Chapter 1672: The Fact That I Am Divorced

When Alice Turner said the words “boring idle person,” she deliberately emphasized her tone. She wanted Benjamin Shaw to pay special attention to these words.

Seeing the woman sitting across from him get angry because of his words, Benjamin Shaw put away the sour irritation in his heart. When he spoke again, his words sounded much better, “Don’t mind it, I was just casually asking. You can just casually listen to it.”

“We’re indeed not idle people. I came to see you today because I want to have a proper chat about things between us.” He said a lot at once, and luckily she didn’t interrupt him.

“Didn’t we already talk clearly about our issues that day? You…”

“Don’t be so tense. I’m not trying to use the injury to threaten you into anything with me. I’m not that despicable.”

Alice Turner had only said half of what she intended when Benjamin Shaw interrupted her abruptly. What he said was indeed what she worried about. Him calling himself despicable seemed too severe to her.

Being guessed correctly about her thoughts, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Alice Turner’s eyes, but she quickly returned to normal, “Since you’re not, what do you mean then?”

He guessed her thoughts correctly, but she couldn’t quite guess his thoughts at that moment.

“Could you tell me honestly? When did you fall in love with Thomas Fisher?” Benjamin Shaw asked this easily, but his heart was immensely heavy. He looked at her, waiting for her to give him an answer.

He didn’t even know what was happening to him, being so obsessed with this question.

Alice Turner’s eyes flickered; was this man coming to her today to dig up old scores?

“When my sister got married.” She thought for a moment and gave him an answer.

“You fell in love with him that early? You’d only known each other for a short time back then, right?”

Benjamin Shaw was a bit surprised, not expecting that Alice Turner had fallen in love with Thomas Fisher during Lily Turner and Easton Holmes’s wedding. He hadn’t noticed at all.

If he hadn’t been so distant from her then, would he have discovered earlier? Maybe he could have realized he loved her much sooner too.

And things wouldn’t be like this now; he and she would still be husband and wife, a real couple, not a pretend couple deceiving their families.

Alice Turner raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, “You don’t need to know someone for a long time to fall in love.”

“Since you’re already head over heels in love with him, why did you leave five years ago?” Benjamin Shaw seemed determined to break the pot today, questioning relentlessly, one question after another, each piercing.

Alice Turner looked at the man opposite her once and slowly provided an answer, “I felt I didn’t deserve him.”

“Because you’ve been divorced?”

Benjamin Shaw blurted out, and as soon as he spoke, he regretted it, regretting saying something that might touch on her sore spot.

Alice Turner, having been divorced, never truly cared in her heart about it. She always worried about others pointing fingers at Thomas Fisher because of it, casting negative impacts on his family.

“It’s a fact that I’ve been divorced; no one can change that.” Since it’s a fact no one can change, she can only face and accept it frankly. She understood and realized this five years ago.

Alice Turner’s frank attitude shocked Benjamin Shaw a lot. He initially thought she’d be quite tangled up about the divorce, but she accepted it so openly. It seemed that he had overthought.
