Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 43

“We are the same. Mr. Smith looks great now too. You have the mayor’s daughter with you now, much better than your low-class ex-wife.” Alice gives Edward a mirthless smile.

“Who is their father?” Edward wouldn’t let go of this question.

Alice clenches her fist. She knows if she doesn’t get things right today, there will more trouble in the future.

“After leaving you, I married John. Those are our children.”

“Alice!” Edward thumps the table and stands up. His face is covered in anger.

Alice remains her smile even though Edwards looks angry. She even teases him, “Mr. Smith, please don’t tell me that you thought they are your children. That’s is so funny!”

Edward’s face turns cold. He stares at this woman laughing in front of him. He wants to rip her heart out and see what it is made of. How could she still be laughing?

She left him with only a Divorce Agreement, went for an abortion to get rid of their child, ran away, and married John Blake….

Has she ever think about him?

Throughout this five-years, he has never forgotten about her. Sometimes, he even dreamt about their sweet time together. How he wishes to see her laying at his side when he wakes up and greets him good morning.

But the fact is, she left him, without mercy.

He got dumped…

“Alice Roberts, I will find out the truth. If I find out that you’re lying, be prepared to face the consequences!” Edward turns and leaves the scene. Alice’s hands are shaking.

Alice knows he couldn’t find out anything. To ensure the Smith family knows nothing about her not taking abortion, she took John’s advice- marry to him and divorce after half a month the babies were born.

This way, the children would be under John’s name and have nothing to do with Edward.

Even if he investigates, he wouldn't find anything. Furthermore, Janet Louis would have cleared all their traits. He wouldn’t notice anything.

…

As Alice expects, Edward has this unexplainable affinity towards the children. Based on this affinity, he started to investigate them.

However, the result of the investigations is exactly what Alice told him. After she left him, she married John Blake.

But half a month after the babies were born, they divorce for an unknown reason. The children are under Alice’s care now. They are both four years old, and their surname is Roberts.

Is the truth just like what his mother told him? Alice wasn’t bearing his child, she looked down on him for turning poor and couldn’t provide her the luxurious life she wanted, that’s why she got rid of the child and married John?

But why, why did they got a divorce so quickly?

This doesn’t make sense to Edward.

However, one thing is for sure. Those children aren’t his, and Alice did betray him.

When thinking about this, Edward throws his file on the table so hard that it scares Allen Ginsberg.

“Director, Miss Joanna called a few times and says she couldn’t reach you while you were away. Do you want to…”

“Ask her to get lost!”

“What are you doing here?”

Joanna is upset. Normal couples would have greeted the moment they see each other if they are apart for two months. But she already knows Edward’s callous personality too well. She comforts herself and says, “Edward, I miss you.”

Joanna walks forward and tries to hug Edward from the back.

Edward turns around, avoided her hug, and walks to his desk. He sits down and looks at her with his cold eyes, “I got a lot of things to do. Go back if you have nothing to do here.”

“Edward, mother wants us to go back to have dinner with her. You’ve been away for so long, and we haven’t been visiting her for a very long time.” Joanna tries to persuade Edward by mentioning Janet Louis.

She wins the bet. When Edward hears Janet’s name. he frowns. After a while, he replies, “I will visit her. You should go home now.”

“Edward….” Joanna calls his name again. She is not pleased.

“Haven’t you heard what I said?” Edward stares at Joanna and starts throwing heavy words.

Joanna grits her teeth and endures his attitude. She put on an ingratiating smile and says, “Don’t overwork yourself then. I’ll wait for you to call me.”

Edward ignores her and continues his work.

Joanna is forced to walk out of Edward’s office. She runs into Allen, who is holding a stack of piled-up documents. Joana gives a sniff of disapproval and blocks his way, “Did Edward sees anyone after he came back?”

“The Director is too busy to meet anyone. His schedule is packed.” Allen smiles and answers.

Joanna feels relief after hearing Allen’s answer, then she proceeds to the lift entrance. As long as he didn’t see that slutty Alice.
