Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 140

He is afraid that she will disappear in front of him again.

"I didn't jump into the sea back then, and I certainly won't today." Alice smiles and says softly. However, the softer she is, the more Edward dares not think about what kind of mood she used to come to the seaside.

She stretches out her hand to open his hands which firmly grasps her, facing him, saying clearly, "I was misunderstood in those days, the children..."

"Stop! Don't say it!" Edward stretches out his hand to stop her from going on. The past is not only the ineradicable scars for her, but also the truth that he has been afraid to face.

Alice pulls his fingers from her lips and continues, "Do you know what? At that time, I needed you more than anyone else, but finally, I heard the news that you and Joanna are engaged. I came here that night. Losing your trust and the fact that you and Joanna are engaged all made me so pain that I just wanted to jump into the sea. I couldn't bear the despair and sadness..."

Speaking of this, Alice looks at the boundless sea and recalls that night five years ago. She cried bitterly by the sea, and wanted to find Edward, but there was no way. He had already been with other woman, what qualifications did she have to find him?

At that time, she thought it is all over. If it were not John who had come to tell her that the children are still alive, she might have already died.

It is John who gives her hope to live.

"After that night, I decided to let go of you from my heart and leave."

Edward's ear moves as if he doesn't hear it. He looks at her and says to himself. Let go of him from her heart? No, she cannot have let go of him!

"Alice, it is my fault at that time. I only love you. We can start again. You believe me, please..."

Under the bright moonlight, his beautiful face is full of supplication. The man who is always like God has such a humble side. Alice cannot bear to see him and avoid his sight.

"You believe me. I can make you happy." Edward says in a humble tone, "I love you, Alice." "But I don't love you anymore, Edward. We broke up five years ago. You should know better than anyone else that I'm not coming back because of you." Alice reminds Edward cruelly.

Edward shakes his head, leans down and gently kisses Alice, as if he is trying to please her. Alice is a little sad. She bites her lips and is unwilling to let him kiss her.

"We can start all over again. Alice. Can you give me another chance?" Edward says.

"I can't believe you any more." Alice looks at Edward calmly. She had believed him five years ago. It turned out that she is wrong. She felt how fragile their feelings were when she was in prison.

The disappointment and powerlessness leave her in agony.

And she doesn't want to see the people who are important for her get hurt again.

"I don't want to try any more. Let me go, and let yourself go."
