Sarah's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly when she heard what Michael had just said. The man thinks that she cheated on him?
"What? Are you losing your mind?!" Sarah snapped angrily. All this time Michael thought she was having an affair? Hah!
"I know! I'm really stupid! To be honest, that time I managed to find you and saw you seemed close with another man. I should have walked over to you and asked you to talk. I think you guys have a relationship because you look close to him, you know, I've always been afraid of you getting close to male doctors or male nurses," Michael explained with a guilty expression on his face.
Sarah was completely at a loss for words when she heard Michael's explanation. That time Michael managed to find her? Does that mean what James said at that time was true? Michael was looking for her?
"Who… Who did you see me with?" Sarah asked a little curiously. It seemed like Michael had finally found out that the man was completely wrong.
"Doctor named… Alex," Michael muttered under his breath.
"Alex?! Oh my god, Michael!" said Sarah who couldn't believe Michael's words at all.
Well… actually Sarah could understand if Michael misunderstood because at that time Alex was trying to get close to her, but Sarah didn't expect Michael to think she was filing for divorce because she was having an affair with Alex.
"You…" Sarah, who wanted to say that the reason she was asking Michael for a divorce, suddenly closed her mouth again.
Why did she have to explain that to Michael again? Would there be anything different between them if she explained it?
Michael already has a fiancé whom he will marry. The woman Mrs. Collins liked. Her relationship with the man was over.
"I know I was wrong, Sarah. Even earlier I thought that you had a relationship with your friend. I'm really stupid and pathetic," Michael said telling her what he was thinking, hoping that Sarah knew he wasn't making excuses.
Sarah was still silent when she heard this. Her gaze then turned to Steve who was still at the place the man pointed at. When their eyes met, the man's face smiled and nodded at her.
Sarah's feelings became very complicated.
"What exactly are you trying to say, Michael? You know that it was your dad who asked me to pretend to be your wife. You also know that it turns out that your guess about me and Alex was wrong. Then what do you want again?" she asked finally.
Michael had been apologizing and regretting his actions for a long time, but what did this man really want? He already knew, so what?
Michael fell silent when he heard that. Actually… What does he want?
At first he wanted to meet Sarah because she owed him an explanation, but he had found an explanation from his father. Then… What else did he want to say to that woman?
"Did you…. sincere when pretending to be my wife?" Michael asked quietly, looking at Sarah.
If that woman was really sincere about her feelings, then… Michael thought he could see a future between the two of them. Maybe his relationship with Sarah could be repaired and they could both be happy, as they had been this month.
"What?" Sarah looked very confused. Why did Michael suddenly bring this up?
"I went to your apartment and found the plan written by you."
Sarah's eyes widened when she heard Michael's words.
"You entered my apartment without permission?!" Sarah asked, unconsciously raising her voice. She didn't think Michael would do something like that at all.
"I know I was wrong. I thought something happened to you in there," Michael muttered under his breath. For some reason, his tone of voice was getting quiet and less confident. Maybe because he knew what he was doing was wrong.
Sarah sighed when she heard Michael's words. She could feel her blood pressure rising slightly and she had better be calm. She had to remember that she was currently pregnant.
"So did you do it according to your plan? You're trying to make me get crazy over you so you can just leave me? Or are you sincere about it?" asked Michael, repeating his question and looking at Sarah gently.
"What does that have to do with you if I'm sincere about it or not?" Sarah asked and hugged herself again.
"Of course it has something to do with me!" Michael's voice suddenly rose. "Even though I have amnesia, my feelings for you are sincere, Sarah! I still love you."
Sarah was silent when she heard Michael's explanation. She also knew that Michael's feelings for her were genuine. She could feel that Michael loves her, unlike the Michael he used to be when they were married.
Sarah knew that very well.
But…
Michael already has his fiancé whom he will marry!
At first, she thought the model named Anna was just Michael's girlfriend, so Sarah didn't feel too guilty about what they did because she thought they were just dating, their relationship wasn't going that far.
However, it turned out that she was wrong. Anna is Michael's fiancé. The woman had become a victim of her selfishness which would not even explain anything to her when Mrs. Collins asked her to do so.
(*read chapter 129. Mrs. Collins told Sarah Anna was Michael's fiancé)
If she accepted Michael's feelings right now, wouldn't that mean she would hurt her?
The expression on Anna's face at the party that time suddenly crossed Sarah's mind, how she looked sad and disappointed.
Can she do this to her? Can she be happy with Michael when she hurts other women's feelings?
Seeing Sarah who was just silent made Michael immediately move his hand and try to hold the woman's hand. He wished Sarah could feel his sincerity.
In the past he had indeed made mistakes, but now he wanted to make up for it. He wanted to be with Sarah. He still loves that woman!
Michael finally realized when he was worried about Sarah, how his heart ached seeing how she hadn't been eating properly all this time. He wanted to protect and live with her.
However, Michael had to swallow his disappointment when Sarah tried to get away from his hand.
"I have a boyfriend, Michael."
Sarah finally made her decision. She… couldn't be with Michael when he had a fiancé that he was going to marry. Sarah didn't want to be the woman who broke someone else's engagement.
"What?" Michael looked surprised.
"As you might guess, that man is my boyfriend, and I love him. Our relationship is over, Michael," Sarah said firmly and looked at Michael sharply.
Although Sarah is not too sure what will happen to her and Steve because she has not explained about her pregnancy, Sarah is sure that this is the right decision.
She couldn't be with Michael anymore.
