Chapter 376 Curse

Today is the second day of Christmas, and that doesn't stop Sarah from having to go to work. She already had the advantage of being able to have Christmas day off, so she had to return to reality.

Once at the hospital, her co-workers greeted her with smiles on their faces, congratulating Sarah on her proposal.

Sarah just blushed with a hot face when she heard that. Apparently, the news really went viral until people found out about it.

Even some of her patients who were quite familiar with her knew about it, and Sarah just smiled at that. Today it looks like she will continue to be asked about it.

It seemed that Sarah's guess was right, suddenly her most excited friend, the blonde doctor, appeared and teased her.

After coming to work here again, Sarah and Steve's relationship was indeed not like in the past, Sarah tried to make boundaries with the man, and Steve seemed to know that he could no longer come to visit Sarah every day, let alone they are in different departments.

Well... they do meet occasionally and still talk as usual, but not like in the past.

However, specifically today, Steve came to her and asked her to have lunch together, as well as to tell him about it.

"Let's take another picture. My followers have increased after I posted my photo with you," Steve said casually.

Sarah snorted at that, but she still nodded her head and posed for Steve's social media feed.

After their brief conversation, Sarah went back to work. Today she has quite a tough operation to do.

"Babe…"

Sarah, who was washing the dishes, flinched slightly when she felt a whisper near her ear. She could then feel Michael's hand that was now hugging her stomach.

"What is it? I'm washing the dishes," Sarah said with a smile on her face. It seemed that even though her tone of voice sounded a bit irritated earlier, her body didn't resist when Michael hugged her like that.

Yes, at this time Sarah really did not make boundaries with Michael anymore. Her old self might have rebelled a bit, even though she liked it. However, after realizing that Michael had the same feelings for her, she had no problem with his touch anymore.

Sarah then looked sideways, looking for her two guards who would usually go berserk when Michael was hugging her like this.

"I set cartoons for them. They'll be busy for a while," Michael said with a big smile when he realized Sarah was looking for the two kids.

Sarah chuckled at that.

"You sneaky," Sarah replied with a big smile.

Why is Michael turning more and more into a sneaky man every day?

However, Sarah likes it.

Michael just smiled at that.

"Here, let me help you," Michael said, then took the plate Sarah had just washed and helped her wipe it with a clean cloth.

"Eh? It's okay. I can do it myself," Sarah refused, quickly taking the plate back.

Maybe because she was used to doing the home chorus on her own, Sarah didn't want Michael to help her.

"It's okay. Two are better than one, right," Michael said with a smile on his face.

Sarah finally decided to give in when she saw Michael who really wanted to help her.

The two of them then started washing the dishes together while occasionally joking with water.

After they finished, the two of them immediately came back and Sarah could see her two kids who looked very focused on watching cartoons on TV. No wonder both of their voices were not heard at all, Michael played Batman.

"Here, you've done a good job," Michael said, giving Sarah a drink of water.

Sarah took it and drank it.

"Babe," Michael called suddenly when Sarah was about to walk into the living room, to accompany her kids.

"How about we go over our talk last night? I think it's the right time," continued Michael with a serious voice and a smile on his face.

Sarah's mouth slightly opened, then nodded her head and changed direction to the dining table and sat in front of Michael who had sat down first.

"So… What do you want to discuss?" Sarah asked with a smile.

It seemed Michael really wanted to talk to her. He even plays cartoons for the kids, and helps her with the dishes.

"Well… I want to talk about our wedding. What do you think about that? How do you want to do it?" asked Michael seriously.

"Hmm…" Sarah paused to hear the question again. Her brain then tried to think what she should do with her second wedding.

Right, one might say that marriage is once in a lifetime, but it turns out she had to do it twice, even if it was with the same groom.

"I… I don't know, Michael," Sarah replied, shaking her head with an apologetic smile.

Even though this wasn't her first experience, she was really confused about how to do it the second time.

She never even thought Michael would want to remarry her. Never mind getting married, Michael proposing to her still feels like a dream.

So, Sarah had not had time to think about it. It had only been two days since Michael had proposed, and in all this time, Sarah's mind had not been there.

"You must have thought of something, right? Let me hear your idea," said Sarah, who finally chose to ask Michael.

After all, the man had tried to create a situation so that the two of them could talk.

Sarah was sure that Michael had something in mind. Well… compared to her, who just found out that Michael wanted to propose to her two days ago, that man must have planned this from long ago, right?

He must have had an idea about that, right?

"Hmmm… I do have it," Michael answered honestly.

After deciding how he should propose to Sarah, Michael immediately thought about what their wedding would be like.

"Let's talk about the wedding date first. Do you want a different date, or the same date as our wedding date?" asked Michael seriously.

Compared to other things, according to Michael this is the most important thing.

"Ohh…" Sarah opened her mouth hearing that. She was a little surprised.

When she recalled it, she and Michael were married in the early spring. She didn't expect Michael to still remember that.

"What do you think about that?" asked Sarah back, eager to hear Michael's questions.

"I want to ask your opinion, stop asking back!" Michael said in a sulky tone.

Sarah chuckled at that.

"All right, all right," Sarah replied with a smile.

"I think we should do it on the same date," Sarah said after a few moments of trying to think about it.

"You don't want to do it on another date?" asked Michael who could not hide his surprised expression.

To be honest, he thought Sarah wanted to do it on another date. Maybe on a cute date next year. Well… just like people do now.

However, Michael didn't expect that Sarah wanted to do it on the same date as their wedding date.

Sarah's forehead wrinkled when she saw Michael's slightly exaggerated expression.

"Why are you acting like that? What's wrong with that date?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"Ah! I'm sorry," Michael said, then controlled himself again.

"I mean… That… Hmm… Don't you think that date is bad?" Michael said in a low voice, almost a whisper. "Maybe that date is cursed so our marriage didn't last long," he continued.

Sarah rolled her eyes when she heard what Michael had just said.

Was Michael really saying that? She didn't expect that Michael would believe such things.

"Isn't that a strong reason we have to do it on that date?" asked Sarah back.

"Eh?" Michael looked confused. If that date was cursed, why did they have to do it on that date? Shouldn't they be avoiding it?

"This time, we will show that we can fight against the curse," Sarah replied with a smile on her face.

Michael's lips immediately curved into a smile when he heard that.

"Ohh… it's so smooth. My heart is pounding a bit," said Michael who could not hide his pleasure.

It sounds good.

This time, they will pass everything, including the curse.

Sarah just laughed at that.

"Okay, so I guess the wedding date is set?" asked Sarah again to confirm.

Michael nodded. After hearing that, he couldn't choose another date anymore.

"The date has been set. Next, we will discuss how many people we will invite and where," said Michael, saying the next thing they needed to discuss.

"I think, how about..."

"Michael," Sarah cut in suddenly before Michael could continue.

"Yes? What is it?" asked Michael, a little surprised by that.

He thought Sarah would ask him to say his opinion first like before, that's why he wanted to speak first.

"Can we just do a small wedding?" Sarah asked with a pleading expression on her face. "This may sound selfish, but I don't want to be with people I don't know at all, or have to send you off to talk to your business partner."
