Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 66

Alice thinks that her kids are so smart that she isn’t afraid that they can be bullied by other children. But on the opposite, she is worried that they will bully others. She can’t let them develop a bad habit of bullying others.

“No, mom. We are well-behaved at school today. And teacher praises Albert again!”

Rebecca shakes her head immediately and explains. She won’t tell Alice what happened at school today. That’s the secret between her and Albert.

“Why do you have time and pick us up, Mom? Are there fewer patients in the clinic today?” Rebecca is asking Alice confusedly while she is eating.

“Yes, there aren’t many patients today, so I can close the clinic early and pick your two up. I am thinking that I haven’t accompanied you guys well after I came back. So I decide that I will pick you guys up and go home together every day. So you two don’t need to come to the clinic.”

Alice doesn’t find anything is wrong and all she wants to do is to make up for her son and daughter.

“OK” Albert replies and goes on dining.

He does see the bitterness from his mom’s eyes but he has no idea what has happened to her and she doesn’t tell them about that.

Albert is sure that there must be some trouble in the clinic.

Alice and Rebecca are chitchatting and they all enjoy their meal.

After dinner, Albert and Rebecca hide in their room. There are lots of dolls and plush toys in the bedroom, though they are not anything valuable, they are placed neatly in good order. It seems a bit weird.

“Albert, what’s wrong with mom? Tell me.”

As soon as they go back to their room, Rebecca rushes to Albert and asks him anxiously when she sees Alice doesn’t stand outside the door.

“No clue…”

Albert shakes his head, “Mom’s clinic receives a lot of people every day, but today there are few. Besides, mom says that she will pick us up every day. Does she lose her job?”

“So, Albert, you are saying that there is a problem with mom’s clinic. Right?” Her eyes widen in disbelief and indignation.

She thinks that there must be some bad guys who again bully her mom. Her mom has never got fired by a hospital. But now, those bad guys still don’t leave mom alone.

Albert nods but he doesn’t say anything. Alice gets used to hiding from them and they have to figure it out by themselves.

“What should we do? The clinic is so important to mom!” Rebecca is so worried and she keeps walking back and forth anxiously.

“If there is a problem, let’s ask dad for help!” Albert blurts out.

“Why? Will he help mom? How do you know that it isn’t dad who gets mom into trouble?”

Rebecca isn’t sure whether her dad will come and help her mom since her mom doesn’t care about him at all.
