Doctor Step-Uncle, Be My Husband Chapter 41
Sarah’s POvThat afternoon was a weekend when I was free from my work routine. After breakfast this morning, I went upstairs to my room and did what I wanted. In between, I was a bit lazy by lying on my bed, which always called me to be on it, and snuggling with the blanket. If I look at the cloudy weather outside, it's like it's giving me an excuse to keep hiding under the blanket. "It's fine, I don't have any urgent work either," I muttered, giving myself a reason to relax. There was nothing that really urged me to move anyway. The matter of my divorce was even just pending in the next week.What happened that day and afterward, I wanted to plan only after the verdict to be more relieved and feel free with my completely changed status. But the knock on the door that came to my ears made my body move from the middle of the bed and get off. "Yes, just a moment." My voice answered her as I walked over to the door and straightened my hair. "What's wrong?" I asked the man behind the doo

Sarah’s PoV"You want us to have a date at this place?" I chuckled in front of him. We were in front of a movie theatre crowded on weekends by couples of all ages.I don't know how many times I've seen several pairs of people holding hands while walking with happy facial expressions, looking sweet together, walking with their laughter and jokes. It's not that I'm jealous, it's just that I feel a bit strange imagining myself doing the same thing with them, but the difference is that they are living the relationship sincerely, while I'm just pretending, but it has to be convincing.I don't know how. It was too awkward for me to force myself to do all that. Moreover, I really had no experience dating anyone. With Alex? The times he took my hand while walking together were the only times when people were watching, and even then, he looked like someone who was forced to hold me. Why did I only notice that expression now? After all this time? What a fool I was."Yes, why is there a problem?

Sarah’s POVI smiled at the thought of Donna, earlier when she saw Ethan ,she complimented him on his amazing looks, but what would happen? What would she say, and what would her reaction be if she found out that Ethan was the boss at work, the man whose rumours were talked about by all the office employees, the person she considered disabled.He would have been shocked, perhaps frozen in place, speechless, or even in disbelief. "You know Donna?" I turned to the man again as I led him out of the café since we were done there."Your friend from earlier?" He pulled my hand back into his grip.I nodded my head while walking out of the cafe. "Yes, but other than that, she's also your employee at the office." I noticed that the man was silent and just listening without any meaningful expression on his face except that he was listening and watching his surroundings while I was walking as if anticipating something that might approach and intrude on me. "You didn't know that?"He nodded. "I k

Sarah’s POV"Come on." I invited him to move from there without looking directly into his eyes. My heart was still beating noisily at this moment, creating a restlessness in me that was a little difficult to overcome.The stares of the people watching us walk together with me carrying a large bouquet of flowers in my hand made it more conspicuous and stole their attention towards me, I could hear them faintly whispering about how lucky I was to be treated so special by him, and some of them stared with smiles and whispered about things I couldn't hear but from the way they looked at me, with warm smiles making me feel embarrassed and hid even more, covering my face with the bouquet I was carrying."Ethan, come quickly." I insisted by pulling his hand. The man looked at me with confusion on his face."Where are we going? Is there anything else you want to do?" He asked me as he approached.I slowly started to slow down my footsteps and kept pace with him. "Where else? Haven't we done e

Sarah’s POV"I have to tell him first." I left my room quickly to the next room to approach Ethan. I knocked on his door several times until it opened and revealed himself in the doorway."What's wrong?" He waited for me in the doorway of his half-open room. Waiting for me to tell him what I needed to do since I rarely knocked on his door."Em...." I felt a little reluctant to invite someone to come here since this was his house, even though he said that Lira could go anytime to see me. "My friend, Lira, wants to come to see how I'm doing. Is it okay if I let her come?" I looked at his expressionless face.When he nodded, I felt relieved. "Sure, she can even stay over if she wants. I don't mind at all. You're free to invite your friends, even without asking my permission first." He responded casually.I held a smile on my lips with her answer, which left me satisfied. "In that case, thank you." I pointed to my room. "Then I'm going back to my room."Ethan nodded his head and I hurried

Sarah’s POV "What else has happened since you've moved to this place? How has your relationship progressed more precisely? I'm curious." Lira nudged my arm while revealing a smile on her flat teeth, hiding behind her half-open lips.I snorted with laughter as I averted my eyes from her. The more I dodged, the closer she got to me and left me with no opening to escape from her who was now starting to tickle my stomach."Tell me I made you unable to speak." She insisted."Alright, alright." I took her hand away from me and straightened my sitting position. "What happened in this place after I moved here wasn't really much." I fixed the position of the glasses for no reason, just to make my eyes focus without having to look at Lira alone. I still didn't want to tell her about our relationship status, which was an agreement.Lira mustn't know or she'll go back to worrying about me, she'll go back to being sad because she thinks that my life hasn't changed. Although that wasn't entirely t

