Chapter 296

Alice remained in the same spot in the corridor as she glanced at the leaving Neil. A hint of hatred
flashed in her eyes.

That kid was no fool. He knew she would do something to them if she was no longer their main
caretaker, so he forcefully turned Joshua’s decision around. The reasons he gave made it irrefutable!

At the thought that she still has to pretend to look after the two of them in the future, Alice was
inexplicably angry.

As she eyed Neil in a dazed state, Joshua furrowed his brows and flatly called her, “Alice.“

Alice jolted a little and immediately came to her senses. “Let’s go.“

Joshua took Alice to a cafe near the hospital.

It was the only time he had ever taken her there after their marriage.

Before marriage, he did not understand her enough. He only knew that she was a lady madly in love with
him. Because of how his family urged him to marry and coupled with pressure from work, there was a
time where he was depressed for most of the day.

She was like a little sun that came next to him, brightening up his life.

She drew for him, gave him little gifts, and sang unfamiliar tunes to him.

Later down the road, he treated her as a friend and started confiding in her.

When they talked about their views on marriage, she thought for a very long time. Then, she grabbed his
arm and looked at him with her huge watery eyes.



“You think that marriage is a burden to you, but I think that marriage is blissful. If I could marry you, I’d be
elated.“

Her naivety amused him. “If I say that I wouldn’t fall in love with you, will you still be willing to marry me?“

“Of course.“

Joshua could still clearly remember the way she blinked at him.

They sat down in the cafe. Looking at the woman in front of him, she was still as gorgeous and charming
as before. Her voice was still equally gentle.

However, her eyes were completely different from before.

“Joshua. “ Her gentle voice pulled him back to the present.

Joshua took a deep breath as he gazed at Alice. “I heard that you went to the office just now.“

Alice’s hand that held onto the coffee cup trembled a little.

She looked up with reddened eyes. “I went to look for Luna because—“

“Because you think she’s the mistress, coming in Joshua picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. “Just
now at the hospital, you said that when Luna stayed at Anne’s house, you saw me from afar downstairs.
If you have seen me, then you should know that I

didn’t look for Luna once for those few nights. I was only smoking downstairs. Yet, when you were at the
office, you tried to muddle the truth. You said that those few nights I was with Luna discussing design
sketches.“



Then, Joshua looked at her coldly. “I can understand your intuition as your woman, and I also admit that
a lot of it is my fault, but you can communicate with me.“

Alice’s fingernails dug into her palms. She looked up and continued pretending to be pitiful.

“I…don’t dare. I ‘m afraid that if I were to tell you, you’d be unhappy.“

“Do I look like I ‘m happy now with you being like that?“ Joshua sneered. “You and I have issues to work
out between us. This has nothing to do with Luna. She didn’t even know that I stopped by her place, yet
you casually create lies and rumors. You accuse and slander.“

Then, Joshua looked at her. “I don’t know whether you were always like that, or that you’ve changed in
these six years.“
