BXBX NOVEL Chapter 249 Long-Distance Relationships
Sarah bit her lower lip. She had already made up her mind, but she didn't know if it would be the right one.
She could feel her heart beating fast because she was so nervous.
Sarah then took her breath, trying to calm her nervousness, then turned back to Arthur who was still staring at her with a gentle gaze without saying anything, waiting for her answer.
Sarah's head slowly nodded.
"Okay," Sarah answered quietly.
After she thought about it again, she and Arthur would just go on a date and not dating.
She didn't know what the future of their relationship would be, but Sarah wanted to give it a try.
All this time she had always thought that she had no right to have a new partner because she was a woman who already had children, but it turned out that she was very wrong because someone was still attracted to her, and he didn't matter to her status as a single mother.
A smile immediately appeared on Arthur's face. It wasn't even a yes to the question of being his girlfriend, but Arthur was overjoyed to have the opportunity.
"Th… then, I'll go in first," said Sarah, who unconsciously began to feel a burning sensation on her cheeks. She was really feeling hot right now.
"Ah, yes," Arthur said, then let go of the hand. There was a slight sense of loss when he no longer held the hand that was smaller than his.
"I'll call you later for our next date," Arthur said before Sarah got out of her car.
Sarah just nodded hearing that, then hurriedly entered the apartment building with a blush face.
Unknowingly, she began to look forward to their next date.
***
Sarah opened the apartment door slowly for fear that she would wake anyone, to be honest, it wouldn't wake anyone at all, but she did so reflexively because she came home a little late.
Sarah's facial expression was immediately shocked when she saw Michael sitting on the sofa leaning his head and closing his eyes.
"Oh, you're home," said Michael who was apparently not asleep and could feel someone had just entered.
Michael then immediately sat down again on the floor, and began pressing the keys on his laptop keyboard to turn it on.
To be honest, Michael had been waiting for Sarah a long time ago, but he didn't want it to appear that he was waiting for her, and started pretending he was getting on with his work.
Michael's eyes then fell on the time displayed on his laptop. It was 11:30.
That means, Sarah went out for about two hours.
"Ah, yes," said Sarah and immediately took off her heels because her feet were starting to hurt. She hasn't worn heels in a long time.
Michael opened his mouth when he heard that and then licked his lips which suddenly felt dry.
He wanted to ask where Sarah had gone, and with whom she had met.
However, Michael tried to restrain himself from doing that. Especially after Sarah made clear boundaries between them at that time.
But… he was so curious!
"Birthday party? No. I told you I met someone," Sarah said confusedly.
Michael was just silent hearing that, it seems like Sarah didn't eat the bait!
"Who?" asked Michael at last, unable to hide his curiosity any longer.
"Arthur," Sarah answered curtly, then put her drink glass on the table and walked away to get her heels.
Michael was silent when he heard that, the name seemed familiar to him.
His eyes immediately opened wide when he finally realized who Arthur was referring to by Sarah.
Sarah went to see Arthur at night?!
Michael wanted to ask more about it, but Sarah had disappeared and had gone into her room.
Michael sighed when he saw that. He was uncomfortable with the fact that Sarah had gone to see the lawyer again.
He thought he should start by approaching the Twins first, but it seemed his plans had to change, he had to approach the Twins, and Sarah at the same time.
Michael sighed again. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he had to do his best, because from the start, if he didn't just let Sarah go, this would never happen.
Meanwhile, Sarah was already on her bed, she looked up at the ceiling of her room which tonight seemed to look more beautiful than usual.
Memories of her dinner with Arthur and when they were at the car replayed like a movie.
Sarah's face involuntarily turned red, after so long, she didn't expect to feel this kind of feeling again.
A tone from her cellphone woke Sarah from her thoughts, she had received a message.
Sarah then immediately took her cellphone which was placed on the bedside table, it turned out to be a message from Arthur.
[I just got home, but I already miss you. Can't wait for our next date. Good night]
Sarah's lips unconsciously formed a smile when she read the message, her face felt hot again. She wasn't even a teenager anymore, but why was she acting like a teenager?
Without waiting any longer, Sarah immediately replied to the message.
After she finished replying, Sarah tried to sleep. She was becoming increasingly impatient to wait for her date with Arthur again.
***
Tonight Steve came home with a facial expression that is not as excited as the previous nights even though tomorrow is Saturday and he finally got his schedule off for the weekend.
It was because his wife, Anna, had returned to work and she had to go out of town for a week for work.
He, who had planned to spend his holiday with his wife and daughter, became a little gloomy because of that. It seemed that this time he had to play with his daughter alone.
Even though he was a little sad, he was very supportive of his wife who finally decided to go back to work again.
They might have had a few long-distance relationships because of his wife's job, but Steve was sure that he and Anna could pull it off.
Steve then immediately went to his daughter's room, observing the face of his daughter who was fast asleep because she was tired of playing with her nanny. His heart ached a little seeing that his daughter seemed to be growing more and more every day, but he was rarely with her because of his job.
Once satisfied to see his daughter's face, Steve immediately headed to the master room.
His eyes immediately opened wide when he saw the figure of a woman who was sitting leaning on the bed in her pajamas while holding her tablet.
"Babe?" said Steve who couldn't hide his surprise at all. He then immediately walked over to his wife and without waiting any longer immediately hugged her, releasing the longing that he had not seen for five days.
"I miss you so much," said Steve, releasing the hug and kissing his wife's lips.
Anna just smiled at her husband's behavior, her hand then immediately grabbed his husband's cheek.
"You seem a little thin," she said worriedly.
Steve just smiled at that. "I'm fine. Oh right, why are you here already? Didn't you say you'd be back on Sunday?" Steve asked curiously, his tone sounding a little worried.
Is this a bad sign because Anna came home earlier than she said?
"Oh no. We finished it faster than we should. My work is going well. To be honest, I was a little worried because I haven't worked in the industry in almost three years and so many new models have appeared, but thankfully all is well."
Steve again landed a kiss on his wife's lips when he heard his wife's story.
"Of course, you are Anna, the supermodel. Even though there are tons of new models out there, they are nothing compared to you!" Steve said with a smile, trying to cheer his wife on.
Anna just smiled at that. She is really grateful to be married to a husband who is still willing to support her like this.
"You should take a shower. I will prepare dinner for you because you seem to be getting thinner," said Anna then lowered her legs and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook dinner for her husband.
However, Steve suddenly held his hand, causing Anna to immediately turn around and see the expression on her husband's face that had changed.
"How about you take a shower with me?" Steve asked, looking at his wife with a passionate look. "Appetizers before I eat your food?" he continued with a smirk on his face.
"Well…" Anna said with a seductive smile. "You're just asking for an appetizer and don't want the main course?" Anna continued with a wink.
Seeing his wife's seductive gaze made Steve immediately stand up and kiss his wife's lips, releasing his long-lost desire to meet his wife.
***
Anna looked at the satisfied face of her husband who had just finished the food he made.
"Are you that happy?" asked Anna, laughing a little at her husband's behavior.
"Of course. Thank you," Steve replied and then again landed a kiss on his wife's lips.
"Since you're full, I have a request," said Anna suddenly.
"Oh? What's that?" Steve asked, looking at Anna with a serious face, it was unusual for her to have a request like this.
Anna bit her lower lip, a little hesitant to say this.
"Can you give me… Sarah's number?" asked Anna after a while.
