Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

There was silence in the car again after what Sarah had just said. Steve blinked, still not believing what the woman had just said.

"I… honestly knew about it," Steve answered quietly.

He could sense that his relationship with Sarah was going too fast. He thought Sarah just needed a diversion, and Steve was all right about it.

He was sure that slowly the woman would love him, and they would get their happy ending. He knew he was being naive, but he really loves that woman.

Sarah flinched slightly when she heard Steve's words. She didn't know that the man actually knew.

"I see. You really love me, huh," Sarah muttered under her breath with a sad smile.

If she had been with Steve from the start, would her life be any different? Will they be a happy couple?

It had been a long time since Sarah had felt loved like that. However…

"I'm sorry, Steve. I know what you want to say, but I can't do it to you. You are a good man, Steve. You deserve another woman who is better than me," Sarah said softly with a smile.

For the past few days, Sarah had been thinking hard about her future as well as her child.

She had already decided not to tell Michael, but… did she really want to put Steve to make such a difficult choice because of her own fault?

She knew Steve loved her, but judging by his reaction, it was possible that Steve would reject her, and… that was absolutely fine.

This was her own doing, and she shouldn't be blaming Steve if he wanted to leave her, nor if he wanted to stay with her.

However, if the man would foolishly choose the latter option, it would be unfair to the man, and Sarah… didn't want to hold Steve responsible for what she had done herself.

She had to end her relationship with Steve!

Actually, Sarah thought it was an easy thing because she thought Steve would end their relationship first. However, after hearing Steve's tone of voice and how their conversation would continue, Sarah decided to speak first.

Before she changed her mind.

"Sarah. I'm absolutely fine. I…"

"I am not fine!" cut in Sarah who subconsciously raised her voice.

Sarah then took a deep breath to calm her down a bit. She is pregnant and emotions will not be good for the baby.

"I'm thinking of leaving London," Sarah said after feeling more relaxed.

For the past few days, Sarah had always been restless. She had been hiding something from Michael, what if he found out?

What if the man wanted to take her child?

Sarah knew if she continued to be here, Michael would surely find her one day.

So after giving it some good thought, she had made her decision to leave this city. In addition to getting away from Michael, she also wanted to change a new atmosphere.

She thought it was best for her, and the baby later.

"What?"

Steve's eyes widened when he heard Sarah's words, he looked at the woman's face intently, to see if Sarah was joking, but saw that she was looking at him with a serious look. Steve sighed.

"Your decision is final, huh?" Steve asked quietly, a look of desperation on his face.

Sarah slowly nodded her head.

"Don't I have a chance, Sarah? I can take care of you, and your child… I…"

"Steve!" Sarah touched Steve's hand when she heard the man's tone sound desperate and like he wanted to cry.

"To be honest, I thought you would leave me. That's why I wanted to dump you before I got dumped, you know, I've never been dumped and you seem to have some experience with it, so I guess you won't mind," Sarah said softly and started to chuckle.

Steve's lips formed a smile when he heard the woman's words. Actually, he didn't have much experience with it.

"However, I didn't expect that you would make such a stupid choice. I didn't know that you were that stupid, you are a doctor, more specifically a neurosurgeon. You should be smart, Steve!" Sarah continued looking at Steve with a smile.

"I knew you'd get a better woman than me, I don't deserve you, Steve."

Steve just sighed when he heard Sarah's explanation. If he was such a nice guy, why wouldn't Sarah want to be with him? Did he have to be the bad guy first?

"Can you tell me where you are going?" Steve asked, trying to stay strong. He knew Sarah had made up her mind, including the decision not to accept him, and… he couldn't help but to respect it.

"Eh?" Sarah looked surprised. He didn't expect Steve to ask that.

"I mean, you will go a long way after dumping me. I can't know where you're going?" Steve asked, explaining what he meant. "At the very least, I need to know where you are going after dumping me."

Sarah smiled at that. She didn't know if Steve was joking because the man had a serious look on his face, or if he was really just curious.

"To be honest, I still don't know. Maybe I'll leave England," Sarah replied.

Steve's facial expression looked disbelieving when he heard the woman's words.

"So you still don't have a plan. I thought you were going to your distant family or to your cousin's place," Steve said.

"Steve, I'm all alone! I know that this is a reckless plan, but I have to be strong. I am now a mother, single mother. I have to be strong for my baby!" said Sarah looking determined.

Steve sighed when he heard that. He wanted to persuade Sarah to think about it again, but the woman had already made up her mind. She was also a little stubborn, so Steve knew there was nothing he could do.

There was silence in the car again, which made Sarah a little more awkward.

"Then..." Sarah then immediately put her hand on Steve's car door handle to open the door. Her conversation with Steve was over, and it seemed it was time for her to go inside.

"We… can still be friends, right?" Steve asked quietly.

Sarah, who had turned her back on Steve, immediately turned around when she heard the question.

"Of course!" Sarah replied with a smile and nodded her head. Steve's lips formed a smile when he heard that.

It wasn't what he expected, but at least Sarah was still in touch with him.

"Then I'll go first."

Without waiting for an answer from Steve, Sarah immediately opened her car door and walked into the orphanage with light steps. She was relieved to end it with Steve and the man seemed to accept her decision.

Steve just looked at Sarah's back which slowly drifted away before finally disappearing behind the door. He sighed. Their relationship is really over.
