Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Steve snorted at that. "You asked that but you sat down right away?" he quipped and sat back down.

Sarah just chuckled at that.

"You will come to my wedding, right?" Sarah asked suddenly, sounding relaxed.

Steve nodded. Two days ago he had accepted Sarah's wedding invitation.

"Of course I will come. My wife keeps terrorizing me to clear my schedule on Sunday," Steve confided.

After seeing when the wedding will take place. Anna always reminded him constantly not to come to the hospital that day, and reschedule if he had a patient to be operated on that day.

The woman kept nagging at him until Steve got a little annoyed that his wife always brought it up.

"By the way, why are you doing it during the day? It's Sunday at one pm, right?" Steve asked, confused.

"So I can be with my husband later in the evening," Sarah replied with a smile on her face.

Steve was his closest friend, so she had no problem bringing this up.

Steve's mouth opened when he heard that. He was completely shocked. Was the woman in front of him even the Sarah he knew? The woman seemed different because she didn't act like she usually did.

Sarah's laughter immediately filled the room when she saw Steve who was speechless.

"You're playing a prank on me, right? Ah… you really got me!" said Steve, shaking his head. Sarah really got him

"So you want to see me to confirm that I will come?" asked Steve again who returned to the original topic. "Isn't it too soon to confirm it?" he continued.

Today is Monday, and the wedding will take place on Sunday. If Sarah wanted to confirm his presence, wouldn't this be too soon? She could do it on Friday, or at least Thursday.

"No, not because of that," Sarah replied then licked her own lips. Suddenly, she felt a little nervous.

"What is it?" Steve asked, raising his eyebrows, confused by Sarah's attitude.

Sarah took a deep breath to calm her beating heart.

"I need favor," Sarah answered with a serious face.

"Okay," said Steve, who immediately changed his sitting position to be serious. "What's wrong? Why do you look so serious? Haha. It's not like you. Don't tell me you want to borrow money?" he continued with a smile, trying to joke.

Well… some of his old friends came to see him and looked serious. It turned out that they wanted to borrow money from him.

Steve knew that Sarah couldn't have done that. That's why he joked.

Although some people might go out and borrow money to do their wedding, he's talking about  Sarah.

The woman had a decent income, and her husband-to-be was a man with a well-known company and have a lot of money.

However, Sarah looked serious and didn't join in the laughs even though Steve tried to lighten the situation.

The smile immediately disappeared from Steve's face when he saw that Sarah's expression remained serious.

"You really need money? Seriously? What kind of wedding are you gonna do so you run out of money? Has Michael gone bankrupt?" Steve said with his mouth open in surprise.

Sarah rolled her eyes when she heard what Steve said. Even though he's a man with one kid, the man is still the same. Always overthinking.

"It's not like that! I don't want to borrow money from you! And Michael isn't broke at all!" Sarah said firmly before Steve started gossiping about it.

"Oh! Thank goodness!" said Steve with a sigh of relief.

He wasn't relieved that Sarah wouldn't borrow money from him, but more relieved that their finances were okay.

"Then what kind of favor do you want to ask with a face that looks serious like that?" Steve asked, confused. He had absolutely no idea what Sarah wanted to ask for favor.

Sarah took another breath, it seemed there was nothing wrong if she said it directly to Steve. After all, he is Steve.

"I want you to walk with me down the aisle later," Sarah said, looking at Steve with an awkward smile.

"What?!" Steve opened his mouth in disbelief. "You want me to do what?" Steve asked again, thinking he had misheard what Sarah had just said.

"Walk with me down the aisle later," Sarah said again slowly.

To be honest, Sarah had thought about this hard. Who will walk with her down the aisle later?

In her first marriage, she did it alone. She didn't have a Father, or any other family she could ask to do that.

However, for this wedding, Sarah wanted to do it a little differently. She wanted to walk together with someone.

To be honest, the first candidate that Sarah thought of was Teresa, the woman who had raised her like a mother.

However, she immediately pushed that thought away. Even though Teresa could give her away to Michael later, Sarah wanted Teresa's role as a mother, like any other mother when she was going to attend her daughter's wedding.

So, Sarah tried to find someone else who could accompany her to walk down the aisle.

At a normal wedding, if the bride doesn't have a father, her brothers can do that for her. However, Sarah also had no brothers. She didn't even know if she actually had one.

Suddenly, Steve's figure appeared in her mind when her brain was thinking about brother.

Even though they weren't blood related, isn't Steve like a brother? The man helped her a lot when she was having a hard time, like a brother.

"You're serious? Do you want me to walk you down the aisle later?" asked Steve once again who still couldn't believe that he had heard that correctly.

"If it's okay with you," Sarah answered quietly with an awkward smile.

At this time, Sarah was really nervous. She didn't know if Steve wanted to do it or not. She would really feel awkward if Steve would turn her down.

"Of course! I would be very honored to do so," Steve replied with tears in his eyes then immediately stood up and walked over to Sarah with open arms, to hug her.

Currently various kinds of emotions are felt by Steve. Even though they had history in the past, Steve was really sincere with the woman.

Maybe in the past his feelings for her was love, but now his feelings for women are platonic, he loves her, but there is no romantic or sexual desire.

Steve had no idea that Sarah also had the same feelings for him. Ah, no, that woman even considered him like a brother.

Sarah just smiled and returned Steve's hug.

"I guess after this we can't be in-law, huh? Ah! No. Should we be in-law so we can be family? However, My Sienna seems too good for the twins," said Steve jokingly.

Sarah smacked his arm lightly when she heard that.

"You have to be careful, my two sons are very handsome. Sienna might be heartbroken later," Sarah replied with a smile on her face.

"Hah! My Sienna is also very beautiful. Your two sons will fight over for her," Steve replied childishly.

Suddenly, the two doctors then started laughing as they realized that the two of them were like kids right now.

"Then I'll be going home first, Steve. Thank you!" said Sarah sincerely.

"You're welcome. Come on, let's go to the front together, I'm going home too," said Steve, who was going to go home before Sarah stopped by his room.

The two doctors then finally left the room and went downstairs to go to the exit.

Once outside, Michael and the kids were waiting for Sarah as usual.

Michael was a little surprised when he saw the blonde doctor come down with Sarah. Why did the two of them come down together? Was this why Sarah was a little late?

Okay, he knows that between the two of them there is no relationship at all. However, he couldn't help but get jealous seeing that.

Steve greeted Michael with a nod of the head, then greeted the twins before finally going to his car which was parked in the hospital parking lot.

"I haven't seen Steve before when I picked you up," Michael said suddenly as they were walking towards their apartment.

"I went to see him," Sarah said casually.

"You met him?" asked Michael who could not hide his surprise. "What for?" he continued.

Sarah turned to Michael when she heard his tone seemed different.

"You're jealous? Haha," Sarah asked with a laugh.

"Jealous? What?! Why am I jealous! Seriously!" Michael said then snorted.

Sarah chuckled at Michael's behavior while shaking her head.

She never thought that Michael would still be jealous of Steve.

"You don't need to be jealous, old man! I asked him for a favor." Sarah then explained why she went to meet Steve and the reason why she chose Steve.

At first, Michael was surprised to hear that, but he just nodded his head. Apparently, the blonde doctor used to help Sarah so much that Sarah thought that way about him.

Although a little hard for him, Michael will try not to be too jealous of the blonde doctor.

Finally, Sunday is here...
