Chapter 258 - Sarah's Refusal
Sarah pushed Mike away from her body. "This is Edward's child, not yours! You must be making it up so I don't think my son has no father, right? I don't need pity, because my son doesn't have a father anymore!"
mike looked at Sarah in frustration, he ruffled his hair then approached Sarah and held her shoulders. "Sarah, you have to realize that it's impossible to conceive Edward's child because you always prevent getting pregnant when after having sex with him, the child is my child, our child!" mike confirmed.
Sarah pushed Mike back into a corner on the electric stove table. "I don't care! This child is still Edward's child because I feel like I'm just making love to Edward! Whereas you...?"
Sarah pointed at Mike's face with her eyes crying as if filled with anger.
"You're just a brazen and shameless friend, coward! Or maybe you're the one who put Edward in jail? Tell me, Mike!" Sarah instead accused Mike of another topic.
Mike, who was already disappointed with Sarah's very bad response due to her confession, finally decided to confess about Edward as well. "Yes, indeed I gave the evidence to Ethan's men."
"You're bad, Mike, you're bad!" Sarah beat Mike's broad chest which was covered by a baggy blue t-shirt because Mike wasn't the type of guy who liked to dress formally.
"You say I'm evil? Surely it's worse Edward who only uses you, tries to kill you, treats you unworthy as a wife? I'm always there for you whenever you're sad! Even when you are happy with Edo then you ignore me, I can accept it because Edo is my friend.
When Edo died, I was always there for you, then you just walked away and chose an obscure man like Edward! Even when Edward just made you cry, I was always there for you. Why is there no hope for me to make you happy? Why, Sarah? Even though I love you" mike vented his whole heart at length, hoping Sarah would melt and understand his feelings all along.
Okay, so what will Sarah say after this? It seemed that she hated too much the impudence of Mike who had slept with her, giving evidence of Edward's crimes to the police. even though she had entrusted him to keep it.
"Because I don't love you, Mike! We're just friends from the start and don't expect me to think of you as anything more than that and from today on, I hate you so much, you bastard, you coward, traitor and you also make me suffer even more!"
Sarah vented her anger, then she burst into tears. She sat on the floor leaning against the light brown kitchen wall. the pregnant woman curled up while ruffling her hair in frustration.
"Sarah...! I know I was wrong, but give me a chance to make you happy, raising our child together." Mike sat down on the floor too, touching Sarah's knee pleadingly.
Sarah looked hatefully at Mike who called the child in her womb "our child" it seemed to make her even more disgusted and disgusted. The pregnant woman quickly removed the man in front of her from her knees.
"Don't touch me, I don't even want to have a child with a presumptuous man like you! This child is Edward's child and doesn't expect me to want to be with you again!" Sarah said in a high tone then got up and walked with brisk steps towards her room.
"Sarah, wait, please give me a chance!" Mike chased after Sarah.
Feeling chased, Sarah stopped and turned to look at Mike with piercing eyes. "GET OUT OF HERE AND DON'T STEP YOUR FEET IN THIS HOUSE AGAIN!"
Mike choked on Sarah's refusal that pierced the recesses of his heart. doesn't he deserve love after all the sacrifices he has made? He spent a lot of time just for Sarah, everything for Sarah, but Sarah still looked at him with one eye. The man was very disappointed and felt he was seen as having no self-respect anymore.
"Go and never come again, from today on you are not my friend and I will never feel that I am carrying your child!" Sarah said emphatically with her eyes sharpened with anger as if they would explode if Mike kept her close. The pregnant woman was already disappointed.
Mike was silent with bloodshot eyes, his heart was so hurt. He immediately left Sarah who hated him so much.
'Is that how bad you look at me, Sarah? Even after Edward is gone you still reject me. I can feel that it's my son, but why don't you accept me, am I too lowly for you?'
Mike walked out of Sarah's house completely devastated, which he felt more than any previous rejection, he felt he had lost hope of being with Sarah. who would have thought that his confession would make it impossible for him to be close to Sarah anymore?
Arriving at the side of the car, Mike turned his head back to look up where Sarah's room was. 'I won't come again, as you wish, Sarah,' he thought bitterly.

in her room, Sarah was crying while staring at her wedding photo with Edward. The tormenting longing, the deep pain in the heart plus the fact that what was conceived was not the child of her husband, seemed to complement the suffering of the pregnant woman.
"Edward, I can't accept this fact. Is this not your child? Is this why you never felt obliged to love me?"
Sarah buried the photo against her chest as she leaned back against the pile of pillows. "Life is too cruel for me. Edo dies, you die, then Mike, whom I trust as a best friend, even pretends to touch my whole body, leaving seeds in my womb, betraying me. I'm tired of all this, I hate my life!"

Elsewhere, Andrew and Alexa are talking to Doni, Alexa's father. In the living room which looks luxurious with modern and luxurious furniture, there are also Dina, Arsha, and Ethan, while Luna does not come because she wants to rest at Dina's house.
"So, how about it, Uncle, will you accept Andrew's proposal to Alexa?" asked Ethan.
"Answer, your daughter needs reassurance," said Dina, glancing at Doni, who incidentally is her friend from a child, because they are twins like Keenan and Keyra.
Wait, Keenan and Keyra are like Dina and Doni.
Alexa lowered her head hoping that her father would bless and accept Andrew's proposal. Ethan, Arsha, and Andrew were also a bit tense because Doni was dreaming about holding his chin while glancing at Andrew from head to toe.
"Daddy." Alexa nudged her father's arm to keep him from daydreaming.
"Sorry, Drew ... I can't," said Doni.
Alexa immediately showed a disappointed face, as did Andrew and the others.
Doni glanced at the guests and his daughter who seemed weak. "I mean I can't decide and give an answer. Isn't it Alexa who is going to marry Andrew? That means Alexa has to answer."
"Is Daddy not joking?' Alexa confirmed with a look of amazement on her face.
"You are the one who wants to live your future, Daddy has no right to prohibit or regulate. If you are happy, I will be happy, your choice will be my choice too," Doni said confidently as if giving coolness in the tense atmosphere.
Andrew glanced at Alexa expectantly, while Ethan and the others waited casually.
"Give your answer, Alexa," Ethan shouted.
"I ... I accept," said Alexa a little nervous.
"Ha, I can't quite hear what you're saying?" Ethan scoffed.
Alexa smiled shyly and bit her lower lip. It could be ascertained that the tomboy girl's hands were already sweating cold sweat from nervousness. While Andrew smiled with relief as if his heart was saying, 'Soon you will be my wife.'
"Ugh, Ethan!" Alexa glanced at Ethan in annoyance.
"Are you serious about it?" Don made sure.
"Yes, dad," Alexa replied.
Doni nodded in understanding then glanced at Andrew. "Drew, since Alexa accepted you, I will accept you too. I hope you immediately bring your family to apply for Alexa in a family manner," he said later.
"Okay sir, I will bring my family to come here as soon as possible," replied Andrew confidently. Of course, he has to ask Ethan for leave if he wants to go to Singapore again.
