Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Sarah raised her eyebrows when she saw an old woman who appeared and smiled as soon as she saw Steve's arrival. From her appearance, Sarah could immediately tell that the old woman kept her appearance and looked luxurious, like a normal rich woman.

However, Steve looked like he was embarrassed when the old woman called him baby and suddenly hugged him, even so, Steve still hugged the old woman back.

"Mother! I told you not to call me that," Steve said looking flustered, then glanced at Sarah to see her reaction.

How could his mother act like that when he was with Sarah?

Meanwhile, Sarah's eyes widened when she heard Steve call the old woman mother before her expression changed again.

She thought the old woman was a woman close to Steve. Maybe she had been a patient or an acquaintance of Steve because he was a regular at this salon.

Never once did Sarah think that Steve would take her to meet his mother!

"What do you mean? Of course you are my baby," said the old woman with a firm face. Her gaze then subconsciously looked at a woman standing behind Steve.

"Ohh… who is this?" asked the old woman with a curious look on her face.

"Hello, Mrs. Brown. Nice to meet you," Sarah greeted politely with a smile.

Even though she and Steve were friends in college, this was the first time Sarah had seen Steve's mother. It seemed this woman had been to their graduation ceremony at the time, but Sarah was too busy spending her time with Michael.

"Oh yes, nice to meet you," replied Mrs. Brown with a smile, although her face still looked confused by the situation.

"This is Sarah, my date tonight. Can you help me with her makeup and hair?" said Steve introducing Sarah as well as telling the reason why he came to bring Sarah here.

The two women who listened to Steve's words showed different reactions. Sarah looked surprised then glared at Steve as if to tell him why he had asked his mother to do her makeup.

While Mrs. Brown also looked surprised, before her facial expression showed a meaningful smile.

"I see… Then come on in, you've come to the right place!" said Mrs. Brown, inviting Steve and Sarah to come inside immediately.

Sarah looked troubled, before finally smiling resignedly when she was dragged away by Mrs. Brown and told to sit in one of the chairs there.

"Please make Sarah beautiful, mom, but don't take too long, we don't have much time," Steve said standing behind them, folding his arms.

Sarah wanted to hit Steve when she heard that. How could he tell his mother like that?

"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me," said Mrs. Brown and started to get her tools.

"Then I'll go next door first. I also want to borrow a dress, okay?" Steve said then without waiting for an answer from the two women, he immediately left them.

The boutique which is next to the beauty salon is also owned by his mother, but his mother prefers to spend her time at the salon, rather than in the boutique.

The clothes Sarah is currently wearing are actually polite and proper, considering that Sarah has to come to work first. Well… there's no way Sarah would come to the hospital wearing an evening gown, right?

Steve, knowing that Sarah would do that, had thought of doing her makeup and giving Sarah a dress, so that tonight they could both look like stars.

Once Steve left, Sarah felt very awkward being alone with Steve's mother, especially now that his mother was doing her makeup.

"How did you get to know Steve?" asked Mrs. Brown suddenly, breaking the silence. Her tone sounded very curious.

"Ah! Steve and I are college friends," said Sarah, trying to look as natural as possible even though she was feeling very awkward at the moment.

"Oh, I see… you don't have to be so awkward with me," Mrs. Brown replied amiably, even a smile appeared on her face.

Sarah just smiled briefly at that. Even though Mrs. Brown sounded very kind and friendly, Sarah still felt very awkward and uneasy.

She didn't have a good experience with the mother of a man. Moreover, Mrs. Brown looks very fashionable and takes good care of her body, much like Mrs. Collins, and she also comes from a very rich family.

Looks like Sarah should explain first what happened before the friendly woman in front of her showed a disgusted expression.

"Steve and I are just friends. Incidentally, he invited me to accompany him to an event. We don't have that kind of relationship," Sarah explained.

"Is that true?" Mrs. Brown looked surprised when she heard this, so shocked that she subconsciously stopped what she was doing.

"Yes, so Mrs Brown needn't have worried," Sarah replied with a small smile.

"Ah, sorry, I thought you were Steve's girlfriend, but since the kid is still shy, he purposely introduced you as his date," Mrs. Brown said apologetically for the misunderstanding and then proceeded to do Sarah's make-up. The expression on her face looked a little disappointed when she heard that.

"Not really. We're just friends. After all, it's impossible that Steve and I are dating," replied Sarah and then laughed hollowly.

"Why? Was Steve not good enough for you?" asked Mrs. Brown who stopped what she was doing again with a raised eyebrow, her expression confused.

Sarah immediately shook her head when she heard that.

"Not really! It is not like that! I mean I'm not good enough for Steve," Sarah said hastily before Mrs. Brown misunderstood.

"What do you mean? You look very beautiful, and if you are Steve's college friend, you must be very smart to go to medical school," said Mrs. Brown, sounding very sincere when she said that.

"Are you a doctor?" asked Mrs. Brown.

Sarah looked normal when she heard the compliment, she knew that Mrs. Brown was probably just being polite to her.

"Yes, I am a surgeon at the hospital where Mr. Brown works," said Sarah.

p Mrs. Brown's expression looked surprised when she heard that.

"Is that true? Are you a surgeon? Then you must be very smart and talented! Not everyone can work in that hospital!" said Mrs. Brown with a broad smile, liking Sarah even more.

Sarah just smiled when she heard that. Come to think of it, she did have qualifications that could make others surprise and delighted her. Mrs. Collins also looked pleased when she introduced herself. Before she finally said something that made Mrs. Collins hates her.

"But I was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. I'm not good enough for Steve."
