Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 109

Janet's words calms down the evil air in Joanna's heart.

But once she remembers that Edward had slapped herself because of Alice, her beautiful eyes turns gloomy, and her voice is different than before too.

“Aunty, I can’t make the decision for this matter, Edward wants to bring her out of the police station by force, that act violates the law, even if my Dad as the city's mayor defends him, he also needs to give an explanation to the people!”

Once Janet hears that, her heart tightens. George isn't as easy to coax as Joanna, and George's image has always been good, if Joanna hasn’t been acting as the mediator in between them, George would already be angry back when Edward break the engagement off.

Now Joanna doesn't even want to mediate, so this… will be a big problem.

“Joanna, don't worry, I'll go and tell Edward now to send away that lowly woman, give him some time since he’s just momentarily confused.” Janet's voice sounds a bit like begging.

Janet's yielding tone makes Joanna slightly smiles, she squints her eyes, exuding the cold and gloomy aura, “Really?”

“Of course, Joanna, when have I ever lied to you, I'll go and find that lowly woman and persuade Edward. While at it, I must trouble you, please don't let your dad misunderstand Edward!”

Everything she says revolves around one main thing, which is not to let George blame it on Edward, Alice's dead or alive has nothing to do with her.

“All right, but you have to know that this is a big deal, my dad can't suppress it for long, 3 days at max.” Joanna says that lightly, but Janet understands the hidden meaning underneath it.

If he doesn't send Alice back to the police station within 3 days, then Edward must bear the consequence for her.

Thinking of that, Janet clenched her fists, her eyes are filled with hatred.

Alice, how long do you plan to harm Edward!!

‘Sash……’

Seeing Alice crying out in pain, Edward's black eyes looks hurt, his hand’s movement becomes soft and softer, and even if his long eyelash covers all his thoughts but his voice leaks his heart out, “I won't let you get hurt anymore.” absolutely not!

Alice's eyelash quivers, her heart is beating so crazily, she looks up with her clear eyes and stares right at Edward, coincidentally he also looks over to her.

They look at each other with feelings, he's in her eyes, and his eyes are full of her…

“Alice, let's get married.”

His abrupt sentence shocks her, making her drop the stuffs in her hands to the floor. She looks at his deeply affectionate pair of genuine eyes that doesn't evade her at all, he proposes to her at the time when everyone misunderstands her and accuses her of criminal charge……

Alice's eyes suddenly becomes moist, her heart can't help feeling sad and it feels like there's a hot stream that wants to overflow from her chest, but something suppresses it too, does she even qualify to be with him?

Besides, Janet won't agree to it, and…Hale Family won't let her go either.

She can't win against those guys, furthermore…

“Alice, let's just let go of that matter, I don't mind who you've been with these 5years, and I don't mind whose child Albert and Rebecca is either, I'll treat them like my own as long as you stay by my side.”

Edward stretches his white and slender hands out to hold Alice's, his profound eyes looks straight at hers, his each and every word is sincere and serious like a vow.

Rich and deep voice enters Alice's ears word by word, and turns into warm feeling that drips into her sad and soft heart. Her lips slightly opens, she almost says ‘yes’, but in the end she closes her eyes and bites her red lips before saying, “Sorry.”

Sorry…

That word is like a small needle that pricks Edward's heart, his eyes looks like he's in pain, staring fixedly at Alice.

Alice lowers her head and won't look at him, the light shines on her white and clear face, she looks really fascinating.

“Alice……”

When Edward wants to say something to persuade her to stay, Alice suddenly stands up and says, “I'm a bit tired, I'll go and rest first.”

After saying that, she doesn't wait for Edward's response and hurriedly goes to the second floor, as if he's a scary beast, the speed of her steps doesn't give any chance for the man behind her to chase her.

What in the world should Alice do that'll make her let the past go and accepts her again?

————

After the door closes, Alice sits on the floor while leaning on the door as if she has no energy left on her body while Edward's words unconsciously rings in her ears, let's get married……

“Mommy?” Rebecca opens her big and cute eyes and looks at Alice, she stretches her soft hands out like she's consoling Alice.

Alice smiles faintly and stretches her hand out to hug her child, Rebecca.

At that time, Albert walks over from the computer to Alice, he looks at her like he wants to say something and stops, as if he doesn't dare to tell her what he wants to say.

Looking at that, Alice asks, “Albert, what happened?”

“Uncle John is having a fever.”

John!

Alice immediately remembers that she hasn't seen John for a long time, she's been healing since Edward saved her from the prison and she hasn't think of John's matter, so once her baby mentions it, she hurriedly asks about his condition.

“Uncle John got injured when he's looking for evidences for you, when we find him, he's already……”

Albert can't finish what he says, according to his understanding of mommy, if he let her know that John can't speak and all his limbs are disabled because of her, the guilt in her heart will definitely make her thoroughly reject daddy.

This is also the reason why he doesn’t want to tell his mommy the truth ever since he and his sister come to the villa.

On one side, he hopes that daddy can use this chance to reconcile with mommy, after all true sentiments are seen in hard times, daddy dare to oppose Hale Family and bring mommy out, it's enough to prove that mommy is very important in his heart.

But… what about uncle John.

Uncle John had taken care of them for these 5 years, and everyone can see that he has feelings for mommy, now he's badly injured and he’s unconscious, he can't cover it up anymore.

“Where is he? I'll visit him now!” Alice gets up and asks.

Albert bites his lips and doesn't say a word.

“Rebecca, tell me.”

“Mommy, you cannot go out now, there's a lot of bad people out there who's looking for you.” Rebecca stretches her hands out and pulls on the edge of Alice's clothes, holding her back with a soft voice.