Sarah’s POV"What's wrong?" I kept seeing her smiling while walking with my hand. I knew that she was in a good mood, but it felt like this smile was teasing me, and I couldn't resist asking her.Lira turned to me with an even bigger smile on her face. "Isn't she very loyal to you?"So, Ethan was the reason her smile had kept appearing on her lips since getting out of the car. I averted my eyes from him. "I don't know, I don't really think about it." I didn't know what to say. I still felt unworthy of receiving these kinds of luxurious things from Ethan.I vowed not to take advantage of him because this relationship was an agreement only. I realized that I shouldn't harm him. But... that guy just kept making the boundaries set by the line fade away because of his actions. He constantly appeared, offering various things that weakened me."What do you know? Don't you realize that his attitude is very considerate of you? It's like he's showing that he wants to be your provider. Having a

Sarah’s POVAlex looked at me in disbelief. "There's no way you have that much money." Her eyelids opened perfectly. "No matter if you work, five million dollars is a lot. You can't possibly have that."This man was indeed looking down on me. Such a large sum? I can't possibly have it? Of course I have more than that amount of money in my savings, I have value. The company I work for appreciates me well. They pay me a decent amount so I can live a decent life.Maybe all this time, she thought of wealth and comfort. Little did she know that I wasn't after anything from her. I could live well without his money and just rely on my salary, but I stayed because I loved him.Because I was too stupid and expected it, it took me too long to realize that the man I loved was trash.I snorted, my eyebrows twitching angrily. "You don't know anything about me!" It was obvious.How could he know if he had never noticed me all this time? He ignored me like I was never a part of his life. What did sh

Sarah's POV“What do you think of the dress?” I twirled before Lira, who sat casually in her chair, nibbling on something.Lira’s eyes carefully assessed me from head to toe with a serious expression. Then, she motioned with her hand for me to turn around and show the other side. Only after doing so she nodded approvingly. “You look perfect,” she praised me with a satisfied smile.She got up from her seat and walked over to me, her hands gently adjusting a few strands of my hair that were out of place, making me look slightly untidy.“There’s no one more beautiful than you,” she effortlessly complimented me again.I chuckled softly at her words. Then, I turned to face the mirror, seeing myself wrapped in a white mermaid-style satin gown that beautifully accentuated my figure.The dress looked stunning with a long skirt and an elegantly open top. I truly loved it, but I couldn’t help feeling a little self-conscious. “But don’t you think it’s a bit too much?” I asked.From behind me, Ly

Ethan's POV After finishing our meal together, Sarah once again disappeared from sight. I’m sure she’s busy with Edmund now. That little boy has stolen his mother from me. No matter what or where Edmund is her priority, I feel my position has been shifted."Sir, would you like me to prepare some tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head, intending to return to work for a while, but I changed my mind this time. "No need. Have you seen where Sarah is?""Miss Sarah is in Master Edmund's room, sir. She's putting him to sleep," Emy replied promptly.I figured she'd be there. I remember telling her that Edmund should get used to sleeping in his room. After all, he's old enough. But Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until he fell asleep.I then moved toward Edmund's room, right next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah as soon as I entered.I hugged her tightly from behind while gazing at our sleeping son. I rested my chin between Sarah’s shoulder and neck and kissed her s

Ethan povAs soon as they finished eating together, Sarah did not show herself again, to the point that I am sure she must also be busy with Edmund this time. The little boy stole his mother from me, so now, whatever it is and wherever it is, Edmund is her priority, and my position has shifted."Master want me to prepare tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head. I had originally planned to go back to work for a while, but this time, I canceled my intention. "No need. Where did you see Sarah?""Miss Sarah is in Mr. Edmund's room, sir. she was putting him to sleep." Emy replied immediately.I thought she must be there. I remember telling her to get used to Edmund going to his own bedroom; after all, Edmund was old enough, but Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until Edmund fell asleep.I then moved there, walking to the room next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah just as I entered Edmund's room.I walked up to her even though I hugged him from behind. Looking at our

