Chapter 24: It's Unforgivable That He Dumped Mommy!
Alice Roberts didn’t expect that her lovable babies, who are asleep, get up right after she leaves.
"Brother, where does mom go? Is she seeing daddy?"
Albert Roberts gets to the desk and turns on the laptop. He inputs the password and enters into a hidden system, "It should be a hospital welcome meeting, it is very popular in China."
"All right," Rebecca Roberts replies with disappointment. "When will mommy forgive daddy?"
Thinking of daddy, Rebecca Roberts quickly takes out her mobile phone and continues to send GIFs to Edward Smith. Teasing Edward is her new hobby.
Albert let Rebecca plays happily, quickly moving his hand on the keyboard. There are too many things to be done since they've already come back home. How to let the man who dumped his mom lose everything is the most important thing to him.
Hum! It’s unforgivable that he dumped mommy!
It is a bit late when Alice Roberts gets to the restaurant, but luckily, she comes across Julie Swift who also comes late.
Watching Julie Swift keeps talking, Alice Roberts feels a lot ease although this is her first time to attend such an event after she came back home.
When they arrive at the room and come in, all the men whistle at them, look nothing like serious doctors as usual.
"Alice." Alice Roberts hears a voice and looks over. It is John Blake. She smiles and walks over with Julie Swift.
John Blake considerately pours the soft drink for the two women and puts it in front of them, looking at Alice, "They are asleep?"
"Yes."
The atmosphere is hit up after John Blake and Alice Roberts come in. From time to time someone toast them, but John Blake drinks all the wine by himself.
Gradually, John Blake is a little drunk. A gleam lights up his eyes, which makes him looks gentler and attracts many female doctors and nurses.
But everyone can see how thoughtful he is to Alice and are wondering what their relationship?
"Dr. Blake, do you like Alice?" Perhaps it is the atmosphere in the room that makes Julie Swift play a joke.
Alice Roberts is a little embarrassed, but John Blake is considerate and says, "We are just good friends. But if there is no suitable person for Alice, I would like to marry her."
"Good! This toast is to you." Julie Swift pours herself a cup of wine and drinks with John Blake.
Unaccustomed to such an occasion, Alice Roberts gets up and says she would go to the bathroom. When she comes out of the bathroom, she sees the door of the room being pushed open by the waiter. Under the dim and ambiguous light, Edward Smith stands in the corridor and looks indifferent.
He glances at her, which makes her feel like being soaked in the cold water. She stands there, unable to move, looking straight at him and wondering what he is doing here.
However, Edward Smith leaves without talking to her.
Alice Roberts then returns to John Blake's side and sits down, getting lost in thought and walking like a soulless person.
John Blake senses that she is absent-minded and says thoughtfully, "If you are worried about them, go back first and I will tell the others."
"Well, thank you." Alice Roberts does want to leave, who knows when Edward Smith will come to find her since he has already known she is here.
It's better to leave early.
John Blake worries Alice. He says goodbye to others and accompanies her to leave the room. The noise is much smaller at the moment the door is closed,
"John, I can go back by myself, you don't have to drive me."
"It's too late to find a taxi, I'll send you outside to take a taxi." John Blake looks straight at Alice gently, full of tenderness.
But it's this tenderness that makes Alice guilty, she owes John too much and do not know how to repay him".
"John......"
"Forget bring your coat again?"
John Blake looks at Alice with a smile and puts his coat on her. "Come on."
Alice Roberts notices the man who stands far away when she and John are about to leave. She opens her eyes wide and stops. It's Edward Smith!
The temperature drops immediately. An unnatural coldness spread from Edward's face, and the coldness is lightened up by the colorful corridor lights.
Noticing Alice's strange behavior, John Blake looks along her gaze. His eyes get dim when he finds Edward Smith. He steps forward and blocks Alice Smith.
Edward Smith steps in front of Alice Roberts gracefully, grabbing her hand and pulling her over him.
John Blake grabs Alice's another hand and glares at Edward Smith. "Edward Smith, let her go!"
"I'll give you a chance, Alice, and if you don't come here, I don't know what I will do!" Edward’ voice is so cold, as if it is from the hell.
"She has nothing to do with you anymore, Edward Smith. Don’t command her!" John Blake is always good-natured, but now, he could not help roaring up.
Edward Smith squints at John Blake, "As long as I want her, she can only be my woman forever!"
Bang!
John Blake pounces Edward Smith with his fist but the pounce is easily avoided by him. Edward Smith directly hit John Blake's right eye with a hook, "This is a warning to remind you not to interfere in our affair!"
"She's my wife, and you are the one who should stay out of this!" John Blake loosens Alice's hand, wiping the blood in his lip corner hard, and stares at Edward Smith coldly.
Suddenly, Edward's face gets frozen, "You married him?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Alice Roberts steps in front of Edward Smith, looking into his dark eyes, and says in an icy voice, "Yes, I married him."
"Alice Roberts!"
Edward Smith comes forward to grasp Alice's hand and directly drags her away. He says to John Blake who stands in front of him, "You can have a try to see whether you can stop me!"
With several violent movements, John Blake falls heavily to the ground with bruises on his face under Edward's last hook.
"John!"
Alice Roberts is dragged to a luxurious Bentley before she could talk to John Blake.
"Back to the villa."
With Edward's voice, the driver hurriedly starts the engine. Soon, the car leaves the restaurant and the scenery all the way is quickly moving.
However, there is weird silence inside the car.
Alice Roberts is worrying about John Blake and gets angry with Edward's violence, so she doesn't want to talk to him at all.
