OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 19: She Is Caught Up

"I can't see what happens inside."

Albert Roberts says coldly. Rebecca suddenly loses interest. Watching the woman on screen walking back, an idea suddenly occurs to her, "Brother, is mommy in there?"

Alberts Roberts turns his head and gives Rebecca a you-are-an-idiot look.

Rebecca Roberts smiles and leans close to Albert's face, rubbing her little head against his face. "Brother, I didn't expect that mommy and daddy were progressing so fast."

Progress?

Thinking about mommy's perception of that heartbreaker, Albert Roberts doubts it.

Making sure that Joanna Hale has left, Alice Roberts manages to push the man away and returns to a safe area, keeping a watchful eye on Edward Smith who is dangerous to her no matter how long it has been.

Edward Smith still lies on the bed, looking at her deeply, and then closes his eyes again just when Alice thinks he is doing something.

The minute ticks on, Alice Roberts frowns heavily because worrying about her kids. She glances at the bed and finds Edward seems to fall asleep.

She thinks for a while and decides to call them since she couldn't leave now.

So, Alice Roberts picks her phone and tiptoes toward the bathroom, she closes the door gently and dials the number.

"Brother, mommy calls!"

Rebecca Roberts cries excitedly and presses the answer button, "Mommy, you and... Hmm..."Before she says something, Albert Roberts grabs the phone and says, "Mommy, I'll take care of Rebecca. Are you going to work overtime?"

Listening to this, Alice Roberts feels guilty. In order to support two children on her own, she often worked overtime when they were abroad, so the children are so sensible. It is her failure as a mother.

"Baby..." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Albert Roberts immediately knows the reason when he hears Alice's sorrowful tone. He holds the phone a little tighter and says in a childish voice, "Mommy, work hard, then I and Rebecca can eat hamburger."

"Well." Alice Roberts nods and says with a broken voice. These two sweet kids are the greatest gifts that God has ever given her.

Whenever she feels hard in abroad, she would think of her babies and feels all the hard work is worthy.

When Alice Roberts is talking on the phone in the bathroom, the man in the bed opens his eyes and got out of bed to the bathroom. His eyebrows curl slowly. When Edward Smith opens the door, he sees the woman whose back is to him, talking on the phone with the gentlest voice he has never heard before, without even noticing that he has come in.

"Alice Roberts."

The man's deep voice suddenly booms out, making Alice almost drop the phone. She turns her head and sees Edward's dark face. Her heart is beating. Did he hear something?

She won't let him know the existence of her babies. They are all she has...

————

"Brother, has Mommy been caught?" Rebecca Roberts can't hear the voice on the phone, so she looks at Albert Roberts and whispers.

Albert Roberts wrings his eyebrow slightly, it should be the heartbreaker's voice. So mommy is with him!

"Who is it?"

“Just a friend." Alice Roberts dares not look at Edward in the eyes and says guiltily.

"Who is it!"

The man cold voice irritates Alice. She stares at Edward and asks, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
