145. Painful Honesty
Emma fell silent. She observed Lucas' face. No lies detected on it.
"If you really love Alice, shouldn't you understand her condition? She needs rest. The doctor said she was overwhelmed because she received too much information. If you talk to her now, you'll end up adding new data. Her head could hurt again."Lucas laughed cynically. He shook his head, refusing to believe it. Then suddenly, he grabbed the window bars as if to break them."I told you, I won't hurt Alice. I won't repeat yesterday's mistakes. So please, open the door now."Emma folded her arms across her chest. Her head shook firmly. "No. It's useless for you to beg. I won't open the door. Come back here when Alice's condition gets better."Lucas turned around. He paced back and forth, clutching his head and growling. Not wanting to give up, he started banging harder on the door."Alice! I want to talk to you. Please come out! Alice!"Related chapters

Suddenly, Alice cupped Lucas' cheek. She gave him a gentle rub like a mother would do to her child. "You're a good man, Lucas. Without you, I wouldn't have been breathing. I wouldn't have survived until now. But I'm sorry ...." She moved her hand to Lucas' arm. "I can't be with you. Not only because I'm married, but also because I love Edmund too much. He and I have sworn to be faithful to each other until death do us part. If there was no him in this world, I would be better off alone. There is no man other than him who can occupy my heart. He is the only one for me, and I'm sure you and Rachel are like that too." Lucas snorted. Looking away, his eyes flickered with heat. "So, there's no chance for me? You still chose him? You chose the person who betrayed you over your savior?" Alice shook her head faintly. "No, Lucas. Edmund never betrayed me. It was just Giselle and Elizabeth's instigation. I'm sure there must be a reason why he did what w
Mr. President's Lost Wife 147. Why Do You Keep Chasing Me?
Emma couldn't bear to see his misery. After hesitating, she said, "Alice went to calm down, Ed. I think it's better if you let her be. She'll come back when she's feeling better." "It's just the two of them, Emma!" Edmund's voice suddenly exploded. His lips trembled with anxiety. "A woman and a toddler. What can they do if they encounter wild animals or criminals? Why did you let them go? You should have kept them here." "Alice is used to adventures, Ed. Have you forgotten? Come on, don't exaggerate it. You two won't be apart for long. I'm sure she'll come back soon. Just let her calm down." "How do you know they'll come back, hmm? How do do you know?" Edmund's voice rose. "Don't lie to me, Em. I've lost them for five years. I was tormented every second of it. Now, it's only been a few days since I was able to be with them again. But you're asking me to let them go?" Emma shook her head quickly. "It's not like that, Ed. Earlier, Alice

Giselle clenched her jaw. Her hands turned into fists. "I have admired you for a long time, Ed. You're an extraordinary man. That's why I applied to be your secretary. I wanted to learn a lot from you. I wanted to be with you as often as possible. I wanted to always accompany you." Suddenly, Giselle shifted forward. Her face showed more seriousness. "And looking at you now, is there any reason for me to stop liking you? You managed to become a successful CEO. Yet, you still maintain your impressive personality. Is it possible for me to let you be with someone else?" Taking a deep breath, Giselle shook her head. "A man as good as you shouldn't waste your life on a woman like Alice. You should be with a great woman too, like me." "But I don't need a woman like you. I only need Alice. Never will I accept another woman," Edmund said no less loudly. Giselle started laughing. The sound was full of annoyance and disapp
Mr. President's Lost Wife 149. Sky's Sadness
