Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 80

“What did you want to say just now?” Edward asks again, eyebrows twisting the slightest. Could it be that something happened to Alice?

After all, Jacquiline had just met up with Alice, and she looks hesitant. Obviously, she has something to say.

Hearing Edward question again, Jacquiline becomes very reluctant. If Joanna wasn’t here, it would be a good time for her to confess.

Unfortunately, Joanna is here. If she confesses her feelings, she is afraid that Edward might not give her an answer. She has become a thorn in Joanna’s eyes, stabbing her in the flesh.

As she is openly clashing with Joanna, Jacquiline decides not to do such a stupid thing.

“Oh, nothing. I just want to tell you that your mother asked for you to go back to eat early today. I think there are some important guests coming to the house.” Jacquiline chews at her lips, the words just came to her.

Joanna notices Jacquiline’s unusual behaviour, feeling as if something is off. But she doesn’t dwell on it too much, as she already knows who this important guest is!

“Edward! I…”

“Let her know that the company is busy, so I can’t go back today.”

Edward refuses without thinking about the matter.

Joanna’s expression changes, her beautiful eyes filling with pitiful tears. She bites her lips and turns towards Edward, very aggrieved, “Edward, you do know that my Father will be there, right?”

Edward doesn’t say a word, his eyes dark as night. It makes it hard to know what he is thinking. However, Joanna continues to complain about this unfairness.

“I know that I’ve done some bad things, so I allowed you to hold the press conference. But I really love you Edward, can you please don’t be like this? I really can’t lose you. Father has always been very concerned about our marriage.

I initially wanted to talk to you alone. I told him that this between us, but Father still worries. I only asked your mother for dinner today, she even called me. Let’s go back together.”

Although Joanna is not the brightest of the bunch, her words make Edward realize that she is still up to something.

Knowing how to use the authority of the Mayor to control Edward, and due to the fact that he had lost his father at a young age, he was raised by his Mother, Janet. So, what his mother says, Edward will still follow to a certain degree.

Joanna used these two people to remind Edward, that even if he wants to refuse her proposal, he would have to think twice.

Jacquiline senses that Edward is a little shaken, and she takes the initiative to speak up. “Edward, no matter how busy work is, it is better to accompany your mother for dinner. Let’s go back earlier.”

Edward accepts the offer and agrees.

On the other hand, Joanna grits her teeth in anger. Although this was what she wanted, it was Jacquiline that got through to him.

Jacquiline, when did she have the means to change Edward’s opinions?

In the past, she didn’t realize that apart from Alice, there was actually another person who could influence Edward’s decisions!

Smith Residence.

George and Edna Hale sit in the spacious and fancy-looking living room. Casually discussing some topics, the atmosphere is harmonious.

It was until the Nanny Anne walks over, bowing her head respectfully, “Madam, it’s six o’clock, do you want the cook to prepare the dishes first?”
