Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband (FREE)

You Don't Need To Apologize

"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry for taking off our wedding photos," said Michael who accepted Sarah's explanation.

Sarah breathed a sigh of relief when Michael accepted her excuse which seemed to sound plausible. Sarah then looked at Michael and her expression immediately changed when she saw Michael's expression which looked… sad?

No, it's not sad, more like disappointed, no, it's not like that either. This was the first time Sarah had seen Michael's expression like that. She didn't expect Michael to show such an expression.

"What's the matter, Michael?" asked Sarah subconsciously holding Michael's arm.

"Do… Do you remember anything? Let's sit first," said Sarah then immediately pulled Michael to sit back on the sofa.

Sarah's face now looked worried, she was indeed happy that Michael's memory might have returned, but on the one hand, she had not thought about what she should do when Michael remembered everything.

What should she tell Michael?

How should she explain this situation?

"That…" Michael said, hanging on to his words, his current expression hard to describe.

"That…?" Sarah said, repeating Michael's words.

"I can't remember it. I'm sorry, Sarah," Michael said then turned to Sarah. The expression on his face looked guilty.

Not only did he take off their wedding photo, but he also couldn't remember where he put the wedding photo. Michael was feeling really bad right now.

Sarah looked surprised again. Did Michael just apologize? Michael had indeed apologized to her when they were still dating, but after marriage, Sarah never remembered Michael apologizing to her.

This felt really weird, and Sarah didn't know how to respond to that.

"Sarah?" called Michael when Sarah was silent. Looks like Sarah is really mad that he stupidly taking off their wedding photo.

"It's okay, Michael. You don't need to apologize," Sarah replied, trying to put on a smile.

Michael doesn't need to apologize? That bastard doesn't need to apologize?

There was so much Michael had to apologize to her for, but he didn't need to apologize for taking off their wedding photo because in the first place, she and Michael were over!

"You are currently sick. You don't have to force yourself to remember it. It's just a wedding photo," Sarah said, trying to comfort Michael who was still showing guilt.

Yes, it's just a photo, a photo that has no meaning anymore.

Michael who had been trying so hard to remember where he put the photo finally nodded, thankfully Sarah seemed to understand the situation and wasn't angry anymore.

"Then I'll go get my clothes first. I can't keep wearing these clothes," said Sarah, who was looking for an excuse to get out of this apartment for a while.

The apartment still looked the same as she remembered it, and… Sarah didn't think it would be so suffocating to be in this place with her ex-husband.

She needed to get some fresh air and get away from her husband.

"Let me…"

"No need! You seem exhausted. I can call a taxi," said Sarah, who immediately rejected the offer.

Actually Sarah can't drive a car, she lives near the hospital and can get to work by walking, so Sarah never had any intention of buying a car and chose to save the money.

"No, I'm fine!" said Michael insistently. He then immediately stood up from his place and walked to get his car keys.

Sarah tried to restrain herself from showing an annoyed expression and cursing at Michael who seemed unable to read the situation that Sarah wanted to be alone.

"Okay then, my apartment is near the hospital," Sarah replied with a smile and then came out with Michael who had walked first.

***

Once in the car, Sarah was lost in her thoughts again. Can she do this? Living with her ex-husband in an apartment that still looks the same as before?

"This is all for Mr. Collins. I will hold on until Mr. Collins performs the operation," thought Sarah, who seemed to have made her decision.

So far there is no definite treatment for amnesiac patients, although this sounds cruel when others hear it, Sarah hopes Michael's memory never returns when she was still pretending to be Michael's wife.

"Wait a minute. Then he'll keep remembering we're still married?" Sarah thought, not wanting Michael at all to keep thinking he was still her husband.

"But… I can just dump him, right? Like he did to me. I didn't kill him, but I can make him feel the pain I felt at that time," thought Sarah, suddenly excited.

She would make Michael love her more and then dump him. Even though it wasn't worth what Michael did to her, it was enough to lessen Sarah's annoyance at him.

Sarah's mood became a little better, she then decided to look at the scenery outside the window, but Sarah's forehead immediately wrinkled

"Michael? Where are we going? Looks like this is not the way to the hospital," Sarah said, turning to Michael.

"We don't have to go to your place," Michael said, turning to Sarah with a smile.

Since arriving in the car, Sarah has been silent and seems to be thinking about something. Maybe Sarah is annoyed with the wedding photo, but she didn't say it and understood Michael was sick.

Hence, Michael decided to do something.

"Then where are we going?" asked Sarah who was surprised and starting to look a little panicked.

Michael didn't drive her to her house, then where would this amnesiac patient take her?!

After Sarah thought about it again, she didn't do further checks on Michael. She knew Michael seemed to be able to go about with his daily activities, and recalled that he was still married to Sarah.

Michael didn't answer and just smiled mysteriously, making Sarah even more panicked!

"Quick tell me where we're going or stop the car and drop me off!" Sarah said firmly after looking around her which was quite safe.

"Calm down. You definitely..."

"Michael! I'm serious!" said Sarah again firmly.

Michael looked at Sarah in disbelief before finally letting out a sigh.

"We're going shopping," Michael said, finally telling him where he was taking Sarah.

"Though I wanted to give you a surprise," Michael muttered under his breath, pursing his lips.

Seeing Sarah who seems to be in a bad mood and previously looking exhausted from her heavy work, Michael wants to make Sarah's mood better and shopping is the way to make women happy, right?
