Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Sarah tried hard to hold back her tears when she saw the look on Michael's face that looked hurt.

It made her heart ache.

However, Sarah knew that she couldn't be with Michael anymore. It wasn't because she didn't love him anymore, or because she loves Steve so much right now.

She did have feelings for Steve, but not as much as she had for Michael.

Sarah was well aware of that.

However, the two of them simply couldn't be together. Michael had a fiancé whom he would marry, a woman Mrs. Collins likes it.

If she had their engagement annulled, Sarah wasn't prepared to take the risk.

She would feel guilty about Anna, and she had no idea what Mrs. Collins would do.

This is the right decision. For her and Michael, and for her baby.

"You're lying!" said Michael who could not accept Sarah's words at all.

"I know you still love me! I have done wrong in the past, and we rarely see each other because of our work. However, you have witnessed how our life is now, Sarah!" Michael's hand then grabbed Sarah's hand. The woman's hand still refused but Michael held on to it.

"We've been happy for over a month, Sarah! So please… we can fix this," Michael said hoarsely, trying to hold back the tears.

Sarah bit her lower lip when she heard Michael's desperate tone.

She knew that Michael might be serious about what he said. She knew that Michael might break off the engagement if she took him back.

But…

Sarah slowly pulled her hand back, she then looked at Michael who was now looking at her with teary eyes.

"You really believe that? Wow! Looks like I have a talent for acting! Maybe I can try to become an artist," said Sarah with a condescending smile on her face.

Michael fell silent when he heard that, then started shaking his head, refusing to accept what the woman had just said.

"You're lying! If you want to do this to take revenge on me, you can use other means, Sarah. Don't do this to me! I..."

"Michael! Our relationship ended three years ago! The judge has knocked three times with the gavel! We are over!" Sarah said as she clenched her fists, trying to give her strength not to let out her true emotions.

"So please, if you at least don't want to worsen the relationship between us. Please respect me!" Sarah continued.

Michael was silent when he heard Sarah's words. His tears were about to fall but he was trying not to let them out.

Sarah had turned him down, and the last thing he wanted to do was look pathetic in front of her.

"Okay, if that's what you want. I'll do it."

Like in the past when Sarah asked him for a divorce, this time he would too.

He would follow the woman's request. If that's what will make her happy.

"I wish you happiness, Sarah." Without realizing it, Michael's tears just came out, but Michael quickly wiped them away. He didn't want to look pathetic.

Sarah was just silent when she heard that, she could feel her nails digging into the skin of her palms because she was clenching them too tightly.

She can't cry in front of Michael! The man must not know her true feelings!

Michael finally decided to turn around and leave immediately when Sarah didn't say anything.

When he passed Steve, Michael just nodded at the man. The man who has the heart of his ex-wife.

Steve just nodded then looked at the man's back which was getting further away.

He didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but it didn't seem like it was going well for them as he could see a hint of sadness in the man's eyes.

Steve then decided to go back to Sarah.

When Michael was gone, Sarah couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Her heart really ached, but Sarah knew she had to make this decision.

"Are you okay?" Steve's voice made Sarah hastily avert her face and wipe her tears.

She had almost forgotten that there was currently another man she had to talk to.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Sarah said, turning back to Steve after she managed to hold back her emotions again.

"Oh, okay," Steve said awkwardly. He wondered what was going on but Steve knew he shouldn't have asked, unless Sarah wanted to tell him about it.

"So… should we talk later? Looks like a lot has happened to you right now," Steve said when Sarah was silent. He didn't know what Sarah wanted to talk to him about, but now didn't seem like the right time after what had just happened to that woman.

p "No. Let's talk now. I… just don't know where to tell you," said Sarah, looking confused.

Steve was a little surprised to hear that. He could sense that Sarah wasn't going to tell him the happy news.

"You can tell me slowly," Steve said softly with a smile.

Sarah still looked doubtful. She then took a deep breath to calm herself down. After feeling calmer, Sarah looked back at Steve.

"I am pregnant."

"Oh!" That was all Steve could say because he was completely speechless. He had no idea that this was what Sarah would say to him.

"You said you had an IUD," Steve said as his brain started working again.

"I did! Wait a minute! This isn't yours, Steve! You think I'm going to find out right away that I'm pregnant the next day after what we did?" Sarah asked, explaining further when she saw how shocked Steve was right now.

Steve's head immediately shook when he heard that.

"You're right, then…" Steve didn't continue.

"That's Michael's."

"Oh!" Again that was all Steve could say. He was too shocked that it made his brain not work properly.

"Steve! I want you to focus!" Sarah then held Steve's arms when she saw the man's face.

She knew this would definitely take Steve by surprise, but she had no idea it would make him look this dazed.

"Ah, yes! So… you decided to go back with him?" Steve asked as he worked his brains out.

Sarah shook her head.

"No, my relationship with him is over," Sarah answered quietly.

Steve's lips subconsciously formed a smile when he heard that. Does that mean Sarah chose him?

"But… I have also decided to keep my baby."

The smile on Steve's face immediately disappeared when he heard that.

"Oh!" Again that was all Steve could say.

"I… have to think about this first, Sarah. Can you give me some time?" Steve asked as his brain began to work properly again.

This… was too sudden for him!
