OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

But she still responds coldly, "Yes, they are the most important people for me, so even if you have done more, I won't go back." "Then fall in love with me again."

Gazing at her with a smile, Edward is firm to win her back, which makes her suddenly feel guilty to look straight at him. Some things are out of her charge. Neither can she start nor end up. "Let's get married." He says clearly.

She wonders if something wrong with her ears, but his deep eyes are full of earnestness so that for a moment she falls into a trance. "You, you..."

"Alice, let's get married."

He repeats once again, "You are always the only person that I want to marry. I will regard Albert and Rebecca as my own children even if we have our own children."

"No!" Alice refuses desperately as she understands his words.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He steps forward while she steps backward in panic. Looking into his gentle and deep eyes, she finds no way to escape. "Tell me, what should I do so that you will forgive me? What should I do so that you will love me again?"

For a moment, she does not know how to answer. Malicious words fail her mouth in the face of his affectionate look.

It turns out to be that she is not determined as she thinks.

When it is getting dark, they return together back to the villa on the island. Instead of breaking into the room to force his way to sleep with her as he has done before, he disappears. She should take it easy, but she just cannot fall asleep in the empty room. She gets up and walks towards the door.

Dressed in her light-colored nightgown with her long hair thrown down at will, she is as lissome as an elf who has lost her way in the clear moonlight. She walks barefoot on the clean floor. When the butler sees her, she is stunned for a while. "Madam." Says the butler, bowing politely and addressing respectfully.

This salutation makes her uncomfortable. She wants to correct it, but she guesses that it may be commanded by Edward. He is always like this. But, anyway, she is not going to live here for a long time, so they can call her whatever they like. Thinking of this, Alice nods. She is about to back to her room when she is called by the butler. After all, she just wants to take a walk because she cannot sleep.

"Madam, master has shut himself in his study since you came back in the evening and has not come out yet. Would you like to see him?"

Hearing this, Alice is hesitant. It is now past twelve o'clock, and it is almost eight or seven hours from evening till now has he shut himself up in his study... The butler sighs as he looks at her hesitant look. He has just returned from the study, and however much he tries to persuade him, he is ignored by the master, which quite worries him. Although he does not know what has happened, it is obvious that things go wrong from the return of the young master and Miss. Alice. It might because of Miss. Alice. "Madam, please go to see the master, I think if you talk to him, he will listen to you." Says the butler, looking at her.

Alice frowns and wrings her hands together for a long time, then lowers her head. "Well, I get it."

On hearing this, the butler bends down, watching her go towards the study. He smiles, thinking that it seems that Miss. Alice is not so cold-blooded to the master. If it was the truth, it would not be longer before they reconcile with each other.

As she pushes the door aside, she hears the sounds of bottles that falls into the ground. She frowns, looking in the direction of the desk but to see no one.

She glances around, spotting that Edward is drinking in a corner.

It as if he has not noticed someone coming in. He dinks desperately. As she finds him, she hurries over and snatches the glass from his hand. "It's enough!" He hesitates for a while and looks up at her. His eyes are red and tipsy. But she knows that he is not drunk.

"Been drinking since the evening?" she asks.

"I don't know." He laughs at himself and lowers his head to fetch a bottle to drink again, but only to be taken away by her. "Stop drinking!"

Hearing this, he laughs lowly with melancholy.

"Why haven't you slept?"

She is speechless. Why she is still awake?

He doesn't trouble her, and she should have fallen asleep in such a beautiful night, so it is because it is a new environment or because he is not with her?

She does not dare to think deeper about it. Buckled by him, she can feel the warmth, which hastens her heartbeat. For a while, she forgets to withdraw her hands, letting him hold her hands.

"You can't fall asleep because of me, do you?" He looks at her expectantly, as if it was the last hope.

Instead of answering, she asks, "Would you like to go somewhere with me?"

As he rises, his disheveled hair looks casually decadent, far away from his usual image of shrewdness, but it is a different charm.

She draws back her hand. With empty palm, his eyes are dim. He knows that, though he can hold her forcibly, it is different from her own.

But at least, she is willing to take the initiative to find him. So is it possible that she has somewhere for him?

Alice walks out of the villa with Edward, feeling the coolness of the night. It doesn't take them long time to arrive at the beach, where the sea breeze caresses her face with a salty smell. Listening to the howling of the sea, she settles down. Five years ago, he was wild with joy, planning to give the key of this villa to her as a gift, but only to see the divorce agreement. At that moment, all he wanted to do was to search all over the place to find her.

But no matter how long it took, he couldn't find a trace of her until she showed up...

"On the day I left, I spent a night on the beach." "I love the sea, you know."

He trails off, "Yes."

"I've been with you many times when I've faced the sea. But that day, I went to the beach alone. Do you know what I was thinking?" "Alice asks, turning to Edward.

Edward grows pale at the thought of something. He watches Alice walk on toward the sea with the waves surging so fast that they almost soak her shoes. He reaches out and carries her into his arms, shouting, "No!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
