Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Sarah's facial expression looked disbelieving when she heard the nurse's words. However, when the nurse showed her the screen of her cellphone which was displaying information about the dress, Sarah's eyes opened wide.

Didn't Steve just tell her it was a cheap dress? Well… she believed it because Steve couldn't possibly lie to her, but what was this?

"This dress is so beautiful! Doctor Sarah, you said it was a gift from someone? Your boyfriend?" asked the nurse admiring the dress she was holding, not noticing Sarah's bewildered expression.

Why did Steve lie to her?

"Ah? Yes? it was a gift from my friend," Sarah answered briefly.

The nurse's gaze immediately turned to Sarah when she heard that answer.

"What? Friend? Man or woman?" he asked curiously.

Sarah became a little awkward when she heard the question, did it make a difference if a man or a woman gave it to her?

"Man?" said Sarah quietly.

The nurse's ears perked up when she heard Sarah's voice. The one who gave this dress was a man?

"Doctor Sarah! Why are you lying!" said the nurse, pouting her lips, feeling like she was betrayed that Sarah had lied to her.

"What do you mean?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"Which male friend would give a dress this expensive? Doctor Sarah has seen the price!" said the nurse who felt what Sarah said was nonsense.

The dress cost seven months of her salary, and probably about three months of Sarah's. How can a friend give a dress at such a price? After all, it wasn't Sarah's birthday present.

"But he's really just a friend," Sarah answered seriously.

Well… Steve is her friend, right?

The nurse didn't answer, she studied Sarah's face closely, as if wanting to find out if she was lying.

"Ah! He must like you," said the nurse after finding that Sarah was being honest with her and then went back to admiring the dress.

"Eh?" Sarah looked confused. Steve likes her?

"We're just friends," Sarah corrected the nurse.

The nurse looked back at Sarah, then rolled her eyes

"Doctor Sarah! Are you that dense? You've seen the price of the dress! You really think a friend would give you such an expensive dress?" asked the nurse excitedly. Didn't expect Sarah to be that insensitive.

Sarah innocently nodded.

"We've been friends for a long time," Sarah said. She still couldn't accept that Steve liked her.

She doesn't deserve that.

"Then he has liked you a long time ago! Or has feelings for you!"

***

This half day Sarah had a little trouble concentrating after hearing what the nurse said earlier.

Steve likes her?

The strange feeling she had last night resurfaced as those words flashed through her head.

However, once again Sarah tried to push the thought away, Steve was just a friend!

"Steve!"

Sarah looked at the man who had recently made her feel something strange, was sitting in front of her enjoying his lunch.

Steve didn't answer because his mouth was full of food, but from the look on his face he could see that he was curious about what Sarah had to say.

"Why did you lie about the dress?"

*cough cough*

Sarah's question made Steve choke, he immediately took the glass in front of him and drank it.

Meanwhile Sarah seemed to be waiting, her facial expression was normal, but her hands were starting to feel cold.

What if Steve said something she didn't want to hear?

"You already know it?" Steve asked with a surprised look, not expecting Sarah to know the secret of the dress so soon.

Sarah was taken aback, not expecting that was the reaction that would be given by Steve.

"You think I'm that stupid?" Sarah asked, rolling her eyes.

Steve nodded slowly, before finally laughing when he saw Sarah's annoyed expression.

Sarah snorted at the look on Steve's face, but in her heart she was a little grateful, at least what she thought was true, Steve was her friend.

"I can't accept that dress, Steve," Sarah said with a serious expression on her face.

Even though she and Steve were friends, she couldn't accept such an expensive dress.

"Then throw it away," Steve replied nonchalantly, much to Sarah's surprise.

"Hah?"

"I mean, I gave it to you, and the dress is yours. If you don't like it, throw it away. I certainly won't take back what I gave," Steve replied as he ate his lunch again.

Sarah glared when she heard that. How could she throw away such an expensive dress?

Seeing Steve acting as if nothing had happened made Sarah sighed, it seemed like the dress was destined to be hers.

If Sarah had realized that the dress would be a problem another day, she would have insisted on returning it to Steve.

***

Michael looked at his wife who was walking beside him hugging his arm. His wife's face looked beautiful as usual, but this time his eyes couldn't escape from the paper bag that was brought by his wife again.

It bothered him a lot.

"You seem to like the paper bag," Michael said quietly, looking straight ahead, trying to sound casual.

"Paper bag? Ah. This?" Sarah asked, then lifted the paper bag she was holding.

"Yes, it's very useful, but I'm not to the point of liking it," she continued.

Michael just pursed his lips when he heard that. It wasn't something he wanted to ask! Isn't Sarah very smart? She should know what that means!

"I see, I thought you liked the paper bag so much you brought it back. I can buy you some if you like it," Michael said.

Sarah's brow furrowed when she heard Michael go back to discussing the paper bag. Well… not that Sarah didn't like this topic of conversation when they were on their way home at night, but it was too random.

"What is it?" asked Sarah curiously. She did not understand Michael's attitude at all.

"What do you mean? It's nothing, I was just curious if you like the paper bag," Michael replied looking at Sarah and trying to look normal.

If he told her what was bothering him, Sarah would call it jealousy. He's not a jealous man!

Sarah's expression still showed that she didn't believe what Michael said, it felt like there was something he was hiding.

Sarah couldn't explain how she knew about it, but is this more like a woman's intuition?

"What's wrong, babe? Hm?" Sarah then released her hug on Michael's arm and stood in front of him, causing Michael to stop.

"I told you it's nothing, let's go home, we'll be there in a minute," Michael replied.

"Come on! You might think that we're only married for a short time, but I know you very well. So what's the matter?" Sarah asked and took both Michael's hands.

No, actually she didn't know the man in front of him at all. Michael had become a very different person from what she remembered.

However… this feeling… Sarah could somehow sense that something was bothering Michael.

Michael sighed. Did his face look that clear until Sarah noticed?

"That… haven't you returned that person's suit yet?" Michael asked quietly, lowering his face. His cheeks slightly reddened when he said that.

Sarah's eyes blinked, trying to process what Michael had just said, before finally a crisp laugh escaped her red lips.

Michael raised his head and looked at Sarah in annoyance.

"Ohh… babe… why are you so cute?" Sarah asked then raised her hands and held Michael's cheek. Her feet then slightly tiptoed to kiss the man's lips.

Sarah had no idea what had happened to her to do something like this to Michael because it was completely spontaneous and not part of her mission.

So Michael had been feeling a little different since that man thought she brought back Steve's suit?

"You haven't answered my question," said Michael, this time not hiding what he was thinking anymore.

Sarah chuckled lightly when she saw Michael pouting his lips. Why is that man so adorable?

"Don't worry. I've already returned it. This is the dress I wore last night, my friend gave it to me," Sarah explained.

Michael's expression immediately turned into a smile upon hearing that.

"It seems your friend realized that the dress suits you better than her. You look very beautiful in that dress," replied Michael thinking that it was a dress from Sarah's female friend.

While Sarah didn't really hear Michael's words, she was in a good mood right now.

It seemed that knowing that Michael was jealous made Sarah feel good.

Sarah then immediately hugged Michael's arm again and continued walking to their apartment.

"Are you that happy?" asked Michael who also smiled at Sarah.

Once again Michael thought Sarah was happy to have gotten a dress from her friend. Looks like after this he has to ask Sarah to go buy a dress.

However, Michael's expression immediately changed upon hearing Sarah's next words.

"Yeah, you look very cute when you're jealous," Sarah replied and then looked at Michael with a mischievous smile.

"I'm not jealous!"
