Sarah was silent for a while as the little boy called her a doctor even though she didn't currently wear the attributes that made her look like a doctor. Come to think of it, the little boy's face was a little familiar.
"Jimmy! Are you all right?"
Sarah turned when she heard a woman's voice sounding worried, while the little boy she had been holding, immediately freed himself as soon as he heard his mother's voice.
"Yeah! I'm fine, mom!" replied the little boy with a giggle. His eyes showed mischief.
"Ahh… I don't know why you can be this naughty, it seems you got it from your dad," said the woman with a sigh of despair at her son's misbehavior.
She then finally looked at the couple who seemed to have been bothered by her son, but suddenly the expression on her face immediately changed to surprise.
"Sarah? I didn't expect to see you here!" said the woman in surprise.
"It was the doctor who visited mom that time!" said the little boy, pointing at Sarah.
Now Sarah understood why she seemed to have seen the little boy before, it was the child of her friend at the obstetrician. She saw him when she wanted to use contraception.
"Hello, I didn't expect to see you here either," said Sarah with a friendly smile.
Although the two of them are actually not close because they are in different departments, occasionally the two greet each other.
"So you came shopping with your mom, huh? You should just walk, you don't have to run around like that," said Sarah, bending slightly again so that she could be at the level of the child's height. Her tone was friendly with a smile on her face.
From the start, Sarah really liked children.
The little boy nodded, then began to giggle again.
"By the way, who ..." the woman asked with curiosity look when she saw the man behind Sarah was silent, as if waiting for Sarah.
In fact she could guess that it might be Sarah's boyfriend because Sarah suddenly wanted to use contraception, but she wanted to hear it directly from Sarah.
Sarah stayed where she was when she heard that.
Oh right! She's shopping with Michael!
Sarah immediately stood up and looked at Michael who was watching the little boy, or rather Sarah and the little boy's interaction, before finally turning to the woman when asked that.
"Ah! He… He's my cou…"
"Hi, I'm Michael," Michael cut in quickly and then immediately extended one hand towards the woman to shake her hand.
The woman then took Michael's hand and introduced her name.
"I'm Sarah's husband," Michael continued when his hand was already shaking hers.
The woman was a little surprised by Michael's words, reflexively she immediately looked at Sarah who was looking at her while smiling awkwardly.
"Seems like Sarah looks embarrassed that she didn't invite me to her wedding," the woman thought when she saw Sarah looking so awkward.
"Ah! So you are Sarah's husband!" replied the woman with a shy smile.
She seemed to have guessed wrong all along, thinking Sarah had a boyfriend and didn't want to get pregnant yet.
It turned out that the woman already had a husband, and perhaps they didn't want to have any more children.
"Then, we will go first. Jimmy! Let's apologize once again to aunt and uncle," said the woman looking at her son who seemed to have wanted to run away but couldn't because he was holding his hand.
The little boy who had been looking around him immediately looked back at Michael and Sarah and apologized.
"You have to be careful and listen to your mom," Sarah said softly, while Michael behind her just smiled at the boy's behavior who seemed to be planning something.
The woman and the little boy then quickly said goodbye and walked past Michael and Sarah because they still had something to buy.
After the two of them left, Sarah's face immediately turned into one of panic.
What should she do? Someone at work found out about Michael!
Even though the woman was in a different department with her, they were still in the same workplace and exchanged greetings several times.
"Wifey? Let's go!" said Michael as Sarah still stood where she was and didn't follow him to the cash register.
Sarah looked at Michael who was waiting for her, an unintentionally annoyed expression released by her.
Why did Michael introduce himself as her husband? What if her coworker told someone else what she saw today?
Even though Sarah wasn't sure if she was the gossip type, Sarah was still worried.
Meanwhile, Michael's forehead wrinkled when he saw Sarah's annoyed expression.
"What's wrong?" Michael asked confusedly when Sarah finally walked beside him.
"Nothing," Sarah replied curtly and coldly. He didn't even look at Michael.
"What's wrong?" asked Michael again. Insisted. "Are you mad at me?" Michael was confused.
Aside from her curt reply and cold demeanor, Sarah didn't even hold his arm anymore!
Sarah did not answer and chose to queue in silence, now her mind was filled with bad thoughts about her coworkers who finally found out that she was married.
"Looks like she doesn't know Michael, so at least it won't be that bad," Sarah thought, trying to remember how her coworker had reacted when she saw Michael.
There didn't seem to be any overreaction, so zhe should be safe.
Even so, Sarah was still worried.
Meanwhile, Michael looked at Sarah who was silent at this time. His mind wondered why Sarah was suddenly angry with him.
He wanted to ask for it, but right now they were queuing up and it was still in a public place, better not to make a scene here.
Not long after, it was finally their turn to pay at the cashier, Sarah and Michael helping out with their groceries, but Sarah still give him cold shoulder.
When Michael finished paying, Sarah immediately walked into the parking lot, allowing Michael to push the trolley back into the parking lot.
After she arrived at Michael's car, Sarah stood still, waiting for Michael to start the car, then opened the trunk of the car and started putting their groceries away.
When putting their groceries in the trunk, Michael occasionally saw Sarah's face, the woman still looked annoyed.
But… Why does she look upset? What did he do wrong?
After returning the trolley, Michael immediately got into his car. Sarah was waiting for him inside with her back to him.
"Wifey, what's wrong?" asked Michael who couldn't bear to ask anymore. Now they were in the car and it seemed fine to discuss it.
p "Nothing. Just start the car," Sarah replied, still staring out the window.
"What is it?" Michael asked with a stern voice, insisting. He couldn't stand seeing Sarah treat him like this.
"Why are you mad at me after we met your friend?" continued Michael.
Sarah's attitude changed since they met her friend.
"Are you mad at me that I introduced myself as your husband?"
