Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 57

Alice frowns and tries to hold back her bitterness from her heart, “You always want to have your own child. Now she is pregnant, besides you two are engaged. So, you’d better get married soon and just leave me alone.”

Edward is so confused.

“You are saying that Joanna is pregnant?” But why does he have no clue?

“Edward, stop pretending. I know you want to take revenge on me. I don’t want to mention what happened in the past. Now, you’ve got Joanna already, but why don’t you just leave me alone?” Alice is bearing the pain of her heart and says that word by word.

The ending is the same no matter when. Alice considers she should move on and it’s time to give up.

“No way! It’s impossible for her to have my child!”

Edward flatly denies it. Alice is shocked first but then laughs out loud. By seeing this, Edward becomes a bit nervous and anxious then explains, “Alice, trust me, I didn’t…”

“Enough!” Alice stands up angrily and stares at him who is flurried then she sneers, “Edward, I feel it so disgusting when I see you are pretending like this. I even feel it sick to look at you!”

Disgusting? Sick?

Edward is deeply hurt when he hears those words. He is shocked and gazes at Alice’s cold face and hatred in her eyes. “Do you really hate me so much?”

“Yes!”

After hearing her answer, he is like a defeated bull and he lows down his head showing out a self-mocking smile. “Nice… Very nice.”

Alice’s heart is aching for him when she hears that. But thinking of Joanna and Janet and what happened to her five years ago, she firm says. “Mr. Smith, I’ve told you. Please leave me alone and never…”

“No way! I won’t give up… Never…” Edward cuts in.

The house of the Hale.

Joanna is so jealousy since Edward left soon after he argued with Janet last night because of Alice. She thinks that Alice is like a haunting ghost and she doesn’t know what she can do to let Alice get away from Edward.

When she is pondering over what she can do to handle it and make Edward fall in love with her, her phone is ringing and it is called from Edward.

Joanna is so delighted and surprised then she answers the phone and she is told to come to his company.

She has no idea what will happen to her later. She does a delicate make-up, dresses up and walks into the SA Group.

“Edward.”

As soon as she walks into Edward’s office, she calls his name flirtatiously. It is so rare for him to ask her to the company so that she must seize the chance.

Edward looks up at him gloomily.

He rarely glances at any woman, let alone the woman he doesn’t like. Though he knows Joanna for six years, it is the first time for him to have such a careful glance at her.

Joanna is shocked when she feels that he is looking carefully at her but then she is delighted with expectations. “Edward, do you want to discuss with me about our wedding?”

She can’t get any idea except that.

However, unlike her who is so excited and joyful, Edward is frowning and he seems like pondering.

Alice mentions twice that Joanna is pregnant with his kid. But he has never had a sex with her. How can that be?

He glances carefully her abdomen and finds that she doesn’t seem like pregnant. Does Alice lie to him so that she can get rid of him?

His frowns but he doesn’t notice that Joanna is getting closer and closer to him. She nearly falls into his arms.

“Edward…”

“What are you doing?” Edward is back to himself when he hears that. He pushes her away unhappily when he notices that.

Joanna nearly falls to the ground and protects her abdomen subconsciously and she looks a bit scared. Edward notices that and then asks in a cold voice, “Are you pregnant?”

Her hands are trembling and she feels so flurried. She doesn’t dare to look into his eyes and says vaguely, “Edward, what are you talking about? I don’t get it.”

“Really? Fine, I am heading to the hospital. Let’s go together.” He has a cold glance at her.

Joanna can’t help trembling and she tries to avoid looking into his eyes.

When Edward thinks that she can’t hide it anymore, she looks at him pathetically. “Edward, we have been in relationship for five years. Besides, I am your fiancée now. I don’t mind if you doubt that I am pregnant and take me to the hospital to have a check. But, my mom and dad are so worried about us. You…”

Edward is hesitant.

“Edward, you know I love you so much… We…” Joanna is blushed and confessed her love to him so as to let him care about her.

However, she has overestimated herself and she forgets that Edward isn’t soft-heated and he won’t be so easy to change his mind.

“Let’s go.”

“Edward, where are we going?” Joanna is still immersed in her own romantic confession to Edward and she doesn’t realize what is happening now until she notices his cold and gloomy eyes gazing at her.

“To the hospital.”

Joanna is shocked and she feels the coolness from head to toe. What should she do?

“Alice, why don’t you tell me that you left the hospital?”

John takes a blaming glaze at Alice. If he hasn’t been to the department of andrology and came across Julie who tells him that Alice quits her job, he has no idea how long she will hide it from him.

Alice is a bit sorry and the reason why she doesn’t tell him is she doesn’t want him to feel concerned about her since he is the only one who cares about her.

“I’m fine. I just don’t want to stay at that hospital.”

John doesn’t keep asking when he feels that she doesn’t want to tell him the truth. But it seems that he gets something in mind and looks at her, “I… I saw Edward taking Joanna to the gynaecology and obstetrics today…”

Alice is holding the cup and pauses for a second. Then she lowers her head and tries to hide her feeling. Then she replies slightly, “Did he?”

John sighed in relief when he sees she is reacting calmly. He doesn’t mention that much but says, “Yes, they are getting married soon. It’s quite normal to have a body check.”

“Sure.”

Alice has known the fact already but she still feels a bit bitter when she hears that. She has got mixed emotions when she thinks of Edward’s words.
