Fortunately, the children’s photo only appears on the Internet for a while before it is withdrawn. Alice guesses that it is Edward who takes some measures to reach such a result.
But Joanna uses the two children to do such a thing, which makes Alice feel that Joanna is shameful.
But in front of the two little guys, Alice still behaves as usual. She doesn’t want the dirty affairs of adults to affect the happy growths of children.
Listening to Rebecca talking about the happy things in the kindergarten, as well as the embarrassment that her brother Albert has received a little red flower from a child, Alice can’t help but laugh.
Nobody knows when their topic has turned to the reporters at the kindergarten gate. Rebecca stares at Alice with round eyes, and asks, “Mummy, when will they not surround us and ask those questions?”
The little guy’s words make Alice feel a pain in her heart. She stretches out hand to touch Rebecca’s hair, and comforts her, “It will be soon, is Rebecca scared?”
“No, with mommy and brother protecting Rebecca, Rebecca will not be afraid. When I grow up, I must be as brave as Mommy!”
Hearing that Rebecca is so sensible, Alice feels warm. She responds with a smile, “Okay.”
Edward beside hears the conversation between the mother and daughter, his eyes flash slightly. After the meal, the servant takes the two children to take a bath. When Alice is in the room sorting clothes, she is suddenly hugged by him from behind.
“Shall I just disclose their identities?”
“No!” Without even thinking about it, Alice refuses him. Feeling that the body behind her suddenly becomes stiff, she realizes that she has been answering too quickly. She opens her mouth, “They have received enough attention now. I am afraid that once their identities are disclosed, it will only cause unnecessary trouble.”
He doesn’t say anything, but takes her into his arms.
She is petite and seems to melt into his body. Almost two months of pregnancy doesn’t affect her graceful figure, and his eyes light up. His thin lips are close to her ears at some point, sucking gently. The atmosphere is extremely ambiguous.
Her body becomes stiff because of his movements. Although she knows he won’t do anything to herself, the numb touch makes her utterly confused and disconcerted, so she quickly stops him.
“Let me go.”
“Let me hug you, okay?” He says pleadingly.
She bites her lip, “Aren’t you already hugging me?”
“But I want to hold you like this all the time, it will be better if we can live in this way all our lives…” Edward seems to think of something and asks, “What’s going on in kindergarten?”
Recently, he has been busy with family and company matters. He doesn’t notice that some people dare to block them in the kindergarten. “If Rebecca doesn’t say it to me, you will never tell me, right?”
Alice purses her lips. She originally thought she could solve these problems by herself. Besides, when she sees that the photos on the Internet have been deleted, she thinks he has already known about it.
“You don’t want to rely on me, so you don’t want to tell me. Or you think these things have nothing to do with me, so there is no need to tell me, do you?” Edward continues to ask her.
“No…” Alice responds.
“Then what is the reason?” Edward asks.
Alice keeps silent.
Seeing this, Edward’s deep eyes show a trace of sadness, “I know that what happened back then made you unable to trust me, and I know that you have endured a lot of pain. Alice, I don’t force you to trust me now, I will wait until you are willing to believe me. But I just… I just want to tell you that if you are hurt, I will suffer more than anyone else.”
She feels a little dry in her throat, and her eye circles are a little wet, but she tries to restrain her emotions. She is glad that she is being held by him behind, so at least he can’t see her expression, but his hoarse voice keeps coming from behind.
“Alice, I will never let you get hurt again.”
His words are as firm as an oath, which make her keep silent for a long time. After a while, she gently pushes him away and looks at him with calm eyes, “It’s already over between us, why are you so persistent?”
Edward looks at her firmly, “For me, you have always been the only woman I love. I can never let go of you in my heart, and it will never end between us.”
In an instant, his words and his tone give her the illusion that everything really seems like what he said. But when she turns to the news on TV, her eyes gradually become clear…
At SA Group, president’s office.
“Is everything settled?”
President Edward glances at him with a cold gaze, which immediately makes assistant Allen’s heart tremble. Recently, the company has been in trouble. He has struggled to solve customs matters before, but some problems appear inexplicably behind. Several companies that have been cooperating with them for a long time suddenly have objections to the product, making him very busy.
But what worries him most is the issue president Edward is talking about now.
The online news about president Edward and Miss Alice recently involves two children. What president Edward wants him to do is to cancel all the bad news about Miss Alice and the children on the Internet.
“President, the spread of the Internet is too fast, and…”
President Edward is also one of the most important figures in domestic companies. Even a straw in the wind will cause major medias to rush to interview him. Now that such an important thing happens, it will be impossible to control the situation for a while!
Especially in one of the popular forums, the gossip between Edward and Alice is very hot. The discussants seem to hate Alice very much and slander her particularly badly.
However, no matter how Allen contacts this forum, he has no way to get the forum to delete these contents. The forum says that he has the freedom of online speech, and no one has the right to make him delete these words.
“The forum is not very cooperative and is unwilling to delete it.”
“Really?” Edward glances lightly, “Then just destroy it.”
Uh…
Allen opens his mouth slightly, looking at the coldness in Edward’s eyes, and instantly understands what he means. Originally, this forum is also quite famous.
After being stopped this time, probably it will be difficult for this forum to return to a previous stage in the future. Although the Internet spreads fast, it is not easy to stand out from many websites again.
This can only blame the forum for being not sensible.
Suppressing his sympathy for this forum, Allen responds respectfully and walks out of the office.
When he leaves, Edward can’t help rubbing his temple. Recently, the company has more and more affairs. This time, if Rebecca doesn’t tell him, he almost ignores Alice’s suffering again.
If possible, he would like to marry her openly and declare that Albert and Rebecca are his children. But for their safety, he can only temporarily remain silent and continue to endure.
At this time, Alice comes to the hospital to visit John.
John’s condition is much better than before. His hands can move freely. Although he is not as flexible as before, he is already very satisfied. He also needs to do rehabilitation exercises on his feet, and everything is getting better.
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.
