OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 43: Who is the Father of The Children?

“We are the same. Mr. Smith looks great now too. You have the mayor’s daughter with you now, much better than your low-class ex-wife.” Alice gives Edward a mirthless smile.

“Who is their father?” Edward wouldn’t let go of this question.

Alice clenches her fist. She knows if she doesn’t get things right today, there will more trouble in the future.

“After leaving you, I married John. Those are our children.”

“Alice!” Edward thumps the table and stands up. His face is covered in anger.

Alice remains her smile even though Edwards looks angry. She even teases him, “Mr. Smith, please don’t tell me that you thought they are your children. That’s is so funny!”

Edward’s face turns cold. He stares at this woman laughing in front of him. He wants to rip her heart out and see what it is made of. How could she still be laughing?

She left him with only a Divorce Agreement, went for an abortion to get rid of their child, ran away, and married John Blake….

Has she ever think about him?

Throughout this five-years, he has never forgotten about her. Sometimes, he even dreamt about their sweet time together. How he wishes to see her laying at his side when he wakes up and greets him good morning.

But the fact is, she left him, without mercy.

He got dumped…

“Alice Roberts, I will find out the truth. If I find out that you’re lying, be prepared to face the consequences!” Edward turns and leaves the scene. Alice’s hands are shaking.

Alice knows he couldn’t find out anything. To ensure the Smith family knows nothing about her not taking abortion, she took John’s advice- marry to him and divorce after half a month the babies were born.

This way, the children would be under John’s name and have nothing to do with Edward.

Even if he investigates, he wouldn't find anything. Furthermore, Janet Louis would have cleared all their traits. He wouldn’t notice anything.

…

As Alice expects, Edward has this unexplainable affinity towards the children. Based on this affinity, he started to investigate them.

However, the result of the investigations is exactly what Alice told him. After she left him, she married John Blake.

But half a month after the babies were born, they divorce for an unknown reason. The children are under Alice’s care now. They are both four years old, and their surname is Roberts.

Is the truth just like what his mother told him? Alice wasn’t bearing his child, she looked down on him for turning poor and couldn’t provide her the luxurious life she wanted, that’s why she got rid of the child and married John? Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

But why, why did they got a divorce so quickly?

This doesn’t make sense to Edward.

However, one thing is for sure. Those children aren’t his, and Alice did betray him.

When thinking about this, Edward throws his file on the table so hard that it scares Allen Ginsberg.

“Director, Miss Joanna called a few times and says she couldn’t reach you while you were away. Do you want to…”

“Ask her to get lost!”

Edward is furious. He throws his word to Allen and Allen becomes too scared to tell him that, Joanna is here again.

…

Walking in her high heels and red purse, Joanna’s great figure shows perfectly. She looks mature and seductive. She heads directly towards Edward’s office when she steps out of the lift.

How dare the receptionist lies to her, saying that Edward hasn’t been back from his business trip. Didn’t the receptionist know who she is?

Just one call, Joanna already know Edward came back at 10 in the morning yesterday. She purposely put on her best clothes to see him. After all, they haven’t been seeing each other for two months.

Although both of them have announced that they are getting married but nothing has changed since two months ago. If she didn’t know Edward was away on a business trip, she would have thought he didn’t want to marry her anymore.

The thought of this makes Joanna feels threatened. This is why she comes to see him today.

When she reaches the Director Office and about to knock and walk in, Allen walks out from the door. He is dumbfounded but immediately bows and greets Joanna.

“Where’s Edward?” Joanna asks arrogantly.

“Our director is in the office,” Allen answers honestly. He feels pity for Joanna. After all, Edward is not in a good mood today.

Joanna hears what Allen said. She pushes the door open and walks directly into Edward’s office.

The atmosphere is rather tense in the office. Edward stands in front of the French windows, looking at the scenery outside, and dip in his thoughts. His back is turned from Joanna’s direction.

Looking at such a picture, Joanna gets scared. She has a feeling as if Edward is leaving her. She walks forward call his name.

Edward frowns when he hears the voice. Didn’t he make it clear that he doesn’t want to see anyone?

“What are you doing here?”

Joanna is upset. Normal couples would have greeted the moment they see each other if they are apart for two months. But she already knows Edward’s callous personality too well. She comforts herself and says, “Edward, I miss you.”

Joanna walks forward and tries to hug Edward from the back.

Edward turns around, avoided her hug, and walks to his desk. He sits down and looks at her with his cold eyes, “I got a lot of things to do. Go back if you have nothing to do here.”

“Edward, mother wants us to go back to have dinner with her. You’ve been away for so long, and we haven’t been visiting her for a very long time.” Joanna tries to persuade Edward by mentioning Janet

Louis.

She wins the bet. When Edward hears Janet’s name. he frowns. After a while, he replies, “I will visit her. You should go home now.”

“Edward….” Joanna calls his name again. She is not pleased.

“Haven’t you heard what I said?” Edward stares at Joanna and starts throwing heavy words.

Joanna grits her teeth and endures his attitude. She put on an ingratiating smile and says, “Don’t overwork yourself then. I’ll wait for you to call me.”

Edward ignores her and continues his work.

Joanna is forced to walk out of Edward’s office. She runs into Allen, who is holding a stack of piled-up documents. Joana gives a sniff of disapproval and blocks his way, “Did Edward sees anyone after he came back?”

“The Director is too busy to meet anyone. His schedule is packed.” Allen smiles and answers.

Joanna feels relief after hearing Allen’s answer, then she proceeds to the lift entrance. As long as he didn’t see that slutty Alice.
