Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 86

If Joanna didn't say those words, perhaps Jacquiline wouldn't ponder about it.

However, those words are like a tiny torn that pricks Jacquiline's deepest and darkest place at heart.

Yeah, if at the first place she didn't bring Alice to Edward, perhaps everything after that wouldn't have happened.

But who knows that Edward who never thinks highly of women, fancies Alice right away after taking a quick glance.

Jacquiline's gloomy expression will be a cold laugh to Joanna, seems that best friends are nothing special, how could they like the same guy and still be so close with each other!

“If you wanted those words, I have nothing to say.” Jacquiline bites her red lips softly, she raises her cold and clear eyes to look at Joanna, no matter what, she can't just sit there and watch Joanna harming Alice.

“Is that so? You really don’t mind if they reunite?” Joanna walks closer with every step, her red lips smiles like it is ridiculing Jacquiline.

Jacquiline says, “……I don’t mind.”

Joanna laughs, she’s staring at Jacquiline who looks away, “If you really don't mind, why don't you help and act as the middleman for them? If you don't mind, why didn't you say something for her at that time? I'm afraid only Edward believes that you studied abroad!” says Joanna coldly.

“I don't!” Jacquiline shouts with stirred emotions, it's as if Joanna could see through every mean thought in her heart.

Joanna looks at her, the more her heart stir, the more it becomes despicable.

Joanna stretches out her long and slender hands and speaks arrogantly, “Yeah, you don't, then quick call Alice. No, you should call Edward, this way, you can let him be the hero who saves the girl, and perhaps they'll reconcile earlier.”

Jacquiline looks at Joanna angrily, “You're not afraid Edward will know about this?”

“Of course! But what about it, I'm the mayor's daughter, no matter how angry he is, he can't do anything to me. On the other hand, you help them reach their goals. I admire this sort of self-abusing spirit.” Joanna laughs.

Self-abusing, help them reach their goals……

Jacquiline eyes looks struggling, no, she shouldn't trust Joanna's words, and no, she can't trust her.

However, each and every one of these words squeezes into her mind and occupies her heart, it makes those hidden thoughts, which is her love for Edward, spreads little by little.

What should she do?

Should she call Alice?

They're best friends!

“Don't think that people really regard you as a friend, I heard that they didn't tell you when they were together, and they just told you when they're getting married, isn't that so?” once again, Joanna bombs Jacquiline's heart.

At that time, terrifying waves comes upon the calm lake’s surface.

“I have said what I need to say, I don’t want to hear you saying these things, I have stuffs to do.” Jacquiline stares at Joanna, after speaking and without any delay, she leaves with rapid big steps like someone’s chasing her.

This time, Joanna doesn't chase after her again, looking at Jacquiline's disappearing shadow, Joanna's cruel red lips say, “Jacquiline, I don't believe that you can keep regarding Alice as your best friend!”

SA Group.

S, from Edward Smith, and A, from Alice, this company is the evidence of their love, it's the romantic legend of the business community, even if a lot of people are still guessing who's the girl with the initial A.

But since Jacquiline has been witnessing everything, she knows it clearer more than anyone.

The more she knows it clearly, the more it hurts her heart.

Jacquiline's white teeth bites her lower lips, looking at the glistening signboard, she can't suppress the feelings of wanting to see Edward.

“Miss Smith.” Allen looks at her with respect and a bit of surprise.

Jacquiline has a bit of guilty conscience about it, “Is Edward inside?”

“Yes, I'll enter to notify him for you.”

“Thank you.”

A few minutes later, Allen came out, telling Jacquiline that she can enter.

She opens the door and sees the man who's slightly tired but still handsome, he's breathing a bit heavier, seems that he’s in a very bad mood.

Just by a quick glance, she could already guess that Alice has something to do with why Edward became like this.

Thinking about that, she’s very upset at heart.

Suddenly, Jacquiline loathes Alice. Those years, when such thing happened, she just walked away without giving Edward any explanation. She even married John, and now she still wants to continue and hurt Edward.

“Edward.” Jacquiline calls him.

“Is there something?” Edward is still looking at the document he's holding without raising his head.

Jacquiline slowly walks closer to him, looking at his twisted eyebrows, suddenly she really wants to stretch her hands out and soothe it.

As a matter of fact, she does it.

Maybe Edward feels strange because Jacquiline is silent, he coincidentally sees Jacquiline's stretched out hands and frowns. Right when he wants to say something, Jacquiline realizes that she's being strange, so she quickly recall her hands and explain it to him in panic, “I think you got something on your face, so I wanted to tell you."

“Something?” Edward asks her back.

“I, I was wrong, when I look from afar, it looks like something's there, now when I take a glimpse, it's just my blurred vision.” Jacquiline randomly makes up an excuse, she's afraid that Edward will continue and ask more about it so she simply changes the topic, “Yesterday, you and Alice are f-fine, right?”

“Don't talk about her!” Edward's sudden howl shocks Jacquiline, but looking at his full of pain eyes, her heart aches.

She originally wanted to tell Edward about Joanna's plan, but now she's hesitating.

Should I say it?

If I said it, Edward wouldn't want to run to Alice, right?

Do I really want to see them reuniting again?

Jacquiline squeezes her fist, she lowers her head to cover the struggle in her eyes until Edward asks, “You came here just to ask about that?”

“I……” Jacquiline opens her mouth, but Joanna's words keep fluttering on her brain.

She looks on the ground, and speaks with a calm tone, “Auntie is worried about you, she couldn't sleep because you just left like that last night, so today she let me come over and visit you, tell you to come home when you have the time, Auntie has always done it for your sake.”

Hearing those words, Edward looks gloomier, but he knows that Jacquiline says that just to advise him.

“I know, I still got some meetings, go back home.”

Jacquiline bites her lips, she wants to say something else, but looking at Edward who isn't willing to talk anymore, she can only turn away and leave.

She doesn’t know whether her actions are right or wrong, but …If she sees them getting together again, perhaps the heartache will be worse than before.

She has been using her 15 years to be secretly in love with one person but she never let him know. So, Alice, don't blame me, if you really want to blame, just blame yourself for not cherishing him well from the very first time!
