OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

"The farther the better. Africa will be the best." Joanna grits her teeth and her charming eyes are overflowed with viciousness. "Well, Africa is not bad too. Won't it be better if we sell them and Alice together over there?" George continues to ask.

"Fine, let's reunite the family in Africa!" Joanna can't help but laugh when she imagines the scene. With the benefit of hindsight, she realizes that his father's words have a hidden meaning. She looks at her father involuntarily and asks with a frown, "Dad, is it that you already have some ideas in your mind?"

When George knows his precious daughter finally realizes it, he gets up from the desk, walks to her front and gently fondles her face. The palm print beaten by Edward has gone from her face, but whenever George remembers that Edward and Alice dare to make Joanna cry bitterly, he feels that it is not enough to vent his anger if he only sells them in Africa.

"Dad, just now you seemed to mean..." Joanna is not foolish. She thinks back on the conversation just now and feels that something is wrong.

George does not hide the secret from his daughter and tells her about the police report made by the Smith's, in which a policeman has already found those two children at KFC. When the policeman approaches the children, they keep saying that they don't need to go to the police station because they are able to find their mother by themselves.

Oh, that's pretty smart.

However, is it possible for him to let these two cute and smart children stay outside and look for their mother alone?

So, at this moment, the two children "are" brought back to the police station and how will they be handled is all about how George wants them to be.

"Dad, what do you want to do then?"

George smiles sinisterly, "Of course, waiting for Alice to turn herself in."

"As expected, Dad will always have good ideas!" Joanna takes the initiative to hug George, with smiles all over her face which is very different compared to the time when she just came in. Even if Edward desperately wants to protect Alice, so what, she still has to return to the police station!!

After searching for a day and a night, the Smith's has not found the children yet.

Edward is getting more and more anxious as there is no news from the police station. Whenever he thinks about the two cute and lovely four-year-old children who have been wandering outside and going nowhere, he is extremely distraught.

Edward does not dare to tell Alice what has happened and feels glad and lucky that she is by the side of John because he is afraid that she is unable to accept it after knowing this matter.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Extend the scope. Make sure to keep searching for them until you found them!"

"Yes." Allen nods as if he has figured out something and asks tentatively, "President, I have heard that these two children are very smart. Is it possible that they have already found Miss. Alice?"

It has already taken so much power to find the two children but they still cannot be found. There is obviously something wrong.

However, Allen does not think of the other possibility. Instead, he thinks of Alice's side.

When Edward hears this, he quirks his eyebrows. He had spent time with the two cute children before and could somehow feel their genius kind of intelligence. It is possible for them to find Alice by themselves.

Perhaps, he should go to John's place and see if the children are there?

Fields looks at Edward who appears in front of him again. Before he can even say anything, Edward already asks, "Did anyone come over here yesterday?"

"What?" Fields is dumbfounded. Edward pulls a long face. Fields looks at Edward's handsome face and quickly shakes his head, "No, no, nobody else is coming except you and Miss. Alice." As if knowing something, Fields asks, "Is it someone from the police station is coming?"

After hearing that, Edward's heart sinks. To his surprise, the two children are not here!

It seems like Fields has realized that Edward's face is not right. Being slightly bold, Fields asks, "Is it related to Miss. Alice?" He knows that Alice is now charged for causing injury in a car accident and is sentenced to three years.

If Edward has not done anything, she is bound to be in the prison now.

Edward frowns, stares at Fields and coldly gazes at the direction towards John. Fields notices that and says, "Does Mr. Edward want to go and see Miss. Alice?" After asking that, Fields wants to slap himself.

If Edward knows what is happening inside, he may explode with anger immediately.

Now, he can somehow determine that Edward's love for Alice is certainly true.

Thinking such a way, Fields now thinks of his good friend, John.

Competing with such a powerful person, no wonder John never expose his feelings to Alice, but choose to contribute to her silently.

"Is she okay?"

After not seeing her for a day, it is a lie to say that he does not miss her.

Although she is so close, he still cannot reach out his step to meet her when he thinks of the two adorable children. It is not a wise decision to meet her at this moment.

"Miss. Alice is fine. She is just a little worried..."

"Worried?" Edward's heart flutters and subconsciously thinks that Alice already knows about the two missing children. In hindsight, he realizes that what Fields has said is referring to John and at that moment, the utter feeling of disappointment engulfs him and makes him feel bad. Fields also seems to know that it is not suitable to tell the truth. He is very embarrassed and does not even know how to reply.

The atmosphere is suddenly silent and when Edward wants to leave, unexpectedly, Alice walks out of John's room. Apparently, she has not slept for the entire night as her eyes look red and there are some bruises which make her look very haggard.

With just a single glance, Edward feels like his heart is punched strongly by something, so uncomfortable.

She stays awake for the whole night because of another man, while he... is unable to fall asleep because he is thinking about her.

"Fields, John is..." Before the words are uttered completely, she notices the man standing at the doorway with a knife-like and angular handsome face. The warm sunlight on his face enables him to look as attractive as Apollo.

However, a flash of pain in her eyes makes her heart darken. Her limpid eyes move and she says softly, "You're here."

"Yeah."

He responds. She slightly opens her mouth but she does not know what to say. The thing that happened yesterday is still vivid in her mind and she expects that most likely he will not come over but surprisingly he really appears. She is shocked and feels awkward. Again, the atmosphere becomes silent. Fields wishes the earth can open up and swallow him whole from this awkward situation.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet..."

"Oh."

Field's mouth twitches twice and he simply says, "It's almost noon, I'm going to buy groceries, you guys talk!"

Finished speaking, Fields goes to grab his wallet with the speed of a hundred-meter sprint and quickly leaves the place, as if he is afraid someone will ask him to stay there.

Now, only Alice and Edward are in the living room.

"Want some tea?"

"No need." Edward's eyebrows are filled with a sense of displeasure because she sounds like the mistress of this house, which makes him have the urge to grab her hand and leave the place. But...not now.

Even if it is not due to the children's matter, it is still possible that his mother may come over again.

If she stays here, nobody will know and thus she is safer.

Even though Edward rejects to have the tea, Alice still pours a cup of tea for him and places it on the tea table. When she turns her body to sit on the other side, her right hand is abruptly grabbed by him and the pull causes her to lose balance and fall onto a warm chest, which makes her face his clear and affectionate eyes.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
