Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"But… I have also decided to keep my baby."

Sarah's words made the smile disappear from Steve's face. Sarah decided to keep her child?

Steve knew that it was Sarah's decision and he absolutely had nothing to do with it. However, how will their relationship be later?

Is he ready to accept Sarah and her baby? Is he ready to accompany Sarah who is pregnant?

"I… have to think about this first, Sarah. Can you give me some time?" Steve asked at last.

He was grateful that Sarah didn't go back to her ex-husband and that meant she gave him a chance.

But… Steve didn't know. It was too sudden for him.

"Okay," Sarah said, trying to smile. She knew Steve's reaction was a natural one. He wasn't the man who got her pregnant, so he certainly wouldn't smile happily and say he would take responsibility.

However, even though she already knew about it, Sarah couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Thanks," Steve replied, nodding his head. "Then… I'll leave you alone first. A lot of things happened today," continued Steve, who currently looks very awkward.

Sarah just nodded her head, then looked at Steve's back which was slowly drifting away from her.

She felt disappointed, but on the other hand, she felt relieved to be able to talk to Steve, and also to Michael. Something heavy on her shoulders seemed to just disappear.

"She's pregnant," Steve muttered under his breath, followed by a sigh.

What should he do now?

Honestly, Steve didn't know. He did love Sarah, but… Steve was really confused. He couldn't easily say, "Alright, I'll stay with you. Let's take care of and raise the child."

"Why is this happening to me?" Steve muttered under his breath and took the drink the bartender had just given him.

After leaving the orphanage, Steve decided to go to a bar that was open 24 hours. Right now he needed to drink alcohol, and drinking alone in his apartment would make him look pathetic.

Moreover, he can still clearly remember Sarah's presence in his apartment.

Steve's head was really full of thoughts right now. It was clearly visible on his handsome face. He thought he and Sarah would finally get their happy ending.

He hadn't really thought about getting married yet as he was currently doing his residency, but if one were to ask if Sarah was the woman he was going to marry, Steve could easily say he would.

However, right now he doesn't know anymore. He didn't know if he could afford to accompany Sarah who was pregnant with another man's child.

Maybe, if the woman previously had children. Steve could consider it.

"I'm so pathetic," Steve muttered under his breath then took another sip of his drink.

"You are pathetic!"

Steve immediately turned when he heard the sound of someone taking a seat next to him.

"You're here. I didn't think you would actually come," said Steve when he saw the woman.

"I came because back then you said you would treat me. I didn't think that you would invite me to come to the bar," said the woman and then ordered her drink to the bartender.

Steve just smiled when he heard the cold tone and indifferent face of the woman.

"Thanks for coming, Anna," Steve answered sincerely to the woman.

When he had decided to stop by the bar, Steve immediately took out his cellphone to call someone. Right now he didn't want to be alone and it felt like he needed someone to accompany him.

Normally, he would have contacted Sarah straight away. However, the woman was erased from his choice.

While scrolling for contacts of people he could call, Steve's eyes suddenly stopped on one of the names saved in his contacts. Model Anna.

He doesn't know what pushed him, Steve suddenly texted the woman to come meet him at a bar. He didn't expect that woman would actually come.

"Like I said, I came to get a treat from you. So you will pay for the drinks," said Anna nonchalantly.

Steve just smiled at the woman's attitude then immediately took his glass again and drank it. When Anna's drink was served, Steve then asked her for a toast, which Anna immediately accepted.

"So… why do you want to meet me at the bar?" Anna asked, trying to look casual.

Actually, Anna was really surprised and happy when Steve contacted her first. She had always wanted to contact him first, but she felt too proud to do so.

She didn't want to look like an aggressive woman. Gotta keep the image! At least, that was what she would do for a month. If the man hadn't contacted her for more than a month, then Anna would have made a move first.

However, she had no idea that Steve would contact her first. It's just… Why should they meet at a bar and not a restaurant? That made Anna wonder.

"Because… I want to see you."

Anna's heart slightly skipped a beat when she heard the man's words. He wants to see her?

"Oh," Anna replied nonchalantly and took her drink, hoping it would calm her rapidly pounding heart.

"Every time I see you, I'm like… ah… what I went through wasn't as bad as what she went through," Steve continued to explain.

Hearing that made Anna almost choke, luckily the alcohol had passed her throat first.

"What?!" asked Anna, who subconsciously raised her voice.

"Well… something did happen to me right now, but it's not as bad as what you experienced. Your ex-boyfriend married your friend and you were invited to their wedding and you actually came!," Steve said looking at Anna with pity.

The reason he sent the message to Anna was indeed that. At least by seeing the woman, Steve felt that what happened to him was not as sad as what happened to Anna.

Anna couldn't keep her expression down when she heard what Steve said. The reason the man wanted to ask her to meet was because of that?

"Eh? Or am I that sad right now, huh? Ah no. You're the sadder one," Steve muttered under his breath as he tried to compare what happened to him and Anna.

If Sarah was pregnant with his friend, Steve might be able to tell that he and Anna were in the same position, but Sarah was pregnant with her ex-husband.

He doesn't know, maybe they're actually in the same position?

Steve shook his head immediately. What happened to Anna was much sadder.

"You are really annoying, !@#$."

Steve's eyes widened when he heard the woman beside him cursing at him. He then turned to the woman and was surprised to see that she was staring at him with sharp eyes..

Unknowingly, Steve swallowed his saliva. It seemed he had made a mistake.
