Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

The car driven by Michael finally stopped in front of a large house that had three floors.

Sarah looked at the white paint house which had not changed at all since the last time she had seen it. The memory of how she had spent her time in this house instantly flashed through her mind.

It's not a good memory.

"Are you alright?" Michael asked with raised eyebrows. They had arrived but Sarah just sit still staring at his parents' house.

Michael's question brought Sarah back to her senses.

"Yeah, I haven't been here in a long time. Let's go," Sarah said with a faint smile then immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door and got out.

Michael just nodded and followed Sarah.

The two of them then walked towards the door and pressed the bell that was there.

A few moments later the door was opened by an old woman who dressed simple.

She is a housekeeper in this house.

"Michael?" said the old woman in surprise. Michael had lived here a few days ago, but it was only a day before the eldest son of the Collins finally left.

She didn't expect Michael to come back here so soon, because usually he rarely came to his parents' house.

The old woman's gaze then turned to the woman who had come with Michael, her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the woman's face, before her expression immediately changed to surprise.

"Sarah?!" asked the old woman.

"Hello Mrs. Gareth," said Sarah, smiling awkwardly.

"But… why?" she asked, looking at Michael and Sarah with a confused look.

Mrs. Gareth had been with the Collins since Michael was still a kid and the old woman knew about Sarah. The woman Michael brought to the house as his future wife, and the woman who had also divorced Michael.

Although she does not know why Michael and Sarah decided to divorce, she is one of the people who regretted their divorce, because she thought Sarah was the right woman for Michael.

However, what are Michael and Sarah doing here?

"Are dad and mom inside?" asked Michael who immediately entered the house.

"Ah, yes, Mrs. Collins was looking at the flower in the backyard, while Mr. Collins was in his study," Mrs. Gareth explained.

Michael just nodded then immediately went to the second floor to look for his father.

"Sarah!" call Mrs. Gareth, holding Sarah's hand who was about to come inside.

Sarah immediately stopped and looked at Mrs. Gareth with raised eyebrows.

"What happened? Are you… with Michael?" asked Mrs. Gareth, deliberately hanging her words.

Sarah looked awkward when she heard the question, it seemed Mrs. Gareth had no idea what was going on. Sarah finally decided to tell Mrs. Gareth about Michael and what is going on.

Mrs. Gareth had often helped Sarah a few times, so Sarah was actually quite fond of the old woman.

Mrs. Gareth's mouth opened when she heard Sarah's explanation.

"Michael has amnesia and you pretend to be his wife?" asked Mrs. Gareth with a look of disbelief.

Sarah nodded.

"So please don't say anything to confuse Michael," Sarah said quietly.

"Okay. I understand. It's good to see you again, Sarah," answered Mrs. Gareth smiled.

Sarah just smiled when she heard that and then entered the house and headed upstairs to meet Mr. Collins.

Once on the second floor, Sarah did not go straight into Mr. Collins when through the gap in the door he could see Michael and Mr. Collins were discussing something that seemed important.

Sarah finally decided to wait on the sofa which was right in front of Mr. Collins study room until Michael finally finishes talking to his father.

Sarah's gaze then immediately turned to the stairs when she heard footsteps approaching.

"You?!" shouted Mrs. Collins when she saw Sarah sitting on the sofa. She quickly quickened her steps to approach Sarah.

"Hello, mother," said Sarah who stood up from her seat with a faint smile and then immediately sat back down and ignored Mrs. Collins.

"Mother? Who's your mother?" asked Mrs. Collins snorted.

Sarah sighed. It seemed better to just keep quiet and ignore Mrs. Collins.

"W-What?! Did you decide to ignore me?! How dare you do that when an older person is talking! Is that what your parents taught you?!" asked Mrs. Collins was annoyed when she saw that Sarah not only silenced her, but also ignored her, as if she was not beside her.

"Ah! I forgot you are an orphan. No wonder you don't have manners like this, "continued Mrs. Collins, smiling sarcastically.

Sarah clenched her fists tightly when she heard that. That's what Mrs. Collins always told her.

***

When she first came here, Sarah was very nervous. After Michael proposed to her and she decided to marry Michael, Michael came to invite her to meet his parents.

However, not a blessing received by Michael and Sarah, both his parents seem to reject the marriage.

According to them, both of them are still too young to get married. They even thought Sarah was pregnant so the two of them wanted to get married soon.

Michael and Sarah immediately deny it, they want to marry because they love each other and Michael insists that he will marry Sarah no matter what.

Mr. Collins couldn't help but sigh when he heard that because Michael was a pretty stubborn kid and then looked at Sarah intently and asked Sarah's opinion, whether she really wanted to get married or Michael forced her.

Sarah could only shyly nod her head.

"Sarah will soon be a doctor! I want to get married to her right away before a doctor or nurse comes after her!" said Michael seriously.

Sarah couldn't help but smile shyly when she heard that. That was indeed the reason why Michael wanted to marry her, fearing that she would like another man.

A little childish, but Sarah's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

Michael's parents looked surprised when they heard Sarah was a medical student.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be a medical student. Is one of your parents also a doctor? Which hospital do they work in?" asked Mrs. Collins with an interested face.

"Ah, I'm an orphan, my parents died when I was young, so I had to live in an orphanage" replied Sarah confidently, she was never ashamed to tell people about that fact

Mrs. Collins, who happened to look excited, immediately changed when she heard that. She even gave Sarah a disdainful look, before finally changing her expression back.

However, that facial expression did not leave Sarah's eyes.
