Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Sarah immediately shook her head as the thought crossed her mind. No! What she meant was that she wanted to be in a family like this.

Friendly and warm family!

Involuntarily Sarah pursed her lips. Looks like it will continue to be her dream. After all, if she wanted to have a family like that, she had to get married, and right now marriage didn't seem like the right thing for her.

Who would want to marry a woman like her? She was quite old, and she was divorced.

The conversation finally stopped when a beeper sound can be heard. Three of the four people who were there immediately checked their respective pagers, it turned out to be Sarah's.

"Ahh… this…" Sarah became a little flustered. Even though they had finished eating and were just enjoying fruit as dessert, it felt very awkward if she had to excuse herself after she had just finished eating.

"What are you waiting for? Go," said Sam when he saw Sarah just silent and didn't leave immediately.

"Do you feel bad about leaving?" asked Mrs. Brown with a smile. What she said was right on target.

Sarah just smiled awkwardly at that.

"It doesn't matter. We understand. This family has two doctors. You don't know how often my husband has to walk away at family events," explained Mrs. Brown.

"Steve, you can drop Sarah off. I think she took a taxi here," continued Mrs. Brown now looking at her son.

Steve nodded then immediately stood up.

"Come on, Sarah!"

Sarah still felt bad, but she finally decided to stand up.

"Mrs. Brown, professor, thank you for the dinner. It's really delicious! Sorry I have to go first like this," Sarah said with a smile.

The two of them nodded and looked at the backs of the two young people who were getting further and further away.

"What do you think about Sarah?" asked Mrs. Brown suddenly, looking up at her husband.

"What do you mean?" Sam asked, picking up an apple and eating it. He didn't understand the meaning of the question.

p "Well! As future daughter-in-law!" said Mrs. Brown excitedly.

Sam choked a little when he heard that, not expecting his wife's question to be like that.

"Yeah… I like her a bit. I've known Sarah for quite a while, even when she was in college. What about you?" Sam asked back, deliberately not wanting to comment further.

Even though Sam liked Sarah, and it was okay to accept her as daughter-in-law if her relationship with Steve turned out that way, he would respect his wife.

He knew his wife was a little bit against Steve wanting to become a surgeon, following in his footsteps, because that meant Steve had to go often when there were emergency patients.

So, a daughter-in-law with a job as a surgeon will definitely not be approved by his wife.

"I like it. It's a shame she's a surgeon, but I like her," Mrs. Brown replied with a smile.

Sam's eyes widened at that. This was completely unexpected.

"Is that true? I thought you didn't want any more surgeons in the family," said Sam, telling her what his thinking.

"Well… I thought so at first, but Sarah changed my opinion. She is a sweet and polite woman."

Sam nodded at that.

"I like her too, but let's leave that to Steve. That kid should try a little harder!"

"Is it that bad?" asked Mrs. Brown a little surprised. Didn't expect that her son didn't understand how to deal with women.

"That's why you don't just teach him how to open the patient's head!"

Sam was silent when he heard that. Does he really have to teach his son?

Meanwhile, along the way Sarah and Steve were silent. Sarah seemed to have closed her eyes, resting a little, making Steve not want to disturb her.

Not long after, Steve's car finally stopped at the hospital.

"Thanks for the ride, Steve!" said Sarah then immediately ran without waiting for an answer from Steve.

Steve who had already opened his mouth, immediately closed it again when he saw that and smiled. Seeing how Sarah ran like that made Steve like her even more.

***

Sarah walked towards the exit of the hospital stretching her shoulders. Seems like it's karma because she lied to Michael earlier, so the patient really came and she had to do surgery.

Sarah's face, which looked tired, immediately turned into a surprise when she saw the man sitting in the lobby, immediately stood up when he saw her and walked over to her.

"Steve? Why are you here?" Sarah asked confusedly then subconsciously looked around to find the man who was usually waiting for her.

Seeing Steve who was here instead of Michael, felt very foreign.

"I'm waiting for you! You're done, right? Let's go!" Steve replied.

Sarah furrowed her brows when she heard that.

"Go? Go where?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"To your apartment! Don't worry! I won't go inside. I just wanted to take you outside!" said Steve hastily adding so Sarah wouldn't misunderstand.

"That…"

"I insist! Let's go!" Steve said then immediately walked first.

Sarah sighed. It wasn't that she didn't like Steve dropping her off, but Sarah's mind was subconsciously conscious of Michael. She felt like she was having an affair with another man? Anyway, this doesn't feel right!

"What are you thinking, Sarah! Come back to your sense!" Sarah thought shaking her head and quickly walked after Steve.

How could she think she was having an affair with another man? Even though she's still Michael's wife right now, that just pretends! She is divorced and single!

"Thank you for coming to my house. I hope my mom doesn't make things difficult for you!" said Steve suddenly as he was walking with Sarah, his head slightly raised, looking up at the sky that seemed very beautiful tonight.

"Not really. Mrs. Brown is very friendly. I should apologize for leaving like that," Sarah said still feeling bad about it.

"It's okay, my mom will understand about that," Steve said looking at Sarah with a smile.

Steve then told his experience as a child when his father always had to go because he got a call from the hospital. His mother even had time to hide the pager, but her efforts failed because his father immediately found it.

Sarah listened to Steve's story with a smile and a laugh. She could picture Mrs. Brown's irritated face.

Steve smiled at Sarah's laugh. Thankfully, even if it was only for a moment, she was able to smile and laugh like this, and not look as sad as the previous days.

Unknowingly, the two of them had arrived in front of Sarah's apartment.

"Thanks for dropping me off, Steve" Sarah answered sincerely. Even though this wasn't her destination because she had to go to Michael's, Sarah appreciated Steve dropping her off.

Steve nodded, causing Sarah to quickly turn around and pretend to go inside so Steve could leave.

However, suddenly Sarah's hand was held by Steve.

"Sarah, I have something to tell you!"
