Michael really felt guilty. If he hadn't said such rude things to Sarah at that time, Sarah wouldn't have been able to cover up her pregnancy.
Well, what Sarah did was wrong, that woman hid their children from him for five years!
However, Michael could understand why she did it.
Not only did Sarah take care of the Twins alone, she also had to give up her dream.
All this time Michael had only known that Sarah's dream was to become a doctor, but seeing her become a surgeon after their divorce, didn't that mean that surgeon was Sarah's dream?
Maybe there was a specialty that Sarah had been dreaming of, and she wanted to become one, but because of his stupidity, Sarah had to bury her dream.
"Do it!" said Michael suddenly.
"Eh?" Sarah looked at Michael with a confused look.
"Being a surgeon again," Michael replied, turning around with a smile. "As for the Twins, I can look after them later, or if it's too difficult, we can hire a nanny to look after them."
Sarah was just silent when she heard what Michael said.
Michael turned his head when Sarah didn't answer him.
"I know you like it, being a surgeon," Michael said softly. "I mean, if you don't like it, you don't have to wake up in the morning to the sound of your pager and go straight to work," added Michael.
Sarah just smiled faintly at Michael's words, it had been a long time since she had done something like that.
"So if you want to go back to being a surgeon, or you want to continue your education to take up a sub-specialty. Go for it!" said Michael trying to cheer him up.
"About the Twins, we can think about it later. They're all grown up too, I think they'll understand. If they can't come to one of our workplaces, then we really have to hire someone to look after them at home while I'm still working." Michael continued, trying to suggest what they could do so Sarah wouldn't hesitate to do so.
Sarah fell silent again when she heard Michael's words. She was grateful that Michael was trying to support her, but something had been bothering her since hearing the man's words.
"Why do you keep talking like there's a relationship between you and me?" asked Sarah suddenly.
Now she understood why something bothered her when she heard Michael's words.
Suddenly Michael said "We can hire a nanny." Then the man went back to discussing "We really have to hire someone to look after them at home."
"Eh?" Michael didn't expect those words to come out of Sarah's mouth.
"The Twins and I will only be living with you for two months, Michael! Until your father finally changes his will!" Sarah said, trying to remind Michael again.
It seems Michael is starting to misunderstand and get carried away because they live together. They did live together, but it was only temporary!
Sarah had absolutely no intention of staying with Michael for long, even though they had children together, they were divorced.
Only people who have lost their minds live with their ex-husbands.
Well… maybe she has lost her mind, because she did that twice!
Sarah's words were like a slap in the face to Michael. He seemed to have just been awakened by the fact that at this time his relationship with Sarah was not like that.
There is no "we" between the two of them anymore. Now it's just you and me.
Michael's lips formed a smile, it was a sad smile. He was so stupid that he got carried away and completely forgot about their situation.
Michael then cleared his throat.
"I mean, while you're still living with me, just try to go back to being a surgeon first. I don't think it's going to be as bad as you think," Michael said, trying to correct his words.
He then turned to Sarah.
"You have me now," Michael said with a smile and sounded sincere.
He couldn't imagine what Sarah had been through all this time until she thought she can't be a surgeon anymore.
The woman even turned down his proposal because she wanted to pursue her dream, so Michael was sure Sarah must have tried to become a surgeon, but she really couldn't because of the Twins.
Sarah was silent when she heard Michael's words, especially his last words.
Can she count on Michael?
Well… Sarah wasn't too sure about that. In the end, she was always alone. She could only rely on herself.
Not long after, the car driven by Michael finally arrived at the law firm building where Sarah had hired her lawyer.
Michael stared at the name of the law firm building. He knew the name of the law firm. One of the best law firms here.
"Seems like Sarah is really serious about this," thought Michael who followed Sarah from behind and tried to match their pace.
After informing the receptionist of their interests, Sarah and Michael immediately headed for the elevator and entered the room Sarah had entered last Friday.
Not long after, Arthur appeared and greeted Sarah and Michael while introducing himself to Michael, then motioned them both to sit down.
Michael just nodded at the lawyer, he didn't pay much attention to his appearance or was curious about him.
Right now all he could think of was signing the paper, and carrying out his plan to have lunch with Sarah.
After sitting down, Arthur looked at the two people sitting in front of him.
"Oh yeah, isn't there a lawyer who wants to accompany Mr. Michael?" Arthur asked when he saw that only the two of them had come.
Sarah's expression immediately changed when she heard that. She forgot to tell Michael to come with his lawyer!
"It's okay. I don't need my lawyer for this," Michael replied with a polite smile.
Arthur nodded then began to explain what Sarah wanted to Michael.
"This is what Mr. Michael must sign. You can read the contents first and ask if there is something you don't understand," Arthur said then handed the folder he was carrying to Michael.
Michael took the folder and opened it and began to read the contents of the paper.
Even though he was sure that Sarah wouldn't set him up, Michael was used to reading what he had to sign, especially if it had to do with the law.
So he took his time to read it first before he picked up his pen and placed his signature.
While Michael was reading the paper, there was a sudden silence in the room, until finally Michael's forehead began to furrow as he began to hear the lawyer talking to Sarah.
The two of them seemed very close, and even acted as if he wasn't in the room.
"What is this? Since when did the two of them become that close?" thought Michael who was currently completely unfocused on reading the paper he had to sign.
