Chapter 56: Have No Social Conscience
Alice hangs up before Edward says anything.
Found out that Alice has hung up her phone, Edward becomes cloudy.
Alice hangs up the phone angrily and she decides to turn her cell phone off in case that Edward keeps calling her the whole day. She thinks that she'd better change a phone number tomorrow since she doesn't want to have too much to do with him anymore. At the moment she is about to turn off her cell phone, it is ringing again. But Alice hangs it up relentless.
Edward doesn't give up. But Alice shows no mercy and removes the battery. Edward, she won't answer your phone!Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Alice feels the world is finally at a peace.
She takes a deep breath and shakes her head trying to forget all those troubles. But when she is about to take a shower, she hears the piercing sound of cars downstairs. "Who the heck is that? That's so annoying!"
"Where's his social conscience?"
Having such thought in mind, Alice walks to the bathroom. However, the car still keeps honking. She frowns and she is afraid that Albert and Rebecca will be woken up.
The sound disappears before she walks over to the balcony and tells the driver to stop honking.
But after a few seconds, there comes the sound of knocking.
Her frowns and she is wondering who comes here so late at night.
Someone keeps knocking the door so that Alice can do nothing but opens it. Then a man's face with black cold eyes, straight nose and thin pursed lips comes to her sight. The one who has such a perfect face must be nobody but Edward. Alice is stunned for a few second at the moment she sees him then she slams and locks the door immediately.
Edward who is shut out of the door is in a daze and this is his first time to see a woman treats him in this way.
He continues to knock the door.
Alice is in a rage and thinks he is like a ghost who is haunting her.
Fine, just keep knocking! She won't open the door! Never!
But Edward doesn't tend to stop and keeps knocking.
Alice has to open the door again since she is afraid that the knocking will disturb the neighbors.
When she opens the door, she notices the complacency from his eyes, and she grits her teeth and sneers, "Mr. Smith. I will sue you if you keep disturbing me! Got that?"
Edward shows her a perfect smile revealing his white teeth and answers, "Do you need me to tell you the phone number of the police chef."
Alice is grinding her teeth in anger, and thinking that, "Fine, you are born rich! You are terrific!"
"I need to talk to you."
"But I'm sorry. I have nothing to talk with you."
Edward is not angry though Alice is indifferent to him but he reminds her kindly, "But it is fine if you want to talk in this way."
Alice really wants to punch him but she doesn't want to let him get in. However, she doesn't want her to be misunderstood by her neighbors so that she has no choice but to let him in. Edward grins and he looks so sexy and charming with such a smile.
She stares at him and then sits in the sofa. "Say it."
Edward can tell that Alice is in a bad mood from her impatient tone, so that he cuts to the chase and says, "I've told that my mom went to the hospital and found you today."
"So what?" She doesn't care. Janet is his mom. She doesn't expect that Edward will do anything for her since he trusted what his mom said at that time, so he will do the same now. No, she doesn't expect anything from him at all.
Alice acts indifferently which makes him feel uneasy. He comes here to find her as soon as he gets the address from Allen.
On his way to Alice's home, he is thinking that what he should say to her when he sees her...
"I didn't take good care of it, I..."
"Since you know that, so please never show up in front of me! I hope that this is the last time. I don't want to see you anymore, Edward." Alice cuts in and says in a determined voice. And she still looks so indifferent. Edward feels his heart is aching like being stabbed by needles when he hears that. She doesn't want to see him anymore.
No, he won't accept that!
Edward reaches out his slim and fair-skinned hands and grabs her wrist. Then he looks straight into her eyes and asks, "Look at me. Are you seriously that you don't want to see me anymore?"
Her delicate face looks a bit pale because of his rudeness. But she tries to avoid looking at his eyes and bites her lips firmly, "Yes! I don't want to see you anymore since you left five years ago!" His heart is aching because of what she says.
"Damn it!" Edward stares at her eyes, her nose and her lips furiously... There is a voice shouting from his heart. Then he kisses her on her lips like giving her a punishment.
He can't accept that she left him without his permission.
Alice is shocked when his lips with light peppermint fragrance touch hers. When she is back to herself and tries to push him away, she finds that she can't.
He is like a furious lion and controls her. Alice can't move at all and she is gnashing her teeth to stop him.
However, it seems that he is mad and insists to have a tongue kiss bossily. "Alice, you won't get rid of me!"
"No..." Alice isn't reconciled to him and is about to refute but he seizes the chance to give her a tongue kiss and she fails to stop him anymore.
Suddenly, there comes a loud slap then Edward finally lets her off. There is a palm print on his fair handsome face and it can be seen that she slaps him so hard. "Alice!"
Edward is in a rage and stares at her with his gloomy eyes. She is a bit nervous when she hears his low voice but she takes a deep breath instead.
"Edward, get out of here right now!"
"What happen if I don't?" He squints like a ruffian.
Alice is so angry and says, "I will call the police!"
"Do it!"
"You!"
They end in a deadlock but Alice just wants him to get out of here. But when Alice leaves the hospital, Edward realizes that the reason why he doesn't get married these years is because he still loves her. After a while, Alice calms down and tries to take a deep breath and she pinches her palm secretly. In order to let him not to see her anymore, she cuts to the chase.
"Edward, you and Joanna is getting married. Won't you feel sorry for her?"
Edward frowns, gazes at her and asks, "Do you want me to marry her?"0000000
