Chapter 56
Chapter 56
Daniel passed the documents that he had been holding in his hands over to William.
After seeing their contents, William was overcome with a dreadful sense of mortification.
Because the documents had scandalous info on Alice and Freddie.
They even had images that showed dubious figures of them entering and exiting a hotel at the same
time and encountering each other…
From a passerby’s perspective, they were acting like a couple!
He knew that Alice had come here with Freddie and others for dinner, and so he dragged his elder
brother and the kids along to come and pick her up. The idea was to ameliorate the relationship
between his elder brother and his sister-in-law.
How was he to know that it would turn out like this…
Seeing Daniel’s thickly frosty expression, William felt horrible himself.
Watching as Daniel snapped the stem of the rose in his hand, William knew that his elder brother now
had the intention of going through a divorce with Alice.
“Daniel, how about… we wait for Freddie to come out and then ask him about it?”
Daniel’s reply was cold as steel. “No need.”
On that previous night, when Freddie had insisted that Alice Doyle was not the right woman for him, he
should have guessed.
Seeing Daniel like this, William scratched his head nervously. “At least we should discuss with Rachel
and the others first, right? Plus, the kids won’t be able to bear leaving her now. Actually, if Freddie and
Alice’s affair was in the past, you can…”
Daniel stopped him. “Enough!”
As Daddy and Uncle were having this back and forth, the three kids finally realized that something was
wrong.
“Daddy, Uncle William, why are we waiting here? Where’s mommy Alice?” Aidy spoke up first.
“She’s no longer your mommy,” Daniel replied coldly.
Aidy looked at his younger brothers and tilted his head, his face filled with confusion. “Why?”
Hadn’t she married Daddy? Why was she no longer their mommy now?
Worried that Daniel might respond fiercely and frighten the kids again, William sighed and explained to
them in a sympathetic tone, “Because mommy Alice is now together with Uncle Freddie…
“So from now on, she can’t be together with your daddy anymore.”
“Why can’t she be with our daddy if she’s with Uncle Freddie?” The kids still did not understand.
“Because they’re a pair now! They’ll kiss and hug and make merry… and then…”
Before William had finished explaining, the three kids’ faces suddenly changed as they felt their world
shatter around them…
“mommy Alice and Uncle Freddy will kiss, hug, and make merry!”
“She won’t kiss, hug, and make merry with Daddy anymore!”
“Then she’ll not want us anymore, and she’ll have babies with Uncle Freddie!”
The three kids were born smarter than average children, and just after hearing a few sentences of
explanation from William, they had already thought of how extremely horrible the situation could be.
Their tears rained like a flood that had broken through a dam.
William had thought he had been very subtle with his explanation and that the kids would not figure it
out so clearly. He had not expected them to react so dramatically and was at once unsure of what to
do.
“Okay, kids, please don’t cry now!”
The three sobbing children ignored William’s plea, pushed open the car door, then bounded off and ran
toward the
restaurant.
Upon seeing his sons’ reactions, Daniel swept his gaze at William like it was a sharp blade.
“My fault… I’ll go after them first!” William also jumped out of the car and went into a mad dash to
chase after the kids.

On Alice’s end, Josh met a foreign director he had worked with before and went to the director’s table
to chat with him.
Seeing that no one else was around, Freddie raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked Alice, “Miss
Doyle, are you single
How of marr
Alice glanced at Freddie, saw no sign of desire for her on his face, and then replied honestly, “I’m
married. My husband’s quite nice and has three sons too” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Her honest admission actually made Freddie regard her with newfound respect.
“Your husband’s not in showbiz, right?” Freddie continued probing.
Alice shook her head. “No, he’s just an ordinary office worker”
“Someone like you, Miss Doyle, choosing an ordinary office worker, don’t you feel you’ve gotten the
short end?” Freddie chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Alice frowned slightly, “What short end? I like him, and that’s enough!”
Freddie seemed to be testing her with words, What was he actually up to?
