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.
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.
