OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Hearing Edward's words, Shane was taken aback and didn't know what to do.

"You know, she didn't want this baby in the first place. She wanted to abort him long before. It was lucky that I stopped her in time. Just because I didn't protect her and the kids well five years ago, she didn't even try to believe me now. It's my fault..." Getting all emotional, Edward picked up a bottle of wine from the floor and continued drinking.

Though Shane didn't really figure out what happened, he was pretty shocked hearing that Alice wanted to abort the baby.

Edward was beyond happy when he shared Alice's pregnancy to Shane.

It was the first time that Shane's ever saw a beaming smile on Edward's face.

But now Edward told him that Alice didn't want to keep the baby. No wonder he's so depressed.

"Edward, could it be a misunderstanding?"

Edward didn't respond to his question but kept drinking till tears filled in his eyes and blurred his vision.

Seeing this, Shane let out a sigh and lifted intoxicated Edward up. Though Edward had a great drinking capacity, he's never allowed himself to go this far. Maybe he's really hurt this time.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

When Shane was about to fasten Edward's seat belt, he vaguely heard his muttering, "Shane, I can't live without Alice..."

Edward was practically begging. Shane really wondered what's so good about this woman that let Edward be so inferior?

But he didn't ask anything. He just fastened his seat belt and drove him to the mansion.

It was the old butler who opened the door when they arrived at the mansion. Shane saw Alice around the corner when he was carrying Edward upstairs. Maybe it was due to the light or something else, she looked pretty weak.

Alice smelled alcohol from Edward when she went near him. She instantly got nauseated. She wasn't feeling well because what happened in the hospital. Coupled with the morning sickness, she's lost a ton of weight.

Seeing her, Shane nodded and said, "Edward was a bit drunk."

Then Shane paused a bit and looked at Alice hesitantly. But he finally said, "I know I'm in no place to judge you and Edward. But... I just want you to know that he really cares about you and loves you. Maybe he was wrong five years ago, but he just wants to be with you now. I really hope that you can give him another chance."

The light in the hallway was dim and Alice was with her head down the whole time, so Shane can't really see what she's thinking about. Feeling awkward, Shane continued carrying Edward into the bedroom.

Alice finally moved and helped him. When they entered the room, Alice said, "I get what you said."

Hearing that, Shane thought that maybe Alice still had feelings for Edward and they just had a misunderstanding.

With Alice's words, Shane was finally at ease. Glancing at the Edward, Shane just hoped that he can wake up soon and work things out with Alice.

Alice was about to take off Edward's coat when Shane left, but she was suddenly pressed on the bed by Edward. She was feeling extremely queasy smelling alcohol from Edward.

She struggled and tried to shake off that nauseating feeling. But to Edward, she seemed that she didn't want to see him.

He let go of her and murmured, "So this is how you think of me..."

Alice wanted to explain, but he just shut his eyes like he was falling asleep. Feeling sick, Alice rushed to the bathroom. On the second day, Alice went to Edward's room after hesitating, but he's already gone...

It was just eight o'clock. Did he wake up early and just leave?

Alice can't figure out why, but she felt upset thinking that maybe he left early because he didn't want to see her.

Sitting by the couch in the living room, Alice recalled what Shane said to her last night. She was touching her pregnant belly when the phone rang. It was Janet's call. Alice had no choice but to answer it. After hanging up, Alice decided to go to see Edward.

SA Group wasn't a strange place, but bodyguards still followed Alice tightly. They protected her from the crowd.

Alice was getting increasingly nervous as she approached SA Group.

Was he going to be happy when he saw her? Alice suddenly had a weird feeling when she remembered what Edward said last night when he was drunk.

She came with strong determination, but got more and more timid.

The bodyguards didn't think much, but they just knew that Edward still cared about Alice.

They brought her to see him today, so maybe he would be getting all excited and give them bonuses.

Alice has never set her foot on SA Group before, but legend has it that Edward founded this company for her. S stands for Smith and A stands for Alice.

She thought about what she's going to say to Edward the whole way here. Was she going to explain or...

The receptionist's eyes suddenly brightened up when she saw Alice entering the company. She even suggested escorting Alice to Edward's office.

Everyone in the company knew that Edward founded SA Group for Alice. Alice was practically a legend inside the company.

Declining receptionist's warm suggestion, Alice went up to the President's Office alone. Her bodyguards didn't follow her knowing that she would be safe here.

Pressing the button, Alice went out the elevator. She seemed to hear staff talking about Nivea when she went past the office area. She was shocked to know that even staff at SA Group were talking about the relationship between Nivea and Edward... Looking at the President's Office, Alice had a deep breath and noticed that Allen wasn't outside. After thinking for a moment, she opened the door. 00000000☐☐☐☐
