Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 48 You Don't Have To Pick Me Up

Michael chuckled lightly when he heard Sarah calling his name too as if she had something to say.

While Sarah smiled a little hearing that.

Somehow the current situation feels funny.

How could they simultaneously talk like that?

"What is it?" Michael asked gently with a smile. The cutlery that he was holding earlier had already been put down by him. His eyes focused on Sarah.

"No, you can go first. What is it?" Sarah asked and ate her dinner. She had absolutely no problem letting Michael speak first.

Michael shook his head.

"What do you want to say? You can say it first. Ladies first." Michael said, then leaned forward, curious about what his wife wanted to say.

Sarah didn't answer right away, she grabbed the glass that was on the table and drank the water.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that tomorrow you don't have to pick me up," Sarah replied casually then continued eating.

Actually, Sarah could have discussed this while they were having breakfast, but she was worried that tomorrow they wouldn't have much time to talk because they had to go to work.

So it seems now is the right time to discuss it with Michael.

Michael who had looked excited, immediately changed when he heard Sarah's words.

The expression on his face looked confused, and also looked displeased when he heard it.

"Why?" asked Michael who had sat back down. His eyebrows rose.

"Tomorrow I have something to do," Sarah replied casually as she continued to enjoy her dinner while occasionally glancing at Michael.

"Oh!" Michael looks a little happy when he finds out that Sarah has a schedule. He had thought his wife would forbid him to pick him up.

Thankfully it wasn't what he thought.

"What is it?" asked Michael, leaning forward again, curious as to what his wife would do.

It was unusual for Sarah to want to share her activities like this, so Michael was curious.

"It's… a wedding," Sarah said after a moment of silence.

She thought that when she told Michael not to pick her up, Michael would nod and ask no further.

So Sarah was a little unprepared when she heard Michael's question.

"Wedding?" Michael repeated, raising an eyebrow.

Sarah understood by the look on Michael's face that seemed to say who was hosting the wedding on a weekday?

Usually, people will choose the weekend as the day to hold their wedding.

Not only were the guests able to come because it was an off day, but the guests may also be able to linger because the next day they are still off.

But if the wedding is held on a weekday, guests may not attend and that makes the situation awkward.

The guest couldn't attend because of work, and the host was disappointed because the guest wasn't present.

At least, Saturday is the most fitting day to hold a wedding!

"Yeah, it was my friend's wedding," Sarah replied nodding her head. Trying to be as calm as possible so Michael wouldn't get suspicious.

Even though Ellen wasn't really her friend, Sarah at least knew Ellen. So you could say it wasn't a stranger's marriage, even though friends seemed too close.

Michael rounded his mouth when he heard that.

"When will it be held? I think I can accompany you," Michael offered himself.

Sarah who was eating choked on hearing this, she then hurriedly took her glass and drank the water.

What did Michael just say? He wants to accompany her?

"Are you okay?" asked Michael who had stood up and ran over to Sarah and patted her on the back. The look on his face was worried.

"I'm fine," Sarah replied with a smile.

Michael still looked at Sarah uncertainly, then immediately sat back down when he saw Sarah was fine.

"Sorry, looks like you can't come with me," Sarah replied after a moment of silence.

Well… how could she take Michael when she was going out with Steve?

Michael's eyes widened when he heard that before his expression hardened.

"Why?" Michael asked, his voice cold.

Sarah swallowed her saliva when she saw Michael's expression. The atmosphere suddenly felt cold and Sarah knew that Michael didn't like what she had just said.

Well… what can she do? If possible, Sarah was happy to invite Michael, but they didn't even invited her, she just kept Steve company!

"That… the one who is getting married is one of the nurses at the hospital. She saw you when you were in an accident and knew that I operated on you," Sarah said hastily finding an excuse.

It seemed that after pretending to be Michael's wife, her brain could easily adapt to come up with an excuse.

Although this is not a good thing.

Michael sighed when he heard that. He could understand why Sarah didn't want him to accompany her to the wedding.

But still, Michael didn't like it.

While Sarah kept an eye on Michael's face, it hadn't changed at all! Michael was still upset!

"Babe… come on! Don't be angry!" said Sarah, shrugging her shoulders and keeping her voice as cute as possible, trying to comfort Michael.

Sarah didn't really need Michael's permission to go. That man is her ex-husband! Why did she need to ask Michael for permission?

It was also the reason why Sarah immediately accepted Steve's invitation when she found out that her schedule was empty.

However, right now she is on a mission to make Michael crazy about her. So as best she could, she had to keep Michael's mood in check.

Michael was surprised to see that, subconsciously his lips formed a thin smile.

His wife is so adorable!

"Oh! You're smiling!" said Sarah when she noticed Michael's changing facial expression.

Michael immediately cleared his throat and adjusted his expression again.

He's still upset! Hmph!

"Eyy… don't be upset like that! You still look handsome when you're upset, but I like your smile more, hm? My husband is very handsome when he's smiling," Sarah coaxed and immediately stood up and approached Michael and hugged Michael's neck from behind.

Sarah herself didn't know why she had gone this far, but it seemed her mind was still remembering that this was a way to comfort Michael.

"Don't be angry anymore okay? I actually don't want to go because it will be very boring later, but I have no other choice, she is my co-worker," Sarah said softly.

"Hmm."

Sarah was running out of ideas to cheer Michael up. In the first place, why did she have to comfort her ex-husband who was upset?

"This is for your mission, Sarah! You have to be patient!" Sarah thought steeling herself.

Muach

Sarah suddenly kissed Michael's cheek.

"My husband is so handsome," she whispered then kissed Michael on the cheek again.

Michael sighed as Sarah started kissing his cheek continuously.

He was in a better mood.

"Wifey, how long do you want to keep our marriage a secret?"

Michael's question left Sarah speechless.
