Chapter150 Short-lived Happiness
Although the situation after they wake up is uncertain, they still share this short-lived happy time together.
They didn't go to bed until early in the morning, so they wake up in the afternoon.
When Edward opens his eyes, the sun is already shining into the house. The sunlight passes through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, driving away the ambiguous atmosphere hidden in the room, and the warmth brought by the sun spreads throughout the room. His heart seems to be bewitched by the quiet time, and he gently kisses the brow of the person next to him.
"Alice, I love you!" Thinking of Alice's crying during sex last night, Edward's throat moves slightly, and he kisses Alice's eye again.
Her long eyelashes blink slightly. Edward suddenly feels relieved. Whether for him or her, what happened five years ago was a misunderstanding, and they were disappointed in each other because of this misunderstanding.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
They are two people who love each other, and they have always been in love so far. So what can stop them from being together?
He knows he loves her, so he will love her more deeply. Knowing where the purpose is, the whole world will make way for them. Even if the world does not make way for them or they have to overcome obstacles, he will always be by her side. He will prevent her from being lonely and helpless, and avoid her from living a vagabond life.
When Alice wakes up, she sees the gentle face of Edward before her eyes. He seems to become the same young boy that she first met. He travels through time and comes to the back of the suffering, just to say to her, "Alice, I love you!"
Alice can't help thinking of the madness last night. Edward kept repeating these words in her ears, his voice was deep and hoarse, as if he was about to engrave these words into her heart. Thinking of this, Alice's face turns red.
"John once found me. He said that Albert and Rebecca are my children, and that I have always been on your mind all these years!" Edward never beats around the bush in this matter. What's more, he was in a good mood when he heard about it, so he can't help but say it bluntly.
Alice is still in a state of ignorance when she just wakes up, but it does not prevent her from understanding this sentence carefully.
At this time, Edward then throws out another sensational news.
"I don't have any marriage engagement with Joanna. In the years since I saw you, I have only you in my heart. From now on, I will take good care of you. As for what Joanna and my mother owed you, I will ask them to pay you back." "Alice, I love you. Give me another chance, okay?"
Time is fleeting, life is short. Is she really going to spend this short life in repeated entanglements with Edward? Moreover, she really has affection towards him. It is precisely because she has love for him in her heart that she has refused him again and again. Because she is afraid of being hurt and being left behind again. But if she doesn't love him, how can she be hurt by him?
Edward does not immediately ask Alice to give him an answer. Time not only makes him accumulate wealth, but also enables him to be steady and mature in dealing with emotional matters.
Alice can feel Edward's speechless indulgence towards herself. Before, Edward would not let her meditate in this way even when he was in a gentle state.
He has always been a domineering person, bad-tempered and impatient. But now, he is willing to curb his short temper for her. Isn't this his best promise to her?
But the feeling of fear has been spreading in her heart. Alice does not reject him as usual, but also does not agree to him.
After eating, Edward still almost protects Alice as a rare animal, caring to the utmost. This feeling of being carefully cared for by others makes Alice's inner thoughts shake.
Alice returns to the room almost at a loss. When Edward is overbearing and bad-tempered, she will always find ways to fight against him, but Edward's current appearance makes her feel heartache.
He is such a proud and outstanding man, but he clumsily does some trivial matters without complaining.
Even though the matter five years ago was a misunderstanding, she was also wrong. In love and marriage, two people should trust each other. She did not fully trust Edward, so how can she ask Edward to trust her completely? But in this case, she still doesn't have the courage to take that step.
Edward doesn't say anything more, but he knows that the best promise is action, and Alice has already received it.
The atmosphere between the two people seems to be back to the beginning. If life was still as when they first met, they would not think everything was usual at that time.
Early the next morning, Edward takes Alice to the hospital for obstetrics and gynecology examination.
Coming to this place, Alice is in a complicated mood.
Edward pulls Alice who is in a daze and goes inside. The appearance of Alice at that moment makes him feel very illusory. He swears that he will protect her and their child! When it is confirmed again that she is really pregnant, Edward is still as happy as the first time.
Even as soon as Edward returns home, he puts the inspection report in the safe as a mark of happiness.
Edward's performance makes Alice unable to do anything to hurt him, but she does not let go of the anxiety in her heart.
As if he knows her uneasiness, Edward makes arrangements specifically that the matter of Alice's pregnancy must be kept secret.
Fortunately, Edward has already fired the nanny in the villa since that night. The two of them handle all the chores and trivial matters together.
It's like that they're back to the time when they just graduated from college. At that time, Edward was expelled from the Smith family, and they began to start a business together.
Life is simple and happy. The two lovely babies are used to living in the villa. When Edward goes to work, two babies take care of Alice.
Edward is still busy, but the focus of his life has gradually shifted. In the past, he started his business just to provide Alice with a better life. Then when Alice left, his purpose of making money seemed to be to take revenge on Alice. And now, he has no point in making more money, the meaning of his life lies in Alice.
However, a simple and happy life is always people's wishful thinking. They still have a long way to go in life, and they have to go through ups and downs.
The man who takes the helm of the Smith family abandons his old lover Joanna, and lives with a woman with a child. This matter is quickly learned by the media and widely publicized.
Although Edward does not make high-profile publicity about this matter, he himself is a pronoun for high profile, and this time it happens in the city instead of the island, so it is not surprising that the news of their cohabitation is revealed.
But fortunately, the fact that Alice has been pregnant is not known by the media, which is a blessing.
The reason why Edward and Alice conceal the news of her pregnancy is to avoid those who have bad intentions. More importantly, they don't want the Hale family to know about it. Since Edward left Joanna, the Hale family has officially fallen out with the Smith family. George often embarrasses Edward openly or secretly, but he has no way to take Edward down. This makes George so desperate and low-spirited that he hates Edward even more.
It is difficult for a person to achieve long-term prevention, and there are always times of negligence. Therefore, it can be seen that Edward has done everything he can do in order to better protect Alice.000000000000000
