Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 90

Alice can’t image that one day she would lie so peacefully in bed with Edward, looking at his quiet and handsome sleeping face that like a harmless angel.

Without compelling her as before, finally he just said, "Just let me hold you and take a nap."

Perhaps it is because his voice, with a hint of supplication, is too soft for her to refuse.

In the end, he really just quietly sleep with holding her in the arms during the whole night.

Looking at his side face, she cannot help but stare at it. She has been forcing herself not to pay attention to him or be obsessed with him again as before since they met again.

But now she gets the chance to watch him. She notices that he is thinner than before, with stronger features and a cold temperament. It seems that he has not slept well for a long time and there are faint black shadows under his eyes. Alice feels a touch of pain and melancholy

Drawing back the sight, she fails to fall asleep. Especially when she closes her eyes, her hearing becomes more acute. She can clearly feel a man's breathing sound beside her, which is familiar but also sort of strange, giving her a sense of inexplicable peace of mind, as if he has always been with her.

But the past appears in her mind uncontrollably. She seems to be frightened and takes a breath. Completely losing the sleep, she realizes that there are things she can never let go.

...

Next morning, Alice gets up with a tired face. Yes. After trying so many times and even counting the sheep, she still failed to fall sleep.

On the contrary, the man next to her seems to sleep soundly last night.

"Didn't you sleep well?" Edward asks and looks at her with a refreshed face.

"I’m not accustomed to it." Alice replies, gritting her teeth in inexplicable irritation.

They have separated for five years. Of course she is not accustomed to it and even feels strange. Although it was something normal back then...

Hearing that, he has a momentary depression flashing on the face. "Everything will be the same as before."

She has no words. Edward comes over to the bed, putting out his hand and pinning her hair from her forehead back to her head. He stares at her white and clean face with some slight bruises on it. "Don't get hurt again, okay?"

"I won’t let it end s easily if I see that happen again." He gets close to her ear and whispers. His calm voice freezes her.

Does he mean that in his heart she is more important than Joanne Hale and the strength of her family?

Is he trustworthy?

She has no idea.

...

Joanne returns home with the accompany of her mother Edna and tells the whole stuff to George, who flies into a rage and wants to go after Edward on the spot.

"Dad, I said I could handle it by myself. You stay out of it."

"Stay out of it? Look at that guy. He's clearly not respecting our family."George says angrily, hitting his cup on the table and making a loud noise.

"I told you that it was all because of that slut, Alice. If it were not for the appearance of her, I would have married with Edward and he would neither have treated like this!"

The more Joanne thinks about it, the more angry she is. In her opinion, Alice is to blame for all these things.

She would have been with Edward by now, if Alice had not appeared.

But she showed up!

"Since it was that woman who caused it, just let her disappear. She likes money, right? Give her money and let her leave!" Edna interrupts in the side with a look of disdain.

Joanne hesitates. Give her Money?
