Chapter 119 Shopping (2)

Not long after, the black Mercedes-Benz driven by Michael stopped at one of the supermarkets. The two then went straight inside and Michael grabbed one of the neatly lined trolleys and pushed it.

Sarah, who was waiting for Michael to take the trolley, immediately walked beside him and took Michael's arm. She looked like she was used to doing that, while Michael looked at Sarah's hand in his before smiling broadly.

Well…they were husband and wife and this was only natural, but still he felt good to be touched by Sarah like that.

"Where should we go?" asked Michael, who was in charge of pushing their trolley and ready to head in the direction Sarah wanted.

"I'm planning to make a sandwich, let's go to the vegetable section first," Sarah said while looking at her cellphone which had a list of what they had to buy.

Michael skillfully pushed the trolley to where his wife wanted him to go.

After leaving the vegetable section, they went to the meat section.

Unlike before, Sarah's face this time looked a little dissatisfied.

"Why? There's nothing you're looking for?" Michael asked as Sarah just stood still and didn't move.

"If you want to make a sandwich, don't you need ham?" Michael continued, then pointed at the ham with his chin.

"Yeah, I need some ham, but…" Sarah trailed off and seemed to be contemplating whether she should buy the ham or not.

"Why?" Michael asked, looking confused. According to him, the meat looks quite fresh.

"The price is a little expensive," said Sarah and chose to immediately turn around. Even though it had been a long time since she last came to buy meat, Sarah at least still knew the price.

This time, the price had almost doubled from the usual price, and she thought it was very unreasonable.

Michael blinked his eyes when he heard Sarah's words.

"You don't want to buy it because it's expensive?" Michael asked again to make sure he hadn't misunderstood.

Sarah nodded.

"Yeah, we'd better buy it somewhere else, maybe it's cheaper there," replied Sarah, looking serious and her eyes began to search what else they should buy.

On the list, all she had to do was buy bread to make their sandwiches and that was done, who knows what else they could buy.

However, suddenly Sarah seemed to pull a statue. Michael suddenly stopped moving. Sarah finally looked at Michael with a confused look.

"Why?" Sarah asked when she saw Michael looking at her with a small smile.

"Sorry, I mean, that's just not that much it costs but you chose not to buy it and wanted to go somewhere else," Michael said trying to keep his expression off Sarah.

"I can buy that, wifey," he continued and his head started to move toward Sarah.

"Now I'm rich," Michael whispered quietly.

When they got married, Michael chose to live independently and not rely on money from his family. That's why he chose to set up his company, so that he could support his own family.

Although they can't be said to be difficult to the point of not being able to eat, their finances are always sufficient. So at that time he and Sarah had to be as frugal as possible.

"Ah!" Sarah seemed to immediately come to her senses when she heard that. She had almost forgotten about it.

Michael chuckled at Sarah's adorable behavior.

"Then, come on, today's groceries on you because you are already rich," Sarah said smiling and then immediately turned and went to the meat section earlier.

Michael chuckled again at Sarah's words.

After leaving the meat section, Sarah and Michael started walking through the supermarket to see what else they could buy. Slowly their trolley began to fill.

Starting from fruits, to women's products that Sarah wants to use.

"Are you on period?" Michael asked when he saw Sarah picking up a pad. His face looked shocked and disbelieving.

"No, but I just wanna buy it, just in case," said Sarah who didn't notice Michael's facial expression and then put the pads in their trolley.

Come to think of it, her period was a little later than usual, but it seemed like it was due to the stress she had been through these past few weeks.

"Thank goodness," Michael muttered under his breath, sighing with relief.

However, it turned out to still be heard by Sarah. She then looked at Michael in confusion.

"Why do you look relieved like that?" Sarah asked cluelessly.

"Well… that means we can exercise together," Michael replied with a mischievous smile.

Sarah was silent, trying to figure out what Michael meant. It is true she can't exercise when she's on period, but why did Michael say exercise together?

Since when did they exercise together? They're just swimming, and it seems like it's been a week since they last did.

Ah!

"Pervert!" said Sarah rolling her eyes and hitting Michael's arm when she finally realized what the man beside her meant.

Once again Michael just chuckled when he saw his wife's face then started to push back the trolley which was starting to feel heavy..

"Should we buy a snack?" said Michael looking at the shelf containing the snacks and starting to look at it with an interested look.

"No!" Sarah answered briefly and then walked back without looking at the snack rack.

"Okay!" Michael replied obediently then immediately pushed back his trolley and followed Sarah.

"How about these potato chips? Wow! I used to really like it! I had no idea this was still there!" said Michael when he saw the very familiar name of the snack.

"No! Snacks are bad for your brain. Just eat the fruit!" said Sarah firmly.

"Okay!" Michael replied once again obediently even though his face turned several times to look at the snack packaging, as if he didn't want to be separated from him.

Sarah who realized that finally sighed.

"Okay, but just buy one, okay?" Sarah said, finally choosing to give in. Come to think of it, right now she looks like a mother who forbids her child to eat snacks.

She doesn't even have kids but she's already acting like that!

Michael's face immediately broke into a wide smile. He then let go of the trolley and took one snack and filled it in their cart.

Sarah just shook her head at Michael's behavior like a child.

The two of them then resumed their walk, trying to look around and wondering if there was anything else they could buy, after feeling that everything had already been bought, they finally decided to go to the cashier.

Suddenly, Sarah again felt like pulling a statue. Michael remains still again.

"What is it?" Sarah asked, giving Michael a confused look, then looking in the direction Michael was looking at.

It was a clothing store, to be more precise, clothes for children.

"Why are you looking at a children's clothing store?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"Doesn't that pink dress look pretty?" said Michael suddenly without turning to look at Sarah. He was still fascinated by the pink dress.

Sarah frowned, then turned to the dress Michael was referring to. It did look very pretty, but it was a dress that a three or four year old could probably wear.

"Wifey, should we have a daughter?" Michael asked then turned to Sarah, his face serious.

"What?" Sarah asked, slightly taken aback by Michael's sudden remark.

"I mean, to be honest, I've always preferred boys, because apart from boys being able to carry on my family name, I thought we could play games together, like my dad and I," Michael said, explaining why he would actually prefer to have boys.

"But it looks like girls aren't bad either. She will definitely look adorable and cute. If we don't delay having children, maybe our children are already that big and we can buy them a beautiful dress like that," said Michael again looking at the dress with a smile.

Sarah was silent when she listened to Michael's explanation. Did Michael really want to have a child?

Well… actually, that's for sure.

However, unfortunately Sarah couldn't give it to him and it made her feel a little guilty.

If they had not put off having children, would their situation have been any different? Could she keep their marriage for the sake of her child despite Michael having an affair with her?

Sarah didn't know, she couldn't answer the question.

"Let's go!" said Michael who came back to his senses that earlier they were going to pay for their groceries.

Sarah finally nodded, then began to follow Michael to the cashier.

Suddenly, from the turn on the right there was something that suddenly passed their trolley quickly, causing Michael to immediately hold the trolley before crashing into the person.

"Are you okay?" Sarah asked immediately, releasing her hand on Michael's arm and checking the person's condition. He is a little boy.

"Doctor," said the little boy when he saw the woman who helped him to his feet.
