Ex-wife, Please Come Back
Chapter 458 End Of Partnership

Thompson raised his eyes and studied Alice's face. There was no injury or bruises on her face. He guessed that Alice hadn't been beaten recently, but he was still uncertain. Maybe there were some wounds that covered by the clothes. "Are you okay?"

The first sentence that Thompson said showed that he was a nice and considerate man, but Alice didn't think that he cared about her. Now she had a bad impression of Thompson.

"I'm fine." After a pause, Alice felt a little depressed. She looked into Thompson's eyes with empty eyes, while Thompson looked at her nervously.

Thompson clenched his fists slightly as if he couldn't wait to say something.

"Are you really okay? Are you sure? Why did you ask me out? Is it about Jonathan?"

Thinking of the conversation he had with Jonathan that day, Thompson was a little worried. Although he was neither a relative nor a friend of Alice, he didn't want her to get hurt.

Alice fixed her eyes on Thompson, so she was right? Even his question is about Jonathan. Alice even wondered if Thompson had set a trap for her.

When she jumped into the trap desperately, she was still clapping her hands and thanking Thompson for his kindness. This was so horrible. Alice couldn't help but darkened her face, and she felt a little strange when she looked at Thompson's eyes. Thompson stretched out his hand and waved to Alice, "Hey, Alice, are you okay? What's wrong with you? I know a lot of things have happened to you recently, but I'm too busy to care about you."

As Thompson explained to Alice, the atmosphere between the two people became a bit ambiguous. The young man sitting next to Alice looked at Thompson fiercely as if he was a bad guy. Of course, Thompson didn't notice that young man.

Lowering her head, Alice felt sadder for herself as she heard Thompson's "care words". If Thompson didn't feel guilty, how would he care so much about her?

When she lost that child before, Thompson didn't care about her at all. Even if she was just an alliance, Thompson was still the baby's father.

At that time, Alice was too obsessed with taking revenge on Jacob, so she ignored a lot of details about this man. Now everything was clear and the truth became fierce.

Alice didn't say anything but looked at Thompson quietly. When their eyes met, Thompson was a little nervous.

It seemed that Alice was different now, and the way she looked at him was exactly the same as Sara did before. Thompson shivered, which made him feel unbelievable because i I was summer now. "Let's end our partnership, Thompson." Alice looked at Thompson and said slowly word by word.

The surprised look on Thompson's face showed up very abruptly. He had thought about many possibilities, but he did not expect that the reason why Alice asked him out today was to talk about this matter. And she talked about it in such a formal way. To be honest, Thompson wouldn't think it was a big deal if they end the partnership right now.

But when Alice put it forward so formally, it made him doubt Alice's motive for doing so. Everyone had a motive when they decided to do something, and Thompson couldn't understand Alice's decision. "I just want to know why?" The shock on Thompson's face was obvious to Alice.

"I'm tired." Lowering her head, Alice wanted to cry. She seemed to be listless sitting in the chair.

"Are you tired? Alice, no one has forced you to do anything, so you are going to give up now? Everyone has made choices on a whim, and you have done so much for your choices."

Thompson said in a flat tone. Now that Alice was determined to give up, Jonathan wouldn't spare her and let her go.

It was inevitable that Thompson would be worried about her safety in the future. What Jonathan had said was not joking. Maybe he would do something irreparable if he knew Alice wanted to give up.

"I know, but now I found that everything I have done is meaningless. If I take revenge on Jacob, so what? My life is still a disaster. Besides, it's not all his fault."

Alice looked at Thompson with empty eyes. Now she really had no spiritual energy at all. Of course, Thompson could notice Alice's changes.

When he first met Alice, she was an arrogant woman with her pride. At that time, Thompson's feelings for Alice were somewhat ambiguous. At that time, Alice was as arrogant as a swan.

But now the woman in front of him, whose hair was disheveled with a sad face and glassy eyes, was really the lovable Alice he had known??

Time was cruel to everyone, and Alice was not an exception. If a person was suffering, then he or she must not be very energetic.

"Alice, I'm not persuading you. Of course, I didn't mean that you have to deal with Jacob. I just hope you can think twice before you make a decision, and think about what you really want. If you want a divorce, let's not talk about whether Jonathan will agree or not first, what should you do in the future?" Thompson's words seemed to be right, but in fact, he was uncertain in his heart. The idea was Jonathan's suggestion in the beginning. Thompson thought it was a good idea, so he told it to Alice.

At that time, Alice had been in a dilemma and had been blinded by hatred. But now, it was too late for her to make a change.

The past is the past, and what had done could not be undone. Could they just pretend that nothing has happened if they divorced?

Besides, so many people had witnessed their wedding. Divorce would bring a lot of negative news to the Shi Group at the critical moment.

Now the Shi Group was on the verge of collapsing, it would definitely be a heavy blow if the news of their divorce was exposed.

"Thompson, we have been working together for so long. But now I realize that I am not as important as Jonathan in your eyes." Alice smiled bitterly, showing a different charm inexplicably. Hearing that, Thompson was stunned. In the past, even if Alice could see through his words, she would not say harsh words to retort him. And now, it sounded she was a little aggrieved.

"Alice, you know what's going on with the Shi Group right now. There's no need to get yourself into trouble at this time. You can think that I'm on the side of Jonathan, but do you think that for me, Jonathan is more important than you?"

Thompson calmly picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. To be honest, he didn't like drinking coffee in summer.

But somehow, Thompson felt thirsty because of what Alice said. In fact, it was meaningless and boring if the relationship between people was too clearly divided.

Therefore, some people chose to say some sweet words to coax the others, which led to more serious consequences.

Alice sighed heavily and looked at the young man next to her. Seeing that the young man no longer looked at her, Alice suddenly felt a little relieved.

No one would always be happy or unhappy. It was because that she couldn't accept the reality at the beginning that made her make more and more wrong steps.

"People who always say that he is doing for your good may not really mean it. And the one who always seems to hurt you may not really hurt you."

After saying that, Alice showed a playful smile, which represented that she had let go. However, there were still many twists and turns in the road ahead, and it was still unclear to her where she could reach in the end.

Thompson laughed. "It seems that what had happened recently has a great impact on you. So most of the time, an event can't be really defined as good or bad. Life is full of joy and sorrow, isn't it?"

Thompson continued to drink coffee, but Alice hadn't touched the coffee in front of her. This cup of coffee had been placed here for a while, but the pattern on it was still so clear. It had to be said that this cafe's barista was so good at making coffee.00000
