Chapter 201 Michael's Offer
"If you really want me to change my inheritance. I will do it on one condition."
Sarah's brow furrowed when she heard that. Condition? What did Mr Collins want to say? The man knew he had no money, so Sarah was sure that was not what the man wanted.
"I'm listening," Sarah replied curtly.
"Live with Michael again!"
"WHAT?!" Sarah subconsciously raised her voice. She couldn't help herself as she listened to how unreasonable Mr Collins' request was.
"You know I won't do that again, Mr Collins! Will never!" said Sarah who was getting emotional.
"Sarah…"
"And I don't care if this is your last wish or something like that! Don't say things like that to me again!" Sarah cut in when she could catch the man's changing tone.
In the past, living with Michael was a mistake she had made.
Right now she does feel happy because she has two adorable sons, but that doesn't mean Sarah has never regretted it.
During her pregnancy, she regretted it so much, why did she have to go through something like this? If she hadn't lived with Michael, she might have taken on another specialist for her career.
But Sarah decided to hang on, she had to take responsibility for her actions. However, once in a while she still regretted it.
Likewise when she had just given birth. The sound of crying from his two sons made her almost go crazy, but thankfully she managed to survive when she saw the faces of her two adorable sons.
Now she only had them, and they only had her. She must be strong!
So now Mr Collins wants him to live with Michael again? Sarah would never do that!
"Then you just have to accept my inheritance with a big smile," said Mr. Collins calmly with a smile.
In fact, he hadn't thought of this at all when he decided to give his wealth to Sarah. But after seeing the woman's face. Why didn't he try again?
In the past Michael had messed up what he was doing, but Mr Collins wanted to believe that this time his stupid son wouldn't do it again.
"Very well, I will receive your inheritance and your shares in Collins. I heard that would make me the ultimate shareholder, I can do whatever I want for Collins! Bankrupt it and destroy the company!" said Sarah angrily
She never thought he would do this to her.
Mr Collins just nodded and smiled.
"I absolutely will do it! You think I'm just threatening you?" Sarah asked when she saw the old man's normal looking attitude.
"Yes, you can do it. It is yours and you are free to do whatever you want," replied Mr Collins calmly with a smile.
"But the Sarah I know wouldn't do such a thing. That's why you came here, right?" continued Mr Collins with a triumphant smile.
Sarah clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She was indeed just bluffing and the old man could see it clearly.
"Sarah… Why don't you give it a try? Two months! Stay with Michael for two months!" said Mr Collins gently.
"The doctor said I only had three months left. For the rest of my life, I just want to see you take care of Michael," he continued, still looking at Sarah gently.
"And who knows the love will grow back between you two," he thought to himself. Mr. Collins subconsciously smiled at the thought of it.
"No! I won't do that again!" said Sarah shaking her head with a determined look on her face.

"Because…"
"You haven't remarried!" Mr Collins cut in quickly.
Sarah cursed herself in her heart when she heard that. Why are people looking for her background? But Mr Collins doesn't seem to know about her sons, yet.
"Michael hasn't remarried either. Why do you think he hasn't remarried?" asked Mr. Collins, looking at her gently.
"That's none of my fucking business!" Sarah thought to herself. She simply didn't want to know the reason Michael didn't remarry, or try to guess because it was none of her damn business!
"I'll see you later, I'll excuse myself!"
Sarah immediately turned around and walked towards the door without waiting for Mr. Collins to answer. He would not accept any more requests from the old man!
***
Sarah looked at her ex-husband who had been sitting and waiting for her in a restaurant. The man was still wearing his suit with a slightly loosened tie, maybe he came straight here from his office.
Sarah then immediately sat in the chair in front of Michael, the man tried to pull the chair for her again, but Sarah refused. She didn't need the man's manners.
"Michael, I…" Sarah opened her mouth, ready to say that her meeting with Mr Collins had failed and that she couldn't persuade him.
That was the reason why she had come here to meet her ex-husband in the evening.
"I've heard it from dad! Regarding his request!" cut Michael in a calm voice.
"That was totally his idea and I didn't tell him to say that," Sarah said in a sarcastic tone.
"I know. You don't have to be sarcastic," Michael said then sighed. "Why do you always sound annoyed when you talk to me, Sarah? I know I was wrong, but you don't have to be like this to me."
Michael was completely confused, six years had passed but Sarah continued to be on the defensive against him. Couldn't she just act normal and not like a lion showing its fangs so he wouldn't come near her?
"I'm just telling you," Sarah said then sighed. Actually, she didn't hate Michael, she didn't have any feelings for him. It's just, maybe subconsciously she did that because she was hiding something from the man.
Michael also sighed when he heard Sarah's answer.
"I wanted to see you to tell… how about we do what dad asks?" Michael asked, finally saying why he had asked Sarah to meet him.
"What?!" Sarah's eyes opened wide. "No! I won't do that! I will not live with you!"
"No, I didn't mean that!" said Michael hastily. "We can pretend!"
Sarah raised her eyebrows, her expression showing that she wanted to hear Michael's explanation.
"You and the Twins can live in our apartment."
Sarah raised her eyebrows again at Michael's words.
"Ehem, I mean, the apartment that you and I lived in back then," Michael said when he realized what he said. His expression looked flustered. "The three of you can stay there and we'll tell dad that you've been living with me."
Sarah was silent when she heard Michael's offer. She really wasn't convinced by Michael's offer.
