OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 49: What a Girl!

He asks her deliberately, just to make her surrender.

As long as she says it, he will be willing to fight for her, no matter what. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

But she tells him that it was a misunderstanding and will rather be wronged than tell the truth.

What a girl!

But the damn thing is, he obviously shall not pay attention to this stubborn and cold-blooded woman. Although that is the case, his mind cannot quell her image all day.

No matter how much he tries, there is no way to get rid of it.

“President, this is the quarterly report for this month…” Allen stands warily behind Edward, bowing his head in respect.

Despite that…, Edward doesn’t respond. This makes Allen shocked, and he repeats it.

The President still does not answer.

At this moment, Allen is taken aback. The President is obviously distracted.

The ruthless boss, who has always focused on his career and has the reputation of a workaholic, is distracted… Is he dreaming?

“What is the matter?”

Allen comes back to his senses. Seeing the President’s displeasure, his heart shakes and he reports his work swiftly, “The quarterly report for this month…”

“Put in on the desk, I’m leaving the company business to you. I have to go first,” Edward delegates work, while grabbing the coat on the hanger, key and mobile phone, and walks outside.

Leaving behind a helpless Allen.

Driving the car to the all-too-familiar hospital again, Edward’s hands tighten around the steering wheel a bit. He still cannot resist the urge to see her.

He wants to take a look at her injured face, how is it?

After a while, he turns off the engine, and a gust of wind blows through the hair of his forehead, faintly revealing a set of black, jewel-like pupils. His has that stern and pride aura, which will attract many women to focus on him.

Edward climbs the stairs and reaches the door of Alice’s consultation room. Before entering, he hears the sounds of Albert and Rebecca playing.

The children’s innocent laughter softens even the softest part of Edward’s heart.

For a moment he even imagines, how great it would be if Albert and Rebecca were his children.

He knocks.

In the consultation room, Alice is chatting with her children. All of sudden, someone knocks onto her room door. She wonders why someone is knocking when there is no one visiting the doctor.

The next second the door opens, her smile freezes on her face.

“Albert, Rebecca.”

Edward pretends not to notice Alice’s abnormal behaviour. He walks over to caress Albert’s head, but Albert dodges it and Edward touches air.

“What’s wrong? Are you mad at Uncle?” Edward smiles awkwardly and retracts his hand. Preparing to talk to Rebecca, he has always thought that she was more sensible than her older brother.

However, Rebecca doesn’t even look at him and turns to ignore him.

Alice brings Albert and Rebecca by her side, disregarding Edward. “Albert, Rebecca, Mommy promised Uncle John that he can eat with us today. Come on, I’ll take you to eat delicious food,” she says.

“Okay, Mommy!” Albert and Rebecca reply loudly. In fact, they both know that Mommy never contacted Uncle John yesterday. But whatever Mommy says goes.

Speak of the devil, Alice is about to leave with the two rascals, when the door opens again.

“Uncle John!”

“Uncle John, you’re here!”

Noticing someone is approaching, Albert and Rebecca show unusual excitement and immediately tackle the person and yell sweetly.

The scene makes Edward eyes sour, envy and jealousy evident.

“Why are you here?”

Alice is also surprised. She was just making excuses in front of Edward, hoping that he wouldn’t bother her children. Who knew that John would actually come, is he a psychic?

“Isn’t it Friday today? I came to take you and the children for dinner. Tomorrow is a holiday, there’s no need to worry about their studies,” John is not aware of what Alice had just said, nor does he notice that Edward, this stranger, is also in the room.

“Oh, yes, today is Friday. Albert and Rebecca, let’s have a big meal together!” She is reminded by John that today is a Friday.

“No!”

John is taken aback by Edward’s sudden voice. Only then does he notice the presence of another guy in the room. When he sees Edward, he has a vigilant look.

What is Edward doing here?

“Who are you, under what grounds are you not letting me go? Get away, I’m going to bring my children to dinner!” Alice states furiously.

“Mommy, I’m hungry. Uncle Edward is very mean, he isn’t allowing me to eat,” Rebecca holds Alice’s big hands, muttering helplessly.

Albert is also holding her hand, with no intention to help.

Edward feels a headache. A few days ago, these children, who were very close to him, have become so different today.

Looking at John, the uninvited guest who has just arrived, he thinks to himself that this man must be the cause.

“Move aside!”

“No, you haven’t given me a check-up today, how can you leave! Don’t forget that I can have you stay here; you have to examine me every day.”

Edward arrogantly stops at the door of the consulting room, helplessly in front of Alice. He looks behind her to witness Rebecca snickering.

Albert frowns and looks at him unhappily, as if he is really a bad person that bullies his mother.

“I’m off work now. If you want to have a check-up, please wait for my working hours. Step away,” Alice doesn’t bite Edward’s excuse at all, turning a blind eye to his shame.

Standing by them, John frowns. Although he does not know what is going on, he can roughly see Edward’s intimidating posture. He walks up to Edward and says politely, “Excuse me, Alice and I are leaving.”

Edward’s gloomy eyes fill with anger. Alice is so determined not to be in the same vicinity as her, that she invites John for a meal.

He just didn’t like her.

For a moment, Edward made a childish decision he has never made before.

“You want to go to dinner with him? It just so happens that I haven’t eaten as well, I’ll join along too,” Edward suddenly stops at the door of the room. It is as if Alice doesn’t agree, he will not let her out.

This is the first time that Albert and Rebecca have seen their father in such a devious manner. Standing behind Alice, they have forgotten to speak up, dumbfoundedly staring at their father.

When Alice hears this, she immediately refused, “No.”
