Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Michael and Sarah continued to chat, recalling memories of the two of them when they were still dating, how their first date was, and the dates that followed.

That afternoon, Sarah's face looked cheerful, and laughed a lot, even after their food came, the two of them were still chatting happily.

Inwardly Michael smiled seeing Sarah who was no longer sad, it seemed that his decision to ask Sarah on a date this Saturday was a good decision.

While Sarah was enjoying this very much, she could reminisce and recall memories she thought she had forgotten.

Well… after they got married, she and Michael became very busy and seemed to have no time to reminisce about the two of them.

Even Sarah forgot that Michael who was sitting in front of her was still the same Michael she was dating at that time.

It seems that after they got married, she and Michael have changed a lot.

Maybe it was their true selves, or was something else causing the two of them to change?

Sarah didn't know what it was, but one thing was for sure.

"That's a very sweet memory," thought Sarah, smiling subconsciously as she sipped her drink through a straw.

"What's wrong? Did you think of something?" Michael asked noticing Sarah's sudden smile.

"No, it's nothing. I'm just happy to be out like this. Thank you," Sarah said looking at Michael sincerely.

She knew that Michael was trying to cheer her up after what happened last night, and at first Sarah seemed to want to shut herself up.

She didn't need it, and she could handle it on her own, as she had once done.

However, Sarah never thought that Michael taking her to the cinema which was quite historic for them, then proceeding to a cafe that has memories of the two of them, would make her really enjoy this.

"Anytime. I'm glad you like it," said Michael, smiling as he saw his wife getting better.

"Oh right, wifey, do you remember that cake shop?" Michael asked suddenly.

His plan was to date today until the evening, or at least until the sun went down, the last place Michael could think of was the London Eye, where he had proposed to Sarah.

However, before that, Michael was a little confused about where they should spend their time. Especially now that it's still four. They still have plenty of time to spend.

"Cake shop?" Sarah asked, raising an eyebrow. Her facial expression was confused.

As far as she remembers, she had never gone with Michael to the cake shop.

"Ahh!! Do you mean the cake shop you visited on our anniversary?" Sarah asked as a memory flashed through her mind.

When they finally had a year of dating, Michael suddenly surprised her with a cake.

As far as Sarah knows, Michael doesn't really like cakes, but seeing Michael buy a cake for their anniversary made Sarah quite touched at that time.

Well… at that time Sarah really loved Michael, whatever the man did make she always touched.

"No. Not that shop," Michael said shaking his head.

"You don't remember? That time you were waiting for me at the cake shop. Eh… wait a minute," Michael said, stopping to explain then looking serious, trying to remember the hazy memories.

Looks like it wasn't when they weren't married.

"Are you alright?" Sarah asked worriedly. Michael looked like he was trying to recall his memories.

"Don't push yourself," she continued.

"I'm fine," Michael replied with a reassuring smile.

"By the way, do you remember that cake shop? Looks like we visited it after we got married," Michael said again discussing what he had remembered.

It seemed like going to that cake shop to get their dessert over tea was the right choice to pass their time.

"Eh?"

Sarah's facial expression looked surprised at the question.

"You forgot? At that time you were waiting for me at the cake shop, but I had a lot of work and I was a little late. You were very angry at that time," Michael explained when he saw Sarah's expression which showed that she did not remember what Michael was talking about.

"Ah… that…!" Sarah said nodding her head.

Michael smiled at his wife who finally remembered it.

"Because you were annoyed, I even bought you a strawberry cake and finally fed you. You finally smiled, and fed me the cake back," said Michael, still explaining with a smile.

Sarah took her drink back from the table and opened her lips to let the straw in when she heard that.

Her throat suddenly felt dry.

She and Michael never visited the cake shop!

After marriage, the two were very busy and rarely went on dates. So Sarah was pretty sure they had never been to a cake shop, much less to the point to feed each other at the cake shop!

In that case, it meant that the woman who went with Michael wasn't her.

"Is that her? Or Michael's previous girlfriend?" Sarah thought subconsciously feeling uncomfortable, there was something in her chest that felt strange at this moment.

"No! Michael said he was late because he had so much work to do. Then it must be her," Sarah thought to herself.

She dated Michael for two years before Michael proposed to her, and before that, Michael was still in college.

She was the first woman Michael was with when he finally works, and if she wasn't the woman Michael was referring to, it meant she was the woman after her, not before.

"How is it? Do you want to visit the cake shop? We can have tea. I think they sell tea," asked Michael who kept talking and didn't notice the change in Sarah's face because Sarah continued to drink her drink with a straw.

Sarah put her glass back on the table and looked at Michael.

"I'm still full, maybe next time," Sarah replied, smiling apologetically.

Sarah was trying to look okay, even though she was feeling really bad right now.

If she had some kind of meter to measure her happiness, then the bar was almost full.

But suddenly with one question from Michael, with the cake shop, the bar went downhill drastically.

"Oh, I see," said Michael a little surprised. Didn't expect Sarah to refuse his invitation to visit the cake shop.

According to him, he and Sarah have pretty good memories in there. He could remember how he and Sarah smiled there even though it was a little awkward at first because Sarah was mad at him.

Well… it was a little blurry, so Michael didn't know where the cake shop was.

"Then how about we..."

"Let's just go home," said Sarah suddenly.

Her mood had already deteriorated by now to continue their date.

Right now all she could think about was that Michael was actually dating that woman. Maybe they broke up by now because Michael wasn't married to her.

But still, Sarah was feeling very upset right now.

That woman… was the reason she and Michael had to get a divorce!
