Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 31

After all, Alice Roberts is a well-known andrologist abroad, and there's not even a single patient to see her at home. Who can take this easily?

He also heard about that a man broke into Alice Roberts' office yesterday, and if he was right, that man was Edward Smith.

"Alice, has Edward Smith been bothering you these days?"

"Ah? No, no." Alice Roberts pauses for a moment, and then shakes her head and gives Julie Swift, who is about to say something, an eye, suggesting her not to speak.

A flash of gloom moves in his eyes, John Blake lowers his head, losing all appetite. Does Alice Roberts lie to him because she doesn't want him to interfere in their affairs?

However, John Blake is wrong this time. Alice Roberts doesn't want to tell him because she feels sorry about Edward Smith hurting John Blake last time.

She doesn't say it because she doesn't want John Blake to get hurt in another conflict with Edward Smith.

Julie Swift wonders why Alice Roberts didn't mention that someone was pestering her. And with this question the atmosphere seems to turn cold and Dr. Blake, who always behaves gently, doesn't speak a thing.

In the afternoon, there is still no patient.

Alice Roberts is getting anxious. If there is no patient all day long, she will lose her bonus and people will think she's not professional. After all, she only had one patient yesterday which she didn't even complete.

She starts to worry!

Julie Swift offers to ask the outpatient department if something is wrong there or they thought she was off work today.

"Thank you, Julie."

"No big deal."

Julie Swift grins, dressed in a pink nurse costume, and goes in a hurry.

Alice Roberts is sitting alone in the consulting room and feels bored. She picks up her mobile phone and it rings. It's very coincidental because she has put it on mute mode and it rings just when she picks it.

But she doesn't want to answer!

In the President's office of SA International Group,

After reading some important documents, Edward Smith gets his coffee and drinks some of it. A wicked smile shows up on his face when he suddenly thinks of something about Alice Roberts who is working at the hospital, which makes him look more handsome.

He picks up the phone and calls her.

The phone rings for a long time, but the woman does not answer!

Edward Smith, with a hint of cold in his angular face, hangs up the phone. Well done, Alice Roberts, let's see how long you can pretend.

As the screen goes black and no more phone calls come, Alice Roberts is relieved but disappointed as well.

She swears to herself when she realizes it, "I can't have any more contact with Edward Smith."

She must work hard to support her children and mother.

Alice Roberts, who puts making money in top priority, has no idea that her two adorable children are dozens of times richer than her and she has no need to work this hard.

Alice Roberts, who has adjusted her own mood, puts her mind back to her work. She sits in the consulting room and waits for a long time, but Julie Swift does not come back until she opens the door heading to fetch some hot water.

Julie Swift looks at her with some hesitation and steps forward when she notices that Alice Roberts is holding an empty cup, "I'll fetch the water for you."

"No..."
