OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Alice can't image that one day she would lie so peacefully in bed with Edward, looking at his quiet and handsome sleeping face that like a harmless angel. Without compelling her as before, finally he just said, "Just let me hold you and take a nap."

Perhaps it is because his voice, with a hint of supplication, is too soft for her to refuse.

In the end, he really just quietly sleep with holding her in the arms during the whole night.

Looking at his side face, she cannot help but stare at it. She has been forcing herself not to pay attention to him or be obsessed with him again as before since they met again.

But now she gets the chance to watch him. She notices that he is thinner than before, with stronger features and a cold temperament. It seems that he has not slept well for a long time and there are faint black shadows under his eyes. Alice feels a touch of pain and melancholy

Drawing back the sight, she fails to fall asleep. Especially when she closes her eyes, her hearing becomes more acute. She can clearly feel a man's breathing sound beside her, which is familiar but also sort of strange, giving her a sense of inexplicable peace of mind, as if he has always been with her.

But the past appears in her mind uncontrollably. She seems to be frightened and takes a breath. Completely losing the sleep, she realizes that there are things she can never let go.

...

Next morning, Alice gets up with a tired face. Yes. After trying so many times and even counting the sheep, she still failed to fall sleep.

On the contrary, the man next to her seems to sleep soundly last night.

"Didn't you sleep well?" Edward asks and looks at her with a refreshed face.

"I'm not accustomed to it." Alice replies, gritting her teeth in inexplicable irritation.

They have separated for five years. Of course she is not accustomed to it and even feels strange. Although it was something normal back then...

Hearing that, he has a momentary depression flashing on the face. "Everything will be the same as before."

She has no words. Edward comes over to the bed, putting out his hand and pinning her hair from her forehead back to her head. He stares at her white and clean face with some slight bruises on it. "Don't get hurt again, okay?"

"I won't let it end s easily if I see that happen again." He gets close to her ear and whispers. His calm voice freezes her.

Does he mean that in his heart she is more important than Joanne Hale and the strength of her family?

Is he trustworthy?

She has no idea.

...

Joanne returns home with the accompany of her mother Edna and tells the whole stuff to George, who flies into a rage and wants to go after Edward on the spot.

"Dad, I said I could handle it by myself. You stay out of it."

"Stay out of it? Look at that guy. He's clearly not respecting our family."George says angrily, hitting his cup on the table and making a loud noise.

"I told you that it was all because of that slut, Alice. If it were not for the appearance of her, I would have married with Edward and he would neither have treated like this!" The more Joanne thinks about it, the more angry she is. In her opinion, Alice is to blame for all these things.

She would have been with Edward by now, if Alice had not appeared.

But she showed up!

"Since it was that woman who caused it, just let her disappear. She likes money, right? Give her money and let her leave!" Edna interrupts in the side with a look of disdain. Joanne hesitates. Give her Money?

Yeah. Alice is running a clinic for making money. In that case, we can just give her want she want!

...

Jacquiline has struggled for a few days, thinking about whether to remind Alice. In the end, she can't hold the worry in her mind and decides to go to the clinic to find her.

When she comes nearly to the clinic, she finds a dazzling red sports car parking at the door, from which comes out of a woman, Joanne.

Wearing a designer dress, Joanna looks very charming with her wavy hair blowing in the wind. Twisting her waist, she goes into the clinic.

Jacquiline stuns. Joanne's words flashed across her mind. Does she want to make trouble with Alice now? Jacquiline needs to check it out.

...

Alice looks at Joanne, who stands in front of her again. Before Alice can say anything, Joanne takes two wads of money out of her purse and says with a haughty expression, "Is that enough?" "Well, Joanne, you..."

Before the sentence ends, Joanne throws out two more wads of money, "How about these?"Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Alice feels funny, looking at the four wads of money on the table which is at least the amount of two or three hundred thousand yuan. It might pleased her if she earns it through work.

But when it is dumped on by someone, she can feel nothing but great anger in her mind.

"Is that all I'm worth in Miss Hale's eyes?" Alice hides her rage and asks with a smile.

"All right. As Edward has such a large property, it is reasonable that you are not satisfied with it. Just name the price. As long as you leave away from Edward forever, I can give you as much money as you want." Joanne says. "As much as I want? Why don't Miss Hale just tell me how much I can have?"

"One million."

"One million. Is Edward only worth so less?"Assisi sneers and asks.

Joann grits her teeth hard. She does not expect that this woman's appetite is so big, One million can not satisfy her. Thinking of the mother's words, Joann decide to endure and says, "Five million!"

"Five million yuan, well, that does seem right enough." She tilts her head, as if to seriously consider the possibility of the deal.

Joanne looks at her with a sneering face. Alice is indeed a money-hungry woman. If Joanne could know it earlier, Alice would have been driven away easily from the very beginning.

But it is not too late now. If Alice agreed to leave away now, Edward would have been hers!

Imaging it in her mind, a smirk crept over Joanne's face, She doesn't notice Alice makes a quick sneer.

Jacquiline, watching them in the outside, is stunned again. She has thought that Alice would refuse Joanne without hesitation.

To her surprise, Alice even starts to bargain.

Has she herself been deceived by Alice all the time? Is Alice really just a vain woman?!

"Her is a check for five million yuan. Take it, Miss Hale."

Joanne stares at the check that is handed to her. It has the amount of five million written on it. The cheque is a little yellowish, and the stamp on it is exactly...

It is the one five years ago...

Five years ago, Alice received this check from Janet with shame. Now Alice give it to Joanne, which is like an invisible slap, making Joanne's face change in an instant.

"What? Isn't that enough for you, Miss Hale? After you take the money, please stay away from me. As for the matter between you and Edward, I don't care at all. I just want to live a peaceful life, okay?" Alice says slowly and steadily.000000000000
