Chapter 49
Alice gently supported her forehead with a hand and promptly explained, “Josh is a very good friend of
mine from showbiz. Today, I was at his place to help him beat a game.”
“If he wanted to play the game, he could have found a pro gamer to do it with him. Why did it have to
be you? Alice, when we decided to marry, you said you’d stay self-disciplined.
“But did you manage this time? If you can’t control yourself, we can divorce. I don’t want to be cuc
kolded, and I especially don’t want the kids to wait for you all forlorn…” Daniel’s expression was very Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
serious.
Even knowing that he had misunderstood and it was normal for him to be angry, Alice still felt that his
tone was unpleasant and pri ckled her pride.
She gritted her teeth and said, “I admit that it was wrong of me not to pick up Rachel’s call and answer
the children’s messages… but that doesn’t mean I’m unfaithful to the marriage!”
After that incident five years ago, Alice never had intimate relations with anyone again.
Even with the few men she had dated along the way, that was just because of certain things….
She was confident in her moral integrity!
“No need to explain! Whether you did it or not, only you know!” A dark glow flickered through Daniel’s
deep eyes.
Seeing him like this made Alice very mad.
Without thinking, she immediately asked, “Daniel Kaur, what’s the meaning of all this anger in you?
You’re in love with me, and so you’re jealous?”
“I don’t need love!” Daniel replied with a gloomy expression. “And I’m even less likely to get jealous
over a lame woman like you!”
“A lame woman like me?” Alice got infuriated too. She picked up the bowl that had held the noodles
and got up straight away. “Alright then, this lame woman shall get out of your view and stop upsetting
you!”
With that, she paid no more attention to the man before her and, after washing the dinnerware in the
kitchen, turned around, returned to her room, and engaged several locks in its door.
Deep in the night, as Alice lay in bed, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
“Ha, right, I’m a lame woman!” she complained inwardly.
She was vexatious, neurotic, and masochistic, and that was why she rushed into a marriage with a
man like that!
She sort of regretted it now. If City Hall weren’t closed at the moment, she really wished she could drag
Daniel there and get their divorce papers done!
Unable to suppress her anger, Alice picked up her iPad and started doing illustrations.
And at 1 a.m., she posted her work on Instagram.
“Wise People Don’t Fall In Love.”
The first to respond to it was William.
“Ooh, what happened? Are you lovelorn?”
Feeling embarrassed, Alice picked up her phone and prepared to delete that post, but then she
realized that it would tell others that something was wrong?
And so she sent William a private message. “People like Theo Harris are common friends of ours. You
be careful what you say, lest he misunderstands!”
Only then did William recall that he and Alice had many friends in common on Instagram. So he
immediately sat up, checked through his Instagram network to ensure it was safe, and then gave an
order within the company’s chat group asking everyone not to reveal that he was CEO.
And then he carried on being gossipy.
“Alice, this post you made, who’s upset you? It’s not my brother, right?”
The corner of Alice’s lips quivered. This guy really lived up to his job in the publicity department, being
so sharp.
She quickly typed on the screen, [Nope, we’re quite fine.]
William did not believe that, but considering Alice’s personality, he would never say that to her.

He might as well ask his dear big brother about it tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Daniel was not asleep either.
Smoking in his room, as he squeezed his cigarette, he thought of the gorgeous sight of Alice smoking.
He was a man, and most men were visual creatures. He could not keep his composure in front of such
a beautiful woman.
It was just that when he recalled Alice’s admission that it was Josh who taught her to smoke, he felt an
inexplicable sense of frustration.
But he felt that this was neither fondness nor jealousy.
How could he, Daniel Kaur, fall in love with a woman so easily?
