Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 78

Being called, Jacquiline looks back and meet Alice with curious eyes. She starts, “They are…”

Alice’s heart sinks a beat, concealing her panic. She hurriedly replies, “They aren’t Edward’s!”

The more she tries to conceal things, the more suspicious Jacquiline was. She notices Alice’s fear, she asks cautiously, “Are they perhaps Charles’?”

“No!” Alice denies again, “Jacquiline, don’t you believe me?” Because of the previous conspiracy by Joanna and Janet, regarding the fact that Alice had an adulterous relationship with Charles, then Jacquiline was not there at all. She doesn’t know the truth.

But before all this, Jacquiline had always been a good friend to her. Alice doesn’t want her to misunderstand the situation.

Jacquiline sees Alice’s refusal, her eyes dim, but she does not persist on the topic. This makes Alice breathe a sigh of relief, but she was unaware of the glint in Jacquiline’s eyes.

Two old friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time, meet again. Supposedly, there should be busy catching up. Maybe it was the subject of children that was brought up earlier, the atmosphere surrounding them is a little off now.

At last, an emergent patient arrives at the hospital. Julie comes over to call for Alice, “Alice, you have some matters to attend to. I’ll come over to look for you another day.”

“The next time we’ll go out somewhere to sit and have a chat,” Alice says with slight reluctance.

“Okay.”

Before Jacquiline leaves, she glances at Albert and Rebecca. Her brows can’t help but twist, she can make out a resemblance of Edward from the young boy’s face, especially from his eyebrows.

Maybe it is not known to others, but when she was very young, she had seen the teenage Edward. Hence, she naturally saw through the many similarities between the boy in front of her and Edward.

Perhaps others are deceivable, but how can you fake the same look?

Could it be that the child Alice was carrying back then was really Edward’s child? Didn’t she get an abortion?

Jacquiline misses a step and almost falls. Should she tell Edward about this matter?

However, once she speaks of it, Edward might not give up Alice that easily.

They finally divorced, is she really going to reunite them again?

Hailing a cab, Jacquiline clenches her fist. She boards the vehicle, shuts her eyes, and hears the driver in front question, “To where, miss?”

After a while, Jacquiline replies the drive, her phoenix-like eyes icy. She bites her lips and decides, “To SA Group.”

There are some things that she must ask in person.

SA Group, President’s Office.

Edward is working in the office when he notices Allen escorting Jacquiline. Halting his work, he raises his ink-like eyes to look at her, asking in a mellow voice, “Did you meet with her?”

It is just a very common sentence, but when Jacquiline hears this, she feels uncomfortable. It is as if she wishes Edward is no longer like before. All his attention is on Alice. After all, they are separated, right?

“Yes.” Nonetheless, Jacquiline still responds obediently.

“How was the talk?” Edward assigns Allen to pour two cups of coffee, while getting up and sitting down on the sofa on the other side.

Jacquiline follows his movements, and sit next to him, glancing around the place. Her eyes happened to land on the magazine on the coffee table, and the cover happens to be Edward, the title being “The Conjecture of the Mysterious Lady A”!

This comes along with a few very famous, beautiful and dignified celebrities of the upper class, as well as a few charming and enchanting popular stars. All these people have worked with SA Group before.

Upon noticing the words on the magazine, Jacquiline’s heart aches a bit. At this time, she hopes her surname isn’t Smith, any name starting with the letter A would do. At least, the group of reporters and media would guess her as the lady.

Yes, even when knowing these are just nonsense rumors, Jacquiline is still jealous about that they have the opportunity to have a connection with Edward. At the very least, in the eyes of some unknown readers, they may still be a couple.

But she…

Jacquiline bites her upper lip, her eyes watching Edward drink red wine elegantly. The bright color slowly flows into his mouth, and in an instant, she feels a spike of arousal, making her heart beat faster. Her eyes and heart are all occupied by him. A thought flashes her mind. If Alice wasn’t in the picture, could Edward and her be together?

She knows very well that Edward doesn’t like Joanna’s unruly temperament, but because of his aunt and the influence of the Hale family, he agreed to the marriage.

It turns out that no matter how Joanna pleases Edward, or no matter how hard she tries, there is still no way to make Edward like her.

“Ok?”

The magnetic voice sounds again, with a hint of discomfort. Jacquiline is taken aback. She sees Edward frowning, suddenly remembering that he was asking about Alice.

Jacquiline’s eyes flash with jealousy, but she conceals it. Replying in a gentle voice, “I didn’t expect Alice to start her own clinic. She used to tell me all the time that she wanted to be a doctor. Now, after five years, she really did it. I stayed there for some time, wanting to have a good catch-up. But she has a lot of patients and she’s busy, so there wasn’t any time to relive the past.”

When Edward hears that Alice is busy, his eyebrows frown deeper. He has not forgotten that Alice is an andrologist. She is quite decent, and added onto the fact that she has to examine men’s bodies…

For a while, Edward exudes a cold aura, making Jacquiline, who initially wanted to say something, close her mouth.

After a long period, Edward asks in an emotionless voice, “Is she okay?”

“She looks good.” Jacquiline responds, thinking of something. She bites her lip and continues, “John looks like he’s helping her out, so everything is fine.”

John Blake!

Edward’s deep eyes darken, didn’t John work in a hospital in the city? He doesn’t know that the obstetrics and gynecology doctors in the hospital are so idle at the time, and he can go to the andrology clinic outside to help!

It seems that he has been reminded.

“Edward…” Jacquiline looks at Edward with a frightened expression, calling out timidly.

“Huh?” Edward turns to Jacquiline, answering lightly. The low voice immediately makes her heart beat faster, palms sweaty. She always knew that she liked Edward, but she could control it. She suppressed this feeling to the deepest part of her heart.

But now why can’t she hold it in, she really wants to let him know, that she has liked him for many years.

Perhaps, now she has a chance?
