Chapter 250 Afternoon Tea
"Sarah's number?"
Steve's eyebrows rose when he heard his wife's words. He thought his wife wanted something more than that, but she just asked for Sarah's number?
"Okay, I'll give it to you," Steve said nodding his head. "My cellphone is in the bedroom, I'll give it to you later when we get back in the bedroom," he continued.
Anna was a little surprised when her husband easily gave her the woman's number, before finally a smile immediately appeared on her beautiful face.
"By the way, why do you need Sarah's number?" Steve asked curiously.
"I wanted to ask her to meet me," Anna answered honestly.
To be honest, there was so much that Anna wanted to talk to Sarah about.
One could say this was also her chance to check on that woman.
She has decided to go back to work, and for sure sometimes she won't be home and her relationship with her husband will be a long distance relationship.
Anna trusted Steve who wouldn't betray her, but that didn't mean she could just trust Sarah.
After all, she didn't know the woman and how she felt about Steve.
Sarah had even pretended to be still the wife of the amnesiac Michael, and Anna had no idea why she would do something like that.
What if… that woman is a cunning woman who will later seduce her husband?
Her first impression of Sarah was that she seemed like a nice woman, but Anna couldn't just jump into that.
She had to meet and talk to the woman first.
She did trust Steve, but that didn't mean she had to allow an opportunity for Steve to lose the trust when she could prevent it from happening.
It's not because she's possessive, but it's better to prevent than regret later.
"You guys gonna have fun together without me?" Steve asked, looking at Anna with a sad expression as he pouted his lips.
Anna laughed lightly at her husband's completely unexpected behavior. Ahh… she's so lucky to be married to a man like this.
The woman's hand then held Steve's cheek and kissed his adorable lips.
"Yes, you must guard the house with our daughter. It will be a meeting between women, men are not allowed."
Steve just pouted his lips when he heard that. He could imagine the two of them having fun.

After finishing lunch, Michael immediately called his two children to open the Lego he just bought yesterday.
As usual Gabriel seemed interested and immediately approached Michael, while Raphael just stared at them from afar while holding the remote of his RC Car with an interested gaze, then slowly approached them when he saw that it seemed interesting.
Michael smiled when he saw his children were now putting the Lego together with him.
Meanwhile, Sarah who came into her room after washing the dishes, came back out after taking a shower and changed her clothes.
"Mommy, where are you going?" asked Raphael who could see that Mommy's appearance was slightly different from usual.
"Mommy will go out for a while, Raphael, be nice and play with uncle, okay?!" Sarah said with a smile and then looked at her cellphone screen to see the current time.
This morning, she was suddenly surprised when she received a message from Anna who wanted to invite her to have afternoon tea together.
She actually wanted to refuse to meet the woman, thinking it would be very awkward. Moreover, Anna said it clearly that they would meet alone.
However, Sarah's curiosity overcame it. Her instincts told her that Anna seemed to want to talk to her about something.
Meanwhile, Michael who was playing with the Twins, subconsciously turned his head when he heard Raphael's voice and looked at Sarah.
The woman's appearance does look like she wants to go out, but where is she going? And most importantly, is she going to meet someone?
Michael's gaze then turned to Raphael, trying to send a signal for his son to ask what he really wanted to say.
"Mommy, where will you go? With who? Come on Raphael, ask that to Mommy!" thought Michael wished his son could read his mind.
"Okay," said Raphael, nodding in agreement.
They are currently in this apartment, so Mommy will definitely be home soon.
Sarah smiled seeing her son who was growing up and didn't cry anymore when she had to leave.
Could it be because he was playing with Michael? Well… Sarah was grateful for that.
Meanwhile, Michael sighed in disappointment when his telepathy didn't work. He then looked at Gabriel who was currently focusing on putting together his lego.
"Gabriel, Mommy is going out. How about you say bye bye first?" said Michael trying to shift the boy's focus to Sarah, and asking what he wanted to ask.
