Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 70

Even though they are families, Janet always wants to hurt her. Alice finds herself so ridiculous.

“Mrs. Smith, I’ve told you so clearly in the hospital. “Alice replies coolly.

Janet is a bit surprised when she sees Alice treats her so cool. She doesn’t expect that Alice will be so arrogant, “You should know why I am here, don’t you?”

“Sorry, I don’t know the reason why Mrs. Smith will come to see me here, in such an ordinary place. But I am so sorry that, you will be disappointed.” If they insist to force her to leave the city, she will have to try to stay here with her own strength.

Janet is mad and sneers at her, “It seems that you are so fully fledged! Alice, let me tell you, you will regret for if you keep getting your own way.”

“Well, then see you.” Alice smiles and she finds it ridiculous that her clinic which means nothing to Janet will be a tool to threaten her.

If she loses her clinic, she can find another job. Why does she have to lower her head and give in to them?

Though Alice has been always telling herself that never worry over what Janet is talking to her, she feels depressed since she has put painstaking effort to the clinic.

As soon as she’s back home, she takes a nap. When it’s time to pick up her children, she puts on causal clothes and then walks to the school. Along the way, she keeps her head down. In three days, it will be the joint hearing which gives her a headache.

Suddenly, someone shows up and stands in the way.

When Alice is about to raise her head, her wrist is grabbed by the man and she is pulled aside and forced to follow him.

Though she can’t see the man’s face, she can recognize it is Edward.

“Let go of me!” Alice is struggling to get rid of him.

However, Edward ignores her and keeps walking forward and he doesn’t let go of his hand either.

“Edward Smith!” She shouts out loud. Luckily, it’s still the working hours, so not many people are around them.

But Edward turns deaf ears and keeps moving forward. Seeing that, Alice tries so hard to take her hand back. However, the harder she tries, the more painful her wrist is. Edward still grabs her wrist so hard.

He might notice that she is painful, then he stops and looks into her eyes, “Follow me, or I will knock you out. Make a choice.”

Alice is still trying to get rid of him, but she feels that he is like a beast which will give vent to its anger anytime.

It seems that he is angry.

Alice zones out and before she is back to herself, she has been dragged into his car. She notices that Edward is now fastening her seat belt, and she asks, “Edward Smith, what do you want?”

Edward doesn’t answer but he stars the car going to a certain direction at full speed gloomily.

Along the way, he doesn’t look good and he looks so gloomy and cool.

Alice begins to be nervous and she feels that he seems likes stranger to her. “What are we going?”

He still ignores her. Alice can’t help looking for her phone but she finds that she leaves her phone at home.

She sits in the car for about 15 minutes and the car stops at the place that she is familiar with. It is the villa that she lived with Edward before.

Why does he take her here?

Alice is dragged into the villa but she doesn’t feel excited anymore. And she thinks that she needs to remind him of something very important.

“Mr. Smith, I’ve told you so clearly. I really appreciate what you said in the press conference, but I don’t want to have anything to do with you, ever.”

“Alice, why didn’t you answer my phone!”

His tone sounds very angry and there is anger filled with his eyes. Obviously, he becomes furious because Alice has hanged up his phone these days.

He has called her for the whole afternoon but she doesn’t answer so that he can do nothing but to wait for her downstairs.

But Alice hangs up her phone first and then turns off her phone. Edward is so anxious and he goes upstairs and knocks the door. However, no one answer either. The neighbor complains so that he has no choice but to wait in his car and guesses where she goes.

However, he doesn’t know that Alice is at home and she doesn’t answer his phone on purpose. Thinking of what Randall says to him, Edward becomes angry.

“I didn’t hear that.” Alice tries to hide her anxiety, and she doesn’t dare to look into his eyes.

“You don’t believe what I said in the press conference, do you?” He cuts to the chase.

Alice bites her lips and she doesn’t want to answer.

“Do you?” He walks closer and looks down at the one he can’t give up. “Alice, what I said in the press is true and is all from my heart, I ...”

“Edward Smith, if that's what you're talking about, I guess I am got to go.” She cuts in and feels like leaving.

Edward reaches out his hand and holds her jaw and stops her moving.

Alice feels the pain from her jaw slightly but she doesn’t want to look at him in case that he can see through what she is thinking in mind.

They both lapse silence. Alice bits her lips without saying a word. But Edward is staring at her.

After a while, he says in a low and husky voice, “you like Randall Collins, don’t you?”

Alice is shocked and tries to recall the name of “Randall Collins”.

It is the family member of one of her patients and he sent her a bunch a flower and told her that he would help her last time.

“No.” She denied without any hesitation.

Edward calms down when he sees that she answers that without any hesitation. But it seems that he is testing her and he keeps an eye on her facial expression, “how about Charles Johnson?”

Every time Edwards thinks of Charles Johnson and what he has done these five years, Edward is so eager to kill him.

Alice is shocked again and she doesn’t expect that he will mention Charles Johnson.

Edward becomes indifferent and gloomy again since she is silent. He squints and asks her, “Do you still keep in touch with each other?”

The angrier he is, the lower and more sonorous his voice is. His voice is so demagogic.

“Keep in touch?” Alice doesn’t know what he is taking about.

But to Edward, her answer proves that they do keep in touch with each other. Suddenly, he becomes a bit unpleasant and jealous. Then he chimes in in a cold voice, “you still love him, don’t you?”
