The False Miss

Chapter 23| I envy

The sun shines a little trick today, it is still seven in the morning but it can already look very bright and warm. Alice, who had been awake since the early hours of the morning, was on the balcony of her room, leaning with her legs straightened forward.

The corner of his lips lifted slightly, a smile imprinted there. His eyes were still closed, he wanted to enjoy the warmth of the sunlight that hit his entire body.

One of his hands was on his stomach and the other was on his forehead.

Swipe after swab over the stomach a bit distended it makes it more and more comfortable. "I have to do what that woman is". Alice was still with her smile, not knowing what she was thinking right now.

Until a few minutes he was still in that position, until he heard the clattering of steps approaching him, he sharpened his ears to find out whose footsteps it was.

"Sit's not". Tampa opened the eyes wherever Alice would know.

Edgar frowned, seeing Alice close her eyes but knowing that it was him, not waiting for Edgar's next command to sit on the bench next to him. And in the middle of the bench was a round table, Alice placed her phone there.

"Did he just call Calv". His inner.

"Al-" Edgar did not know what to say now, everything felt heavy, but it was unlikely that he would burden others as well.

"Yes, brother Ed?" Alice opened her eyes, looking briefly at the man she once loved. Then closed his eyes again. "Tell me, why did you suddenly become quiet?". He said with a small laugh even though he actually felt awkward.

"I'll be back in the afternoon, I-I"

"Just tell me, what will you tell me?:

Sighing and exhaling slowly "I'm sorry for ever harboring a taste for you, I began to realize that until when I wished that if I wasn't meant to be together it would be a waste".

Alice listened carefully, opened her eyes and looked back at the face in front of her, the man who had kept her heart locked for so long that he would not let anyone in.

"Until when you're going to apologize, there's nothing wrong between us. Destiny is not on side". Alice answered with a twitch.

Edgar knew the meaning of the laughter, he only returned it with a smile. Whom it is also passed. True said Alice all that has passed as hard as we struggle to get back there will never be possible.

"Don't close your heart too much". Edgar knitted his brows, not understanding Alice's direction

"Bella's a good girl, sister won't get another woman as good as her". Alice replied, as if she knew what Edgar was thinking.

"You're right, he's really nice". Edgar replied as if, Arabella is good and beautiful. Not as pretty as Alice.

The time was spinning, the light that had been warm was already hot, they were just chatting normally but forgot about time.

Feeling tired leaning Alice straightened her body and looked at Edgar who had only been arranging Alice who had not looked at him anymore.

"Let's get some breakfast, 'cause this is our last breakfast". After saying that Edgar passed leaving Alice who was still sitting looking at the sturdy back it disappeared.

Sighing Alice's long breath back straight ahead "It's past brother, you should also be able to let go of your feelings". He mumbled softly, he stood up and walked into the room, he will be ready soon as well.

The dining room had Edgar, Bella, Mr. Thomas and Samuel, and Samuel had come a few minutes ago because Alice had called him, despite the fact that Samuel was older than her, still, she will remain under Alice because her cousin is the leader.

"Waw, Edgar I didn't think that you had a lover as pretty as him". Samuel did not blink looking at the beautiful woman in front of him making Bella uncomfortable.

Samuel snorted, just staring just can't. She wanted to ask what the name of this woman was, but she was not sure that she would be told by the stiff man next to Bella

"His name is Arabella, you can call her Bella". As if I knew what Samuel was thinking.

"Wow, wow are you a psychic, Ed?".

"Be quiet, anyone will be able to guess correctly if you look at your expression". Samuel clucked in annoyance, what's wrong with him, is he that stupid?

"Sister Sam, have you been waiting?" Bella appears with a pretty neat outfit, the deep blue color is indeed very suitable for her character. Edgar did not stop looking at him until the three people at the dinner table were busy with their own thoughts.

Alice stepped very gracefully, the polish on her face was thin, her thin lips were nude with red camour. Do not forget his stomach that has begun to look if heeded.

"Ekhem". Samuel cleared his throat because Edgar had not yet turned his gaze toward Alice who was sitting next to him.

"Until when are you gonna look at my cousin, Ed? You don't think about your lover's feelings?" Samuel was getting upset, because Edgar was going to eat Alice. It's a pity that if love can't be together, it will be like this Edgar.

Arabella had been silent since, forcing a smile because honestly her heart was not okay to see how Edgar blinked looking at Alice.

Her hand squeezed the dress she was wearing to reduce her resentment. He was upset with her, not Edgar, not Alice.

"Alice you're lucky, you get everything you look for, unlike me who has to do a lot to get my little dream". Inner Arabella looked at Alice who was smiling at her and she was also trying to reciprocate.

"You just smile, make me the one women like, and then what about them guys? I envy you". The next is still.

"Bella, hey Arabella?" having Alice flick her hand from a distance, she could see how disappointed Bella's eyes were but the woman had deliberately covered up.

"Eh, Oh forgive me for daydreaming"..Answer's clumsy. Mr. Thomas in their midst also realized something was wrong here.

For a long time he knew that his son liked Alice, even he also heard that Alice also had the same feeling at that time.

If Alice could forget her son by getting married, she was sure Edgar could too. Isn't that a good solution for them.

Mr. Thomas looked at Arabella who was no less beautiful than Alice he could also feel that this girl was good, yes it was time for Edgar to have his own family. He'll talk about this later.

After finishing breakfast Alice and Samuel led to his father's work space which has become his work space now.

"So you're coming back today?" Samuel asked his cousin's sister who was immediately embraced by Alice

"Son can't take care of it, can you?".

"Of course, even though I don't like this job". Alice chuckled, "still complaining". Inwardly

"You want me to take you? Aren't you pregnant? Isn't that dangerous?" Read Samuel

"No need, you have to work, remember!, again I'm very healthy, I can rest anywhere if I'm tired".
