Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 44

Ever since that day in the coffee shop, Alice keeps worrying if Edward is going to find out anything. However, the result turns out pretty well. Edward hasn’t come back ever since.

This shows Edward is convinced that the children aren’t his, which is why he didn’t come back and question her.

This is supposed to be a thing to celebrate but Alice feels like there is a void in her heart. It’s like she could already foresee the situation, but when it really happens, she feels sad about this.

Alice’s bitter expression shows and her babies see it. They both know what she is thinking. She must be thinking about Daddy.

“Mommy, that uncle who visited you the other day, is he your friend?” with an innocent look and tone, Rebecca asks Alice.

Alice dazes. Friend?

She shakes her head.

“Is he your relative?”

She shakes her head again.

Looking at her mother’s reaction, Rebecca silently lights up a candle for her daddy in her heart. It seems like it is going to be a long way to get her back.

But Albert holds a totally different opinion. He thinks that his father deserves it. After all, he abandoned them and their mother.

“Then…Then who is that uncle?”

Alice dazes again. Looking at her confused children, she couldn’t answer their question. He is not a friend or a relative…he is a familiar stranger.

…

“SHIT!”

Edward throws the documents onto the desk. His eyes are filled with anger. Allen stands in front of his desk, dare not to say a word.

“Redo the proposal. If they submit anything like this again, fire them!!”

“I will ask them to redo it now.” Allen picks up the scattered documents on the floor, and secretly curse those who made mistakes.

Everyone knows that the boss isn’t in a good mood lately, can’t they be more careful?

Do they have a death wish?

No, they are already dead.

Allen walks out of the Director’s Office with the document. The design department is filled with anxiety and everyone looks terrified. Looking at their response, he doesn’t know if he should be angry with them or laugh at them. When he is about to say something, one of the staff looks like she has seen a ghost. He is immediately triggered.

Do I look like I’m as scary as the boss?!

“Fanny Jones! You…”

“Good…Good morning, Director!”

What? Did she call me the Director? She has a death wish or what? Just when Allen wants to teach the new staff a lesson for not able to differentiate him and the Director, a familiar voice raises from his back. “I’ve got something to attend to. You take charge of things here.”

“Yes…Yes, Director.” Allen answers the moment he turns and sees Edward’s cold face.

Allen sees Edwards off to the lift. He is cold like a huge iceberg. People in the office make a sound of relief after they see Edward enters the lift.

The next thing they know is that Allen gives an order. “Everyone must stay back tonight until you all submit a proposal that fulfills the boss’s requirement!”

“No!!!!”

The office is immediately filled with mournful cries.
