OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 32: Mommy Doesn't Like Him
John Blake is a sensitive man so he can tell that Alice Roberts has something on her mind, but she doesn't say anything all the
way. On the contrary, when he comforts her about the patient thing, she says everything is fine. So John Blake could not say
anything more.
When they arrive at the kindergarten, Alice Roberts gets delight as she sees her two cute lovely babies. Nothing is more
important than her children.
Both children like John Blake, and when they see him coming to pick them up, they smile brightly.
Watching from afar, Alice Roberts can't help wondering would it be the same if Edward Smith came to pick them.
But soon Alice Roberts pushes the idea away. He is going to marry Joanna Hale and already had a kid. Alice Roberts, snap out
of it.
In the evening, John Blake says he wants to cook them a meal and it gets Albert and Rebecca's approval, which makes Alice
Roberts sad. Isn't she a good cook?
"Mommy has been working all day and it's too hard to cook, so I'd prefer uncle John to cook." Albert Roberts explains.
Rebecca Roberts nods and adds, "And Uncle John is better at cooking."
"......" Alice Roberts completely doesn't know what to say.
John Blake smiles and looks at Alice Roberts and the kids. He cannot help but hope that he can see them every day, but...
After dinner, Alice Roberts sends John Blake away because they both have to work tomorrow.
After they left, Albert and Rebecca sit on the coach and start to chat.
"Brother, what should I do? I suddenly feel that it's good for mommy to be with Uncle John. He is not as good-looking as daddy,
and he doesn't have as much money as him. But he can cook, and he has been treating mom very well. It seems he is more
suitable to mommy."
Rebecca Roberts nods with affirmation while she's talking.

Albert Roberts glances at his sister and replies casually, "Mommy doesn't like him."
"..." Rebecca Roberts looks at Albert Roberts with dismay, about to shed tears, "All the kids in kindergarten have daddy coming
to pick them up, but we don't. Rebecca wants a daddy too."
Albert Roberts puts down his phone, looks at Rebecca Roberts and says, "First of all, fake crying is also a skill. Try to use some
eye drops the next time when you make fake crying. Second, those kids are retarded, why do you compare yourself with them?
Third, the heartbreaker is our daddy no matter how bad he is. For Mommy's sake, let's wait for some time."
Rebecca Roberts, who is caught pretending by her brother, stops crying and says with her pouty lips, "I can wait, but I won't let it
off since he dumped mommy!"
Albert Roberts starts worrying his daddy. No wonder they often say on television to never offend a woman. And it works for his
sister too even if she's only four years old.

The next day, Alice Roberts comes to the hospital, preparing to have no patients. But she still couldn't bear when she has been
waiting for the whole morning and no one comes.
Even Julie Swift thinks this is going too far. She rolls up her sleeve and wants to rush to the dean's office to ask him, But Alice
Roberts stops her, "Calm down, Julie, listen to me. It's not what you think."
"I told the people in the outpatient department and they said they couldn't put your name on it without permission. It really pissed
me off. "Julie Swift says indignantly.
Alice Roberts takes a deep breath, makes up her mind, looks at Julie Swift and says, "You stay here, I'll go find him."
"I'll go with you."
Alice Roberts stops Julie Swift. "He did it just to force me to find him. Just stay here, I'll be all right."
Coming out of the hospital, Alice Roberts takes a taxi to the SA Group and wonders what to say when she sees Edward Smith.
It's obvious that he's forcing her to resign. How ignoble he is! He can just fire her if he doesn't like her to work there. Waiting for
her to quit herself? That's impossible!
She's not the one she used to be.

"Here we are, Miss."
Alice Roberts pays the taxi driver and pauses when she sees the edifice in front of her.
Compared with the office building five years ago, this edifice is a testament to how much it has changed in her absence.
This is the first time she comes to this building.
Taking a deep breath, Alice Roberts walks over to the reception desk in the lobby.
"Hello, I want to see Mr. Smith."
"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asks politely.
Alice Roberts frowns and bits her lip, "No."
"Sorry, we can't let you in without an appointment," says the receptionist.
"But I have something really important to talk to him. Would you please let me in?" Alice Roberts says, looking at the receptionist
with her clear eyes.
However, the receptionist repeats what she just said and rejects her.
Alice Roberts has no choice but to sit on the sofa in the waiting area. Since there is no way to come in, she has to wait for him to
come off work here.
No matter what happens, she'll settle this matter today.
As time goes by, people come in and out through the lobby, but none of them is Edward Smith.
She knows that she could call Edward Smith, but five years ago, she has told herself she would never call him again.
Even if the number has been engraved in her mind, and even if Edward Smith has never changed it in all these years.
Suddenly, the receptionist comes up to her and asks politely, "Are you Miss. Alice Roberts?"
Alice Roberts nods doubtfully, "I am."

Hearing this, the receptionist takes a relief and says in apology, "Our President told me this morning that you could go to the 18th
floor if you want to see him."
Alice Roberts freezes for an instant. Edward Smith knew that she would come to him.
In this way, Alice Roberts is surer that it was Edward Smith who did the hospital thing!
"Thank you."
Alice Roberts gets up, steps to the elevator on her high heels, and presses the button of the 18th floor.
Soon she gets to the top floor. All the staffs here wear formal dresses and look like elites.
She feels alienated from the others because she wears a casual white dress.
One man in glasses walks up to her and asks with a smile, "Can I help you?"
"Hello, my name is Alice Roberts and I want to see your President."
The man stuns for a moment and looks at Alice Roberts unnoticeably. He pulls back his complicated gaze and holds out his right
hand to show the way to Alice, "This way please."
"Thank you."