Gabriel, who was laying on his stomach while playing, turned to Sarah and raised his hand and waved it.
"Bye bye Mommy," he said briefly and then immediately went back to playing.
Once again Michael must be disappointed to see his children who don't seem to understand him.
Why didn't the two of them seem curious about where Sarah was going? Or at least cry and ask to come along?
Meanwhile, Sarah smiled with a proud look at her children who turned out to be more mature than she thought.
It seems that because she used to have to work, her children knew that if she left, it meant she would go to work. So they don't cry like they used to.
Once Sarah was sure her children understood she was going out, she immediately walked to the door.
"You're coming back for dinner, right?"
Michael's question made Sarah, who had opened the door, immediately stop and turn to look at the man.
"Yes, of course! You prepared dinner today, right?" Sarah reminded him.
It's Saturday, and as agreed with Michael, she won't be cooking on weekends.
Michael nodded as he tried to keep his smile from grinning widely.
If Sarah was going to have dinner with them, that meant she wasn't going on a date.
Well…there was still a chance that Sarah would actually go on a date, but at least they wouldn't make it to dinner together.
"Okay, be careful on the road," Michael said with a smile.
Sarah just nodded then immediately left feeling nervous.
She wasn't nervous about leaving her kids with Michael at home, because it seemed like they were getting close to Michael and Michael was playing well with them, but she was nervous about what purpose Anna wanted to meet her for.

Sarah stared at the city view in the afternoon clearly visible in the window. He is currently on the 31st level of one of the tallest buildings in London.
The afternoon sun that illuminates the buildings and the river makes the scenery look beautiful.
Sarah then immediately realized that right now she was not alone. Sarah's gaze then turned to the woman sitting in front of her.
The woman's face still looked beautiful, he didn't even think that they were the same age, because the woman looked younger and her clothes also looked very good on her body.
"She really is a model," thought Sarah, looking at Anna in awe.
"Thank you for coming to see me even though the invitation was a little sudden," said Anna in a friendly manner.
Since Steve apparently has the weekend off, Anna wants to use Sunday as their family time, so she wants to meet Sarah today.
"Ah, you don't need to thank me," Sarah said politely.
Anna then immediately called the waiter and began to choose their afternoon tea set menu.
After discussing with Sarah for a while, they finally started ordering the set menu.
The atmosphere between the two became quiet again, Sarah waited for Anna to tell her what she really wanted to say, but it seemed like Anna wanted them to drink tea first.
Sarah then turned back to the window, enjoying the view that always made her feel comfortable.
Not long after, the set menu of their choice was finally delivered, Anna's face lit up when she saw the small cakes and how they were arranged in a stacked basket and looked beautiful.
Without waiting any longer, she immediately took out her cellphone and started taking pictures.
In addition to the photo that will be sent to her husband to make him jealous, it is also to be posted on her social media.
Meanwhile Sarah just stared at Anna without blinking, not used to seeing what the woman was doing because she had never photographed food before.
Anna seemed to notice Sarah was looking at her, becoming a little embarrassed.
"I intend to send it to Steve. He's a little jealous because I didn't invite him to come with me to meet you," said Anna with a blushing face.
Sarah just opened her mouth, then shook her head. She could imagine that!
Sarah's hand then immediately took out her cellphone and started taking pictures. Looks like she has to show it to her kids too. Admittedly, the way they arrange the plates looks beautiful.
"Can I ask you something?" Sarah asked suddenly after the silence between the two of them.
To be honest, when she saw Steve's wife turned out to be Anna, Sarah was completely shocked.
She had no idea that Steve would marry the woman Michael was engaged to.
Was the engagement annulled by Michael? But seems like not, Sarah was sure Mrs. Collins wouldn't let that happen.
In that case, was it Anna who canceled it? But why? Was it because of her?
Sarah moistened her lips which suddenly felt dry. She could feel her heart beating fast.
"Did you call off your engagement to Michael because of me?" Sarah asked then immediately held her breath to wait for Anna's answer.
