Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 87

Right when she steps out of the office, Jacquiline hears her phone ringing in her bag.

She takes a look, it's Alice.

She's calling at this time? Jacquiline's put her finger on the green answer the phone button for quite some time, but she recalls her finger and puts her phone back to the bag. She bumps into Allen, her black eyes looks a bit panic.

“Miss Smith, you're leaving?” Allen asks with a polite smile.

“Yes, yes, I'm leaving now.” Jacquiline nods, she unconsciously bites her red lips and avoids Allen, walking towards the lift.

Did he see that call?

It's fine, he's just an assistant, Jacquiline presses the 1st floor button on the lift, and tries to hide her anxiety, her phone stops ringing after a while.

————

At first, Alice was still worried that after Edward got angry, he would do something to her mother. But after she called the hospital, and everything was safe and sound, she felt relieved.

After a few days when the cold is gradually gone and the clinic is also open, they’re back to the regular with two doctors.

When it's past the working hours, Julie drags Alice with full excitement, “There's an art exhibition, why don't we take a look? It's very rare, and I heard the artist is famous abroad.”

Alice pauses for a second, she looks at the ticket in Julie hands, not only she remembers her university days, she actually likes painting very much, and she had ever wanted to be an artist too.

At that time, Edward brought her several times to see the art exhibition, one of the artists that she really likes is coincidentally the artist whose name is written on the ticket that Julie’s holding.

It's just that this artist's ticket is extremely expensive, only famous people of the upper class could get it. It's not an exhibit for commerce, so it's almost impossible for common people to get the ticket.

Looking at Julie's full of anticipation face, Alice thinks that she has nothing to do anyway that night because recently, her two babies enjoy playing with John, so Alice thinks she can just go along with Julie.

It's just that, when they get to the art exhibit entrance and no famous people are seen yet, she runs into the one person she doesn't want to see the most——Joanna, along with a married woman whose clothes are luxurious.

Joanna wears a slim-fit ruffle dress, she looks elegant and beautiful, and she attracts many men's gaze with the exquisite makeup, looking extremely proud.

At the same time, Joanna also sees Alice with disdainful gaze.

Alice only takes a quick glance before she looks away, planning to enter with Julie from another side.

Who knows, Joanna walks over to her, with arrogant speaking tone, “Poor people can come to this sort of place too, do you understand how to appreciate the arts? Where did you get this ticket? Who did you fool?”

When Joanna say ‘fool’, her bite gets stronger while her eyes looks gloomier, this ticket couldn't be a gift from Edward, right?!

Before Alice gives an answer, Julie that has a bad temper isn't happy to hear that so she speaks to Joanna, “What do you mean by fool, my friend gave me this, what about it, could you reserve the whole art exhibition?!”

Joanna gets blocked by Julie's words, since there are many people around them, she keeps her noble lady image for the moment and tries to hold back, then she takes a quick evil glance at Julie, “If know you’ll come, I would've reserved the whole art exhibition!”

The upper-class woman beside Joanna also looks at Alice and Julie with a disdainful gaze, she especially pays attention to what they wear, that kind of contempt and disgust she’s showing is very obvious.

Alice has ever looked ad such gaze from Janet's eyes.

It had once made her suffer a lot, and made her feel inferior, but she can face it calmly now.

Yes! They're figures from the upper-class society, but so what? What does it have to do with me?!

Right when Alice wants to say something, a refined man walks towards them from a place not far from there, as Alice has ever liked to paint, she takes a quick glance at the artist of this art exhibition——Fernando Osborn.

Fernando, he's just in his 30s, but he's already extremely famous in the art world, he's always welcomed to every art exhibition.

Six years ago she has seen him once, by chance.

“Whoa, that guy... Isn't he Fernando? I thought we wouldn't be able to see him by coming here, whoa! He looks really mannered.” Julie finds it hard to cover up her excitement and pulls on the end of Alice's clothes, she's really excited.

However, Alice only takes a quick glance, she becomes a bit gloomy thinking of what had happened at that time.

Things remained the same, but people have changed.

“Fernando.” When Joanna sees Fernando, she changes her arrogant look into docile face with a sweet smile.

Fernando nods and smiles, his gaze falls upon Alice, he pauses for a second, as if he had seen this girl somewhere?

“Is this your friend?” Fernando asks.

“How could that be, I don't know them, Fernando, want to go inside?” there's no way Joanna will admit it and she doesn't want to stay there.

Seeing that Joanna's not paying attention to them anymore, Alice wants to pull Julie and leave, but what could she do when Julie can't look away nor walk away at all from her idol.

Julie simple-mindedly greet him, “Um, are, are you, Fernando? I really like your paintings.”

Julie's frank words make Fernando can't help stretching out his hand to her, “Yes, I'm Fernando.”

Facing his stretched out hand, Julie is very excited, it takes a long time before Julie's shivering hand shakes Fernando's hand, “I, I'm Julie, I will keep supporting you!”

“Who cares about your support, beggars!” Joanna interrupts them angrily, even if her voice is very soft, but Julie can still hear it.

Because Fernando is a very remarkable artist, the ticket to his art exhibition is not expensive it's just very hard to get, Joanna's contempt hurts Julie too.

“Joanna!” Fernando slightly frowns and looks at Joanna.

Seeing that Fernando is a bit angry, Joanna has no option other than restraining herself, the upper-class woman beside Joanna is her mother, Edna, her expression changes, she says, “It's late, Fernando, let's go inside.”

Fernando himself doesn't turn Edna down, Right before leaving, he's very interested in the girl who's keeping silent, she's somewhat familiar, “you…”

“Julie, want to go?” says Alice to Julie.

“Go, let's go!” even if Julie's slower than this, she also noticed Alice's strange expression, she nods and leaves with Alice.

Looking at their disappearing shadow, Fernando seems to be lost in thought, that woman is indeed very different, and where could he have met her?

Looking towards the place where Alice was before, Joanna's eyes looks sinister.

So what even if Edward still likes her? She absolutely can't let Alice return to Edward's side!

She could drove out Alice at that time, so today, she can do that too!
