Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

In the end, Sarah chose to move and sit in the passenger seat. Her eyes stared intently at Michael who didn't want to start his car at all. Judging by his expression, Michael seemed to want her to sit beside him too.

After feeling that everyone had buckled up, Michael immediately started the car he bought to go to the airport.

On the way, both Michael and Sarah had strange feelings inside, and both seemed to be thinking about something.

"This is really weird and awkward," Michael thought, occasionally glancing at the twins in the rear-view mirror.

The woman sitting next to him was his ex-wife, and the twins sitting in the back were the son of his ex-wife with another man.

If he hadn't made a stupid mistake in the past, the woman sitting next to him not gonna be his ex-wife, and the children sitting in the back would be his children.

Meanwhile, Sarah also felt a strange feeling when the four of them were in one car.

There is a father, mother and two children. The difference is, the father and mother are no longer married, and the father and son do not know that they are family.

This is really weird and Sarah feels really bad about it.

"It's okay, Sarah! This is better! You can raise your two children alone, like you have been doing all this time," Sarah thought, trying to strengthen her heart and push the bad feeling away.

After a long journey, the four finally arrived in London.

"Then… see you later, Michael," said Sarah who had brought her suitcase and told Raphael to hold Gabriel's hand.

"I can take you," Michael offered, but Sarah just looked at him and shook her head.

"I'll take a cab. Don't worry, I'll see Mr. Collins soon," Sarah said and then left without waiting for Michael's answer.

Michael just stared at the departure of the three people with a sad expression. Over the past few hours, he hadn't really interacted much with the Twins as Sarah seemed to be trying to keep some distance between them.

However, he always looked at the two boys with a curious look. They are twins, but very different in nature.

Although there is no direct interaction, he is always happy to see the interaction of the two puppies who always talk about random things.

Michael sighed then quickly shook his head, now he should head to his office to get back to work after almost two weeks.

Meanwhile, Sarah, who had stopped her cab, was a little quiet when the driver asked where they were going.

Right, where should she go now? She had no place to live, nor any family here.

"Take me to the orphanage…" Sarah decided to go to the orphanage where she grew up.

Besides that it was the only place she could think of, there were a lot of kids that the Twins could play with.

Sarah took a deep breath, repeatedly doing this to prepare herself, before finally opening the door to one of the VIP rooms in the hospital, Mr Collins' room.

She decided to come alone without Michael, nor with the Twins. It's best if Michael's parents didn't know about them, and Sarah was grateful that the Twins could feel comfortable playing with their new friends so she had some alone time.

Mr. Collins, who was sitting on the bed, immediately turned towards the door when it was knocked and opened by someone. His eyes immediately opened wide when he saw the person who had just entered.

"Sarah?! Is that you?!" asked Mr Collins, narrowing his eyes.

Even though the woman's appearance changed slightly with her body shape not like it used to be but also not too fat, and her face starting to look wrinkled, there was no mistaking it, the woman wearing pastel colored clothes was Sarah, his daughter-in-law.

"You can lie down, Mr. Collins," said Sarah hastily with both hands in front when she saw the man was about to get off.

"I really didn't expect to see you again! I am happy! How are you? You've had lunch?" asked Mr Collins eagerly. A happy smile appeared on his old face.

"I'm glad to see you too, Mr Collins. I'm fine and I've had lunch," Sarah replied with an unconscious smile. She then immediately walked over to the old man while spreading her arms wide, hugging the man who was sitting leaning on the hospital.

Sarah's heart ached when she could feel how thin the man was in her arms.

After the hug, Sarah immediately sat down in the chair beside Mr Collins' bed.

"To be honest… I'm here because of Michael. He asked me to come here," said Sarah suddenly when she saw Mr Collins' happy expression. She should have told the man the truth.

Mr. Collins' smile immediately changed when he heard that.

"I see," he answered curtly. He thought his man had found Sarah and told her to come see him, but he lost by one step.

Sarah nodded her head, then bit her lower lip. Feel hesitant to tell her next words. But, she finally steel herself and held the old man's hand.

"Father, I know you are doing this out of thinking of me. But can you just let me go? Michael and I are divorced, I don't want to have anything to do with him, nor do his family," Sarah begged in a pleading voice.

"Please let me go, father," she continued in a voice that was beginning to tremble.

She knew Mr Collins might have pity on her, or loves her so much that he gave away his fortune to him, but Sarah simply didn't want to be involved with Michael's family anymore.

"I really like you, Sarah. I know you're still not married. Can you at least think about it again?" asked Mr. Collins, looking at the woman gently.

Sarah wiped away the tears that had drifted away and shook her head.

"Our relationship is over, father. Please change your will. If you really want to give me an inheritance, just give it a little, don't be like that," begged Sarah, who was still tearing up.

Mr. Collins shook his head, his expression resolute, and he immediately withdrew his hand that was being held by Sarah.

"My decision is final, Sarah. I will give my inheritance to you. Only you deserve it," said Mr. Collins adamantly then turned his face away.

"Father..." Sarah said quietly. She had no idea that this man would be so stubborn.

"Then I'll come back next time, you better rest," Sarah continued when she saw that the man didn't want to look at her at all.

"Sarah!"

Sarah immediately turned around when she heard the old man calling her name.

"If you really want me to change my inheritance. I will do it on one condition."

"Live with Michael again!"
