Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband-Chapter 55 Poor Girl

It's not like Sarah has feelings for Steve, or hopes to date Steve. It's just.. for some reason Sarah wanted to explain that there was no way she and Steve could be together.

Actually, not only with Steve but with all the other men.

What happened to Mrs. Collins was quite an impression on Sarah's heart, how she looked at her with disdain because she was an orphan living in an orphanage, and it was one of the reasons why Sarah didn't remarry or try to have a new relationship.

Sarah knew that she shouldn't have thought like that, because only Mrs. Collins behaved like that to her, while Mr. Collins was very, very kind to her.

However, it seems that it left quite a trauma in her heart, and made her afraid to have a new relationship, well… unless the man was already an orphan like her.

But there's no way Sarah would ask if the man was an orphan before deciding to date him, right?

So, she better shut herself off. After all, it was painful to be hated by the parents of the man she loved.

Mrs. Brown looked surprised when she heard Sarah's words, making Sarah smile slightly when she saw that. Now the rich woman would definitely not look friendly to her anymore.

But Mrs. Brown's subsequent reaction took Sarah by surprise! The woman suddenly hugged her tightly.

"Poor girl, you must have been through a lot," said Mrs Brown, sounding very sad. Even though she didn't know what had happened to Sarah all this time, she must have been through a lot. She could empathize with Sarah.

This made Sarah a little flustered. What happened? This was not the reaction she had in mind.

Suddenly, something warm was felt by Sarah. The old woman's embrace was very warm and touched her heart which had grown cold all this time.

"Mrs. Brown..." Sarah said, trying to get out of the old woman's arms, but Mrs. Brown continued to tighten her hug and even started sobbing.

Sarah no longer tried to let go of the hug and let Mrs. Brown hug her, her eyes suddenly started to water as Mrs. Brown hugged her tighter and kept telling her everything would be fine.

Sarah's tears couldn't be held back any longer when she heard that. After leaving the orphanage to go to college, Sarah always did it alone.

Even though she got a scholarship, Sarah had to earn her own money by working part-time to make ends meet.

At first, she thought everything would be fine once she married Michael, even though her mother-in-law hated her, now she has her own little family and is living together with the man she loves.

But it only lasted a moment, before she was back to being alone, and had to try alone again.

Her life seemed to be filled with hardships, and this was the first time Sarah had heard anyone comforting her, and it was by an old woman. For some reason, it felt like her mother was comforting her to say that everything would be okay.

The two women cried for a long time, luckily they were currently on the inside which only had one seat, only for VIP customers handled by Mrs. Brown.

"Why are you crying?"

Mrs. Brown immediately came to her senses when she heard Sarah crying too. She then immediately released the hug and wiped Sarah's tears.

"The make-up is a mess, stop crying," said Mrs. Brown, sobbing and tears still streaming down her cheeks.

Sarah's cries grew louder when she saw this, causing Mrs. Brown to hug her again and pat her on the back.

After a few minutes, Sarah had calmed down a bit, and suddenly a sense of shame overtook her. How could she cry like that in front of Steve's mother? This is so embarrassing! 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

Mrs. Brown immediately let go of her arms when she no longer heard Sarah's crying voice, with a friendly expression on her face, she again wiped Sarah's tears.

"What happened? You're not done yet?"

Steve's voice made Sarah and Mrs. Brown turn their heads to the side, and saw Steve who was already in a suit with a black dress in his hand.

"It's nothing," Mrs. Brown replied with a smile and then looked at Sarah meaningfully. Sarah just smiled when she heard that.

Steve just looked at the two women confusedly before finally hanging the dress he had chosen on the coat hanger that was there.

"Please hurry, mother. We're already late!" Steve said then looked at his watch.

"Yes yes! Just go! Have someone do your hair and wait for Sarah!" Mrs. Brown scolded her son.

Steve just nodded before finally leaving to follow his mother's orders.

A few minutes later, Sarah's make-up and hair were done. Sarah looked at her reflection in the mirror and wondered if this beautiful looking woman was her.

"Do you like it?" asked Mrs. Brown.

Sarah nodded.

"Very! You are very talented, Mrs. Brown. I can't even believe that this is me!" said Sarah looking amazed.

Mrs. Brown smiled with satisfaction when she heard that.

"Then ... it's time for us to complete your appearance tonight," said Mrs. Brown and then walked to take the black dress that had been previously selected by Steve.

"Woah…"

Steve's mouth opened wide when he saw Sarah's appearance tonight. His eyes seemed to show admiration. The dress he chose earlier looked very beautiful on Sarah's body.

"You are really pretty! Woah…" Steve said in awe and couldn't help but keep saying Sarah was very beautiful.

Sarah smiled shyly when she heard that.

Actually, she was a little reluctant to wear an off shoulder dress like this because she thought it was very sexy and didn't suit her, but once she put it on, it looked so good on her, even the size felt so right, it made Sarah wonder how Steve knew her size.

"This child! Do you have to look like that in front of your mother?" said Mrs. Brown when she saw the expression on Steve's face, there was a hint of jealousy in her heart when she saw her son.

"Well… I can't help it. Sarah looks really pretty tonight!" said Steve who did not hesitate to compliment Sarah.

Sarah just smiled shyly when she heard that.

"Let's go, we're late!" said Sarah then immediately pulled Steve to leave.

Steve nodded then immediately said goodbye and thanked his mother.

"Sarah!" called Mrs. Brown when Steve and Sarah were about to leave her salon.

"Sometimes, we should have dinner together," she continued with a friendly smile.
