Chapter 140 Don't Want To Try Again
He is afraid that she will disappear in front of him again.
"I didn't jump into the sea back then, and I certainly won't today." Alice smiles and says softly. However, the softer she is, the more Edward dares not think about what kind of mood she used to come to the seaside.
She stretches out her hand to open his hands which firmly grasps her, facing him, saying clearly, "I was misunderstood in those days, the children..."
"Stop! Don't say it!" Edward stretches out his hand to stop her from going on. The past is not only the ineradicable scars for her, but also the truth that he has been afraid to face.
Alice pulls his fingers from her lips and continues, "Do you know what? At that time, I needed you more than anyone else, but finally, I heard the news that you and Joanna are engaged. I came here that night. Losing your trust and the fact that you and Joanna are engaged all made me so pain that I just wanted to jump into the sea. I couldn't bear the despair and sadness..."
Speaking of this, Alice looks at the boundless sea and recalls that night five years ago. She cried bitterly by the sea, and wanted to find Edward, but there was no way. He had already been with other woman, what qualifications did she have to find him?NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
At that time, she thought it is all over. If it were not John who had come to tell her that the children are still alive, she might have already died.
It is John who gives her hope to live.
"After that night, I decided to let go of you from my heart and leave."
Edward's ear moves as if he doesn't hear it. He looks at her and says to himself. Let go of him from her heart? No, she cannot have let go of him!
"Alice, it is my fault at that time. I only love you. We can start again. You believe me, please..."
Under the bright moonlight, his beautiful face is full of supplication. The man who is always like God has such a humble side. Alice cannot bear to see him and avoid his sight.
"You believe me. I can make you happy." Edward says in a humble tone, "I love you, Alice." "But I don't love you anymore, Edward. We broke up five years ago. You should know better than anyone else that I'm not coming back because of you." Alice reminds Edward cruelly.
Edward shakes his head, leans down and gently kisses Alice, as if he is trying to please her. Alice is a little sad. She bites her lips and is unwilling to let him kiss her.
"We can start all over again. Alice. Can you give me another chance?" Edward says.
"I can't believe you any more." Alice looks at Edward calmly. She had believed him five years ago. It turned out that she is wrong. She felt how fragile their feelings were when she was in prison.
The disappointment and powerlessness leave her in agony.
And she doesn't want to see the people who are important for her get hurt again.
"I don't want to try any more. Let me go, and let yourself go."
"No! No!" Edward grabs her arms and looks straight at her eyes. "If you don't have any feelings for me, you won't say that it is enough as long as I believe you."
Alice is shocked and stretches out her hands to touch Edward's face, "Yes. Even if I still have feelings for you, it is just the appreciation for your help. That's all." That is all.
Edward is standing there like being struck by lightning, looking at her gentle eyes. There is not any feeling he wants to see, as if he is just a familiar stranger for her. The sea breeze is cold. His heart seems to fall into the cold pool of the abyss in an instant.
For a long time, Edward laughs bitterly and bends down like a strong man is knocked down. "I never expect that I will have such a day, I will also have such a day..."
It hurts him. Edward continues to laugh. Until Alice feels something wrong and steps forward to see what happens to him, he stands up and says, "I'm ok."
"You..." Edward's face is white, and his thin lips are not a bit bloody. When the sea breeze blows, he is like a man coming out of the ice cellar. Alice cannot help but ask him.
He smiles, his deep eyes staring at Alice, "Are you concerned about me?"
Doesn't she have no feelings for him? Why does she still look at him like this? Why!
"Even if it's a stranger on the road, I'll ask if I see this." Alice bit her lip and says obstinately. The moment Alice finishes speaking, Edward becomes more frustrated. He laughs at himself, "Alice, you can be so cruel." Today, her indifference reminds Edward how cruel he is in the past. He does not believe her and thinks that she has betrayed him. He is engaged to Joanna and hurt Alice.
Who is to blame?
It's himself but not anyone who takes the blame.
City A on the island, there is a hot video which is spreading in the major news media recently. Edward does not attend to the wedding between the mayor of this city and SA Group, but goes to another wedding venue to snatch the bride. The scene that Edward grabbed the rebellious bride and left directly in a helicopter makes everyone shocked. He even abandoned the mayor's daughter and left with another woman. This is just a plot in fairy tales!
According to this incident, all the hosts begin to speculate about the identity of Alice and the information of John and others. Because the Smiths have concealed the marriage between Alice and Edward, the media does not get too much inside information. However, Edward's snatching of the bride makes the headlines. Moreover, it occupies headlines for several days. It inspires a group of women imagined all kinds of details. They don't pay much attention to Joanna who is "injured".
It is undeniable that Alice has married another man and has two children. Joanna gets a lot of sympathy because of her status as the mayor's daughter and the angle of being abandoned. For a while, there are many words on the Internet that despise Alice. Someone says that she has seduced Edward with tricks.
John, who is in the hospital, occasionally hears the discussion from nurses. He turns on the TV and knows how bad the public opinion on Alice is on the Internet and on the TV. They describe her as a bitch who has children but does not forget to seduce Edward who has a fiancée.000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
