OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Nestled against his warm chest, Alice could clearly hear his heart beating. She paused and thought about his words.

Alice wanted to reject him, but the words seemed to stick in her throat. She's already decided that she will have nothing to do with him ever again, but why did she waver now? "I don't know."

"Alice..." Hugging Alice tightly, Edward was afraid that Alice might disappear at any moment.

Then he lowered his head and asked Alice seriously, "Alice, will you marry me?"

Albert had Edward's dark eyes, so whenever she saw Albert, she would think of him and wonder what he was doing.

But she would suppress the thought when she remembered Joanna and that misery that she went through that night. Over time, she can just feel pain when she thought about him.

That's why she wanted to leave him desperately because only in this way can she have a rebirth.

At the end, she didn't say "Yes", but also didn't reject firmly like before.

Quirking up the corner of his mouth, Edward thought that this response was great enough. She didn't reject him, so did it mean that she was hesitating and she might agree marrying to him one day? However, Alice started panicking when it's time for prenatal examination.

Janet's repulsion was a constant reminder to Alice that she would get into a lot of trouble.

Janet demanded that Alice should see the doctor that she's already made an appointment with in advance. Alice was afraid to tell Edward, but also didn't know what to do.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

She felt like that she was just a tiny star in the vast universe, wandering around.

Alice knew that Janet would definitely let the doctor abort the baby. But neither she nor Janet should be the one who's deciding the baby's destiny. As a matter of fact, Edward, baby's father, should have the final say here. But Edward wouldn't give up this baby in a million years. He's been firm on this decision. How about herself then?

Maybe this baby was not conceived out of love, but she'd poured her heart and soul into this baby recently. Should she just abort him?

"We'll just name him Baby. Our little baby."

Edward's gentle voice kept echoing around her ears. Since they cleared up the misunderstanding, both Edward and Alice had realized that they can't get over each other.

Edward would sort out the company issues beforehand, so that he would spend more quality time with Alice and the kids.

When she got pregnant five years ago, Edward's business was just starting up, so he really didn't have much time to accompany her.

Back then, Alice went through a lot of hardships alone. But this time, as if he wanted to make up for the regret five years ago, Edward was determined to involve himself in every stage of Alice's pregnancy. The beauty of love is that it encompasses both the extraordinary and the mundane.

Alice figured if life went on in this way, she wouldn't be able to resist Edward's romantic gestures.

On the examination day, as usual, leaving the company issues aside, Edward was going to accompany Alice to do the prenatal examination.

Because now, in his heart, there's nothing can compare with Alice, not even himself.

Alice was unsure what she should do, because if she let Edward go to the hospital with her, it would mean that she rejected Janet. If Janet became an enemy, she might have lots of troubles in the future. Edward's phone kept ringing up, but he hung it up every time.

Alice figured that it might be for the best if Edward can go to the company so that she can have time to think the whole thing over.

"It must be urgent, otherwise, Allen won't keep calling you. It's just a prenatal examination, I can do this myself. Don't worry about me."

Alice was having butterflies in her stomach. On the one hand, she wanted Edward to leave. On the other hand, she wanted him to accompany her.

Edward wanted to ignore the call, but he knew that Allen wouldn't call him at this time if it weren't urgent.

He hesitated a bit. Hale Family's trouble was not over yet, something might really have happened in the company.

Finally, he returned Allen's call. He must be strong enough to protect Alice and their children.

It turned out that SA Group was surrounded by police. For whatever reason it was, as a president, he should be there.

Alice listened quietly.

Edward founded the company himself and has made a lot of effort. What's more, she and the kids had to depend on Edward, so she can't let anything bad happen to SA Group.

Edward was still hesitating. He's never been an indecisive person, but he tended to think twice on his things when he met Alice again.

Alice was trying to persuade him that there will be many prenatal examinations during the course of her pregnancy, so it won't matter if he missed once.

Edward finally decided to return to the company and told Alice repeatedly that she must bring the ultrasound image of the baby back, follow doctor's orders and be with the butler.

The old butler was smiling the whole time. He's never seen Edward being so clingy to anyone.

Alice was nodding all the way. Realizing that he's said everything, Edward let go of her and turned to the butler, "Take good care of her."

Janet appeared right after Edward left.

Alice was taken aback by Janet's sudden appearance and stepped back.

Noticing Alice's flinching, Janet smirked.
