In the car, the irritating feeling of being at the law firm hadn't gone away from inside Michael at all. He really couldn't believe that the lawyer was trying to flirt with Sarah, and it didn't stop there, he wanted to take Sarah out to lunch! Isn't he out of his mind?
Michael was literally speechless when he remembered that. Why did he have to take Sarah to lunch at all? Michael had no idea!
"Maybe he just wants to be close to Sarah as a lawyer and client. You know, Sarah is his client."
A whisper rang in Michael's ear, trying to calm his heart that was burning with jealousy fire right now. Yes! He admits he's jealous! Very jealous! Did you hear it?! He, Michael Collins, is being jealous right now!
"Want to be close as a lawyer and client my ass! He was just helping Sarah write the agreement and would never see each other again. They won't even go to trial. That sneaky lawyer is flirting with Sarah! He's attracted to her!"
As if it didn't want to just be extinguished, the fire continued to burn what it could burn to hold on to it, making Michael even more annoyed.
Aren't that lawyer and Sarah done because he signed the paper earlier? They could meet again as lawyer and client, if he files for custody.
However, as long as he doesn't sue her, there should be no reason that the lawyer would want to be close to Sarah as a lawyer and client! They shouldn't even meet!
Michael then looked at Sarah who was currently staring straight at the street. He had to admit that the woman was still beautiful.
Sarah may not be as pretty as the models he often works with, wrinkles are starting to show on her 38 year old face, indicating that she has aged and she is not young anymore.
However, Sarah has her own beauty.
Her face was pleasing to the eye, and when she smiled, people could smile along with her. That kind of beauty possessed Sarah, and maybe that was also the reason why he was attracted to Sarah.
Well… what else can you do? He himself is attracted to Sarah, so naturally other men would also be attracted to her. However, Michael really hoped that no one else would be attracted or like that woman!
Michael took a deep breath, trying to calm himself not to sink into the annoyance any longer. Right now they had to go visit the Twins, and he had to look friendly in order to have a good image in front of his sons.
By the way, wasn't he planning to have lunch alone with Sarah? Why was the car now headed to pick up the Twins?
It's because of that lawyer! Today everything seems to be falling apart because of that damn lawyer!
Michael immediately shook his head, better not thinking about the lawyer for now and calming himself down so he could talk to Sarah.
Michael's head then turned, trying to see what Sarah was doing at the moment, his forehead immediately furrowed when he saw Sarah was staring at the screen of her cellphone and her fingers seemed to be typing something.
Sarah is looking at her cellphone?
It was something Sarah rarely did. The woman is a person who is not dependent on her cellphone. She doesn't even have social media, which makes it a little difficult for Michael to find out the latest news from the woman.
Well… after separating from Sarah and knowing that Sarah no longer lives in the orphanage, Michael thought about her occasionally and tried to find out how she was.
Michael thought, Sarah had at least created a social media account after her divorce, so that his longing for the woman could be cured with photos uploaded on her social media.
He could see how she was doing.
However, Sarah apparently still did not create a social media account.
So… why is that woman, who is not dependent on her cellphone, looking at her cellphone and busy with it?
"What are you doing?" Michael asked, trying to sound nonchalant and uninterested.
Sarah, who was typing something, immediately raised her head and turned to Michael when she heard that.
"What?"
"You seem to be busy doing something with your cellphone," Michael replied, occasionally glancing at Sarah. "You don't usually do that," he continued, still trying to sound nonchalant.
Sarah's mouth opened slightly at Michael's words. She doesn't usually play with her cellphone when she's in the car because she prefers to sleep, or enjoy the scenery outside.
"I'm sending a message," Sarah replied, then turned to her cellphone again and replied to Arthur's message.
One of the reasons Sarah rarely holds a cellphone is because it is rare for anyone to send her a message, when she was still working as a surgeon, they used to use pagers instead of sending messages.
She is also a person who is quite secretive and doesn't just give out her cellphone number, so it's rare for anyone to contact her.
So, when Arthur suddenly sent her a message, Sarah felt it was okay to reply to the message. Besides, she's not busy at the moment and can reply to the message.
Michael licked his lips which suddenly felt dry when he heard Sarah's answer. So the woman is sending a message.
"To whom?" asked Michael who didn't look at Sarah this time and just stared ahead. His tone was also trying to sound nonchalant, as if he didn't care about it and just wanted to make small talk.
"Arthur," Sarah answered simply without turning her head.
Michael snorted when he heard Sarah's words. Now that it was clear, that lawyer did want to be close to Sarah! Doesn't that lawyer have a wife so he should text Sarah and take her to lunch?
Ah! Right ! Doesn't he already have a wife? That lawyer must be a masher! No wonder he didn't like him!
Sarah turned when she heard Michael's snort, wondering if she just heard it wrong or not, but she could see that the man seemed to be saying something but didn't make a sound.
Her eyebrows are raised, what's with him?
Sarah decided not to think about it any further.
"You must be talking about something fun until you've been exchanging texts for quite a while," Michael said suddenly, unconsciously letting his heart out and his voice sounding annoyed.
What exactly were they talking about that Sarah didn't immediately return her cellphone to her bag?
Sarah turned back to Michael, and this time she could see the man's suddenly annoyed face.
"Why do you look annoyed?" asked Sarah, frowning.
"Annoyed? No! What am I annoyed about?" Michael asked, occasionally glancing at Sarah.
"He's really annoyed," Sarah said to herself.
Even though they had been separated again for six years, Sarah at least knew how the man looked when he looked annoyed, and it was the same expression.
However, the reason Michael suddenly felt annoyed was completely incomprehensible to Sarah.
Something suddenly kicked Sarah's mind, whispering something that annoyed Michael, but Sarah wouldn't admit it.
"You are jealous?" Sarah asked to be sure.
Her relationship with Michael has ended. Even though they were now bonded as parents to the adorable twins, there was nothing more between the two of them.
So Sarah didn't want to admit that Michael was feeling jealous right now, but she couldn't find any other reason why Michael was suddenly annoyed. So she'd better ask.
"What?" Michael turned to Sarah, then back to the street in front of him. "What did you say? Jealous? I?!" he continued, turning to Sarah.
The expression on his face showed that what he had just heard was something that made no sense at all.
"How did Sarah know that? Did I show it clearly?" thought Michael who was starting to feel panic in his heart but he tried not to show it.
He was indeed jealous, but he would never admit it, or show it! That would make him look pathetic!
Suddenly, Michael started to hear a chuckle next to him. It came from Sarah.
"You see, right now you are really similar to Raphael. Haha… even the expressions are so alike!" said Sarah who suddenly remembered Raphael's refusal to admit that he wanted to play.
Although the context is different, it's really similar.
Sarah then took a deep breath to calm herself when she saw Michael staring at her in annoyance.
"Why should you be jealous too?" Sarah muttered under her breath as she shook her head in complete disapproval.
Michael was clearly jealous right now, but why did he have to act like that? Sarah really didn't understand.
"I can't?" asked Michael suddenly.
Sarah took her eyes off her phone and turned to look at Michael again.
"Eh?"
"I am jealous!" Michael said quietly, still hard for him to admit it. "I can't do it?" Michael continued, looking at Sarah.
"Eh?" Sarah was really surprised, not expecting Michael to ask her that.
"I mean… there's no reason for you to be jealous, right?" Sarah asked back, completely bewildered by Michael's attitude.
