Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband-Chapter 10 Shopping
"Shopping?"
Contrary to Michael's expectations, Sarah's face looked normal, only her forehead was frowning. Shopping was something that seemed foreign to Sarah.
Sarah didn't have parents and lived in an orphanage. When she finally left the orphanage to go to college, she also couldn't enjoy her time to go shopping because she had to study hard to maintain her scholarship.
After Sarah graduated from college, she married Michael, but she still couldn't enjoy that luxury because she became a resident at the hospital. It was still the same right now. After she became a surgeon, she never went out to spend her time to go shopping because she was very busy.
Well, she didn't have much money either. So she never made shopping as her hobby.
Michael didn't notice Sarah's completely unimpressed expression, and continued to drive his car to one of the malls in London. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎
A few minutes later, Michael and Sarah finally arrived at the mall. This place felt foreign to her because she had never come here before.
Sarah was snapped from her reverie when Michael suddenly grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers.
She then looked at Michael, and it turned out that the man was also looking at her. When their eyes met, Michael gave a sweet smile.
"Let's find some clothes for you," he said.
Sarah looked at their intertwined hands. Michael's hands were bigger than her, making her always feel like a child when they were holding hands.
When was the last time she held hands with Michael?
To be honest, Sarah couldn't remember it. It seemed they had never held hands again after one year into their marriage.
Sarah hastily shook her head. Now was not the time to recall the long-buried memories. She had to quickly figure out how to get rid of this hand from hers.
Even though she had planned to make Michael fall in love with her and eventually dump him, Sarah didn't expect her to feel disgusted to even hold hands with Michael.
"Let's go to the shop over there," Sarah said, pointing to one of the shops in that mall. She then walked towards the shop without waiting for Michael and hastily let go of their hands.
Michael felt a little lost when Sarah let go of his hand, but he quickly shook his head and followed his wife.
Once they were in the shop, Sarah gasped slightly at the clothes that looked very beautiful. Her mood got a little better. She then walked to one of the clothes, and tried to touch the fabric. It felt soft and silky.
However, as soon as Sarah saw the price tag, her face changed drastically. She could buy those clothes on her current salary, but it was still so expensive. It cost a quarter of her salary, and Sarah didn't want to spend that much on one outfit.
"What is it? You don't like it?" asked Michael when he saw Sarah immediately moved to touch another outfit, but the next second, she had the same expression on her face.
"Let's go somewhere else, it looks like this shop only sells expensive clothes," whispered Sarah. She didn't want to be in the shop anymore.
Michael didn't answer right away. Instead, he walked over to the clothes Sarah had seen earlier and looked at the price tag of the clothes.
"Oh, it's not that expensive. Buy it if you like it. It looks like the size is right for you too," Michael said then took the clothes and put them in front of Sarah to see if they fit for the woman or not.
After seeing it, Michael nodded in satisfaction. The clothes fit his wife perfectly.
"What do you mean? No, there's no need. It's very expensive. Let's go somewhere else," said Sarah, shaking her head.
"Wifey!" called Michael gently and held Sarah's hand.
"I can buy these clothes, and all the things you want to buy. Look," Michael said then took his wallet out of his pocket and pulled out a card.
"I don't really remember, but it looks like I now have a Black Card. Look, my name is here," he said and showed Sarah the card.
As Michael said, there was Michael Collins' name on the black card.
"It seems you are right that I have taken over Dad as CEO. So, you don't have to worry about buying things that seem expensive. Okay?" continued Michael, ending his explanation with a smile.
Sarah fell silent when she heard that. She knew that Michael's father's company was huge, but the man could get a Black Card? Did it mean that Michael was a billionaire now?
Before Sarah could react, Michael had already called the shop assistant to help her try on the clothes they wanted to buy.

A few minutes later, Michael and Sarah came out of the store with a lot of paper bags. Sarah only planned to buy two or three clothes, but the man kept adding one onto another until they piled up. He even intended to buy all the clothes in the store so that they could fill Sarah's wardrobe.
Luckily, Sarah managed to persuade him to come out and take a look at the other stores. Even so, they still bought ten clothes, and Sarah wanted to scream when she saw the total price was more than her three months salary.
"Let's go there," Michael said, suddenly feeling excitedly. He pointed to a shop in the opposite direction of the first shop.
Sarah, who was looking in another direction, turned her head and looked at the shop that Michael pointed to.
It was an underwear and lingerie shop!
"Why do we go there?!" said Sarah with a slightly red face out of embarrassment. She had absolutely no problem getting into a shop like that, but right now Michael was coming with her too.
"To buy you underwear?" Michael asked back, pretending to be innocent.
Sarah did need underwear, but the reason Michael wanted to go into the store was to buy his favorite lingerie for his wife to wear when they made love.
Red and lacy!
Sarah looked at Michael suspiciously, trying to see if the man really wanted to go there to buy her some underwear, not other things. Sarah sighed, then finally followed Michael inside.
Beep Beep Beep
Sarah, who was picking out some underwear, immediately opened her bag when she heard the sound and took something that was beeping continuously. It was her pager. After reading the contents of the message, Sarah instantly called Michael.
"Michael, I'm sorry. I have to go to the hospital right away. There's an emergency patient."
"Let me take you…"
"No. No need. I can call a taxi. Sorry," said Sarah and ran out of the shop without hearing the man's answer.
Michael followed Sarah out of the shop and was about to follow her, but the woman suddenly disappeared from his sight.
After taking a deep breath, Michael decided to go back into the shop. After all, his wife needed underwear.
Meanwhile, a woman was seen walking to the cashier to pay for the underwear she had took from the display.
"Michael?" called the woman when she saw Michael who had just finished paying for his things.
