Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Dinda's face turned red when she heard Steve's compliment.

"Thank you, you look handsome too!" said Dinda with a shy smile.

She had not seen the man for a long time, and the man with the sky-bright eyes became more and more handsome.

Steve smiled, his mouth opened to make small talk with the woman, but suddenly a woman's voice behind Dinda was heard.

"Dinda Who is this handsome man?" asked the woman then glanced flirtatiously at Steve. Her face looked very curious and at the same time did not hesitate to tease the man openly.

Dinda immediately turned when she heard the question.

"He is Steve, my childhood friend," replied Dinda with a smile.

Steve smiled kindly and nodded his head slightly when he heard Dinda introduce himself.

Seeing their friend not coming back soon, three women who were in the room immediately walked closer to the door to see who the man who came to see Dinda was.

Steve was still standing in front of the door. can see there are three heads peeking, immediately smiled and nodded his head.

"It seems you have a lot of people in your room," Steve said, then chuckled  when he saw the three heads immediately hide.

Hearing that, Dinda immediately looked inside, from where she was, she could hear her friends whispering excitedly inside. Dinda just sighed when she heard it.

"By the way, I didn't expect you to actually come. Didn't you say you were busy?" asked Dinda who had turned to Steve.

"I've been busy, but I took the time to come to your wedding before you nag me. That's why I looked for you early, I was afraid I couldn't be at the party until the end," Steve replied, explaining why he had come here.

"I see... Then..."

Before Dinda could finish her sentence, suddenly a voice sounded behind her again.

"Dinda! Why don't you invite your friend to come in and introduce him to us?" asked Jane who suddenly appeared and looked at Steve with an interested look.

Hearing that, Dinda turned to Jane, then to Steve.

"Why don't you come in? I will introduce you to my bridesmaids!" Dinda said inviting Steve to come in.

It seemed that Jane and the rest of her friends were curious about Steve and wanted her to introduce him to them. Well… Steve looks really handsome tonight, so it's only natural that her friends want to get to know him.

Even though they are models and often see handsome men, adding one handsome man in their acquaintance is not something bad.

"I love to walk into a room with five beautiful women. It was an honor for me to be in paradise with five angels, but it was a shame that I had to turn it down. I'm afraid I can't get out of there alive," Steve replied with a charming smile on his face.

Dinda blushed slightly when she heard that, as well as her friend who had opened the door, and also Jane.

"Then, I'll excuse myself, Dinda. I have to go see your dad first. Congratulations on your wedding!" Steve said once again making Dinda immediately regain her senses.

"Okay! I'll call you later, Steve," replied Dinda nodding with a smile.

Steve nodded, then looked back at Dinda's two friends with a smile before finally leaving.

When the door to the room was closed and Dinda came back inside, her friends immediately interrogated her.

"Who is that handsome man?"

"I didn't know you had such a handsome friend! Is he still single? Is he from a rich family?" asked Jane excitedly.

In appearance, Steve lives up to her type, she just needs to check how the man's finances are. After getting married, she plans to retire from her job, so she doesn't just need a good-looking man, but a man who can keep her from working again.

"Calm down, girls! I know you are curious, but you don't have to look at me like that," said Dinda, shaking her head when she saw the behavior of her friends.

"He's Steve Brown, the resident neurologist at Star Hospital."

The women's eyes lit up slightly when they heard that explanation, Star Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in London.

"Then how do you know him? Is he your doctor?" asked one of Dinda's friends curiously.

Dinda is a supermodel, if she knows a businessman, it is quite natural because it is likely that she has worked with that businessman before.

But her closeness to a doctor was quite strange, except that she was a patient of that doctor.

"Oh, no. He has been my friend since childhood. His father was my grandfather's doctor and Steve often came with his father to my house. We are the same age which makes us friends," said Dinda, smiling, reminiscing about her memories with Steve when she was a child.

The others nodded at that. Now everything becomes clear why Dinda can be friends with Steve.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" asked Jane suddenly.

If Steve's parents were doctors, though not as wealthy as businessmen, then it's not that bad. Doctors nowadays are rich.

Dinda was silent, trying to think hard whether she had ever seen Steve posting his photo with a woman on his social media, before finally shaking her head.

"I don't know, I don't think so."

Jane smiled hearing that, it seemed that tonight she had to get acquainted with this handsome man.

"Ohh… Look at Jane! Someone seems really excited!" teased one of the women when she saw Jane's face. Jane just smiled proudly hearing that.

***

Michael's black Mercedes Benz entered the parking lot of a hotel, Michael was seen looking for an empty place to park his car because the large parking lot was almost full.

Looks like a lot of people are coming to the hotel tonight.

"Babe."

Michael, who had unbuckled his seatbelt and was ready to grab the doorknob, turned his head when he heard the woman beside him call out to him.

The woman in the red dress was staring at him. She had a strained expression on her face.

"You understand what I said, right?" Sarah asked in a sharp voice, her eyes also stern, showing that she was serious and not joking.

Michael nodded.

"I understand. You don't have to worry!" Michael answered gently with a smile, trying to reassure Sarah that he would not violate the conditions for Sarah to come with him.

Even though Michael was a little against it because he didn't agree with Sarah's condition, in the end he complied with his wife's condition after hearing the reason why Sarah said that condition.

***

"But there is a condition."

Michael's brow furrowed when he heard his wife's words. Condition? Why did his wife suddenly ask for a condition?

"I'm listening," Michael replied, holding back a smile.

Would his wife ask for what he had mentioned earlier? They would leave if Sarah wanted them back soon, or asked him to massage her as soon as they got home.

"You must not introduce me as your wife," Sarah replied calmly and expressionlessly.

Michael blinked his eyes, trying to process what Sarah had just said. After he realized what she meant, annoyance immediately took over him.

"What do you mean? I can't introduce you as my wife? Did you even listen to what you just said?" asked Michael immediately stood up and let go of Sarah's hand which had been held by him.

Why was his wife so unwilling to admit that they were married? Michael could understand Sarah wanting to hide their relationship in the hospital because Sarah operated on him even though doctors shouldn't operate on members of their family because it would be unethical.

But why didn't Sarah want them to be known as husband and wife elsewhere?

Is she ashamed of him?

Sarah was still sitting where she was, her expression was calm when she saw Michael's reaction. She seemed to have guessed that this was the reaction Michael would make when he told her condition.

"Can you be calm first? I have my reasons for that," Sarah replied calmly, trying to persuade Michael to calm down first.

Michael fell silent hearing that, he then took a breath and let it out. He did that twice. Before finally sitting next to Sarah when he felt he had calmed down.

"I'm doing this to protect you," Sarah said softly, looking at Michael with a gentle gaze.

"What do you mean? What does that have to do with you protecting me?" asked Michael, still not understanding what Sarah was talking about.

Sarah took her eyes off Michael and took a deep breath, trying to adjust her expression to look sad.

"Actually… I read the news about you," Sarah said quietly, turning her head back to Michael. "News that has been deleted by James."

Michael's body stiffened when he heard Sarah's words. He had previously admitted to Sarah that he was having an affair and James had deleted the news. But… Sarah read the news?

"Forgive me. I…"

"No! I have absolutely no problem with that!" Sarah cut in quickly when she saw Michael lowered his head and a look of guilt was evident on his face.

"Then why are you bringing that up again?" Michael asked, lifting his face and looking at Sarah.
