Steve's mouth opened slightly when he heard what Anna had just said. He… couldn't say anything. It was the first time a woman had said something like this to him.
As a man, Steve never even looked this confident. He did go after the divorced woman like Sarah, but he never said anything like he would make Sarah forget her ex.
Anna is… not an ordinary woman. She's confident.
The woman even said that if she felt him to be the right person, that means, if he wasn't the right person for her, then she wouldn't start a relationship with her.
Wow… Steve really lost for a word.
"You really are brave. I know that before I was wrong to think you came to your ex's wedding who married your friend, but you are really brave," said Steve shaking his head.
"I'll take it as a compliment. Thank you," Anna replied calmly and took another sip of her drink.
"Oh, don't get me wrong. That's a compliment," said Steve, immediately raising his hand and shaking it when he heard Anna's tone.
"I know."
Once again Steve was rendered speechless by this woman's attitude.
"Then I'll go first. Looks like I'm about to get drunk and might do something stupid. Thank you for the drink," said Anna and stood up.
She had come to see Steve, and had already told him how she felt. There was no other reason for her to linger here because she could actually go back to kissing him again.
Steve just stood there and nodded. The woman really wanted him to pay for the drink, but it didn't matter to him at all.
"Oh right."
Steve suddenly turned around when he heard Anna's voice and saw that the woman was staring at him.
"Call me! Whatever decision you make. Call me." After saying that, Anna immediately left the bar with an uncertain feeling.
Steve just sighed when he saw Anna's back getting further away, he could see that the woman was walking a little wobbly, but Steve decided to stay seated and not approach the woman.
He didn't want to create a situation where the woman could be misunderstood even more.
"What should I do? Hah." Steve sighed. He did get a little better with Anna's arrival, but he didn't know that she would add something to his thoughts.
He really didn't know what to do!
***
Not only Steve, the other three people also seemed to be thinking about a lot of things. There were those who thought about what she should do in the future, there were those who thought about what decision that stupid man would make, and there were also those who thought about whether his relationship with that woman was really over.
The four people were in different places and going about their normal activities as if nothing had happened, but deep in their minds, they were thinking about their own problems.
Because of that stupid author!
*EHEM*
Three days later…
Sarah, who was lying down while reading an article about pregnancy on her cellphone, immediately fell silent when her cellphone displayed Steve's name. Without waiting any longer, she immediately picked up the call.
"I've made my decision. Can we meet?"
Sarah looked at the clock on the wall in her room. Looks like Steve just finished work.
"Okay, I'm still at the orphanage," Sarah replied curtly.
"I'll be there soon." After saying that, Steve immediately hung up the call.
Sarah sighed then immediately got out of bed and out of the room Teresa had provided her.
These few days she had indeed decided to stay for a while in this place due to the problems she was facing and she knew that her current mental state was not very stable. She needs someone to be with her.
She had no close friends, nor did she have any family. The only thing Sarah could think about was returning to her orphanage.
She actually felt awkward because she ran away from this place, but there was nowhere else she could go other than this. At least Teresa was nice to her.
Not long after, Sarah could see a car from afar coming and parked in front of her orphanage building. Steve's figure then comes out from the car.
"You were waiting for me outside? You should be waiting inside, you're pregnant, Sarah," Steve said, walking up to the woman with a worried expression.
"I'm fine. It's not too cold tonight and I'm wearing a blanket," Sarah said with a smile. Her feelings warmed a little when she saw Steve's worried face.
Steve is really a nice man.
"Then how about we talk over there?" pointed Sarah towards the swing chair in the orphanage yard.
"Let's just talk in the car if we can't talk inside," Steve suggested.
Even though he didn't feel cold tonight, Sarah was pregnant. What if something happened to the baby?
Sarah nodded her head and followed Steve into his car.
There was silence in the car, the two of them said nothing and lost in their own thoughts.
"Sarah."
Steve was the first to break the silence. He then looked at the woman sitting on the chair beside him, as usual she looked beautiful. Unconsciously Steve's gaze stared at Sarah's stomach, which still looked normal.
One look people might not think that she is pregnant.
Steve then swallowed his saliva. For these few days he kept thinking and finally he had come to his decision.
He loves Sarah. Love her very much. He's had a crush on her since they were in college. However, at that time he did not dare to ask Sarah out because he thought she would reject him because Sarah was a student who received a scholarship and maybe she would say something like: I need to study..
So he decides to be her friend, and thinks he'll confess his feelings when they graduate. However, he had to swallow the bitter truth when he found out that Sarah was married.
Now, after all this time, his feelings for her are still there and are getting stronger. So what if the woman is pregnant? The child has the blood of the woman he loves, and he… will try to love the child too.
"I've made a decision. I'm willing…"
"Steve," Sarah interrupted suddenly, causing Steve to close his mouth again.
"I lied." Steve frowned when he heard the woman's words.
Sarah lied? What does she mean?
Sarah took a deep breath when she saw Steve's reaction. Yeah, this is the right decision
"To be honest… I don't love you, Steve."