Ethan povAfter Sarah went downstairs to the inn, she needed to stay until her condition completely recovered after giving birth. I was in the room with her still holding her hand and stroking her gently."Do I look ugly?" she suddenly asked about it.I moved my eyebrows up silently, smiling, and shook my head slowly, denying her words. "It's not at all that you always look beautiful in my eyes, yesterday, today, and whenever; it doesn't matter what happens."My eyes looked at her with a gentle glint, and then my hand moved slowly, caressing her hair. Sarah, who just a few hours ago faced the Biggest Thing in her life, looks very beautiful in my eyes right now. You could say she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. No woman could match her beauty; she was perfect for me."Does it feel so painful?" I looked at her with a fixed gaze and rubbed her cheeks slowly.The woman lying weakly on the bed shook her head slightly. She still looked helpless. "I'm not sure what it would be l

Ethan's POV"Sarah, what's going on? What happened?" I panicked and rushed into the bathroom after hearing her cry. I found Sarah bracing herself against the wall, visibly in pain, stretching her arms.I quickly turned off the faucet, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around her. She clung to me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. "I think I'm having contractions... I think it's time.""Time to give birth?" I looked at her, shocked.Even though we had prepared everything and eagerly anticipated this day, I still felt nervous when it finally arrived. I had researched what to do when Sarah went into labor, preparing myself as best as possible.But what you think and face are two very different things. My mind went utterly blank, overwhelmed with panic and fear. I repeatedly took deep breaths to calm myself as I helped Sarah get dressed."Okay, we’re heading to the hospital now. I’m taking you there." Once she was dressed, I lifted her and carried her downstairs, gently placing her in

Sarah's POVEthan immediately adjusted everything accordingly when I heard that we were having a boy. He called the decorators to prepare the room with a baby boy theme.Blue, white, and yellow dominated his chosen colors for the room's design. "Do you like it?" he glanced at me as I stood at the doorway.Meanwhile, Ethan was inside, moving around to arrange everything. He forbade me from entering, saying the smell of the paint was still too strong and could bother my senses. He was right. Even from a distance, I could still see the pungent paint fumes.I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I love it. I'm sure our little one will love it too. If he knew his dad prepared all of this for him, he’d be so happy."During my pregnancy, Ethan seemed happy, but his emotions during the first and second trimesters were quite complex. He was joyful, yet at the same time, he looked anxious, worried, and full of confusion. He expressed his concerns by forbidding me from doing many things and becoming overly

Sarah POV “Good morning, Miss Sarah. How are you today?” The doctor who regularly manages my pregnancy greeted me with her usual friendly demeanor.I smiled in response. “I’m good, Doctor,” I replied, pulling a chair across from her.The doctor began by reviewing my previous pregnancy reports. “Any complaints recently, Miss? How’s your pregnancy going?” she asked, briefly meeting my gaze before returning to the documents.Lately, there haven't been as many issues as the first and second trimesters. Both those stages were incredibly challenging. In the first trimester, I lost a lot of weight, which caused Ethan to panic.During the second trimester, though the severe nausea had subsided, my body still took a long time to adjust.But now, I could smile and answer, “No complaints, Doctor. Everything’s been fine with the pregnancy lately, though it’s getting a bit hard to move around.”The doctor smiled again. “That’s because the baby is growing healthily, and the weight has increased.”

Sarah POV "It seems we have to head back now," the devil beside me whispered softly, kissing my forehead after he finished his phone call. He had just received another call from Luke. I overheard a bit of it, and it sounded li ke something urgent at the office required Evan's presence. From what I know, they're signing a new project, and it might be the one that needs Ethan's direct attention. Well, to be fair, he's been on vacation for quite a while now. He took time off earlier to care for me after that incident with Diana's appearance. Before that, he also took an extended vacation when we went to an island, thinking I'd get bored staying home. Ethan's been spoiling me in many ways, but it's time for him to return to work. I gently stroked his face. "Yes, besides, we've been on vacation long enough. Have you contacted Elda to tell her not to follow us?" I suddenly remembered our personal chef, Elda, whose cooking made this trip even more delightful. She was never disappointed;

Sarah POV -“Do you not have a good relationship with James?” I turned to him as he opened the door for me.He glanced at me briefly. “Why do you ask?” He guided me inside carefully, still faithfully holding my hand and supporting my body.I shook my head lightly. “It’s nothing, I’m just curious. You two don’t seem to communicate well. Every time you start talking, it sounds like you're trying to punch and counter each other, then move on to the next attack.”I heard him chuckle softly. “Does it really sound like that?”I nodded. “Yes, it sounds like that and it looks like that. But strangely, your conversations go smoothly. You ask, and he answers, explains, and gives information. I thought he was really neglecting Grace.”I sighed, thinking it would have been the worst if that were true. But thankfully, it wasn’t, even though I had already misunderstood James. I thought he wasn’t a good father, but I didn’t know what he’d been through, what he’d done to raise his daughter alone and
