Chapter 153 Hesitation
"Can I go to the Maternity Center when I go for a checkup next week?" asks Alice. Maternity Center?
Edward furrows his eyebrows slightly. The Maternity Center is the property of the Smith family. Indeed, when he took Alice for check up for the first time, he wanted to go there, but in order to hide her from the truth of her pregnancy, he took her to a private hospital. "I heard that the hospital is well equipped, but if it's not convenient to change to there, then forget it..." Being aware of Edward's silence, she subconsciously lets go of this idea since she is also indecisive.
"Then we'll go there as your wishes."
Alice pauses and looks at Edward. His eyes are soft, but there is a hint of anxiety. In an instant, her heart seems to be pierced by a needle. "Shall I agree with Janet?" Alice is wondering.
Joanna has been in a very bad mood recently. Originally, she heard that Charles grabbed the child of Alice and Edward, and she was thinking about how to settle the child. As a result, although his father controlled the police and did not help Edward, the child was found. As for Charles, he was caught by the mysterious man and confessed that it was Joanna who asked him to kidnap the child!
This video is posted on the Internet. For a while, her image as a celebrity collapsed. Even the people who originally stood on her side and spurn Alice as a mistress also felt that Joanna went too far and shouldn't incite people to kidnap a child.
This is not a big deal. What irritates Joanna most is that Alice, the bitch lives in Edward's villa with peace of mind. Both Edward and Alice spend days together and it is intolerable for Joanna.
"The tea is so hot. Do you want to burn me deliberately?" Joanna directly smashes the tea cup on the ground, staring at the servant in front of her angrily.
The servant quivers with fright, but she doesn't dare to say anything. The young lady has always had a bad temper, especially in recent days. Today this is the fifth cup that has been smashed. "Get out!"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Yes." The servant is relieved upon hearing this.
Sitting on the leather sofa in the living room, Joanna's pretty face is overcast with rage at the moment. She couldn't help but burn in anger when she realizes that Alice might be living a peaceful life with Edward.
At this moment, the phone on the coffee table is ringing.
After picking it up, Joanna gives a cold snort, but still connects the phone.
"Auntie, what's up?"
Although it sounds that Joanna is impatient, Janet, on the other end of the line doesn't care at all. Instead she repeats what she said to Alice to Joann, "Joanna, don't worry. I will definitely not let that bitch give birth to her child, and it is also impossible for her to be with Edward."
Joanna sneers since she has heard it for several times.
She might have believed it before, but now she only hopes to see Alice disappear forever before her.
"Is it?"
"Joanna, please believe me. This time must be true. She has promised me to give up the child. As long as Edward knows that she secretly has an abortion, based on my understanding of Edward, he will never forgive her easily." Janet doesn't play the old tricks again. Edward didn't drop his idea that year for what Janet did. And that was because Edward didn't see Alice accept the abortion in personal.
On the surface, Janet has agreed to Alice's requirement, but in fact, she just wants to let her have a miscarriage. As long as the child is gone, Edward will understand what kind of woman Alice is. Even if he has doubts about what happened back then, he will never believe in Alice again.
Joanna doesn't take it seriously at the beginning, but when she hears the latter part of the sentence, her expression changes a little. Edward always trusts Alice since he loves her so much. According to the doctor, the child should be Edward's. Therefore, if Alice gives up the child without informing Edward, their relationship would go sour soon. At that time, she might get a chance to...
"How could Alice promise to give up the child?" Joanna reminds the key point.
"She doesn't love Edward at all and she just wants leave here with her mother as well as her children. I promised to let them go and give her a large sum of money. What else does she want?" Janet replies with disdain. Joanna listens carefully and snorts coldly. As expected, Alice is a bitch!
Wakened by a nightmare, Alice suddenly opens her eyes. Her forehead is still drenched in cold sweat. When she sees the familiar and deep eyes, her heart tightens and her pupils unconsciously dilate.
She dreamed that she had gone to the Maternity Center and agreed with Janet's plan to have an abortion. Edward arrived at a critical moment. His eyes were full of pain and disappointments, making her feel like a sinner.
His eyes make her feel uneasy and keep struggling.
When did he sleep next to her? Alice is not sure.
Looking at the dark circle under his eyes, Alice couldn't help but recall how many calls he received yesterday afternoon when he came here with her. He stayed with her for a while and then went out.
Alice thought he would not come back, but when she opens her eyes at the early morning, she sees him lie beside her at the first glance.
He is asleep, but his eyebrows frown subconsciously, as if something is suppressed in the deep of his heart, which makes her a little uneasy. She couldn't help but reach out to smooth out the frown.
But when her hand is about to touch him, he opens his eyes abruptly. She subconsciously retracts, but is held by him in the next second.
His hands are cold, and since he is holding her hand in this way, the slight chill seems to penetrate her body.
Before she could react, she is embraced by him, and his deep yet mellow voice rings in her ears, "Alice, you won't leave me, will you?"
Alice is taken aback for a moment. Her raised hand is somehow placed on his back. She feels inexplicably distressed. If it weren't for this child, she really wanted to leave him.
"I always feel that it is inauthentic that you are staying by with me now. When Rebecca disappeared, I was aware of your fear in your eyes. In fact, I was more afraid than you at that time. I was afraid that if we didn't find her, you would hate me forever for it. Alice, how can I convince you that I will protect you and not let you go through the same pain as before?"
Edward is buried in Alice's arms, and the deep and hoarse voice penetrate Alice's ears very clearly, his mind, and his heart... The heartache occurs to him all of a sudden.
Alice is in a daze and she doesn't feel the soft touch on her lips immediately. He kisses her gently and softly with a stream of fear and worry, making her unbearable to push away, so she just quietly closes her eyes. The pain in the heart is spreading away gradually. Two days later. Alice, who has stayed in the in the villa all day without going out, decides to take her children to the kindergarten personally. Edward has found a high-level private kindergarten for Rebecca and Albert.
Those who can enter this kindergarten are all from notable family. The teaching facilities are first-rate, and the security work is also well done.
Edward decides to send the children to this kindergarten after Rebecca experienced the kidnap a not long ago.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
