Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"You really are stupid! Argh! Well then, if you don't know about it, will you accept me when I ask you to start over at the orphanage?"

Michael's chest rose and fell as he finished saying that. His eyes never left Sarah, waiting for her lips to open and answer his question.

Six years ago, after he came home from the orphanage like a loser, Michael thought back to why Sarah didn't want to start again and found it odd when Sarah turned him down just because she had a boyfriend. He had seen her three days after that incident, and it seemed odd that Sarah had already found a boyfriend.

It also seemed odd if they were still dating when Sarah pretended to be his wife. He met Steve back then, and there couldn't be any normal man to allow his girlfriend to pretend to still be her ex-husband's wife.

That was the reason why Michael was looking for Sarah again at the orphanage, his hunch was that Sarah was just making excuses and he was sure they could start over again. However, he never found that answer.

Now, it all seems to make sense. The reason Sarah didn't accept him was because she thought he was engaged to Anna. Michael was sure that was the reason, and he wanted to hear it from Sarah.

Sarah bit her lower lip when she heard the question. She then suddenly stood up and went to the kitchen, to get a drink for her. Right now she needed some water to calm her rapidly beating heart.

However, as she walked past Michael, she could feel a hand gripping her wrist, trying to keep her from going anywhere.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Sarah said, trying to pull her hand away. However, Michael held her tighter.

"Not until you answer me!" said Michael in frustration. "Please, answer my question, Sarah. If you didn't think I was engaged to Anna, would you have given us a chance six years ago?" asked Michael repeating his question in a voice that now sounded pleading.

"Does it matter?" Sarah asked in a trembling voice.

She knew the answer to that question very well. What Michael thought was true and she honestly regretted it.

However, does it matter to tell Michael that? She made a stupid decision, and she has lived up to the mistake of struggling alone for six years raising her two sons.

They should no longer talk about what happened in the past because it will only make them regret and hurt themselves.

It's happened, don't regret it anymore and move on.

Michael's mouth opened in disbelief when he heard Sarah's words.

"Yes! Sarah! It fucking matter to me!" said Michael, raising his voice. His facial expression was frustrated. "Just answer the damn question, Sarah!" he shouted angrily.

The emotion that he had been trying to suppress for so long just came out when he saw Sarah who was trying to avoid him. Perhaps to the woman, the question was unimportant. However, it was very important to him.

Michael wanted to know if when Sarah pretended to be his wife, she was doing it sincerely. If she  felt the same way as him.

If she loves him too!

"Yes, Michael! I would have accepted you again if I didn't know that you weren't engaged to Anna!" Sarah shouted, her chest rising and falling.

"Now what else do you want to ask?! Do you want to ask if I regret it? If so, the answer is yes! I regret it! Are you…"

Sarah wanted to ask if Michael was happy to hear the answer. However, before the question could come out, her mouth was suddenly covered by something she had not touched for a long time.

Those were Michael's lips.

Michael felt a sense of relief when he heard Sarah's answer. Even though Sarah didn't say it, didn't that mean that six years ago, that woman also had the same feelings for him?

The anger and irritation felt by Michael immediately turned into glad, and prompted him to immediately kiss the woman.

To tell his feelings to his ex-wife. That he loves her, whether it was nine years ago, six years ago, or now. He loves her.

Sarah's eyes widened when she felt a deep kiss from Michael. One his hand held her back, while the other held her neck. It was as if he didn't want to let her go.

Sarah's hands rose in the air awkwardly. Do not know what to do. Both hands were getting signals from her brain to push Michael and break the kiss. However, her heart told them to return Michael's hug. Making the two poor hands not know where to follow orders from.

In the end, both hands moved up and held Michael's head, while the other hand held Michael's cheek.

She can feel it! The feeling that Michael wanted to say! He still loves her, and seems like she does too.

Unknowingly, tears welled up in Sarah's eyes. She was really stupid, she regretted it, she missed this man who was kissing her deeply.

Not long after, the kiss finally broke before their breath ran out.

Sarah averted her eyes when she saw Michael smiling and looking at her gently. She felt awkward.

"Sarah," Michael called, touching Sarah's cheek to turn to her.

"I love you," Michael said with a clear and gentle gaze.

Sarah bit her lower lip when she heard that. After finding out that she was wrong, what Michael did last Saturday, and the kiss earlier. Sarah knew her feelings for him

Her heart was beating like crazy. She knew that she still had feelings for him.

However, Sarah did not dare to answer that statement. She and Michael could no longer be together. She wasn't ready to take the risk.

Michael's expression immediately changed when he saw Sarah didn't answer him, and looked away again. Had he misunderstood the situation?

"Hey? What is it?" Michael asked softly then touched Sarah's cheek again. One hand immediately grabbed Sarah's hand and held it.

"Why do you look doubtful? You can tell me, Sarah," Michael said softly and caressed her cheek.

"Tell me. We have to talk about it so that something like this doesn't happen again," Michael said, still trying to persuade him because Sarah was silent.

"Though I'm not the right person to say this since I also did the same. I even thought you were stupid, but it looks like we're both stupid," Michael said with a chuckle.

He still remembers he also did the same thing. He once thought Sarah was cheating on him just because he saw Sarah with a doctor named Alex, without confirming it to Sarah.

Now, Sarah thought he was engaged without Sarah confirming it to him.

They may both be good at their respective jobs, but it seems they are too stupid when it comes to romance.
