Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 34

Joanna Hale frowns and a darkness twinkles in her eyes. Is Alice Roberts trying to threaten her with the pregnancy? Did she know that?

"As you think, I am a doctor."

Alice Roberts smiles and continues, "As an andrologist, I'm here because Mr. Smith has sexual dysfunction."

Joanna Hale freezes, looking at Alice Roberts, then looks at Edward Smith. He – he has sexual problems?

No wonder he didn't have any response to her all these years, no matter how seductive she was.

That's why! Not because she's unattractive, but because there's something wrong with him?

Joanna Hale feels vaguely aware of the truth; she puts her hand on her belly unconsciously, watching at Edward Smith's face.

Fortunately, Edward Smith pays all the attention on Alice Roberts.

Joanna Hale sighs with relief but feels jealous of Alice Roberts. This woman has disappeared for five years and how dare she show up again and come to Edward Smith's office.

No one would believe that she is innocent.

"Miss Hale, do you understand now? If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

Alice Roberts smiles as if thinking of something, she turns to Edward Smith and says very politely, "Mr. Smith, from a doctor's point of view, I would advise you to give up smoking and drinking for a while, and...restrain sex."

Edward Smith curls his lips with anger in his eyes. Well, the woman has managed to provoke him.

Alice Roberts leaves the office smartly. She breathes a sigh of relief as she gets into the elevator and she starts worrying about something as she thinks of the way Joanna Hale looked at her in the office.

She’d better keep away from Edward Smith until the day Joanna Hale marries him. If she offends Joanna Hale and Janet Louis, her mother would be in danger.

After all, both of them would use all means to get what they want.

...

Back to the hospital, Julie Swift trots over when she sees Alice Roberts. She looks at her nervously and asks, "Where have you been? I looked for you everywhere short of the dean's office."

"I went out." Alice Roberts responds apologetically.

"Went out? Didn't you go to fix the problem?" Julie Swift is confused. Shouldn't she go to the dean or minister to solve the problem?

Alice Roberts has no idea about how to explain to Julie Swift her six-year entanglement with Edward Smith. So she can only tell her in the simplest way,

"The reason why they moved my name out is that a client wants me to be his private doctor for a year."

"My God, who would do such a thing?" Julie Swift is more confused. Alice Roberts is an andrologist. Which man would take a year to treat andrological?

Julie Swift, in a flash of inspiration, smiles secretly. She leans closer to Alice Roberts and whispers, "Is there a sexual problem with the dean?"

"…" Alice Roberts twitches her lips and says responsibly, "Not the dean."

"Who's that?" Julie Swift is curious about that.

"A President of a big company."

Alice Roberts does not want to talk more about this topic, so she changes this topic by asking, "Did anyone looks for me while I was away?"

Julie Swift pats her forehead, "I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Dr. Blake came to find you twice."
