"I… have found them."
Michael's eyes widened when he heard that. The snack he had taken, he put it back on the plate and looked at Sarah intently.
He had absolutely no idea that Sarah had found her parents.
"Really?" Michael asked quietly then picked up his can of beer and took a sip. "Then, how is it?" he continued curiously.
"That… It turns out that I come from a noble family. My father is very rich and owns a well-known business," Sarah answered calmly.
Michael's eyes widened again hearing that. So Sarah's family is noble?
Well… it took him a bit by surprise. He didn't expect that.
Besides, Sarah's father owns a well-known business?
Michael's brain then tries to remember his business partners or businessmen in London who have famous businesses and are aristocrats.
"What is your father's name?" Michael asked, then subconsciously swallowed his own saliva. He suddenly felt nervous.
What if it turns out that Sarah's father is her business competitor?
"That… it's… Ba…" Michael held his breath, waiting for the name to come out of Sarah's lips.
"Ha ha ha!"
Suddenly, Sarah started laughing, causing Michael to put on a confused face.
Why is she laughing?
"I'm sorry Babe, but your face is really funny. Hahaha," replied Sarah who couldn't stop laughing when she saw Michael's expression.
"What's that? Why are you laughing?" asked Michael who still didn't understand what happened. "So… what's your father's name?" asked Michael with a serious expression on his face.
"Hahaha!" Sarah laughed again holding her stomach. Why is Michael so cute?
"I'm so sorry. I just made it up earlier. I lied," Sarah replied with an apologetic smile.
"You made it up? About what?" asked Michael who still did not understand.
Sarah let out a chuckle when she heard that, but she quickly cleared her throat to look serious again.
"Everything. I lied that I had met my parents… and found them," Sarah replied seriously.
"Ohh…" Was all Michael could say. The expression on his face was slightly disappointed.
Why did Sarah have to lie to him like that?
"I am really, really sorry. You looked really serious earlier, so I wanted to tease you a bit," Sarah replied with an apologetic smile.
"It's okay. So… you intend to look for them? I think I can help you with that," Michael said with a serious facial expression then smiled.
Well… nine years ago, that was one of those promises Michael made to himself. He will become a famous businessman, and help Sarah find her parents.
Even though it might be difficult to do, Michael believed that if he was very famous, it would be easy.
Now that he was in that position, it seemed that it was time to fulfill the promise he made to himself back then.
"No! It's not necessary," Sarah replied casually while shaking her head.
Michael was a little surprised to hear that and saw how casually Sarah said it.
"To be honest, when I was young, I wanted to meet them just once. I want to ask my mom why she left me at the orphanage. Why do I have to experience something like this?" Sarah said with a bitter smile on her face.
She recalled her childhood which was arguably not too happy due to the status of an orphan attached to her.
"However, when I was pregnant and raising kids alone. I'm starting to understand why my mom did it. Maybe she thought that was the best thing to do, for her, and also for her daughter."
"There are so many times I had thought like that, because it was very difficult," continued Sarah, smiling, remembering her hard times.
What stopped her that time was her own experience. She did not want to let her babies experience what she experienced. So she chose to endure.
"It must be really hard for you. Thank you for being strong," Michael said in a soothing tone, he then took Sarah's hand and held it, comforting her.
Sarah smiled at that.
"So… why don't you want to look for your parents?" asked Michael who still did not understand.
"Maybe because I'm trying to move on?" Sarah answered with a smile. "Meeting them will only open up old wounds. So it's better if I don't look for them," she continued.
"After all, Teresa is my Mother. The kids also know about that, it's better like that," said Sarah ending the conversation.
Michael nodded his head. Even though it was regrettable, he would respect Sarah's decision.
"By the way, what if what I said just now was true? I am the daughter of a noble and a famous businessman?" Sarah asked with a teasing smile on her face.
"Isn't that great? I married royalty," Michael replied with a playful smile.
Sarah chuckled at that.
"Then what if my father turns out to be your business competitor and you really don't like him?" Sarah asked again, looking at Michael with a seductive gleam.
"That's good! I managed to win her daughter's heart. Seems like we really fated to be enemies," Michael answered with a laugh.
Sarah laughed too at that. She thought Michael would give it some serious thought. However, joking like this is also fun.
The atmosphere between the two of them then became silent. The two of them just kept silent while looking at each other with gazes that made both of them seem interested in getting closer to each other so they could kiss the person in front of them.
"Babe," Michael called suddenly.
"What is it?" Sarah asked, grabbing her can of beer then taking a sip and looking back at Michael. She purposely made her lips slightly wet then licked her own lips.
Michael smiled at how clearly Sarah was seducing him at the moment.
It seemed that the woman immediately became different because he had proposed to her. Michael was glad he took his father's advice well.
"About our wedding. What do you think?" asked Michael seriously.
Sarah was a little surprised when she heard Michael's question. She didn't imagine Michael would ever bring up such a serious topic again.
"Hmmm…" Sarah didn't answer right away and tried to think about it.
"I think I'm too drunk for this, Michael. Can we talk about it tomorrow? I have something important I want to do," Sarah answered with an apologetic smile.
She knew it was an important thing they needed to talk about, and she was glad Michael brought it up with her first.
However, what else can she do? Right now Sarah wasn't in the best of shape to bring up the topic.
"Really?" asked Michael, looking surprised. "What is it?" he continued.
Sarah then immediately stood up and walked over to Michael.
Seeing that, Michael was looking at Sarah while pretending to look confused.
He knew what Sarah meant, but he wondered what she would do.
Sarah then immediately bent her body slightly and approached Michael's ear.
"I… want to seduce you."
