Chapter 60: I Will Prove It
Edward has brought her happiness as well as sadness. She lives more peaceful without him over the past five years. And now, she just wants to live for her children.
She doesn't care about other things. Besides, she doesn't want to get herself involved with the relationship between Joanna and him. And she doesn't want her children and family to be hurt again. "I'm sorry, but I don't love you anymore."
His face is stiff because of her answer. He has been thinking what he can do to get her back on his way.
He thought she may say no.
But when he hears her answer, his heart is aching and he feels that it is hard to breathe.
"Is it because of Joanna?" Edward is grabbing her arms in an agitated manner.
Alice doesn't make a sound but turns back to avoid his eyes.
"Fine, I will prove to you that she can't stop me loving you!" He looks at Alice with unswerving determination.
Alice is looking at him and feels being touched a little bit, but it is only a litter bit. She is back to be clear-minded.
It is impossible for her to trust and love him like what she used to be since she may lose her family because of him.
She is no longer that Alice five years ago.
It is impossible for Janet to let Edward break up with Joanna. Besides, they have engaged and Joanna is the daughter of the mayor.
"I don't trust you. I hope that you will never show up in front of me anymore! I mean it." Alice said calmly.
The calmer Alice is, the more painful his heart is feeling. She doesn't want to see him, she means it for real.
Alice is afflictive for him when she sees he is feeling so painful. After all, she loved him so much five years ago.
"I've already moved on since you left me five years ago. And now, all I want is to have a peaceful life with my kids. It's unnecessary for you to act rashly."
After hearing what she says, he staggers and looks so desperate to death. He feels that she does mean it...
He wants to say something but fails. After a while, he says, "You really don't want to come back to me, right?"
It seems that he is suffering a heavy blow. Alice feels so sorry for him but she has to end their relationship, "It's over since we divorced five years ago. For me, kids are the most important." Edward can't help mocking at himself. Right, everything is over.
"You can just move on that easily though we stay together for seven years."
"It is hard for anyone to spend five years to let go of seven-year relationship." Alice tells him honestly.
His eyes seem like being stabbed and his tears well up.
He slowly lets go of his hand and closes his eyes slightly. It seems that he is avoiding something. Alice's heart is aching. She clenches her fists, trying to hide her real emotion.
"You are not willing to accept me again, and you don't love me anymore, right?"
"Yes."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Her answer makes the air quiet and gloomy. Edward's face turns pale with his eyes closed. Alice can't know what he is thinking in mind.
After a while, he opens his dark eyes and notices that Alice is worrying about him. He says with a smile, "Then let's start over again." "That's impossible!" Alice blurts out.
"Why?" He wears a charming and attractive smile on face. "Impossible? I felt that I can't see you anymore when you gave me the divorce agreement and left five years ago. But now we still meet each other again, right?" "I came back for my mom." Alice denies.
"I don't care why you came back. I just care that you are back, Alice." He looks into her eyes gently and softly.
Alice thinks Edward will give up and never show up because of what she says.
She has never expected that he holds a press conference the next day. He announces to the public on front of the media that he has cancelled his engagement with Joanna.
She is gazing at the man on TV who is talking in a low and sonorous voice. He says that he will compensate for the Hale. Besides, he tells the media that, "I wish I can spend the rest of my life with the one I truly love. And I hope that she can come back to me."
"At the bottom of my life, there was an innocent and kind girl who always encouraged and accompanied me until the day I succeeded. Without her, there will be no SA Group."
"SA Group is named after her surname and mine. SA Group is like our kid. I established the company purely for her."
The press is still going on and lots of people are guessing who the woman is.
Alice is standing in front of the TV and she is now too nervous to breathe when she sees that the reporters are trying to pump information out of him.
That is the last thing she wants to see. She doesn't want to be stared by the public.
Surrounded by lots of reporters, he smiled. His soft and dark eyes show that he is thinking of the woman he loves. With such a charming smile and handsome face, people can't move their eyes on him.
"I've said that SA Group is named after her surname and mine. I don't want to do something she doesn't like. She is the only one I will marry to."
He shows a dashing and bright smile and everyone is excited to hear that. It seems that he is proposing.
However, the reporters are getting more and more curious about the woman. What kind of woman makes the CEO of SA Group fall head over heels in love with her and promise in public.
"S" is the abbreviation of "Smith". Therefore, "A" must be the abbreviation of the woman's surname.
They are trying so hard to search any women who had something to do with Edward and the surname with the letter "A". They are so curious about who on earth she is.000
