Steve got out of his car with a confused look on his face. After getting a call from Sarah, Steve immediately came to the location Sarah was referring to. The woman wanted to talk, and so did he.

However, Steve didn't think the location that Sarah had sent him would take him to an orphanage.

Why did Sarah want to meet him here?

Steve then entered the courtyard filled with children playing, the children looked at him curiously, but no one dared to approach him, making Steve feel a little awkward about it.

As soon as he entered the building that was there, he was immediately greeted by a young woman, she seemed to be the caretaker of this orphanage.

"Is there anything I can help you with? Do you want to adopt a child?" asked the woman with a friendly smile on her face. Her cheeks blushed slightly when she finally met Steve's blue eyes. It looks beautiful with his handsome face.

"Ah, no, I'm here to meet…"

Steve didn't finish his words when a woman's voice was heard. He then turned to the source of the voice and saw Sarah walking towards them.

Steve's face involuntarily broke into a smile when he saw the woman in her usual attire. Thankfully the woman was okay.

"He is my guest," Sarah said to the young woman.

The young woman just nodded and then left the two of them.

"Sarah…"

"Let's talk in the backyard," Sarah said, trying to smile and walking first to show the way. What she was going to talk about with Steve was something important, and Sarah didn't want anyone to listen or disturb them.

Steve just nodded and followed the woman. Every now and then he looked around him, how there were many children playing there.

Not long after, they were finally standing in the backyard. Steve looked at Sarah who was just silent while taking her hair which was covering her face from the morning wind.

"Did I make a mistake?" Steve finally decided to ask the question first when Sarah just kept quiet. His voice sounded a little hoarse and nervous. He himself didn't think he would sound like that.

Sarah finally got up the courage to look at Steve when she heard the question. Her heart ached when she heard the man's tone of voice. Was that what Steve thought? He thinks he did something wrong?

"No, Steve. You're not wrong at all. This is all my fault," Sarah said in a low voice and her voice began to tremble.

How could Steve think this was his fault when it was her who was at fault here?

Steve's face looks very confused now. He could see the sad expression on the woman's face and her body began to tremble, like she was about to cry.

Steve's hand then went up, trying to grab the woman's arm and pull her into his arms.

"Sarah!"

Steve's hand that had been raised, immediately dropped back and turned to the source of the voice calling Sarah, his face looked surprised.

So is Sarah. Why is Michael here?

"Hey," Michael greeted as he stood by them. His face looked very awkward. He didn't think he would look this awkward in front of his ex-wife, and possibly his ex-wife's new boyfriend.

"Michael?" Sarah couldn't hide her surprised expression when she saw the man.

Michael, who was looking at Sarah's friend, immediately turned his gaze to Sarah when he heard the woman's voice.

"Can we talk… alone?" Michael asked, trying to look calm even though he was really nervous right now.

Sarah fell silent when she heard this. Her brain immediately thought what Michael wanted to say. Did Michael know about her pregnancy that he came here?

Subconsciously, Sarah's hand immediately moved and grabbed Steve's shirt hem, trying to tell him that she wanted him to stay with her.

Steve's head turned when he felt something holding his shirt, as well as Michael who could see Sarah's reaction.

It seemed that his guess that this man was Sarah's new boyfriend might be right.

Steve's hand then moved and held Sarah's hand, before slowly releasing it from his clothes.

"I'll give you time to talk," Steve said with a smile. He then turned to Sarah who looked a little scared.

"I'll be waiting there, and I can see you from there. Don't worry," Steve said softly then stroked Sarah's head to calm her down a bit, while showing Michael that his relationship with Sarah was close enough to make him stroke her head.

"Thanks, man," Michael said as Steve looked back at him. Michael was grateful that he would give him a chance to talk to Sarah alone.

Steve just nodded and quickly walked away from there.

Now, there were only two people who had ever loved each other in that backyard. They stared at each other without uttering a single word.

"What do you want, Michael?!" Sarah asked in a cold tone. Her hands then subconsciously tried to cover her stomach, hoping Michael didn't realize that she was currently pregnant.

"I… I'm sorry, Sarah," Michael said quietly.

"I've met dad, and he told me what happened," he continued.

Sarah's eyes widened when she heard that. Looks like her guess was right, Michael would come looking for her at her work and the man met Mr Collins there.

"I see. Then why did you come here? You already know what happened. I didn't do it to get pleasure from you!" said Sarah coldly.

The memories of that night are still vivid in her mind. How Michael thought that she was doing this to get pleasure from him.

"I know. I apologize. I'm such an asshole," Michael said in a low voice, one hand then tried to hold Sarah's hand, but Sarah quickly walked away.

"Just go, Michael! If you came here feeling guilty about it. Just forget it. We're over" said Sarah who was still on the defensive.

She wanted to immediately tell Michael to get out of here, the man must not know that she is currently pregnant!

Michael was silent when he heard Sarah's words. Did she hate him that much? Well, after what he did, Michael knew that Sarah is right to be like that.

But…

"I know you're angry, but I've been wrong all along, Sarah. I misunderstood you," said Michael thinking that he should tell Sarah this.

He knew that this might not change everything, but Michael hoped, even if the odds were slim. It could fix his relationship with Sarah.

"I thought you were cheating on me."
