Even though she wasn't a doctor in neurosurgery, Sam was a professor who had taught her, a man she respected.
So to have dinner with him, even though they weren't alone, made Sarah feel really awkward.
Meanwhile, Sam also looked a little awkward, he suddenly didn't expect Sarah to stop by their house and see his wife making pasta, one of her signature dishes, Sarah was certain to be a guest welcomed by his wife.
Then does that mean Steve came here to introduce Sarah? Has their relationship become that close?
Sam's lips subconsciously smiled slightly at the thought.
Sarah was a hardworking woman and had a great personality, so if that was the woman his son was going to introduce to them, Sam had absolutely no complaints.
Adding a doctor to their family wasn't so bad.
"Is your work done? Don't have a night shift?" Sam asked suddenly sounding friendly.
Sarah was a little surprised when she heard the question.
"Yeah, today my surgery can be finished early, so I can go home on time," Sarah replied as she put her hands on her knees. He was really nervous.
"Ah, I see, what operation did you perform?" asked Sam, still wanting to try to talk to the woman.
Steve who was sitting next to Sarah also looked at her, his facial expression clearly showing that he was also curious about it.

Luckily she made a little more of the pasta because later she wanted to ask Sarah to eat more.
Well… she was confident about it.
"It's all right, Mrs. Brown. I have absolutely no problem," said Sarah, raising her hands and moving them.
"Your guest?" Sam asked a little confused.
Mrs. Brown sat down immediately and nodded her head.
"Yeah, I was planning to have dinner with Sarah, I didn't expect you to come home early, and also this kid who came to the house suddenly," said Mrs. Brown looking at Sam and Steve alternately.
Sam's face became even more confused hearing this. It's not what he thought?
"You know Sarah and invite her to dinner?" Sam asked his wife again.
Mrs. Brown nodded, then explained her meeting with Sarah.
"It's been said. Let's eat! Sarah, please," said Mrs. Brown and then invited Sarah to eat first.
However, Sarah still didn't move in her place and watched her professor and his wife talking.
"What's wrong? Don't you like pasta?" Steve asked after swallowing his food and watching Sarah who hadn't eaten at all.
Sam and Mrs. Brown turned their heads when they heard this.
"Ah, no, it's not like that. I'll eat after the professor and Mrs. Brown eat first," Sarah said smiling awkwardly.
She didn't really mind when Mrs. Brown told her to eat, but now things were different. Her professor is in front of her!
It felt very disrespectful if she had to eat first.
The two couples opened their mouths when they heard that.
"Ah! You really are so polite! I feel like I failed at educating Steve! Look at him, he has eaten first!" said Mrs. Brown with a smile and then sneered at Steve.
While Sam did not say anything, the expression on his face looked pleased.
"You told us to eat, I wasn't wrong at all!" Steve said defensively.
"That's it, let's eat!" said Sam before his wife opened her voice again then took his fork and started eating his pasta.
Mrs. Brown did the same.
"You can start eating, Sarah," Mrs. Brown said after swallowing her food.
Sarah smiled then nodded and started lifting her fork.
Sarah's eyes immediately widened as the pasta touched her taste buds. It feels so good!
"Wow! This is absolutely delicious, Mrs. Brown! This is the best pasta I've ever eaten in my life!" said Sarah who was no longer awkward to speak because the food was absolutely delicious and she had to compliment Mrs. Brown on it.
"Really? I'm glad you like it!" said Mrs. Brown with a big smile. A look of pride was evident on her face.

"Of course! You should also praise my cooking! Are you really my son?!" asked Mrs. Brown half sulkily. Why did her son never compliment her again?
"Hmm... I look like dad, so..." Steve didn't continue because Mrs. Brown immediately got up from her chair and smack her son's head.
"Look at this kid! Sam! Are you teaching your son like this? He's been looking more and more insolent since moving to your hospital!" Mrs. Brown argued against her husband.
"I taught him well. He is like that because he looks like you," Sam replied calmly and then went back to eating his food.
"What? Look at these two men! Sarah! You are on my side, right?" asked Mrs. Brown suddenly.
Sarah, who had been a little surprised by how lively the table was, immediately regained her senses when Mrs. Brown asked her.
"Of course! I'll be on your side!" Sarah replied with a smile.
The dinner was cheerful and full of laughter. Even her professor, who usually looked dignified and cold, smiled and laughed a few times at the jokes of his wife and Steve.
Without realizing it, Sarah felt very jealous of it.
This was a sight that had always been her dream as an orphan, to be able to eat together with the family while laughing and joking like this.
She initially thought it could be done when she married Michael. She could have dinner with the whole family, with a father and mother.
However, dinner at Michael's family was always felt tight. Mrs. Collins was always angry and scolded her if she made a sound, and they could only chat after dinner.
Luckily eating alone with Michael was much more relaxed and less formal. Otherwise, Sarah felt she felt like she was about to suffocate.
So, right now Sarah was really jealous. Steve's family is a warm and welcoming family.
Sam doesn't talk much but is kind to her, Mrs. Brown is always cheerful and looks at her with warm eyes, and Steve… is Steve, a man who always makes her feel comfortable.
Unknowingly, Sarah wants to be part of the Brown family…
