Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 146

“I am sorry. I shouldn’t have asked, but I could tell that Mr. Smith really loves you. I have been staying with Mr. Smith in these years and in order to find you, he…”

“I know,” Alice replies. She interrupts Allen and continues in a deep voice, “Back then, he easily believed in others and I almost lost my children. Now I don’t dare to try anymore. So just let bygones be bygones.”

Alice went abroad that year in order to protect her family and she has been aboard for five years. She doesn’t come back until he is going to get married with Joanna.

“But… Mr. Smith was deceived at that time. He only loves you or he would not…” Allen gets agitated, but then stops as if he reminds something. Edward once told him not to disclose this secret.

Alice is also aware of something weird and asks, “But what?”

“No…Nothing,” replies Allen who shakes his head flurried. “Mr. Smith is not back yet. Let me take a look,” he changes the topic as if tries avoid Alice’s inquiry.

After hearing this, Alice nods and thinks they need to take a look after all she has been there for a while.

Therefore, three of them head to the direction of the washroom.

Rebecca is gone.

Alice doesn’t expect that her daughter would get lost even if under the supervision of Edward.

The whole process is simple.

Edward took Rebecca to the washroom while Rebecca told him men were not allowed to enter the Ladies. Rebecca assured him that she could handle herself, so she got in alone.

Edward said nothing but waited outside.

He waited for a while but Rebecca still didn’t get out, so he asked a female waiter to take a look. However, the female waiter told him that there was not child at four years old inside.

Alice happens to hear the waiter’s words and she almost faints. She rushes into the washroom and checks again and again, but finds Rebecca is not inside.

Rebecca!

Why would a child vanish without trace?

When Alice is unable to stand the stimulation, Edward supports her with his hand. But she turns around, looks into him eyes and asks, “Is that you? What did you do to Rebecca?”

Edward is taken aback and he notices the distrust in Alice’s eyes. He smiled with self-mockery and asks, “Am I such a contemptible man in your eyes? Do you think I will hide Rebecca and threaten you to stay with me?”

Although he did bear such an idea earlier, Edward gives up his idea finally since he understands love can’t be compelled.

Alice couldn’t withstand the blow but when she sees the misery in his eyes, she knows that she might have wronged him, because Edward would not act so recklessly.

“I am sorry…” Alice apologizes.

“I will find her. Don’t worry,” responds Edward firmly.

Alice has no choice but to trust him. Tears keep shedding down. She embraces Albert tightly, hoping nothing bad would happen to Rebecca.

“Mom, Rebecca will be fine,” Albert says to console her.
