“I do really want to beat myself when I heard the truth from Charles Johnson. I know you are blaming me for I haven’t believed you, right?” How could he think at that time? Why does she doubt that she will be together with other man?
Edward begins to hate himself more and more when he remembers what he has said and what he has done when saw her again.
Does she has been disappointed to him just because of his doubt？
Kissing her is the only way for him that can prove she still here.
But for Alice, she is force to bear his kisses, there is a sour taste of tears in her eyes when his words comes into her mind, but she has to control herself from her heart being soften.
When she comes out again from the prison, the words to Joanna together with John’s illness, tells her that everything is impossible to turn back.
“No, I don’t hate you any more, it’s all over.” Maybe she just hated him when she was hurt by Janet and Joanna.
But now everything has been over.
“So, can we start again?” Edward is overjoyed and looks at him with hope.
“Edward…” she is calling him so gently just like 5 years ago. The voice from her mouth makes him happy. But the next sentence freezes the smile on his face momentarily, “We have finished. I won’t start again with you.”
“You don’t love him at all!” Edward shouts
“But I don’t want to love you again.”
At that moment, Edward feels a bit of inner pain, her peace, her words, even standing in front of him, but he can’t get close to her no matter what he do.
“Tell me how can make you promise to stay with me, Alice!”
His painful and sad face lets her bite her lips, how can she ignore him, after all, she loved him deeply once for a long time.
But they can no longer go on like this, otherwise more people will be hurt, and Family Hale as well as Janet will not let her and her family go…
She bites her lip, as if in decision, and lifts her clear eyes to Edward, “You should know that if I really want to be together with you, no matter what happens, I will stand by you, just as I did when I married you. But when I don’t want to be with you, No matter what you do, I won’t be touched. This is who I am, so let me go.”
“It’s impossible!”
His handsome face turns pale suddenly, even though he knows that she looks frail but has a strong heart. Once she has made a decision, she will not go back easily.
But he still wishes she could say something different. “Can’t we really start over?”
Seeing such a fragile look on a man standing at the altar, Alice can’t help feeling sick, but still hardens her heart and replies, “It’s all over now. I just want to take care of John and the two kids.”
Such a reply shatters the last a bit of hope in Edward’s heart, his black eyes is so dark, Alice seems can’t bear any more, but she thinks she has to give up something at this moment!
But what she doesn’t expect is that Edward fixes his eyes on her with a smile, which makes her feel there is something wrong, “Do we really can’t go back to the past?”
“Yes!” She answers, but with a little ethereal.
“You really don’t love me anymore?”
“Yes!” then she continues.
It seems that he has been stung. He closes his eyes, and there was an air of not being near strangers all over him.
She says nothing more just hoping he would let her leave here.
After a while, he finally opens his dark eyes, looks at her quietly, “Since you don’t love me now, then you should love me again.”
“No!” She tries to back up, but when she finds herself is just at the wall, she begins to be panic.
“You could have loved me then, why not now? Or are you afraid?” Edward stares at the nervous Alice, he seems to be confident again.
“No!” such kind of Edward has been out of her expectation. She thinks she will be compromised in the future.
“I won’t fall in love with you any more, I want to see John. I want to see the children!”
“If you promise to fall in love with me again, I’ll let you meet them.” Edward smiles slightly with very warm and gentle voice.
But she is startled. “You can’t do that.”
“Why not?” he replies with drawing near her, and he begins to stretch out his hand with the greatest ease to take her into his arms. Her struggle is of no use at all.
She seems to understand this, and stops struggling, but her body is giving out the smell of rejection.
“Even if you think I’m mean, I’d do anything to keep you here.” His deep and magnetic voice comes into her ears like a vow that she could not ignore, as if he would really do this.
In fact, she thinks t that he really would.
If she keeps refusing, is it really true that she will be locked in this isolated island by him forever and can’t see her mother, John and two lovely kids?
When she thinks of this her body unconsciously becomes rigid, and he smiles viciously, and he begins kissing her small earlobe and wandering in her fair neck…
“Alice, I don’t mind spending my whole life here with you, unless I pass away from this world.”
—
Alice thinks that since she has said so much ruthless words, Edward will give up and lets her go, but she doesn’t expect that he says he loves him.
Even if she doesn’t agree with it, his obstinacy is to confine her in the island.
This island is surprisingly beautiful, especially the sunrise and sunset. Facing the blue sea, lush trees and natural hot springs, anyone will consider it as an excellent environment for vacation and health.
If she had lived here five years ago, she would have felt very happy.
But now…
She just wants to know how long he is going to lock her in the island.
Should she be grateful that he doesn’t make her lose the contact with the outside world and she can surf the Internet and make phone calls, although the door is watched by bodyguards which made it impossible for her to leave the island and the villa?
When she calls Wang Ming, she gets the fact that when she is robbed, the scene was absolutely in a mess. John was sent to the hospital. Although the two lovely kids were panic, fortunately, they were not too afraid.