"Edmund, where are you going?" Elizabeth asked. "Chasing my dream." Elizabeth hit his arm with all her might. "Where is your common sense? Your dream has been here all along. She just left. Hurry and chase her before it's too late!" Edmund looked at his mother with cold eyes. "My dream is to live happily with Alice and our daughter. If my company becomes an obstacle, I'm willing to let it go. I'm willing to do anything as long as my family stays together." Again, Elizabeth hit Edmund's arm. "Don't play around! You're an adult, Edmund. This is not the time for trial and error. Your success must be maintained. Do you think anyone can build a company that big?" "I'm not playing around. My decision is final. I want to go on an adventure with the people I love. That's happier. And now I realize. That's the life I want. To be free without any burdens." "Then what about the company? Your career? Your reputation? How ca
Mr. President's Lost Wife 150. Enjoy the Journey
"You don't need to do anything, Mama. Maybe I'm being like this because of jetlag. I'll be excited again later." In fact, there was no time difference between both countries. Alice's fake smile finally peeled off. She could no longer avoid it. They really needed to discussed. "You don't need to lie, Honey. I am your mother. I know very well how you feel. Do you miss Papa?" Sky flinched. The light reflected in her eyes turned clear. "You know I miss Papa?" "Yeah, you've been daydreaming and occasionally checking Rocky Talkie." "You also know I bring Rocky Talkie?" Sky's voice grew higher as if to match the length of her neck. Alice smiled wryly. "You can't hide anything from me, Honey." Sky's face was covered with guilt. "Sorry, Mama. I didn't mean to make you sad. Are you angry because I bring Rocky Talkie and miss Papa?" "No. Why should I be angry?" "I should be comforting Ma
Mr. President's Lost Wife 151. First Place
Alice nodded with a faint smile. "Yes, our first mission is here." "Why did you take me to the hospital, Mama?" Sky asked in a cute high voice. Alice laughed when she heard that. "That's a mission you have to complete, Honey. Can you guess why I brought you here?" Sky furrowed her eyebrows. Her lips pursed. "Do you want to visit someone who is being treated here?" Alice shook her head. "Try again." "Do you want to donate blood?" Alice repeated her head movements. "Buying medicine? But that can be done at the pharmacy, no need to go to the hospital." Suddenly, Sky gasped. "Are you sick, Mama? Do you have to see a doctor?" Her eyes widened. Alice pinched her chubby cheek. "No, Honey. Think about it carefully. Remember what this place has to do with you." "With me?" Sky's voice rose in pitch. "How could this place have anything to do with me? I don't remember ever bei
Mr. President's Lost Wife 152. Contemplation
"Oh, Alice. I didn't know you're going through all that. It must have been really hard. You're strong for getting through it." Alice nodded with a bitter smile. "Thank you, Nurse Rea." After a short hug, Rea glanced to the other side. "You're strong too, Sky. You can survive until this moment. You're very cool." Sky chuckled lightly. "Thank you, Ma'am." "You're welcome, Sweetheart." After kissing the little girl's head, Rea patted the back of Alice's hand. "So now, how are you feeling? Are you getting better?" Alice's smile suddenly faded. After a moment of contemplation, she looked down. "I don't know. I'm not sure. I feel like I'm very mean to Sky, to Edmund, to Lucas. They all suffer because of me." Hearing the confession, Sky became gloomy. She moved next to Alice, shaking her arm slightly. "Mama, why are you talking like that? You're not bad. I don't have a problem with my past and p
Mr. President's Lost Wife 153. Meet Zoey
Alice smiled. Her brain worked quickly to find the right task for Sky. "There's someone here that I want to meet. I hope that you can confirm whether she's inside or not. If you manage to find her, call me. Only after that, I will come in." Sky blinked digesting the mission. "Why don't you just come in straight away, Mama? Why ask me to check first?" "Because I want to train you to be independent and socialable. An adventurer must have that ability. Can you do it?" Sky snorted a little. "That's easy. What kind of person should I look for?" "She's a blonde woman with a big smile. She used to be skinny, but I don't know what she's like now. Her name is Zoey." Sky nodded cutely. "Okay. I just need to find the one with blonde hair. Then, I have to say hello and get to know her. That's easy, Mama." "Well then, do it immediately. I want to complete the mission before the museum opens." "Okay, M
