Her Second Marriage, Being Mr. Moore's New Wife novel Chapter 607

Yeah…

Alice just wanted to avoid him and did not walk the same way with him.

If Kennedy saw it, she would have a hard time.

Manfred's smile on his lips was bitter. “Didn't that day make it clear? We'll be friends in the future. Even if we run into each other accidentally in the supermarket, you don't have to avoid me, do you? Am I that scary?”

Alice, “...”

She bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say.

“I was going to make a detour; but since you put it that way, I feel I must come with you, to adjust your mind to avoiding me like the plague.”

At the end, the smile came back to Manfred’s face, and his eyes settled firmly on her face through his glasses.

“Alice, I'm not a bad man. Not five years ago, not now, and not in the future. I can still be your brother if you want, whatever your relationship with Kennedy is now, but... I will never do anything wrong to you.”

However, for Alice, no matter Manfred would so something wrong to her or not, as long as Kennedy saw her standing with Manfred, it would be bad.

She pursed her lips at the thought and said, “Do you have to follow me? You said it is chance encounter. What about the previous two? Also chance encounter? How can everything be so coincidentally? I didn't come to the supermarket for so long, I just came and met you, aren’t you intentional?”

The look in Manfred’s eyes faded.

“Alice, if you come to the supermarket every day, you would see me every day. Because, I live right around here, in the neighborhood next to you.”

Alice was stunned and speechless.

“What, what did you say?”

“It's hard to believe, isn’t it? If you don't believe me, you can have someone look it up. I moved here before you. Cashier at the supermarket, I mean, a lot of people know me. But since I live alone, I have to come to the supermarket every day to buy fresh food. Do you still think I approach you on purpose?”

Alice was embarrassed and her face turned pale.

So she thought too much and misunderstood him?

“I admit I want to contact you, but there was absolutely no intent.”

“Stop it.” Alice interrupted him and lowered her eyes, “I misunderstood you, so then we go our separate ways. You still want to buy things, I also want to buy some, I go first.”

Then Alice turned around and went to the woman. The woman looked at her, “solved?”

Alice pursed her lips without answering, but pushed her shopping cart forward.

The woman saw this and quickly followed up, “What's going on? You don’t look good, did he say some bad words?”

“No.” Alice shook her head. “He just said... He didn't follow us. It happened to be the same road.”

Hearing that, the woman suddenly understood.

“I see. But I think he's... following you on purpose. Does he know you have a husband?”

Alice paused, then turned to look at the woman.

“Do you really want to know?”

The woman nodded curiously and then smiled. “For the sake of that we are neighbors, tell me.”

Alice thought it was ok to say that, so she said, “In fact, he is not my husband.”

“Maybe? Why do you have no confidence? If I were as pretty as you, I'd be confident. Well, he's your ex-husband now, so that means there's room for other people, like... The one in the back.”

The back?

Alice frowned, looked back, found Manfred was with them on the same way.

“Two handsome men are pursuing you at the same time. Which one do you prefer?”

Alice, “...”

“It doesn't matter if you don't like them. You're so beautiful and there are plenty of opportunities. Take your time and test them. I think the cold one is good. I could tell from the way he looks that he is an achiever, but... It's not a good thing for a man to be too cold. For example, in bed, if he's still the same cold guy who always lets you make the first move, you're not going to be happy in bed.”

Alice’s facial expression changed and said in a small voice, “Can you not mention that?”

“What's wrong with that? We are grown-ups... I suddenly am curious about the reason for your divorce, is he sexual apathy?”

Alice, “...”

How was that possible? When he was a cripple in a wheelchair, everyone thought he was incompetent, but she, the surrogate wife, knew he was actually capable.

Now he was up, and people still thought he was sexual apathy?

Only his face and eyes we cold. He was passionate and aggressive that she could not withstand, how could he be sexual apathy?

The reason for their divorce?

Thinking of that, Alice was upset. They never had a marriage, she married him replacing her sister.
