Her Second Marriage, Being Mr. Moore's New Wife novel Chapter 592

Manfred pursed thin lips, quietly looking at her, as if thinking of something.

After a while, he said softly, “It's not that I am forgetful, but that I have never cheated you. What are you talking about?”

Alice reminded him.

“Wasn't you behind that party?” If not because of that party, how could she and Kennedy had misunderstanding?

Although she knew that if they trusted each other, it would not be a problem.

However, how could Alice not to suspect Manfred?

After all, Reynold still wanted her to spy on Kennedy, and Manfred was there, so she couldn't believe he was so innocent.

Manfred froze.

Like he could not believe it, he was stunned at first and then he was sad.

Finally, he lowered his eyes and began to laugh in a low, self-deprecating grin.

“So that's what you thought.”

“I always thought so.” Alice looked at him and said, “So, can we cancel our cooperation now? Whatever your purpose is, five years ago or now, I don't want to be your victim again.”

Manfred slowly raised his head, suddenly grabbed her hand on the table. As Alice felt his palm, she was stunned and then drew back her hand subconsciously.

But Manfred clenched her hand more tightly, staring at her without anger.

He was no longer gentle but became melancholy.

“You said I was behind the party, do you think I cause that car accident too?”

Alice was stunned when hearing that and she froze in place.

Thinking of that car accident in those days, Alice's face went pale. Her lips moved. Looking at Manfred, she was speechless.

Of course she did not think he was responsible for that accident.

The car accident was an accident, but what happened before?

All of a sudden, Alice felt she went too far, after all, he was desperate to save her. If not him, she would be badly hurt.

Thinking of that, Alice lowered her eyes.

“Sorry, I...”

“All right.” Manfred interrupted her and smiled. “You know, no matter what you do or say, I won't blame you.”

Alice raised her head and looked at him painfully.

Because he was like this, Alice did not want to recognize him.

Because whatever she said to him, he thought it didn't matter and he would forgive her.

Alice suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice, “Don't always be like this. Why aren’t you angry about my words? Do you think I will feel guilty because you're not angry? I am sorry you're really going to be disappointed. I gotta go”

With that, Alice turned and walked away.

Manfred, his face slightly changed, got up and ran after her.

“Charlotte......”

“Don't call me Charlotte!”

“Alice, I'm not who you think I am. No matter what you think, I did make a mistake, and what I want to do now is to make up for what I did to you.”

“No, it's been five years and it's been what it's been. As long as we do not meet again, I will not blame you.”

Alice fixed her eyes on him. If he had no intention, how could he know so clearly?

“If that's what you're worried about, then I can assure you that I'll do nothing against you over my dead body.”

Seeing her disbelief, Manfred said, “I swear, if I...”

“All right.” Alice interrupted him, closed her eyes, and said weakly, “you don't have to swear to me. I know you will keep your words.”

The gloomy eyes of Manfred became bright, “Well, then will you meet me again?”

Reluctant, helpless, Alice sighed.

“What can I do if you talk like that?”

Manfred’s face finally had a smile, gentle as before.

“That’s a deal. We are partners and friends.”

What else could she say? She just nodded.

“Then go back and finish the coffee? There are some things about work I'd like to ask you.”

“Ok.”

Alice went back to the seats with Manfred. Two people sat down and had discussion about work. After that, Manfred asked her situation when she was abroad.

She answered a few questions of his, and when the time was up, she was ready to say goodbye to Manfred.

If it was a little later, Kennedy would wake up.

At this time, she would go to the supermarket to buy some things, and then go home to cook. When Kenney was up, he could have lunch.
