Chapter 117: Remember What You Said
"Leave? Didn't you leave back then? Now you came back again to ruin his marriage with Joanna, I will not trust you anymore!" Janet says rudely. "So what do you want? I came back this time with no intention of contacting him, let alone get together with him!" Alice says while biting her lips.
Hearing this, Janet's mouth slowly raises a smile, "Really?"
"Yes!"
"You don't want to be with him at all, right?"
"Correct!"
"So, it's all Edward's own wishful thinking and has nothing to do with you?"
Alice grips the edges of her dress tightly, wishful thinking...remembering what Edward had done for her since they met. Perhaps at first, she was really determined to leave the relationship behind, but later...she still couldn't help but be moved, and uncontrollably attracted to him.
But there will always be something stopping them from being together, reminding her that they are simply not possible, and not right for each other.
"...yes."
Hearing Alice says that affirmatively, Janet seems like she has accomplished a great thing and smiles in satisfaction, "Good, remember what you said."
Alice doesn't say anything else, she turns around and wants to head towards the second floor to look for her two lovely kids.
Just as she takes her first step, Janet very 'kindly' reminded her, "If you're looking for those two children, you don't have to, they are not here."
"Where did they go?" Alice looks at Janet nervously, how can the children have disappeared?
"Seems like Edward haven't told you yet, of course, they're not his children after all, so what if he lost them." Janet says with a smiling face, not feeling anxious or guilty in the slightest.
On the contrary, the more nervous and worried she watches Alice becomes, the happier she is.
If it wasn't for that bitch, Alice, the Smith family and the Hale family would've already formed a family.
However, it's all ruined by Alice!
How can she not hate her!
"No, no!" Alice tells herself that Janet is just lying to her, just lying to her.
She runs to the second floor like a madwoman and rushes into the children's room, they are not here. She keeps on searching the next room until she finishes searching all the rooms upstairs, but there is no sign of the children. May cannot bear seeing her like this, just when she is about to comfort her, Alice grabs both her shoulders, "May, what she said isn't true, is it? Are the kids out to play? Where, where are they?"
May is also a mother, how can she not understand Alice's feelings.
But some words, at this point, can't be hidden anymore, "Miss. Roberts, don't worry too much, the children will definitely be found, young master has already sent many people..."
"Albert, Rebecca..." Alice stood there in a daze, unconsciously calling the names of her two lovely kids, her ears are listening to May, but her head is completely blank, it is impossible, Albert and Rebecca cannot be lost.

"May, what's the point of telling her? The children have been missing for three days and she, the mother has only realised now, which means she doesn't really care either, how are we supposed to worry about finding her children!" Janet says sarcastically with a carefree look, which deeply irritates Alice. She rushes towards Janet, questions, "Why are they missing!"
"How should I know!" Janet avoids Alice's tearful questioning eyes and retorts with a slight guilty conscience, at the same time gives May a warning look.
Ma yquickly shuts her mouth.
Alice swallows her anger, she almost says 'they are your own grandson, your own granddaughter' but she does not. She walks towards the door, thinking that she must find her two children.
As soon as she walks through the door, she bumps into someone and hears a deep voice, "Where are you going?"
When she lifts her red and worried eyes, she sees the tired man in front of her, wearing a stiff suit, and it is Edward Smith.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her pitiful look with red eyes like a rabbit, Edward's heart aches. He reaches out his hand wanting to wipe her tears, but she fiercely shrugs it off, he is stunned. "Where is Albert and Rebecca?!"
Edward stands there, a trace of panic flashes in his eyes, looking at the non-stop fear and worry in Alice's eyes, he speaks, "I will find them."
"You're a liar, a cheater! A liar!" Alice thinks of the fact that Albert and Rebecca have disappeared for three days, and he didn't even mention about it, even though that day...yes, that day. Thinking back to that day, Alice stretches out her hand and slaps him.
Slap!
Edward does not dodge it, he looks straight at Alice, if she can let off steam by hitting himself, so what if she hits again?
However, just because he doesn't care, it doesn't mean that Janet Louis who comes up behind him doesn't care.
How dare you hit my son!
"Bitch!"
Slap!
Alice takes a heavy slap from Janet, she looks at Janet and Edward firmly, but laughs, "Yes, you are a family, huh, Edward Smith, I never want to see you again in my life. If the two children are not found, I will never forgive you!" After saying that, Alice walks past Edward to leave.
But her hand is grabbed tightly by Edward, "Where are you going?"
"None of your business."
She tries to break free, but he is extremely strong, won't let her go at all, at last she simply stands there, looking coldly at Edward and asks, "What do you want?"
"I will find them."
"Am I supposed to say thank you then?" Alice says sarcastically.
Edward furrows his eyebrows tightly, his ink-splash-like eyes hide a tinge of pain, he looks directly at Alice, "When did we become like this?"
"Mr. Smith, I think there's one thing you need to understand, I never promised you anything. Moreover, we got divorced five years ago. I want you to keep that in mind, don't ever harass me again or even come into my life." These words are like a dagger, ruthlessly piercing into Edward's heart, stains his eyes with enormous pain.
After she says that, she clenches her teeth and strongly draws back her hand, her wrist is already flushed red. But she doesn't care and turns her gaze towards Janet, who is watching coldly from behind, and says a word using the shape of her mouth, "Satisfied?" Janet seems like she didn't see it and pulls Edward, "This kind of woman, you should just let her go, she doesn't love you at all, Edward!"
"She's right, I stopped loving you a long time ago!"
"Alice!"
She smiled, "Goodbye!"
After Alice left, Janet chattered, "Edward, forget about such woman, I'm sure Joanna is a thousand times better than her, furthermore she's an evil woman who drove into Jacquiline, you..." ""Mum!"000000
