Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 61 Steve And Ellen

When he heard Sarah ask about his job, for some reason Steve didn't like it.

During this time when they were eating together, work was always the topic of their conversation.

Could he be selfish tonight and talk about something else? He wanted to get to know Sarah more deeply, what Sarah had been doing so far, what was her favorite movie, or even something as random as her favorite color.

Steve wanted to get to know the woman.

Even though he didn't like the question, Steve tried to answer it politely, not wanting to offend Sarah.

"Tonight… can you not discuss work?"

Steve finally got up the nerve to say that to Sarah.

Did Sarah have absolutely no questions for him? Apart from something work-related?

"Ah, why did you and Ellen break up?"

Steve looked taken aback when he heard the question, before finally changing his expression and suppressing a smile.

This woman… this wasn't really a work-related question, but of all the questions Sarah could ask, did she choose to ask that? As the first question?

"What about you? Why did you and Michael divorced?"

Steve decided to ask again to tease Sarah, it seemed that his lips curled into a smirk without realizing it.

Actually, Steve didn't really care about why the couple divorced, he didn't care about the reasons behind it, which is clear now that Sarah is single again and that opens up opportunities for him.

But he wouldn't have refused if Sarah had finally told him, and it seemed like tonight was the right time to ask her that?

Well… he's a little curious, readers will also be curious.

Sarah couldn't hide her surprised expression when she heard the question. She awkwardly took her drink and drank it.

Damn, looks like she needs some alcohol right now.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, I think I was being rude, I'm sorry," Steve said, then ate his food again and acted as if nothing happened.

To be honest, Steve felt a little disappointed. He thought his relationship with Sarah had grown so close that Sarah could tell him about it.

However, seeing Sarah's expression that looked troubled, and as if not ready to tell him, Steve chose not to force Sarah.

It seemed like Sarah still couldn't tell him.

However, this only made him even more excited to approach the woman again.

Sarah smiled awkwardly at that. She really doesn't like telling other people the reason why she got divorced, it seems Michael did the same thing because he didn't tell Mr Collins about it.

Well… how could he tell his family that it was his fault, right?

"Me and Ellen break up because of me," Steve said suddenly while eating his food.

He had absolutely no problem telling Sarah everything.

"Because of you? Why?" asked Sarah curiously.

Even though Steve was a student who was quite popular because of his good looks, she could remember there was no reason for Ellen to break up with Steve.

"Ah! I know! You must be so annoying! That's why she dumped you," Sarah continued quickly with a mocking smile. Deliberately want to pay back Steve who acted annoying in the car

Steve chuckled when he heard that.

"No, not because of that. Actually the reason is a bit embarrassing… I used to be very childish," Steve said with a shy smile.

"You're still childish," Sarah thought.

"Oh! What is it? Now you make me curious," said Sarah looking interested. It was rare for her to see Steve look like that.

"Just watch out if you joke again!" threatened Sarah hastily.

Steve chuckled when he heard that.

"Actually… Ellen doesn't know my family, she thinks I'm from a poor family," Steve explained.

Sarah's brow furrowed when she heard that. Their campus is a very expensive campus and can only be entered by the rich, or through scholarships like her.

So Ellen should have known that Steve was the son of a rich family.

"You mean?" Sarah asked confusedly, unable to guess why Ellen would think that way.

"That… I wanted to look smart, that's why I said I got a scholarship," Steve said shyly.

To get the scholarship, they have to get a perfect score in the entrance exam. Not that Steve wasn't smart, his grades were at least more than the passing grade to get into their campus.

"What? Why would you do such a thing? Silly." Sarah looked taken aback before finally starting to laugh, she could imagine Steve doing that.

"Well… that's because I'm still childish. After all I also want to be like you, who is so cool. You know that many admire you who can get scholarships," said Steve smiling.

Sarah just smiled when she heard that. It has to be admitted that she turned out to be pretty cool in the past.

"Then… how did Ellen invite you to her wedding?" Sarah asked, still curious.

Steve and Ellen break up because Ellen thought Steve wasn't on her level, and Sarah didn't turn on Ellen for that.

It has become a common thing.

"Because of my good looks?"

Sarah snorted and rolled her eyes when she heard that, making Steve laugh.

"Ah! After you asked to move to another hospital, Ellen worked at that hospital. Well… I'm also not trying to explain that I come from a rich family, but it seems like she's still a little interested in me," Steve explained, looking confident.

Sarah snorted once again at that.

"You look confident!" Sarah said mockingly.

"Of course! I treat my woman well, I'm sure if she knew the truth, she would want to ask me to date her again," Steve replied.

"Yeah yeah, I trust you," Sarah said mockingly.

"I'm serious! You can try it if you don't believe it," Steve said teasingly.

"What?" Sarah was a little surprised to hear that.

"To be my woman?" Steve asked with a grin.

Sarah snorted at that, but she couldn't hide the blush on her face.

"I told you not to joke like that! You must be dreaming if I were your woman," Sarah continued, trying to sound casual.

Normally, Steve would tease her like this, but for some reason tonight it seemed so effective.

"That must be a nightmare," Steve continued and laughed when he saw Sarah's expression.

"It was a nightmare because it means when I wake up, you are not mine."

However, Steve did not say that to Sarah.

"Oh yeah, since I told you about Ellen, how about you tell me about her husband?" asked Steve who was too lazy to say his name.

He wondered what had happened between Sarah and the bastard.

"Ah… him," Sarah then recounted what had happened, and occasionally Steve teased her by saying that Sarah had a secret admirer.

Although deep down, Steve was furious.

That bastard stalking Sarah? How dare he!
