Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

As soon as they entered the restaurant where they were going to have dinner, a waiter immediately approached them and asked for the coats they were wearing, then immediately escorted them to the table Michael had ordered.

"Woah, that really looks beautiful," Sarah muttered as she sat down at the table and looked at the view of the city beside her.

Michael smiled at the woman's reaction. He had purposely chosen a table close to the window so they could see the city view. He was glad Sarah liked it.

After telling the waiter the menu they ordered, Sarah turned her head to the side to take another look at the city views.

"I didn't know the night view here would be so beautiful," Sarah muttered under her breath.

Michael's forehead wrinkled when he heard that.

"You've come here before?" asked Michael then took the glass in front of him and took a sip of the water. He was trying to look casual and not sound jealous at all.

He came to this place on purpose, because this building is one of the tallest skyscrapers in London and has a restaurant. That woman loved seeing the sights of the city, so he thought this would be the perfect place for their date tonight.

Michael was sure Sarah had never come here before.

When they were still married, they never came here.

Also, not that he wanted to belittle Sarah, but it was quite expensive here, and Michael was sure Sarah didn't want to spend the money coming to eat here.

Does that mean… she's coming with the blonde doctor or the auburn lawyer?

"Yes," Sarah replied, turning to Michael.

Damn it!

Michael suddenly felt his throat go dry. He had come here thinking he wanted to show off a bit, but Sarah had even been here before.

"I'm here with Anna."

Michael's facial expression, which had been trying hard not to look annoyed, immediately changed to one of surprise when he heard that.

"Eh? You came with Anna?" asked Michael who could not hide his surprised tone.

Sarah nodded. "Yes, we both had afternoon tea here once. The view was amazing that time, but I didn't think that the night would look amazing either."

Michael nodded at that, his expression unconsciously relieved.

"Why?" Sarah asked with a smile. "You think I came here with another man?" she continued with a chuckle seeing Michael's attitude.

Michael just smiled shyly when he heard that. He shouldn't act pathetic like that, but he couldn't help but act like one! He wanted Sarah to do it all with him, and not go where that woman had been, especially with another man!

"By the way, you really look beautiful!" Michael said again, trying to change the subject and at the same time compliment the woman.

"Really?" A smile appeared on the woman's face again.. "Does my hair look okay?" she asked again, glancing a little to the left and right so Michael could see it clearly.

Maybe her hair was getting messy.

"That looks amazing," Michael complimented with a smile on his face.

"What about my makeup?" asked Sarah again who wanted to hear Michael's comments.

After all, she rarely uses makeup on her face, so she doesn't know if it looks weird, or needs to be retouched.

Michael didn't answer right away and studied Sarah's face seriously, before finally nodding his head.

"That looks good on you." Sarah smiled hearing that, "but…" Sarah's facial expression immediately changed when she heard that.

Michael smiled at Sarah's expression.

"Your lips are too red, it makes me want to kiss it until it shows its true color" Michael replied with a grin.

Sarah immediately hit Michael's hand lightly when he heard that.

She thought Michael was serious about her make-up, but who would have thought that he would flirt with her instead?

He really is a pervert!

What if someone heard them?

Reflexively, Sarah immediately looked around her to see if anyone was looking at them.

Meanwhile, Michael just chuckled hearing that.

Yes, he thinks Sarah is very beautiful today with her red dress.

However, the woman was also wearing red lipstick, and that made Michael can't help but stare at her lips.

Her lips seemed to be inviting him to kiss and devoured them until the lipstick was no longer visible.

"Why are there no other customers here?" Sarah asked suddenly, glancing at Michael.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to it when they came here. However, after taking another look, it didn't seem like there were any other customers here.

Even though today isn't Saturday night, there's no way the restaurant here is quiet, right?

"I rented this place," Michael replied casually.

Sarah's eyes widened at that.

"You did what?!" asked Sarah who subconsciously raised her voice.

This is a fancy restaurant, the price for the food is hella expensive, and Michael just said he's renting the whole place?!

Sarah's thrifty soul seemed to scream when she heard that.

"I can afford it, Sarah. Don't worry. Tonight I just want to spend it with you, without distractions," Michael replied with a smile on his face.

Sarah just sighed when she heard that, it seemed she had to get used to Michael having a lot of money.

Not long after, the food ordered by them was brought by the waiter.

"You going to drink?" asked Sarah when she saw Michael joined in to order wine even though he would drive.

"Of course. I'll call a chauffeur later," Michael replied casually. "Or... we can stay upstairs," he continued with a wink.

Sarah snorted at that. As usual, Michael is really perverted!

Michael just chuckled and raised his glass of wine.

"Let's have a toast, for the two of us," Michael said with a smile on his face.

Sarah, who had been holding her cutlery, immediately put it down and raised her glass and brought her glass closer to Michael.

The sound of glasses crashing was heard, and they both took a sip.

They then began to enjoy their dinner by the window with a view of the city.

"Sarah," Michael called out suddenly.

"Hmm?" Sarah replied curtly.

Michael swallowed his own saliva and sighed, preparing himself to ask what he wanted to ask Sarah.

"I have something to ask you," Michael said seriously. He then raised his glass again to moisten his dry throat.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?" Sarah asked confusedly

"Hmmm... I realize that our relationship is getting better, but... I think sometimes you seem to keep your distance from me, like you put some invisible barriers. Did I do something wrong?" asked Michael who finally worked up the courage to ask that.

Unknowingly, Michael held his breath, waiting for an answer from the woman.
