Sarah turned around when Michael held her hand. She didn't know what Michael was going to explain. However, Sarah would give it a chance.
"Let's sit down first," Michael said, motioning his hand for Sarah to sit down.
Sarah sighed, then took a seat on the one-seat sofa. Actually, she wanted Michael to explain it already and not ask her to sit down, but Sarah tried to be patient..
Meanwhile, Michael sat on the long sofa, right in front of Sarah and stared at the woman.
Sarah looked at Michael, her lips tightly shut, but the expression on her face made it clear that she was waiting for Michael's explanation.
Michael took a deep breath, a troubled look on his face. He could feel sweat starting to run down his back.
Michael took another breath.
"That woman and I don't have that kind of relationship," Michael said, starting his explanation.
Sarah's lips twitched when she heard that. Since earlier, Michael kept saying that his relationship with that woman wasn't like that, then what kind of relationship did they have?
Why does that man keep saying things like that?!
Sarah wanted to open her mouth, but she closed her mouth again, waiting for Michael to explain
Michael's lips closed, sweat starting to trickle down his face.
To be honest, he didn't think what he was doing with Elizabeth was anything wrong. They are both adults and do it because they both like it.
However, he had to say that to the woman in front of him, the woman who had his heart, the woman he loves, and it was really difficult to confess it.
"Damn it. Just say it, Michael!" said Sarah angrily. She had been trying to wait for Michael to say it, but Michael had been looking like a kid who was afraid to tell what he's doing because it's not something good.
Ah! Does that mean he has made a mistake?
"I slept with her," Michael said quietly, finally getting up the courage to tell her about his relationship with Elizabeth.
Sarah's eyes widened when she heard that. Surprised to hear that.
However, what surprised Sarah wasn't that Michael slept with the woman, but rather that what Michael found difficult to say was that?
Well…they both have a relationship, isn't it natural for them to have sex? Sarah didn't know if it was because she didn't have those feelings, or because she was getting older, but she didn't mind it at all.
Maybe it's because she's always kept in mind that they're divorced, and Michael is a single man, so he's free to do whatever he wants in his past.
"Just that?" Sarah asked, sounding relaxed.
Michael was a little surprised when he saw Sarah's expression which looked normal. He thought Sarah would be disappointed, or at least angry, or express her feelings. However, the woman looked normal.
"Well… it's more of a sex relationship… which each got benefits," Michael said quietly. Even though Sarah looked more relaxed than he had expected, Michael was still afraid and was careful about what he was going to say.
He didn't want to say the wrong thing, and strain his relationship with Sarah even more.
"I see… Wait," Sarah suddenly realized something. "So you mean, you two don't have a romantic relationship, but just sex partner?!" Sarah continued trying to catch what Michael was trying to say.
Michael bit his lower lip and nodded his head slowly.
"Holy shit" cursed Sarah who couldn't stop herself from saying that.
She thought Michael did it because they were dating. But it turns out that the two of them are just sex partners? What the…
"I know that sounds really bad," Michael said with a guilty look on his face. "That is because…. Ahh… forget it," he continued, not continuing his words.
He wanted to give a reason why he had such a relationship with Elizabeth. As a normal man, he has his own needs. However, he couldn't go looking for womens in clubs or bars because he had an image he had to maintain.
Elizabeth is the right woman to do that. After all, the woman was willing to do it and she also got material benefits. So it's a mutually beneficial relationship.
But Michael knew that would only sound like an excuse and strain his relationship with Sarah even more. So he decided to keep quiet and not say the reason why he did it.
Meanwhile, Sarah still looked surprised. She knew that Michael loves sex so much that even when they got married he was always asking to do it, but Sarah had no idea that Michael would go that far to get his satisfaction.
"Sarah ..." Michael called softly when he saw the woman was silent. "Please say something," he continued with a pleading expression.
"I…" Sarah couldn't continue her words. She was really surprised.
"So you had that kind of relationship with her for nine years?!" Sarah asked subconsciously, raising her voice.
"I don't know if it's been nine years, but I guess so," Michael answered honestly. After Sarah left him, he never dated another woman, and used Elizabeth to fulfill his desires.
Sarah closed her eyes when she heard that. She felt her heart being sliced ??again. It really hurts.
"Why..." said Sarah, opening her eyes, this time her expression looked hurt. "Why did you have to do it with that woman?!" Sarah asked, looking at Michael with teary eyes.
She tried not to think too much about it. As she had always believed, Michael was a single man. He can do whatever he wants to do.
However, no matter how Sarah tried to think it was okay, she couldn't do it at all. She couldn't believe it.
How did Michael do that with the woman who ruined their marriage?!
Sarah didn't know if she would feel any better if Michael's sex partner was another woman, and not that blonde, but clearly, right now, Sarah wasn't okay.
"Forgive me. I know I'm a real asshole," Michael said quietly and had a regretful expression on his face. "But I've ended my relationship with her, Sarah. Since the beginning I never thought about marrying her," continued Michael looking at Sarah with a serious look on his face.
"Yeah, you really are an asshole!" said Sarah coldly. "Do you have to have sex with the woman who ruined our marriage?!" Sarah asked sharply.
Now she was convinced that what Elizabeth had told her was all a lie. Well… maybe the apartment thing is true, considering how her relationship with Michael is. Of course they need a place to do what they are going to do.
However, Sarah was really disappointed and angry that Michael had to do that with the blonde woman.
"What?" Michael's brow furrowed when he heard Sarah's words. He was really confused.
That woman is the woman who ruined their marriage?
Sarah snorted when she saw Michael who looked confused.
"So you really don't know? Or are you just pretending you don't know?" Sarah scoffed.
She still remembered when Michael asked why their relationship turned out like this.
Did Michael really not know about that?
"I really don't know what you're talking about," Michael said with a serious face.
Sarah snorted again. Looking at his expression, it seemed like Michael was telling the truth.
"Then why do you think we divorced?" Sarah asked, glaring at Michael.
"That…" Michael didn't continue.
"Just say it, Michael! Damn it! Do you even remember why we divorced?!" Sarah asked in a rising voice. She's really angry right now.
How could Michael forget the reason why they both got divorced?!
"That's because of my stupidity," Michael answered quietly. "Like I told you six years ago. I thought you were having an affair with that doctor."
He had never completely forgotten the reason he and Sarah had separated. Although in the end it turned out that he was very wrong, because nothing happened between Sarah and the doctor named Alex.
Well… Michael regretted it. If he had confirmed that to Sarah, his relationship with Sarah would not have been like this.
"You really think the reason we divorced was because I was having an affair? Hahaha!" Sarah suddenly started laughing. She had heard this before, but she had no idea that Michael actually thought that way.
"Well… I know, I was wrong," said Michael who couldn't say anything other than that. He really regretted it for being such a fool.
"So you really didn't feel like you were doing anything wrong at all? Even though I was the one whoI asked for a divorce?!" Sarah asked again, now sounding angry.
How could Michael think she was having an affair, when it was Michael who did it.
Michael was silent, trying to think about what he had done wrong that Sarah wanted to divorce him.
No matter how Michael thought about it, he simply couldn't remember.
Seeing Michael just silent, Sarah could only snort again. She doesn't know how many times she's done it.
"Don't you even remember that night?" Sarah asked with a sad smile on her face.
How could Michael not remember what happened that night? Even after nine years, Sarah can still remember it clearly. The night that changed what had happened between her and Michael.
