Chapter152 The Condition
Alice bites her lip. She knows what Janet's purpose is. Janet just wants to stimulate her by saying these words. But it is undeniable that Janet's goal has been achieved.
Even if she tells herself a thousand times not to fall in love with Edward again, she still can't help but cares about everything about him. Especially when she hears that the pressure and problems he is experiencing are all due to herself, how can she just look on with folded arms?
"Do you think he really loves you?" A glimmer of dark light flashes through Janet's fierce eyes, and she deliberately approaches Alice. The housekeeper on one side is a little worried and wants to persuade them, but he is shocked by Janet's eyes.
One is Mr. Smith's mother, and the other is the woman that Mr. Smith cares about. The housekeeper is anxious. However, the man brought by Mrs. Janet stares at him at this time, so he can't secretly call Mr. Smith to come over. He can only look at Mrs. Janet and Miss Alice in the living room from a distance, and he can't hear what they are talking about clearly.
Sitting on the sofa, Alice tenses up unconsciously. She watches the sneer on Janet's lips and has a bad foreboding, "I don't care if he loves me or not."
After all, if it wasn't for the child in her belly, she might have left Edward long ago.
Alice comforts herself, trying to ignore the tension in her heart.
"Really? If that's the case, why do you live here? Joanna said that you promised her to leave here, but you actually stay with Edward. You left him back then, and now you appear again. Alice, You are a bitch!" Janet becomes angrier as she speaks, steadily staring at the woman in front of her that she can't get rid of.
Alice looks at Janet, "I don't want to stay here either!"
Janet is taken aback for a moment, then she laughs mockingly, "Then why don't you leave?"
Hearing this, Alice bites her lips tightly, and lowers her struggling eyes. At first, when she knew that she is pregnant, her first thought was to have a miscarriage and to leave this place of troublesome with her children and mother.
But Edward knows about this matter. His gentleness, his deeds, and his tears make her heart mess up all of a sudden. Obviously she should be more resolute, so that he will not face the attack and embarrassment of the Hale family, and Janet and Joanna will not try their best to target her.
Although during this period she doesn't promise to remarry with Shen Mo Chen, she doesn't leave him as resolutely as before. She is still hesitating.
Janet seems to see what Alice is thinking in her heart. Her voice suddenly becomes less sharp. She curls up the corners of her lips and even sits across from Alice. She orders the housekeeper to serve tea, picks up the tea cup elegantly and takes a sip, then she looks at Alice contemptuously, "How much do you want?" Alice is stunned for a moment, and then she realizes that Janet has mistakenly thought that she is staying here for money. She feels very ridiculous and asks, "Do you think Edward can't afford the money? I think as long as I speak, he will give it to me."
A sullen expression flashes across Janet's face. She glares at Alice and says coldly, "I already know what kind of person you are. Just tell me, what exactly do you want to get before you leave him?"
"The key point now is not me, it's that he doesn't want me to leave at all." Alice replies.
"Since you don't love him, what's the point of staying here? I think you are a smart person. You can ask for a price, and I can make you take the two bastards and your mother out of here. But if you don't cooperate with me, don't blame me for being impolite to them." Janet doesn't want to continue entanglement with Alice, so she offers the condition straight away.
There is a trace of hatred in Alice's eyes. What she hates the most is that these people can always feel superior and threaten herself with the families she cares about.
But what can she do even if she hates it?
She hates herself being threatened even more!
Seeing Alice doesn't say anything, Janet becomes impatient, "I can feed you another bowl of medicine now, and Edward will still choose to believe me."
Until hearing this sentence, Alice's eyes have a slight change, including fear and a flash of hatred. What happened five years ago comes to her mind gradually. The feeling of despair, sadness and fear come to her together. She feels her hands and feet getting colder and colder. "If you're smart, I don't have to do it myself." Janet is like a poisonous snake, she sneers at Alice and approaches her step by step. It is clearly March in the spring, but Alice feels the cold of winter, and a kind of inexplicable sadness is born in the bottom of her heart. If Janet knows that this is really her grandson, will she still force her to abort in this way?
Alice thinks of the scene five years ago. Maybe from the beginning, Janet never believed in her.
After a while, Alice speaks in a low voice, "I don't intend to give birth to this child, but..."This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Since you don't want to keep this child, when you go to the next prenatal examination, I will arrange for the doctor to give you an abortion. As long as you leave Edward, your families will be fine." Janet interrupts Alice directly, she can't help feeling excited. Alice is not in the mood to listen to what Janet says later, she only knows that Janet talks about a maternity center before she leaves... She says that it is an industry owned by the Smith family. Go there for a maternity check and all problems can be solved... Not long after Janet leaves, Edward hurries back.
When he sees Alice, he can't hide the tension on his face. He steps forward to give her a strong hug with a trace of unknown fear.
His emotion suddenly infects Alice. Alice's nose is a bit sour, she doesn't know what to do next. Should she believe in Edward, or should she be cruel and have a miscarriage and take her mother and children away as Janet said? In that case, Edward will hate her, right? After hugging, Edward thinks of something. He lets go of her and looks her up and down for several times, then he asks, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
Alice doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. If Edward cared about her so much five years ago, would everything later never happen? But now her mood has changed. Once bitten and twice shy.
"I'm okay." This is the truth. This time, Janet doesn't have any excessive behavior except for the excessive words at the beginning.
"What did she tell you?" Edward knows that his mother never likes Alice. This time she forcibly breaks into the villa while he is away, she would definitely not say anything nice.
However, to Edward's expectation, Alice shakes her head, "She didn't say anything."
Obviously, Alice doesn't want to tell him. The more she behaves like this, the more disturbed Edward is. His deep eyes fix on Alice, and an invisible pressure pounces on her. She avoids his sight and closes her eyes. Her heart is extremely contradictory.0000000
