, she soon realized that the glass was empty. Sarah awkwardly put the glass down.

"Would you like some water?" Michael asked. The water in the glass has also run out.

"No, I'm fine," Sarah refused.

Michael nodded and didn't raise his hand to call the waiter.

"So what do you think?" asked Michael, continuing the subject.

"Why do you suddenly want to talk about this?" Sarah asked, looking into Michael's face.

She was very curious as to why Michael was discussing this.

Michael's brow furrowed when he heard Sarah's question. Didn't expect his wife to even ask that.

What's wrong with him wanting to talk about this?

"Actually… it wasn't all of a sudden. You're a surgeon now, right?" Michael asked.

Sarah nodded.

"Doesn't that mean your dream has come true? We used to put off having children because you wanted to become a doctor first. Isn't now the right time?" continued Michael, still looking serious.

Sarah fell silent when she heard this. When Michael proposed to her, she did say so, wanting to pursue her career before becoming a mother.

But… how can she have children when she doesn't have a husband or a lover?

"I don't know if the two of us discussed this before I lost my memory, but… we're not both young anymore, Sarah. We're in our thirties," Michael said with a sad smile.

The last time he remembered he was still at the age of thirty, and now suddenly he was already thirty-five.

While his wife was thirty-two years old.

At that time Michael did say that he would not force Sarah to have children immediately, but at that time Michael was still not really aware of his age and the age of his wife.

"I know I said I wasn't going to force you to have a child right away, but… as a doctor, you know that our chances are going to be getting smaller and smaller."

Sarah subconsciously nodded when she heard that. What Michael said was not wrong.

If she wanted to get pregnant naturally, she was almost in the age limit to do so.

"Moreover, we plan to have two children," Michael continued with a small smile.

Sarah felt tightness in her chest when she heard those words.

True, she had planned that before with Michael.

Her family's future plans…

"Sarah?" called Michael again when Sarah was silent. Sarah's expression was blank, so Michael didn't know what his wife was thinking.

"Yeah, I know we're not young anymore, and we're going to have a hard time having children," Sarah answered quietly.

Michael's face immediately broke into a wide smile when he heard that. Thankfully Sarah agreed to what he said.

Looks like from now on they'll have hot nights, ahem, to work hard to make babies and that can start tonight!

"But… I don't think it's time yet, Michael," Sarah replied with an apologetic smile.

Michael's facial expression immediately changed when he heard that. He didn't even control it in shock.

"But why?" asked Michael, leaning forward and placing his hands on the table. "Didn't you say we'd have a hard time having children if we kept delaying it?" he continued.

Sarah was trying to stay calm even though her brain was currently thinking hard for an excuse.

She had planned a wonderful future with Michael, lived in her dream house and had two children.

But… she's divorced! For god sake!

How can she have two children with someone who has become her ex-husband?!

And let alone having children, she doesn't even want to have sex with her ex-husband.

How could she suddenly have a child?

"Do I have to say that I plan on taking up a sub specialist which takes two years?" Sarah suddenly thought of that reason.

She did plan to take up a sub specialty, but she was still contemplating whether to take pediatric or cardiothoracic.

However… Sarah immediately shook her head. She couldn't use that excuse.
