Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

In the end, Sarah decided to accept Arthur's invitation to lunch.

She didn't know where Michael was taking her children because she forgot to ask, but Sarah was sure he wasn't taking them straight back to the apartment.

That means, she will only be alone in the apartment.

So with that in mind, Sarah felt there was nothing wrong with her accepting her childhood friend's offer.

Not long after, Sarah and Arthur were sitting at one of the restaurant tables near the law firm where Arthur worked.

"But I never thought I'd see you again!" said Sarah after the waiter had left with their order. Her facial expression looked happy.

"I know, right? It's been about twenty years," Arthur said with a smile and moved his body forward while supporting his head.

"But how can you recognize me? Do I still look like I did twenty years ago?" asked Sarah who looked confused and amazed that Arthur could still recognize her.

Teresa, the mother at the orphanage also recognized her at that time, but the woman already treated her like her child, and it's impossible for a mother not to know her child, right?

So Sarah was very curious how Arthur could recognize her.

"That… they say men never forget their first love. It seems that's true," Arthur replied with a wide smile. His ears reddened a little.

Sarah blinked her eyes, trying to process what the man had just said.

"You used to like me?" asked Sarah followed by a laugh.

She and Arthur at the orphanage were quite close because they were the oldest siblings and often spent time together taking care of their younger siblings.

Hearing that the man once liked her made Sarah unable to hold back her laughter.

"Don't laugh at me like that! What about you? Why don't you remember me at all?" asked Arthur trying to divert the conversation before his ears turned even redder.

He wasn't even a teenager anymore, but his ears could turn red like this just because of Sarah.

"Ah! Sorry about that! I recognized you. It's just that I didn't think that you would become a lawyer," said Sarah shamelessly.

After she looked at the man again, she could indeed see a resemblance to the boy she remembered.

"You're a terrible liar," Arthur snorted, which was answered with laughter from Sarah.

Their conversation stopped when the waiter came to bring their food.

"Oh right, are you married? How many children do you have?" asked Sarah, suddenly starting to interrogate him.

The man already knew her story, so Sarah also wanted to know the man's story.

"Ah, I'm still single," Arthur answered shortly and took his drink glass and sipped it.

Sarah's lips opened at that. She did not expect that Arthur was not married at all.

Is the man busy with his career?

"I see."

"Enough with me. What about you? Didn't you leave the orphanage to become a doctor?" Arthur asked curiously. He didn't ask about Sarah's job when they talked at the law firm.

"That..."

Sarah then began to tell about her struggle, occasionally she asked Arthur and the two began to reminisce about their past.

Sarah's lips never stopped smiling as they reminisced about their childhood.

Despite being in an orphanage, there are many sweet memories while being there.

Suddenly, the conversation was interrupted when Sarah's mobile phone rang again. It was a call from Michael!

Arthur looked at the woman who was picking up the phone, his lips never stopped smiling and his eyes never left Sarah.

"She's still beautiful."

Arthur flinched slightly when he heard the muttering that had just come out unconsciously.

This afternoon he did spend a pleasant time with Sarah, but what was that earlier? He just unconsciously muttered that Sarah is still beautiful?

Well… she does still look beautiful, but he doesn't need to mumble like that, right?

"Sorry Arthur, it looks like I have to go," Sarah said with a panicked face and immediately picked up her bag.

"Did something happen?"

"Yes, it's my son! Ah! This is money for my food!" Sarah said then took out her wallet from her bag and gave the money to Arthur.

"No need! I'm treating you!" rejected Arthur.

However, Sarah still put it on the table and prepared to leave immediately.

"Sarah!" called Arthur suddenly holding the woman's hand.

"I can go and drop you off. If you want," he offered.

Sarah was silent for a moment, her brow furrowed as if thinking, before she finally nodded her head.

"Is that okay?" asked Sarah, feeling bad.

Arthur nodded.

After finishing paying for the food, Arthur and Sarah walked back to the law firm parking lot, where Arthur's car was parked, then immediately headed to Collins.

During their way, Arthur occasionally turned to Sarah who was sitting in the passenger seat next to him. The woman's face looked panicky and her eyes focused on the street, as if to see how many cars would block them.

Seeing that, Arthur increased the speed of his car. He didn't know what had happened to make Sarah panic like that, but it was clear that he had to get to Collins as soon as possible.

Not long after, the car driven by Arthur finally arrived in front of the Collins building, and Sarah hurriedly unfastened her seat belt.

"Sarah," Arthur called, touching Sarah before Sarah got out of her car.

"Can you call me later to tell me what happened? I don't have your number," said Arthur with a hopeful tone.

He did give Sarah his name card before he told her that he knew Sarah.

"Ah! Alright! Thanks again for taking me, Arthur!"

After saying that, Sarah immediately got out of the car and ran towards Collins' entrance.

***

That morning, there was a commotion in Collins.

Michael, their CEO who is the one most eligible bachelor, has just come to Collins office with not only one, but two children at once!

It immediately became the hottest topic that morning because people were curious about who the two children were.

"Isn't that Mr. Michael's nephew?" typed one of the people in the office chat gossip group.

It wasn't time for lunch yet, but they were too impatient to talk about it. So they discuss it in a gossip group that contains almost all the employees except the leader.

"Mr. Michael is an only child! Those children can't possibly be his nephews."

"Then… are they his son?!" Typed someone else.

The atmosphere in the group suddenly became silent when they saw the question.

"Eyy! It's impossible! Who's the mother then? He never dated again after he dated Anna, and Anna is married!"

"Then… is that a child out of wedlock? I didn't think Mr. Michael would do that!"

"But... I've heard rumors that Mr. Michael was actually once married and divorced, maybe it was his son with his ex-wife?"

The topic of conversation continued and people began to speculate on the children's identity.

Meanwhile, a blonde woman who was in her apartment, looked at the screen of her mobile phone which was showing the chat.

Her facial expression looked very upset.

"So this is the reason you broke up with me?"
