Chapter 91: Check
After speaking, someone applauds, "Well said! Joanna, I do not like your actions, don't think that because your father is the mayor, you can just come whenever you want!" "Jacquiline!"
"Alice." Jacquiline steps forward, she passes through Joanna who's turning hostile and walks up to Alice.
Seeing that Alice and Jacquiline are still as close as sister, Joanna sneers and stares at Jacquiline, "If it's really that good, why didn't you come out from the very first?" Right when Jacquiline wants to say something, Alice pulls her and speaks to Joanna, "Miss Hale please save your check and go away, I do not welcome you here!" "You!"
"Miss Hale, please!"
Joanna takes an evil glance at Alice, her gaze falls onto Jacquiline, it looks a bit ruthless, okay! Alice, do not blame me if I go hard on you since you don't want it the easy way!
Jacquiline unexpectedly dares to insult her too!
She remembers this as something unsettled!
"Alice, just now I..."
"Jacquiline, I know, I won't trust Joanna's words, we've known each other for so many years so how could I not understand you. By the way, last time when you called and I didn't answer, I have always wanted to ask you but I'm so busy recently that I ......" Hearing that Alice doesn't mind at all and still considers her as a friend that says everything on her mind, Jacquiline suddenly feels guilty, what have she done?
So what if she secretly has a crush on Edward for so many years? Edward and Alice is the match made in heaven, right? She knew it since 5 years ago, how could she fight for Edward now. "Sorry... Alice." Jacquiline steps forward and hugs Alice softly.
Alice pauses, and then she smiles and hugs Jacquiline back. Even if she doesn't know why Jacquiline says that, but she believes that Jacquiline didn't do it on purpose, if she had done anything.
When Edward arrives at the clinic, it's exactly Alice's time to get off work.
John drives to get Alice and go to the kindergarten with her to pick up the two babies, while Edward also drives his car and stands on the other side, this makes Alice hesitate a lot.
In the end, she walks towards John's car, Edward frowns and becomes gloomier.
"John, I'm sorry for today, I have to say something to him." Alice feels sorry to say that, her clear eyes looks straight to John.
John smiles courteously and stretches his hands out to rub Alice's head, just like a big brother. Yes, he knows that Alice always considers him as her big brother.
Some things are just not meant to be, even if you waste more efforts.
If he can't take care of her as her lover, then it's also worth it to keep her company as her brother, forever.
"Okay, call me if you need me, you can go now."
John's warm gaze makes Alice's eyes reddens and her nose tingles. Alice nods, turns around and walk towards Edward.
When Alice walks near to Edward, he suddenly pulls her, it makes her stagger and finally falls into his wide chest. He bites her little ear, he bites it softly like he's angry. It feels a bit hurt and itchy, and it makes her tremble. Edward seems to be very pleased of her reaction, soon after he holds her chin by force and takes a challenging glance at John.
John looks lonely, he knows if Alice really wants to resist then she wouldn't have chosen Edward, perhaps she hasn't notice it herself that her heart is once again inclined to Edward......
When Alice comes back to her senses and wants to push Edward away, he embraces her slim waist tighter so she can't move at all, "Let me go!"
However, his lips keeps stroking her earlobes, the touch on her most sensitive part is so soft and every breath she take is full of his mint breath. She wants to break free but she doesn't know when he'll lose his energy... "Don't let him pick you up again, okay?" his tone sounds a bit resentful, his thick voice makes her ears becomes red like cherry, bright colored and lovely.
She doesn't speak, but it's very clear that she refuses to that.
He's a bit angry, he holds her chin by voice, forcing her to look right at his eyes. Her eyes is clear and has no fear, this sort of expression makes Edward feel unhappier. "Okay, same thing, I won't get in your car!"
Her stubbornness makes him angry, but he also knows that the Alice now is different than before, if he force her more than this, it'll only be a boomerang for him.
The next day, Janet calls Joanna to tell her that Edward will come home for dinner tonight.
Joanna is very happy to hear that.
But thinking of the humiliation she got at the clinic yesterday, Joanna feels even more resentful, since she was a kid, she has never been treated like that, moreover, Alice even dares to steal Edward from her! She just needs to find a way and make Alice disappear forever.
Joanna holds back her own thoughts, she puts on a Kieffer skirt and delicate make up, after all she'll eat dinner at Smith's, and Edward will be there too.
Joanna's emotion gets better only when she thinks of Edward.
It's just that......© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Strange, it's about time for dinner, where's Edward going to?" Joanna feels a bit confused looking at the black car that leaves so quickly.
"Follow that car in front of us, be careful and don't let them notice." says Joanna to her driver.
The driver nods and doesn't ask more, he immediately follows Edward's car.
Once Edward thinks that the car he booked for Alice has arrived, he's quite happy, his handsome face becomes gentler and he doesn't notice the car that's following him.
When Edward arrives at the car dealership, the car dealership manager already stands at the door waiting for him.
"Mr. Smith." he greets him with respect when he sees Edward.
Edward nods, and walks right away to the car dealership.
"Where's the car I've booked?"
"It's here, once it arrives, I immediately called to inform you."
The manager leads Edward to a car.
This is a limited edition car, it's very suitable for Alice, this way, she doesn't need to ride public transportation or John's car.
For anything, like picking up the two babies will be much easier too.
Thinking of the two cute kids, Edward smiles a bit.
The manager looks at Edward.
Is it worth it? Isn't it just a limited edition car? The grand Mr. Smith smiling to a car like that, it's something unusual.
"I'm very satisfied. Send the car to this address."
After Edward informs him of Alice's address, he takes another look at the car and nods in satisfaction. He turns around and walks to the exit.00000000
