Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 166

The car moved slowly. But Alice was rapt in thinking about her kids’ future so that she didn't notice the car that was going to hit her.

Unlike Alice, Edward watched the video recorded by the monitor. He observed where the car came from and the track of its types. He found that it was a fact that the car hit Alice on purpose.

Before watching the video, he had been glad that the car moved slowly. He had wondered why Alice was hit by the slow car. He only felt grateful that Alice was safe, but he hadn't thought that the car crash wasn't an accident.

It was what Janet said inspired him that Alice staged the car crash. He didn't allow her bodyguards to take her to some strange places. She might find that she was followed by bodyguards so she staged the accident.

He couldn't find any information about the car. It might be true that… She was merciless! Thinking that she had an abortion five years ago, Edward was puzzled. Was Alice still same as the one who had looked forward to the birth of her child five years ago?

Edward thought the relationships between Alice and him had improved a lot recently. Less than a month ago, they were as happy as they had been five years ago. He even decided that he should have more trust in Alice. But Alice betrayed him.

She was hypocritical and relentless. She was so awful that he didn't know what he should say to her.

Janet scolded at Alice, and Alice listened to her quietly. Alice said nothing and she couldn't speak.

She was pale, with dull and wide-open eyes under which were bigger dark circles staring at the white ceiling of the hospital. She lost much weight only in two days. It seemed that she was wrapped by an invisible shell.

Edward was heartbroken by looking at her. Alice was capable of breaking his heart even by frowning. Edward forced himself to pretend to be angry to hide his strange feelings. He didn't want be affected by Alice easily. He didn't care how she thought of him since it become easier and easier for him to be influenced by her recently.

Alice didn't know when Janet left. When she woke up, she found Edward stood by her bed. He looked down on her for a long time and stared at her. It frightened her.

Then Edward threw a contract on her face. "Explain it to me,” he shouted. Alice took over the contract which she hadn’t read carefully before she signed it. After she read it word by word, she found that Janet imposed many constrictions on her. For example, neither could she stay at this country nor meet Edward.

“So, do you want to tell me that you didn’t sign the contract?” Edward asked. Though Edward was furious, he expected that she could deny it. He knew that she had signed the contract by herself. That was her signature on the contract and that was her voice recorded by the recorder.

Even so, he expected that she could deny it, even though that wasn’t true. He would be less upset if he deceived himself than admitting that she had signed the contract.

However, Alice didn’t deny signing the contract. She thought there was no need to deny it when Janet showed up. Moreover, she indeed had signed the contract by herself. And it was unnecessary to pretend that she hadn’t sign it.
