Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Sarah's eyes widened, her mouth slightly parted when Steve walked over to her and immediately hugged her tightly. This wasn't the first time she'd had physical contact with Steve, she'd even hit his arm or chest a few times, but this was the first time the physical contact had been a tight hug like this.

It was warm and cozy, Sarah never knew Steve's build was big enough to hug her.

"You are really cool. How could you do something like that?" Steve asked, letting go of his arm and then looking at Sarah with a big smile on his face.

However, Sarah did not answer Steve's question. She looked dazed, either because she hadn't eaten since earlier, or because of the hug.

"Sarah?" called Steve when he noticed Sarah's expression looked different. This was not the reaction he expected from Sarah.

"Oh, yes? What did you say?" asked Sarah, who came back to her senses. She couldn't hear what Steve was saying because she was confused by the sudden hug.

"Are you okay? Ah, come on in first!" Steve said then immediately took out his car keys and pressed it. He then immediately opened the car door for Sarah and put one hand on Sarah's head but not touching her head so she wouldn't hit the car.

Sarah got into the car with various thoughts running through her head. She no longer thought about what was happening at the wedding, but rather what Steve did.

Why did Steve suddenly hug her like that? They had been friends for a long time and this was the first time Steve had held her in his arms like before.

They had hugged before but it was just a greeting, there was no other meaning to it. So this made Sarah wonder if the hug meant something else.

"No. He did it because he was happy. Don't think about anything else," Sarah thought then glanced at Steve who had just gotten into the car.

For some reason, the man looked a little different tonight.

"Are you okay?" Steve asked after stepping on the gas, then glanced at Sarah with a worried face.

"Ah, yes, I was a little confused just thinking about my money!" Sarah said, trying to find a reason why she behaved like before. She couldn't possibly say that she was slightly surprised by the hug.

Steve even looked okay with the hug, like it wasn't a big deal.

"Your money?" Steve asked, a little confused.

"Yeah, I just threw all my money away! Now I have no money in my wallet!" Sarah said with a frown as she leaned back in the chair..

Even though her salary as a surgeon is quite good and the amount of money she throws is not much, Sarah regrets wasting money like that. She had to save up to buy a house.

Steve chuckled when she heard and saw Sarah's expression. The woman looks adorable.

"Should I pay your back?" Steve asked, holding back his laughter.

Sarah immediately got up when she heard this. Her expression looked as if she had just found an answer to a difficult exam question.

"Oh right! I can ask you to give me money!" said Sarah happily. Why didn't she think of this?

Steve smiled at the look on Sarah's face. It had been a long time since he had last seen her, but Sarah had not changed at all. The woman is always attractive.

"Ah! I shouldn't have told you," Steve said, pretending to be regretful.

Sarah rolled her eyes when she heard that and hit Steve's arm.

Steve tried to hold back a smile when Sarah's hand hit him, it actually hurt a little, but somehow he liked it? It's like a touch of physical contact.

"I'm really crazy. Have I turned out to be a masochist?" Steve thought as the thought crossed his mind. However, it seems he only likes it when Sarah hits him.

"Of course, you have to pay me back! I threw it because of you!" said Sarah suddenly becoming annoyed again at the thought of what had happened earlier.

"Okay! I will pay your back! Thank you for defending me!" Steve said moving his lips so excessively that his words sounded annoying.

"Uhh… you are so annoying!" Sarah said with a snort and then looked out the window. She was really annoyed.

Somehow, Steve knew how to make her feel annoyed.

Steve just chuckled when he heard that. He himself was taken aback by what he had just said.

"Oh yeah, where are we going?" Sarah asked, turning back to Steve. When she looked out the window, Sarah realized that the scenery outside had never been seen before. This was not the path they had taken earlier.

"I do not know. I just drove the car following the road ahead," Steve replied with an innocent look on his face.

Sarah opened her mouth in disbelief when she heard that. What? He didn't know where they were going and was driving following the road?

"What do you mean you don't know? If you don't know where to go, why do you choose a different road far from the hospital? You should have taken me home! You know I live near the hospital!" Sarah answered then turned her gaze to the side and sighed.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Steve should have driven her off so she could get some rest, or maybe dinner!

"Silly! You really think I just drive the car like that?" Steve asked, holding back a smile when he saw Sarah getting annoyed.

"Forget it!" Sarah answered, crossing her arms in front of her chest. She really wasn't in the mood to respond to Steve right now.

Steve glanced at Sarah who was still looking away. The expression on the man's face was serious. Looks like this isn't the time for jokes anymore.

"I'm looking for a restaurant," Steve said suddenly in a serious tone.

Since then he was worried about Sarah who hasn't eaten at all. But they had to leave the wedding before they even ate, and Sarah was looking a little dazed, maybe because she hadn't eaten.

So Steve tries to find a restaurant so Sarah can eat.

However, Steve deliberately chose to turn his car to the other side away from the hospital. He still wanted to stay with Sarah, even if it was only a few minutes with her in the car.

Sarah immediately turned when she heard this, to see if Steve was serious about what he said or just kidding.

"Then why did you choose a different road far from the hospital? There is a restaurant close to the hospital and it's open until late at night," said Sarah, still not believing what Steve was saying because he was always teasing her.

Steve didn't answer right away, he looked at Sarah.

"Because I want to be with you a little longer."

Sarah blinked when she heard Steve's words, and the way he looked at her. The look in his eyes was gentle, as was his tone that wasn't as annoying as usual.

Ah, Sarah had heard that tone before. When Steve saw her for the first time when she was wearing that dress and he complimented her on being beautiful.

Deg! Deg! Deg!

Sarah could feel her heart beating very fast, and her face felt extremely hot, as if a stream of blood had flowed down her face.

Thankfully Steve had to get back to driving and quickly averted his eyes to the front. So the man didn't realize what was going on with Sarah.

Steve occasionally glanced at Sarah to see the expression on her face because suddenly the atmosphere became quiet and felt awkward.

He just said what he was thinking to let Sarah know how he felt, but it seemed too sudden? Or did Sarah not feel what he felt right now?

"I mean, we haven't gone out like this in a long time and it just so happens that we both have time! Why don't we all look for a restaurant a little bit far from the hospital?" said Steve, breaking the silence.

Inwardly, Steve cursed himself. It wasn't what he felt. He did want to be with Sarah a little longer!

However, Steve didn't want to make the situation awkward between him and Sarah, especially now that they had to go out to dinner. This wasn't the time to make things awkward.

But Steve hated himself right now. He looks like a pathetic man!

"Oh… you're right! It's rare for us to have this kind of time," Sarah answered quietly, nodding and continuing to look at the road in front of her. She didn't want Steve to notice her blushing face, but she didn't want to take her face away from Steve either.

"What was I just thinking? Steve was just a friend. He couldn't possibly like me," Sarah thought with a sigh.

Sarah fell silent when she realized that she sounded like she was disappointed that Steve had corrected his words.

Did she really expect Steve to say that and not correct it?

"Do I like Steve?" Sarah thought in disbelief.

However, her heart that was pounding wildly at this moment seemed to have answered her question.
