OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

His eyes were full of her. She blushes and tries to get up but his hands hold her thin waist in an overbearing manner, leaving her unable to move. "Let go of me." Her voice becomes so soft and she does not even realize it. "Stay awake for all night?" He cannot wait to ask her.

Being slightly hesitant, Alice nods and notices that there are some faint bruises under his eyes which indicate he does not sleep too.

But she does not ask him, for fear that...

"Well?" Somewhat annoyed, he clasps her jaw and forces him to look directly at him. As her panicked and timid eyes are shown to him one by one, he suddenly feels that this kind of self-abuse is too...funny.

"You worry about him until staying up all night? Well!"

Alice bites her lip, not answering.

"Speak up!"

The man's abrupt and elevated voice makes her brows knit, "John just slept."

Thump!

There is a shudder on the coffee table. Alice looks at his fist which pounds on it, with concern rising in her eyes and wants to reach out her hand. However, she thinks of something so she clenches her hand into a fist and withdraws it. "Alice, let me ask you again, will you marry me!"

Marriage...

When she hears this word again, she feels like a hot stream is searing down her chest to her limbs, but somehow her heart is reminding her that they are people from two different worlds.

For a long time under his intense gaze, she bites her lip and utters three words, "I'm sorry, I...hmm..."

Suddenly, Edward places her body underneath him and kisses her aggressively. His rudeness that has never been shown before is assaulting her lips sexually like a tornado, causing her to have breathing difficulty, but the tactility of tongues tangling with each other is so obvious. Her heart is being plundered step by step.

Unconsciously and gradually, she enjoys it so much and her hands start to unwittingly surround his neck, while his hands have traveled from her thin waist to her breast. She becomes sober-minded and strongly pushes Edward away after realizing that there is a sense of coolness in her breast. "Are you crazy?"

John is still inside the room and Fields will be back any minute!

Edward's mouth curls into a smile. In the next second, he kisses her stubborn lips again and this time, it is like a spring breeze that is gentle but without losing any domination and full of temptation. However, her mind is totally not on it until he bites through her lower lip. As she feels the pain, she opens her attractive eyes and looks at him.

He stretches out his tongue to lick her blood-oozing lip little by little, with extremely gentle manners to have soft and ambiguous feelings, causing her heartbeat to quicken. Now, her cheeks look even hotter and redder.

A sudden muffled sound comes out from the room. Apparently, Alice becomes clear-headed and again, she pushes Edward away and gets up from his body. "John is awake."

Seeing that she is heading to the room, Edward reaches out his hand to pull her.

"Edward!" Alice quirks her eyebrows, feeling that the person in front of her is childish.

"You have three days to think about it. I'll arrange for a doctor to treat him."

Alice does not say anything and struggles out of his hands. She heads to John's room without turning back her head at all.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Watching her leaving, Edward displays a smile that is even uglier than a crying face.

Looking at John who is pointing to her lips, Alice lowers her head. "I'm fine, do you want some water?"

She had been by his side for the entire night yesterday and his fever was gone but later he had fevers over and over again. He had severe injuries all over his body and she had called her friend staying abroad and was told that he must go oversea to seek treatment. But before that, John had to make sure his condition was better and ensured that the fever had completely gone before he really went oversea.

John shakes his head. He is not able to speak now and also cannot move his limbs. Even the action of shaking head is pretty hard for him.

Being an active and vivacious person originally, he is now like a cripple, making him feel exceedingly dejected.

However, when he can see Alice staying by his side safe and sound after he wakes up, he has a faint feeling of happiness.

If this situation can go on like this forever, even if he cannot speak for the rest of his life, he will not regret it.

But... the movements and sounds coming from the living room, especially the familiar male voices are clear enough to indicate that Edward is here.

Yes! He should have thought of the fact earlier that if without Edward's help, no one can save Alice out of the prison.

What about him?

He was accidentally kidnapped and when he finally found the evidence that showed George had been smuggling, the tape recorder was gone in the end... He did not have the evidence anymore and George had abused him until he became a cripple. Now, he is a waster and cannot even hold a scalpel.

Being a person like this, he does not deserve to ask Alice to stay by his side.

"John, don't worry, I will find a way to cure you. Not long after we will go abroad and I will find the best doctor to heal your limbs." Alice assures John, but her eyes are tear-reddened as she does not know how to tell him the truth.

She has told her friend who is a doctor working abroad about John's condition and is told that his limbs are possible to return as normal by breaking and rebuilding. But...the voice is unable to be healed because his tongue is cut off and is delayed for too long to receive treatment... It is already too late.

In other words, John will not be able to speak afterward...

Thinking of this, Alice takes the initiative to hold John's hand while her clear eyes are staring at him. "Don't worry, I will always be by your side."

John's eyes are puffy with a trace of wetness around the lids. He gazes at her and opens his mouth, but he can only make a "Hmm..." sound. He looks so desolate and sad, like a battery in which no charge is left.

Alice feels worse hearing that kind of sound. She nestles in the arm of John and her heart is filled with agony. In those days, John was so high-spirited, vigorous and always stayed by her side unrestrainedly.

If it wasn't John five years ago, how can she give birth to her child safely? John not only saved her and her child but also agreed to have a fake marriage with her... He had taken care of her wholeheartedly for five years. These things appear in Alice's mind one by one, but she suddenly remembers the "marriage" mentioned by Edward.

Looking again at John who is lying on the bed, Alice bites her lips and her eyes show a hint of determination. She has secretly made a decision.

The dark shadow outside the door has left at an unknown time.

Except for John, no one knows when is standing there and when he leaves again...

When Shane is called to come out, he will just do this thing--drinking.

Shane is speechless when he sees that Edward continues to drink one glass after another. He has asked Edward about what has happened multiple times but he does not get any reply. He also starts to drink until Edward is drunk. Shane snaps his fingers to call the waiter as he wants to pay the bill.

However, the person who approaches them makes him flabbergasted.

"I'll send him back." A sexy V-neck dress, an exquisite and beautiful makeup that suits the gorgeous face, coupled with her prominent wealth. These make her a goddess who is certainly adored by thousands of men. But unfortunately, she is not Shane's cup of tea. Likewise, she is not the one that Edward is craving for.

"Give him to me."

"Sorry, I guess he doesn't want to go with you!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
