Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"James!"

James, who was walking towards his car that had started, immediately turned around when he heard a woman's voice calling his name.

From afar he could see Sarah running towards him, which made James stop and stare at Sarah with furrowed brows.

What happened?

James wanted to ask the question right away, but he decided to swallow the question, waiting for Sarah to catch her breath in a half bent position holding her knees.

"I want to talk," Sarah said, then stood back up and looked at James seriously.

James' face still looked confused, but he immediately nodded his head.

"Do you want to go inside?" said James as he pointed to his car. Sarah had a very serious look on her face, so James could tell that the conversation was going to be a long one. It seems that talking while sitting will become more comfortable.

However, Sarah shook her head then smiled politely. She felt uncomfortable having to sit in the car with James alone.

James nodded in understanding when he heard that, and just stared at Sarah without saying anything.

There was a sudden silence, Sarah bit her lower lip, unsure of where to start to explain it to James.

"You know… Michael has amnesia, right?" Sarah asked quietly after a while.

James nodded again.

"Yeah, I just found out last week. But I don't know the full story," James replied, still expressionless.

"Actually..."

Sarah then began to tell how she met Michael, when the man suddenly became a patient in her operating bed, then had amnesia and thought that she was still his wife and how Michael's parents asked her to pretend she was still his wife to care for him

However, Sarah did not explain why she would accept the request, as it would mean that she would have to tell him about Mr. Collins.

James' face was still expressionless when he heard the story, it made Sarah feel insecure, did she sound like she was lying?

"So… I hope you won't tell Michael that we're actually divorced," said Sarah ending her long explanation.

"I understand."

"Eh?" Sarah was a little surprised to hear that. She didn't expect that James would immediately obey her without saying anything.

"Alright! Thanks for understanding!" Sarah replied with a relieved smile. She initially thought she should argue with James a bit because she thought the man would lecture her and say that what she was doing wasn't right.

However, everything go smoothly?

"To be honest…" Sarah looked at James when she heard the man finally open his voice.

"I'm quite relieved to see you with Michael. This is the first time I've seen Michael smile and look cheerful again," James continued suddenly.

Sarah furrowed her brows when she heard that.

"What do you mean?" Sarah asked confusedly.

James kept his mouth shut, he seemed to have let out something and said something he shouldn't have said.

"What do you mean? Tell me!" Sarah said, looking at James sharply.

James seemed to be deep in thought. Should he tell this or not. He finally sighed when he saw Sarah's expression.

He knew if he said that it would mean he would betray Michael, but he thinks Sarah should know about this.

"After you divorced... Michael started to change, became more quiet and spent every night drinking at the bar. It seems he can't accept the divorce," James said, then explained several times he had to take Michael home because he was unconscious at the bar.

Sarah's brow furrowed at this. Her heart was happy because Michael also experienced difficulties after the divorce. But Michael can't accept their divorce?

That doesn't make any sense at all!

"Michael was also trying to find you at the hospital. You used to work at Central Hospital, right?"

Sarah nodded her head slowly.

"We were trying to find you. At that time our resources were very limited, so we couldn't find you. I don't know if he kept looking for you after becoming the leader of Collins, but back then… Michael was looking for you."

Sarah fell silent hearing this. She… didn't know anything about it.

Michael looking for her? Why?

"Well ... basically after the divorce, Michael became more quiet and rarely smiled. This is the first time I've seen Michael smiling like this. Now I understand why he looks cheerful at the office," said James, stopping his story. It seemed he had spoken too much.

Sarah was still motionless. She had a hard time believing what she had just heard, but there was no reason for James to lie to her.

"So you've always been by Michael's side?" asked Sarah curiously.

Suddenly there was something she wanted to ask James.

James nodded.

"I've always been with him since we were at MCGames."

"Then… (do you know about Elizabeth?)"

Sarah suddenly wanted to ask James about it.

If that man had always been with Michael, wouldn't he have known Elizabeth?

Men always introduce their women, right?

However, Sarah swallowed the question. She didn't dare ask.

What if she had been misunderstood all this time? If Michael is suffering from their divorce, does that mean he didn't date Elizabeth after they divorced?

Sarah shook her head. No! They did something at the hotel, and it was obvious what they were doing!

Even so, Sarah didn't dare ask James about it.

While James was still waiting for a question from Sarah.

"Then?" He ended up repeating Sarah's words out of impatience.

"Do you know where our wedding photos are?" asked Sarah suddenly.

She didn't know why she e suddenly brought it up instead saying never mind

"The photo hanging in your house?" James asked to be sure.

***

Sarah's face looks blank. Her body walked as if her soul had left her body. She finally decided to take a seat in the waiting room before getting into the elevator. Her legs were not strong enough to walk anymore.

"Michael regrets our divorce?" Sarah thought in disbelief. Her head hung low and her hands gripped her hair in frustration.

Not only did that make it hard for Sarah to believe it, but James' last words made her unable to believe it.

"Michael moved your wedding photos to his house by the beach. He said something like a dream house? I don't really know what he meant either because he never lived in that house."

Hearing this, Sarah's feelings became more and more mixed, she could immediately understand when she heard the words beach and dream house. It was her dream house.

However, Michael has a house near the beach? She didn't know anything about it.

It also seemed impossible for Michael to buy a house near the beach after they divorced.

Does that mean, after learning about her dream house, Michael goes to buy it?

He bought a house even though his salary was meager and he didn't get financial support from his family?

Sarah felt even worse when she thought about that possibility.

Did she really just misunderstand?
