Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 93

Joanna walks out of the dealership and quickly returns to Smith's. As soon as she steps into the living room of Smith's, she hears Janet's voice.

"Joanna, come quickly. Dinner will be ready soon."

"Sorry, Aunty. I made you wait for me." Joanna said with an apologetic smile on her face.

"It's okay. You youngsters are busy. Edward has just arrived home too. Now that everyone is here, let's eat." Janet patted Edward, who was sitting still, and said, "Edward, why don't you say something?"

"Do not speak at the feeding or sleeping time." Edward takes the bowl in front of him and begins to eat, ignoring Janet and Joanna.

Joanna is already accustomed to Edward's nonchalant demeanor. She walks to Edward's side.

Seeing this, Janet doesn't know what to say. She can only take her seat and start eating.

After the meal.

Edward is the first to leave his seat. Joanna gets a call that the car dealership has pulled up to Hale's. Perhaps it is because he took the check, the car dealer has also said specifically that Alice's car has been delivered to her clinic.

At the sound of Alice's name, Joanna is more than a little upset.

She bids Janet a hasty goodbye and gets in the car to let the driver drive towards Alice's clinic. She would like to see the look on Alice's face when she receives the car.

----

On the other side, Alice stands in front of the clinic. She looks at the people and car in front of her with confusion.

"I told you that I didn't order the car. You guys need to get it out of here." Alice says helplessly.

"Miss Roberts, this is the car that Mr. Smith ordered. And we're just bringing the car here at Mr. Smith's request."

"I don't want his car. You guys hurry up and drive it back."

Alice is reluctant to take Edward's car. She knows at the first glance that this car is worth a lot of money, not to mention that she can't afford to pay it back, and she doesn't know what his intentions are in giving her this car.

"Miss Roberts, please don't make it difficult for us. We're just delivering the car. How about you talk to Mr. Smith yourself?"

"What? You think this car is too cheap to be worthy of your status?" Joanna sees the scene just as she arrives at the clinic.

"What are you doing here?" Alice looks at Joanna as she walks up to her, feeling uneasy.

What is going on today?

Edward sends the car first, and then Joanna. Do these two have to get her into trouble all day long?

"I came to see the look on your face when you got the car. I thought you'd be speechless with surprise. It turns out you despises the car."

Joanna walks over to the door of the car and touches the car's surface. She says with a little disgust, "Exactly. You have Edward now, which is the same as owning the SA Group. How does a car like this match you?"

"Go away. You're not welcome here." Alice doesn't want to see Joanna and just starts driving her away.

"Isn't this a clinic? Can't I just come and see?" Joanna walks straight into the clinic, ignoring Alice's words.

"What are you doing?" Alice watches Joanna walk into her clinic and feels a flutter of panic.

She knows exactly what kind of person Joanna is. She must be up to no good for coming here. She can't have her messing around in the clinic.

With that in mind, Alice wants to follow Joanna in and kick her out.

The man who is standing next to Alice stops Alice somewhat hopelessly and says, "Miss Alice, please sign out for this car so we can get back to report on our mission."

Alice says angrily, "I don't want it. Let whoever buys it sign it. I'm going in. Don't try to stop me."

"You can't do that, Miss Alice. You can't make me lose my job. If you don't take this car, I won't be able to explain myself back."

"You!" Alice stomps her foot in frustration as she looks at Joanna, who is fading out of sight. She picks up the slip from the car and hastily writes her name.

"I've signed for it, so just go. Get out of my way."

After getting the sign-in sheet, the man who delivered the car leaves right away.

Alice lifts her foot and runs toward the clinic. It has only been a few minutes, but Joanna might be up to something in there.

After walking into the clinic, Alice is surprised.

Joanna is actually sitting on a bench in the clinic, looking at the notes on the wall and not doing anything else.

"Get out of here." Alice says as she walks up to Joanna.

"What? You're asking me to leave? Won't you let me come to your office?" Joanna says as she looks at Alice.

"We don't know each other that well. I don't need to show you." Alice refuses her without even thinking about it.

"It seems like there's something shady in there since you won't let me see it. But I have to see it." Joanna says and runs off towards the doctor's office.

Luckily, Alice is prepared in advance. She gets to the office door before Joanna and stops her.

"Get the hell out of here. This clinic is for male patients." Alice says coldly.

Joanna looks at Alice who stopped her. Then she fixes her clothes and says, "I just came to care about you and see how your clinic is doing. Since you don't appreciate it, I'll just leave. I'm sick of staying in a place like this for another minute."

With that, Joanna turns to leave.

Watching Joanna's back as she left, Alice is confused. Is it possible that Joanna really just came to check out the clinic this time?

But it is a relief to Alice that Joanna is gone. She doesn't want to stay with Joanna for a second.

It is just that this time, she is a little uneasy, like something is about to happen.

She just gets a headache when she turns her attention to the ivory colored car outside. That guy! She just said yesterday that she wouldn't ride in John's car, nor would she ride in his.

She can't believe he bought her a car the next day!

He really does have too money to spend.

Alice, who is depressed, hears her phone ring. She picks it up and finds that it's Edward calling. Then she just hangs up without even thinking about it.

Edward, on the other end of the phone, tries to hold back from calling her again, but after dinner, he wonders if Alice would like it. After all, it is the car she had accidentally said she liked five years ago.

The car updates too quickly. He has spent all night trying to find this car and ordered one today.

Unexpectedly, she doesn't even answer his phone calls!

So Edward, who is not convinced, can't resist calling her again.

"Edward, if you have really a lot of money, you can donate more to Project Hope. You don't have to spend it on me. If I wanted this car, I'd buy it myself!"

Edward's black eyes sink slightly when he hears her say that as soon as he gets the call, "Alice, do you dislike the car that much?"

Alice falls silent.

What is she going to say about the sourness that welled up in her heart when she saw that car...
