OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 11: Don’t Give ME That Look!

"Kid?" Edward Smith feels confused. He pinches her jaw and asks, "What are you talking about?

"What kid?"

"Nothing, Mr. Smith, I should go." Alice Roberts stands here, biting her lip and staring at his nervous face. The confusion in his eyes makes her a little surprised.

He seems not to know that Joanna Hale forced her to sign the divorce papers by using the baby as an excuse.

Forget it! All those things are none of her business!

"You won’t get a taxi for an hour, and just come in the house if you don’t want to get killed by the rain!" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Edward Smith says and lets go of her hand, brushing past her and heading to the elevator.

Edward Smith stands at the elevator door for a long time, but the woman behind him still stands in the same place. He suppresses his anger, roaring lowly, "Come in!"

What a bad-tempered man!

Standing where she is, Alice Roberts doesn’t move. She feels suffocated by him and longs to escape.

"I just want to stand here to take shelter from the rain; I just called the Uber..." Alice Roberts says. She just wants to get away from him.

"Do you forget that the outside car is not allowed to get in here?" His indifferent voice comes, accompanied by a thunderclap.

Speechless, Alice Roberts trudges slowly towards him.

"Get in here!" whispered Edward. Looking at her wet clothes, his eyes dims.

Edward Smith holds the door open button, waiting for her to come in.

Alice Roberts shivers, heading into the elevator.

Standing wet in the elevator, Alice catches the finger that has let go of the button. An unexpected feeling of affection strikes her, making her heart twitch slightly,

Immediately, a tall and sharp figure also walks into the elevator too.

The door closes and Edward Smith presses the floor button.

When they crowd in this narrow space, the unique smell lingers around Alice Roberts and makes her breath rapid.

It is just two seconds, but Alice Roberts feels as if it has been two centuries.

She stands against the wall, lowering her head and being afraid of looking at him.

......

"Don’t give me that look!"

Edward Smith takes off his coat after he got out of the elevator and then unbuttons his shirt.

He does not like the damp feeling, and his handsome face was full of displeasure.

Standing in this familiar living room, Alice Roberts is in a daze for a moment.

Five years ago, she was the hostess of this house; five years later, she is the guest.

However, the layout of the house is the same as it was five years ago, like it has never changed.

"Go take a bath!" Edward Smith says in a commanding tone while he is bare to the waist.

Alice Roberts is stunned, staring at his muscular body and flushing. She shakes her head, saying, "I don’t need a bath, I’ll wait until the rain stops..."

"I’ll take you back after your bath!" Edward whispers. He grabs her wrist when he senses that she wants to shun him.

He really hurts her though he didn’t use too much strength. Why he is still so bossy and not even changes a little after so many years?
