Chapter 9: If You Didn’t Want It, How Could I Get It?
Edward’s eyes darken completely when he sees Alice’s panic face. He raises his eyebrows, "Alice Roberts, didn’t it occur to you that you are married when you slept with Charles Johnson.” Edward sneers, a cold light flashes across his eyes and his handsome face is cold too.
His angry eyes and cold words pierce her heart like a needle.
Alice Smith stares into his bloodshot eyes, and then chooses to be silent.
Janet Louis is his mother after all, and it is impossible for him to question his mother's words.
That silence means she admits that untruthful accusation.
Edward pinches her jaw more tightly. His face gets emotionless again, "A woman like you, who has slept with other men, can only be my mistress!"
With that, he puts her down, arranges his ruffled suit, and leaves the water room without looking back.
Alice stands frozen, biting her lips, and feels humiliated by his words. Her clear eyes get wet.
Alice goes to check her mother with a faint face before she gets off work. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Susie Sullivan is much better after Alice came back to her. Seeing her coming in, Susie says, "Alice, you won’t blame me for calling Edward?”
"Mom, take care of yourself, I will come to see you tomorrow." Alice Roberts says in an apologetic voice, “The baby needs me. I've got a nurse to take care of you."
"Alice, it’s enough for me to see you safely come back!" Susie says with little excitement, "Be careful about Janet Louis, don't let she know you are back before Edward and Miss Hale get married."
"What do you mean by calling him here today since you know they are going to be married?" Alice says, and then she frowns, "Never mind! I have nothing to do with him now and there’s no need to care about him."
After Alice comes out of the hospital, it suddenly begins to rain.
She runs to the bus stop for shelter and pats the water with her tiny hands.
The rain was getting heavier and she wants to hail a taxi.
Suddenly, a black Bentley speeds by, splashing water all over her.
She takes a deep breath and curses the driver in her heart. When she opens her eyes, the black Bentley has retreated and stops within a meter of her.
"Get in!" The window comes down and a cold voice breaks through the rain.
Hearing this voice, Alice suddenly gets pale and turns away.
"Be sensible, Alice Roberts, and get in my car. If not, I'll speak your seduction out!" There is a piercing power in Edward’s voice, and it strikes Alice’s heart.
At this, Alice’s feet froze. She frowns and turns her head to look at the graceful man in the carriage.
"Get in!" Edward Smith repeats coldly, glancing at her again. With a crack, the lock is on.
Alice’s pure face has already been pale and wet.
After she got on the car, Edward turns on the heater and throws her a clean towel, “Dry yourself."
