Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 125

Edward remains silent. Joanna smiles and leaves gracefully.

……

The next day, Edward goes to the police station to visit Alice again.

Still the same, she refuses to see him.

But this time, Edward seems to be stubborn. He directly lets others tell her if she doesn't come out to see him, he’ll sit outside to wait for her.

In the end, Alice comes out to see him at 5 O’clock in the afternoon.

Looking at the man who is thinner than before, the dark circles under his eyes, and the tension in his eyes, Alice feels so sorry for him. She wants to cry, but she still bites her lip firmly to resist trying to hug him. She sits calmly opposite him.

"Are you fine?" Seeing that she is in good condition now, it makes Edward feel at ease. It seems that the people inside don’t abuse her again.

Edward thought it is because the police is afraid of him, but he doesn't know that it is the Hale family's intention. The Hale family know that Edward will come to see Alice, so they deliberately ask the police to shut Alice in a separate cell, waiting for his coming.

"I’m fine." Compared with before, the treatment this time is very good. But Alice still feels desperate and misses her children every day.

Seeing Alice's calm expressions, Edward feels even more distressed. He stretches out his hand to catch Alice’s hands, but she dodges with a resisting expression, “Why do you come here today?"

"Alice, you believe me. I will save you out."

Hearing this, Alice's tears almost fall down. But she remembers what Joanna said to her that day.

"As long as you promise me not to see Edward again and never be with him, I can let you go and let you reunite with your children."

Joanna's conditions are a temptation for her, not to mention that she originally does not intend to be with Edward, but in the face of Joanna, she can't say okay.

After hearing Edward's affectionate promises again, she is in mess. She looks down at her fingers which clasp together, "What can you do?"

This question makes Edward speechless.

But he doesn't intend to tell Alice how difficult it is to save her out, so he deliberately comforts Alice, "I can definitely find the evidence at the scene of the car accident to prove that it’s not you who hit Jacquiline, then you can come out."

Hearing that, Alice can't help but smile sadly. This car accident is clearly designed by Joanna. With Joanna’s capacity, how could anyone find the evidence?

"Is it?"

Edward clenches his fists and says in a certain tone, "Yes."

"Don't worry. Everything is fine here. I'm just worried about John and the children."

Hearing Alice mentioning John, Edward's expression becomes gloomy, "I have arranged for him to go to the hospital for treatment."

"Thank you."

She is polite and estranged which irritates Edward. He stares at calm Alice. Does she have to be like this to him?

"You don't want to talk to me?"

"Yes." Alice replies.

"Alice!!" Edward stands up angrily.

"Mr. Edward, if you have spare time, you don't have to worry about my business." Alice says lightly.

This indifferent attitude deeply irritates Edward. He has done so many things, but in her eyes, it’s nothing! How indifferent she is!

"I will save you out."

"Even if I come out, I won't be with you. I will be with John in the future." Alice bites her lip. Her hands under the table clench tightly. She looks up at Edward and says word by word.

"What are you talking about?" Edward squints. It seems that he is almost in breaking out state.

"I want to be with John." Alice repeats again.

Bang!

Edward hits the table with a fist, making a huge noise which makes the policemen outside the room all look at him. They want to come in. Noticing the coldness in Edward's eyes, they all step back and keep their eyes on the situation inside the room. George has told them so many times that Edward can see Alice, but he absolutely can't take Alice away.

Edward hits the table so hard that some blood oozes out of Edward's hands joints, contrasting with his white and slender hands, it looks terrible.

Alice is shocked for a moment. There is a flash of worry in her eyes, but she still bites her lip. She doesn’t show any her inner concern. She pretends to be indifferent, and says, "If you don’t have anything to tell me, I’ll go in. I hope Mr. Edward will not come again."

Hearing this, Edward clenches his fists fiercely. The conversation ends with no results. Finally, Alice returns to the cell with a self-deprecating smile.

Edward feels very upset. Although this time he knows Alice is not as bad as he thought, but the more he thinks about it, the more eagerly he wants to save her out. So he remembers what Joanna said to him.

……

When receiving Edward's phone call, Joanna smiles and is unable to contain her inner joy.

She knows that Edward will make this call. As long as he wants to save Alice out, he has to do so.

"We get married. Release Alice."

Hearing these words, Joanna bears the full of joy. She has a dreamlike feeling, "Edward, are you really willing to marry me?"

"I promise you. Let her go." Edward repeats again in a cold tone.

Such an attitude makes Joanna a little uncomfortable, but her goal has been achieved. She is not in a hurry to argue with Edward about this issue for a while. Now, the problem is Alice.

"Edward, since I promised you, I will do it. Don't worry, I’m going to the police station now." Joanna says softly.

Hearing what Joanna says, Edward feels relieved but at the same time, he feels his heart empty.

Five years ago, he could be sure that Alice loves him, but in the end, she left him.

Now, he has exhausted all his thoughts to show his true heart, but he can't get any responses. She is still the same. She has never thought of being with him, but wants to be with John...

"Edward, Edward?"

"Yeah." Edward's voice is indifferent, but it does not affect Joanna's good mood. She asks in a tender and extremely soft tone, "Then when shall we get married?"

Edward is taken aback for a moment. Get married...? Yes, to save Alice out, he promised to marry Joanna just now.

Since Alice doesn't want to be with him, he doesn’t care who he gets marry with.

"It's up to you." Edward says indifferently. Before Joanna wants to say something more, he says directly, "I have something to do. Bye."
