Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 126

“Edward, Edward!”

No matter how Joanna calls, Edward still hangs up. He is still hardhearted to her as usual.

This man is naturally callous, and she should have known it early, but it doesn’t matter.

She is the ultimate winner.

"Alice, you couldn't win me five years ago, and it's the same now."

Prison visiting room.

Alice looks very ordinary in the dark gray prison uniform and no makeup.

Opposite her sits Joanna who is well-dressed, noble and elegant. They are in sharp contrast and Joanna is very satisfied with such a state. She has a feeling that she can trample Alice under her feet easily.

"Have you thought it over? Do you want to go out?" Joanne looks at Alice pompously and asks her dismissively.

Alice bites her lips. She looks pale and feels it’s hard to make a decision. She hasn’t seen the children for three days and she doesn’t know how they are. Obviously, she is anxious, "If I promise you, you will not hurt my family in the future, right?"

"You should know, I just want to be with Edward from beginning to end. I don’t care about you at all." Joanna says in a sulky tone.

Seeing that, Alice bites her lip, like she has made a decision, clenching her fist, "Okay, I promise you."

"Remember what you said, Alice, if you dare to repent again this time..." At this point, Joanna walks intently into Alice's ear and says softly, "You will never see your two lovely children, and... your mother."

Joanna’s voice is so small that even can’t be heard. However, Alice feels extremely horrible and can’t help but shudder. Joanna knows her Achilles’ heel. She has no choice but to compromise.

Joanna is pleased to see that Alice is so obedient. She would not have worked so hard if Alice has been obedient earlier.

When Joanna is about to leave, she smiles as if she is thinking of something. She tells Alice a message with “good intentions”, “I'm getting married in three days.”

"Get married?"

Alice stuns and stares at Joanna blankly. She thinks that it’s impossible for Joanna to get married, unless…...

"Of course, with Edward."

————

As Alice walks out of prison, she looks out of the bright sunshine. The sun shines on Alice as if it can disperse the coldness of her. Every day in the prison is like a doubt and torture of life.

With the silence and despair of the future, and the denial of all things, she thinks that truth is an unstoppable dream.

In the end, she comes out by exploiting Edward.

It's just that he... he’s getting married to Joanna... Thinking of that she saw him yesterday, Alice is still upset, although she has made her mind to forget him.

They should have been married, shouldn't they?

She has known it since she returned back.

Well, Alice tries to suppress the sourness in her mind, walks across the road step by stop. Now, what she has to do is to go to Frank’s home and see her two lovely kids. She shouldn’t think about anything else.

Alice, who is walking with her head down, doesn’t find that there is a Stretch Lincoln Limousine parking not far from her. The man in the car is staring at her. When he sees her walk out of the prison, he wants to walk to her, but he restrains himself as if he thinks of something.

Alice walks in front, and he follows her, keeping a close distance until...

A Mercedes parks next to the woman. As the window rolls down, a handsome face appears. The man says, "Get in the car, I will send you back."

"Mr., Mr. Colins."

"Just call me Randall." Randall walks to Alice, opens the door gently and invites Alice to get in.

"I can go back on my own." Randall has shown his good intentions serval times, but the kinder he is to her, the less Alice wants to be in touch with him. And the last time she met him was because she was too anxious and hoped to see her kids.

But now, she is very calm and refuses him euphemistically.

But Randall reaches out to her and stuffs her straight into the car, "Are you going to walk back like this?" He refers to her dirty clothes, and messy hair, although she isn’t like a beggar, but also looks terrible.

Most of all, she has no money as she just got out of jail. It isn’t easy for her to walk back.

Alice seems to be aware of it, bites her lips and gives up the idea of getting out of the car, whispering, "Thank you."

Randall smiles, goes back to the driver’s seat, fastens the seat belt and turns to Alice.

Alice ties her seat belt as quickly as she can in a subconscious. Then she finds Randall’s hand stop in the air. She feels embarrassed, but has only to ignore his hand and tells him the address of Frank’s, then she says thank you again.

"You still regard me as an outsider, right?" Randall smiles with a self-mockery, takes back his hand, holds on to the steering wheel and starts the car.

Alice smiles awkwardly. She doesn’t say anything and looks out of the window. She doesn’t know whether it is her illusion, she sees a familiar car passing by, but when she wants to see it clearly, she can’t find it anymore.

Is that Edward?

She rubs her eyes, and looks for it through the rear-view mirror again. However, there is no trace of that car. She has complex feeling about it, disappointed and relieved. Alice is upset and thinks what she can do if it is him.

She has said such words to him and promised Joanna that she won’t see him again. She can’t ask him to do anything.

What's more, they're getting married.

"What are you thinking?"

"No…No, nothing." Alice stuns, then comes to her mind, bows her head to hide the emotion in her eyes. She doesn’t notice that Randall’s expression has changed for a while.

"I’m trying to find proof of your innocence until someone told me that you have been let go, and I am overjoyed." Randall says with a smile.

Hearing that, Alice is very grateful and looks at him.

"Thank you."

In any case, Randall helps her a lot when she is in times of trouble.

However, her words let Randall suddenly stop his car, which makes her confused and stare at him.

Then Randall takes out a bunch of roses from the back seat, and puts it in front of Alice. He looks at her with his sincere and focused eyes, says affectionately, "From the first sight of you, I like you, I know you have experienced a lot of pain before, I do not mind you have two children, I hope you can promise to be my girlfriend, OK?"

The sudden confession makes a surprise on Alice. She has never thought that Randall would do so before.
