Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Meanwhile… (I know you guys will scold me for this, go ahead xD)

A black Mercedes Benz is seen driving down a London street which looks completely active even though it's already late at night.

The driver who was driving the car occasionally glanced at his side, the woman wearing a red dress was turning her back on him and looking out the window, making the man sighed.

It wasn't the first time they'd just been quiet while he was driving, but the silence made him really awkward. Why did they have to see that woman at the wedding and spoil the mood?

Michael opened his mouth, trying to ask or say something to quickly break the silence, but… he didn't know what to say. His mouth seemed to be unable to utter a single word at this time and only sighed that he could let out.

Meanwhile, Sarah continued to think about what had just happened, Steve's expression looking at her then finally standing up and leaving the place really bothers Sarah's mind.

She felt guilty towards the man, as if she had just been caught cheating on him with another man.

Even though her relationship with Steve was not like that, Steve did ask her to be his girlfriend, but she refused because of her current circumstances.

She was the one who rejected him, but why was she the one who feels bad right now?

Sarah sighed, now she really didn't know her feelings anymore.

The silence in the car continued until the couple finally returned to their apartment.

"I'm going to bed first," Sarah said as soon as they entered their apartment and immediately went upstairs without waiting for Michael's response.

"Oh... yes," Michael replied awkwardly then sighed as he watched his wife's back slowly drift away.

Michael then headed to the kitchen and opened the fridge, looking for some cold water, hoping it would refresh him and clear his head.

"I really am trash!" thought Michael who had been sitting at the dining table holding his water bottle in both hands, his face looking down.

If he hadn't been acting stupid and having an affair with that model, tonight they wouldn't be going back to the apartment in this awkward state.

Michael sighed, he didn't know how many times he'd done it tonight. He really didn't know what to do.

Sarah might have said it was okay, but seeing her act like this tonight after meeting the woman made Michael believe that his wife was actually hurt by his actions.

After all, women always say it's okay when they're hurt, right?

Michael sighed again then tugged at his hair in frustration, looks like he needs some alcohol right now to get him through the night, but he remembers that tomorrow he has to go back to work.

After drinking his cold water again, Michael immediately stood up and went upstairs, deciding to go to sleep and forget about tonight.

When he got to the room on the second floor, he saw Sarah had changed the lamp to a night light and was sleeping under the covers. Michael then immediately went to the bathroom to wash his face then changed his clothes and approached Sarah who was sleeping with her back to him.

Michael sighed at the sight, then decided to close his eyes to sleep, hoping the day would pass quickly and they would go back to how they were.

However, no matter how Michael tried to sleep, his heart and mind were currently not ready to sleep. Michael then changed his sleeping position facing Sarah.

"Wifey? Are you sleeping?" called Michael quietly.

"Why?" asked Sarah, who apparently hadn't slept. She couldn't sleep.

Michael was a little surprised to hear Sarah answer his call.

"What should I say? Should I say that I can't sleep? Should I apologize? Should I ask if I can hug her? Michael thought with various questions in his mind. He was at a loss as to what to say right now.

"We still have beer. You want a drink?" Michael asked suddenly.

Michael knew he had work tomorrow and so did Sarah so they shouldn't drink if they didn't want to get a hangover the next day. That's why they didn't drink alcohol at the party earlier.

However, Michael doesn't seem to be able to sleep if he doesn't drink alcohol this time, and beer seems like the right choice since it won't get them too drunk and get in the way of their work tomorrow.

"Okay," Sarah replied, then immediately removed the blanket and got out of bed. It seems that right now she also needs alcohol to put her to sleep.

Michael was a little surprised when he heard that, his expression looked disbelieving, but he immediately got up and hurried after him when he saw Sarah opening the bedroom door and coming out of the room.

Not long after, the two of them sat at the dining table facing each other with two cans of beer and a bowl of salted peanuts.

Michael then lifted his can, signaling for them to toast, his face immediately smiling when Sarah lifted hers and clinked theirs without him having to say a toast.

"Are you having trouble sleeping? I hear you keep moving," Sarah said then grabbed their snacks and started eating them.

Michael was a little taken aback, not realizing that Sarah would be the first to break their silence.

"Yeah, I suddenly couldn't sleep," Michael said, then took the can and drank it.

For some reason, he couldn't tell Sarah that he knew how she was feeling right now and felt guilty about it.

Sarah just nodded at Michael's answer, and didn't ask any more questions, sipping her beer and then occasionally eating peanuts.

"How about you? Are you also having trouble sleeping?" Michael asked, eating peanuts, trying to look casual.

Sarah didn't answer right away, she lifted her can and drank her beer.

"Yeah, looks like it's still too early for me to sleep. Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to leave the party, I think it's too late and I'm afraid tomorrow I'll be late," Sarah said with an apologetic smile.

"Why do you have to apologize? Stop looking so fine!" Michael wanted so badly to say that to his wife, but the words couldn't leave his lips.

"It doesn't matter. They shouldn't have parties on weekdays," Michael said with a smile.

Sarah's lips formed a small smile when she heard that.

"By the way, your dancing skills are getting better, we should dance more often," Michael said suddenly with a smile, feeling the atmosphere between him and Sarah had gotten a little better.

Sarah just smiled hearing that then went back to drinking her beer which was a little left and quickly finished it.

"Do you still want to drink? I think I'm getting sleepy," said Sarah.

Michael immediately took the can and drank it in one gulp.

"Let's go to bed, I'll catch up with you after tidying this up," Michael replied.

Sarah nodded then immediately went upstairs, feeling a little better because of the beer she drank.

"Hopefully everything will be okay tomorrow," Sarah thought.

Anna's eyes widened when she saw a man sleeping beside her shirtless, she then immediately lifted the blanket and was immediately surprised to see that she was also not wearing anything.

What is going on?!
