Chapter 131 Still Single

James gasped. Once again the question from Michael made his brain unable to function as usual.

He felt really stupid right now.

"That…"

"I'll let you know later if I decide to go or not, but please prepare a proper gift for them," Michael cut in, then quickly averted his eyes and grabbed the door handle to his room.

Without waiting for an answer from James, Michael entered his room and closed the door.

Actually, he didn't need to hear an answer from James. The man's reaction could already give him an answer.

Michael then immediately walked to his leather chair. He sat back and closed his eyes. His right hand is seen massaging his temple

"I've never been to an event with Sarah? But why?" thought Michael, really, really confused at this point.

As a doctor, Sarah may have to operate at night.

However, during this one month, Sarah was not that busy.

She did get a few calls in the night, but there were also days where Sarah could relax and not get a call.

But he never took Sarah with him?

There are so many events he could attend, but he never took Sarah with him?

Michael immediately opened his eyes and adjusted his position to sit straight.

No way, he must have taken Sarah with him!

Michael's hand then immediately held his computer mouse and opened the browser and then directed his cursor to the search box.

[Michael Collins and Sarah Collins]

Nowadays, although he is not a celebrity, his name is quite well known in the business industry. Michael was sure he and Sarah had appeared in an article at least once.

However, Michael's forehead wrinkled when the search results did not come out according to what he wanted to look for.

Michael's fingers then rested on the keyboard, writing a new word in the search box.

[Michael Collins and his wife]

Once again, Michael's forehead creased as no search results came out.

"Don't they know Sarah?" thought Michael in bewilderment. Felt that this search result was a little strange.

But with this, Michael came to understand that he and Sarah most likely never appeared at a public event together.

He didn't know why it was like that, he'd better ask Sarah about it later.

When Michael's hand holding the mouse was about to close the browser he was opening, Michael's hand suddenly stopped when his eyes caught a text that appeared.

[Michael Collins, a young businessman with a net worth of 2 Billion USD, is still single!]

Michael's eyes widened when he saw the contents of the article. It was in the news two years ago.

"Am I single? What kind of bullshit is this?" said Michael irritably.

If it was two years ago, it would mean that he had recently become the leader of Collins and led Collins into one of the big companies.

But he claims to be single?

Michael's hand then immediately grabbed the intercom that was on his desk, ready to call James.

However, just as his hand was about to press the button to summon James, Michael stopped where he was.

For some reason, at this moment he felt he couldn't just trust James.

Michael then immediately took his cellphone which was on the table and looked for someone's contact. After he found it, he immediately called the number.

On his cellphone screen immediately showed the words Calling Dad…

Not long after, his father picked up the phone and Michael immediately asked if his father knew about his status as single.

Compared to his mother, Michael really trusts his father.

However, Michael had to swallow his disappointment when his father sounded surprised, then said that it was his father's idea because at that time Michael was getting attention.

His father lied to him!

He knew his father, his father couldn't possibly tell him to say something like that when he was married!

"Okay, I understand, dad! Sorry for interrupting your vacation time. If you can, go home as soon as possible, and don't forget to call mom," Michael answered, trying to look calm before finally hanging up the call.

Michael then put his cellphone on the table, and sighed.

Why did his father lie to him?

Michael was really curious.

James seemed to be hiding something from him, and so was his father.

What exactly happened? Why does everyone seem to be lying to him?

***

"Wifey," Michael called as Sarah was walking up to the second floor to go take a shower.

Sarah, who had gone up one of the stairs, immediately stopped and turned to Michael. Her face looked confused.

When Michael had picked her up, Sarah had been silent because she was deep in thought about Michael being engaged, but when she thought about it again, Michael was also silent, not saying anything like usual.

"Yes?"

"Are you on duty tonight?" Michael asked.

Sarah's brow furrowed, this is not like Michael asking if she had to work or not.

"No, but maybe I'll be called in in case of an emergency," Sarah answered.

"Why do you ask?" She continued curiously.

Michael was silent for a moment, looking down, his expression doubtful.

Should he ask Sarah that?

Michael finally lifted his head and looked at Sarah.

"Can you come with me?" Michael asked at last.

"Where to?" asked Sarah who finally climbed down and walked over to Michael. At this time, the man was behaving strangely.

"I got an invitation from my business partner. His daughter is getting married. Can you accompany me?" Michael asked then looked at Sarah.

"Like we usually do?" he added.

Unknowingly, sweat was running down Michael's back, he wondered what Sarah would say.

Everyone seemed to be lying to him. Then… What about his wife?

Michael knew he shouldn't doubt Sarah at this point, but somehow he wanted to test Sarah.

Was there really anyone he could still trust when he doesn't remember anything?

"Do you remember anything?" Sarah asked suddenly, not answering Michael's question right away.

"Eh?" Michael answered confusedly.

"I mean… I never go with you to events like that," Sarah answered slowly and carefully.

She didn't know what Michael was remembering. Did the man remember the memories with his fiancé and think it was her?

However, it would have been better if Sarah told him what had happened.

As Mrs. Collins said, she had not helped Michael at all to remember what the man had forgotten.

So from now on Sarah would try to help him, maybe she would never say that they were divorced, but she would agree and correct if any of Michael's memories were wrong.

"Ah! I see… I think I remembered wrong," Michael replied with a big smile on his face.

He can trust his wife! His wife wasn't lying to him!

Meanwhile, Sarah only smiled sadly in her heart.

Looks like Michael and the woman's relationship is really serious that Michael often brings her to events like that.

"Anyway, can you accompany me to the wedding?" asked Michael, repeating his question one more time. This time, his face looks happy with a big smile.

"They're having a wedding on Monday?" Sarah asked, not answering right away.

She had gone out with Steve at a weekday wedding too, and now Michael had a weekday invite too.

What's wrong with these people?

Michael nodded.

"I don't know why either, but it looks like the bride's friends aren't busy on Monday. Said she was a model," Michael replied, explaining the information he had about Mr. Lamont's daughter.

Sarah just pursed her lips when she heard that.

"So you can come with me, right?" asked Michael again.

Sarah didn't answer immediately, she walked over to the sofa in the living room and sat there immediately. Michael immediately followed her.

"I… don't know, Michael, I think I'll turn it down," Sarah replied with an uneasy smile.

Michael wants to take her out with him at a public event?

Of course she would never come with him!

If she did that, overnight everyone would know right away that she was the wife of Michael Collins, the wealthiest businessman who women were after.

Even though they're divorced, anyway.

Sarah obviously didn't want to do something like that, with Steve and her OBGYN coworker knowing that it scared her, so what would happen if everyone found out?

What she had been doing all along was the wrong thing to do, and Sarah didn't want everyone to know about it.

"Come on! Accompany me! We can all have dinner out! I purposely told the chef that we weren't going to have dinner today," Michael said in a persuasive tone as he held Sarah's hand.

Today, he had prepared that he would take Sarah with him no matter what.

Tonight, everyone should know that he, Michael Collins, is married!

He wanted to introduce Sarah when they had a company event, but it seems like today was not too bad either.

The sooner the better.

Sarah fell silent when she heard Michael trying to persuade her to come with him.

What should she do?
