Seeing Sarah who was just silent, Michael finally got up from his seat and squatted in front of Sarah while holding her hand.
"Come with me, please? Mr. Lamont has been Collins' business partner for a long time. I would feel bad if I didn't come to his daughter's wedding. Moreover, dad is still on vacation and mom definitely doesn't want to come alone. I don't want to come alone either," Michael said softly, squeezing Sarah's hand a little, his expression full of hope.
He didn't know why he and Sarah had never been seen together before, but today Michael was going to make it happen.
Sarah was silent for a moment, looking at Michael who was squatting in front of her and looking at him with the look of a puppy wanting to be adopted.
Sarah sighed.
"I don't want to go, babe," Sarah said gently, turning her face away from Michael.
If she kept looking at the man's handsome face, Sarah knew that she would falter a little.
"Come on," Michael said sulkily and started shaking his shoulders, making Sarah, who saw this, roll her eyes.
What had she just seen?
"What are you doing? Stop it!" said Sarah with a look of disbelief.
The man in his thirties was acting like a sulking child.
"Eingg~~" said Michael again, doing what he was doing. A blush was evident on his cheeks because he didn't expect himself to do such a shameful thing.
But it doesn't matter. He would do anything as long as Sarah was gonna go with him.
Sarah's expression was horrified, not expecting Michael to act like that just to persuade her to come with him.
Michael finally stopped what he was doing when he saw Sarah's expression which looked at him with disapproval. Seems like acting like that won't persuade his wife.
He had to change his plans. But what should he do?
"Come on, come with me. I don't want to go there alone," Michael said, starting to sound desperate. He didn't know how to persuade Sarah.
"You said you didn't have to be on duty tonight. Come with me, okay? If you're tired, after coming home from there I will massage you, we also don't have to linger there if you don't want to linger there," continued Michael, looking at Sarah with pleading eyes.
This time it looked more sincere than before.
Sarah sighed, she didn't know why Michael was so desperate to persuade her but Sarah couldn't come with Michael at such an event.
She is no longer his wife.
"Wifey, come on! Please?" said Michael squeezing Sarah's hand once more.
"You know I never remember anything about us going to events like that. At least, just do this once so I know what it's like to come to such an event with my wife, okay?"
Sarah fell silent hearing this. As Michael said, she also didn't know what it was like to go to an event with Michael.
Ah, Michael once came to her graduation after graduating as a medical student.
But… Can it count?
Unknowingly, Sarah also secretly wanted to come with Michael at an event like that.
They had been married, although it was only for two years before finally getting divorced, but they never went to events together because both of them were very busy and rarely saw each other.
She had come with Steve to an event, wouldn't it be a little unfair if she never did that with Michael?
Even if it was only once, Sarah also wanted to have memories like that with Michael.
Sarah sighed. She wanted to come, but she didn't want people to know that she was Michael's wife.
Wait a minute! If that's the case, can't that be done?
"Alright, I'll come with you!" said Sarah finally, making Michael immediately smile broadly when he saw it.
However, the next second the smile on Michael's face disappeared.
"But there is a condition."

In one of the rooms in the Royal Hotel, there were four women wearing pastel colored dresses fixing up their make-up because the wedding celebrations were about to start.
Apart from the four women, there was one of them wearing a white dress who was sitting on the sofa in the room, a happy face clearly visible on her beautiful face.
"Ohh… look at our bride. Are you starting to think about how your first night will be?" teased one of the women when she saw the bride's face.
The woman blushed slightly, not expecting her friend to tease like that.
"Stop it, Jane. I don't think like that!" said the woman, smiling shyly.
Jane laughed a little, then walked over to her friend holding a mirror in her hand and sat beside her.
"I still can't believe you have chosen to marry. You must be happy!" said Jane sincerely.
"That's why you should start dating someone!" said one of the women who was there.
"Mary! Shut up! You should have introduced me to a man! Isn't your boyfriend a businessman?"
"I won't introduce any more men to you! You are too picky!" said Mary, who had previously introduced someone to Jane, but Jane immediately turned it down and said that man did not meet her standard.
There was nothing wrong with the man Mary introduced, he was young, and also rich, but his face was not very handsome, but still pleasing to look at.
"He's not my type!" Jane answered while fixing her makeup.
"Then what's your type? Maybe I can help introduce someone to you. Between us, it seems that you are the one who doesn't have a boyfriend yet," said the bride curiously.
Two other women who were there also seemed curious about their friend's answer.
"Michael Collins?" said Jane with a big smile on her face.
Mary, who already knew that, was no longer surprised, unlike the others there.
"You are really crazy! Now you're trying to target Anna's ex-boyfriend?" asked one of them.
"Well… they broke up. So I have a chance! It's not like I'm interfering with their relationship," said Jane bluntly and not embarrassed at all.
Everyone was silent when they heard that.
"Oh right, Dinda. You really didn't invite Anna to be your bridesmaid? I thought you two were pretty close," Jane asked, turning to the bride beside her.
The question from Jane made the others immediately turn to Dinda. They were also a little curious. As far as they know, Anna and Dinda are very close, they have been friends for a long time because of their close family.
So when they saw that Anna was not Dinda's bridesmaid, it made the others curious, but didn't dare to ask her directly.
"She has work today, but she promised to come tonight!" replied Dinda with a faint smile.
Actually, Anna doesn't have a job at all, and Dinda knows about it. Anna had contacted her before and apologized that she couldn't be Dinda's bridesmaid because the reporter would want to interview her and it would ruin Dinda's event.
Dinda is a supermodel, her husband is a businessman, it is certain that there are media friends who came to cover their wedding because they had invited the media.
Dinda immediately understood what her friend said and left Anna alone, but she slightly begged Anna to come to the night celebration because at that time there were fewer reporters.
At that time, Anna didn't answer anything and just smiled. Dinda did not know what her reaction meant, but Dinda hoped that Anna would come.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the bedroom door, causing one of the women near the door to immediately open it and a little stunned when she saw a blonde haired man in a suit standing in front of the door with an expression on his face wanting to surprise someone.
"Uh... isn't this Dinda's room?" asked the man looking a little embarrassed and smiling awkwardly.
According to the information he got, Dinda was in this room and he was trying to startle the woman when the door was opened. He didn't expect that someone else would open the door.
The woman who had been a little stunned by the appearance of the man, immediately regained her senses and immediately turned her head back, calling for her friend.
"Dinda! A man came to see you!"
Dinda, who was sitting talking to Jane, immediately turned around when her friend called her. From her seat, she could not see in the direction of the entrance, so Dinda immediately stood up and pulled her dress to see who had come looking for her.
Dinda's eyes immediately widened when she saw the man, her one hand immediately went up to cover her mouth.
"Steve? You come!" said Dinda and immediately walked quickly to the man.
The blonde haired man smiled widely then immediately opened his arms wide to embrace the woman. Dinda immediately opened her arms and hugged the man.
"I didn't expect you to come! You said you couldn't come!" said Dinda after releasing the hug and lightly hitting Steve's chest.
Steve chuckled.
"This is your wedding! Of course I will come! By the way, you look beautiful!" Steve replied with a smile.
Meanwhile, the woman who had opened the door, looked at Dinda and the blonde man with a curious look.
Who exactly is this handsome man?
