Chapter 40: The Matter must be Settled
“The matter must be settled. It has bad effects that he comes to the hospital all the time.”
Hearing this, Julie Swift nods and says in approval, “Ok, you go and return early. Don't freely go anywhere else with him...”
Alice Roberts listens to her advice, laughing and crying, and has to keep nodding, “Ok, I understand.”
Alice Roberts is going out of the hospital to find that Randall Collins have been waiting in the car. Seeing her come over, Randall Collins gets out and opens the passenger door for her like a gentleman.
"I'll just sit in the back." Alice Roberts doesn’t want to get too close to him.
"Don't worry. I won't eat you." Randall Collins is joking and makes a gesture of invitation. So she has no choice but to get into the copilot's seat.
After fastening the seat belt, Randall Collins starts the car and asks her, "Western food or French food?"
"Just a regular one. I have to work this afternoon." Alice Roberts replies.
I have heard that a new French restaurant is not bad, so let's go there." Randall Collins takes a turn and drives to the right.
Alice Roberts opens her mouth and wants to say no, seeing that Alice Roberts have passed, so she says nothing more. She begins to think how she stops him from coming to her.
All the way, Alice Roberts does not say something, but Randall Collins is really good at coaxing girls, talking and laughing. Although Alice Roberts pretends to be taciturn and aloof, she is amused by his
words.
The atmosphere inside the car is not bad. Then they arrive at the French restaurant.
“Please, Dr. Roberts.”
“Thank you.”
With a smile, Alice Roberts calmly walks out and enters the elegant, atmospheric restaurant with Randall Collins.
Although it's still early, the restaurant is doing good business. Many couples sit there. With the romantic decoration style, it looks very warm.
Finding that there are all couples, Alice Roberts is so embarrassed that she would have chosen just any ordinary restaurant.
They choose a window seat and sit opposite each other.
When the waiter brings the menu, Randall Collins gives it to Alice Roberts first and says in a attractive voice, "Please order."
"I'm never good at ordering. So, it’s just ok to order what you like." Alice Roberts replies politely.
So, Randall Collins also does not force Alice Roberts. But he asks for her likes and dislikes every time he orders, showing his respects to her. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
In that sense Alice Roberts has to admit that the man is handsome, gentle and, above all, careful and romantic. Few women would want to refuse, would they?
Compared with Randall Collins, Alice Roberts thinks of Edward Smith who is arrogant and always in a grim appearance. But there has been such a romantic sitting together at lunch time between them...
“Dr. Roberts, Dr. Roberts?”
"Oh?" Alice Roberts comes from her reverie and finds Randall Collins looking at her. She says apologetically, "I'm sorry, I am just thinking about something."
Randall Collins’ black eyes slightly flash, secretly thinking that never has a woman been absent-minded when dating with him. But the woman in front of him has more than once ignored his existence.
With inner displeasure, Randall Collins still shows a light smile, says magnanimously: "It's ok. I just order a bottle of wine."
Alice Roberts’ hands wind under the table. Then she takes a deep breath and looks into Randall Collins’ eyes, saying earnestly, “Mr. Collins, I am really married and have children. I haven’t deceived you.”
Randall Collins pauses for a moment as he pours the wine, but his handsome face still keeps a smile, and his thin lips gently says, "Really? But according to my research, your entry form shows you’re single.”
Alice Roberts freezes for a moment. No wonder he does not give up, he even finds this out.
The trick was discovered and she had to point it out.
“Mr. Collins, your behavior has caused me a lot of trouble. I just want to take care of my children and have nothing to do with anyone.”
Randall Collins places the half-filled wine glass in front of Alice Roberts. His long fair fingers contrast with the bright red wine, which makes him sexy.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Alice Roberts feels helpless. She is not a woman who knows how to be cruel to others, otherwise, she will not be cornered by Joanna Hale and Janet Louis five years ago.
Although she becomes indifferent and mature within the five years, the characters in her bones have not changed.
But now, she must make it clear to the man in front of her that she doesn't want to be with any man.
"I'm sorry. Even if I’m going to have a try, I’ll have a try with someone who I have feelings for, right? I admit that Mr. Collins is excellent, but I'm sorry that I don't have so-called feelings for you, and your presence makes me feel troubled. I'm sorry!"
Alice Roberts apologizes again. Then she stands up, grabs her bag and turns to leave the restaurant to avoid embarrassment.
As Alice Roberts walks away, she did not notice that the face of the man behind her is sullen and fierce, and there is a chilling gleam in his eyes because of what she says.
Fine! Originally it is due to Edward Smith, but now this woman greatly stirs up his desire to conquer.
Instead of returning to the hospital immediately after leaving the restaurant, Alice Roberts wanders out into the street.
It is near lunch time, and there are many people walking along the road. They are all working people, each with a quick and clear pace, as if they all know what they want and where they go.
But what about her?
Edward Smith flashes across her mind. She quickly tries to push him out of her head. Why is she thinking about him all the time today?!
It is just as well that he doesn’t come, which reduces her troubles and spares Joanna from following her.
But why does she feel vaguely uncomfortable when knowing that he just gives up? For him, am I really nothing more than a frivolous plaything?
So, he would say irresponsibly that she would be his mistress.
"Bastard, don't let me see you again!"
She doesn’t know if the words she spoke in the restaurant make sense. Anyhow, after she put down that sentence in the restaurant, Randall Collins doesn’t come to see her again, and the sending of flowers for a period of time finally stops.
Alice Roberts is relieved, but she doesn’t see the dejected looks of the women in the outpatient department. Meanwhile, people gossiping around secretly are wondering if she breaks up with the handsome man.
"It must be. I tell you, how could a female andrology doctor really be liked?"
"If I were a man and knew that she is engaged in it, I would be uncomfortable."
“Yes ...”
Several nurses gather around and say all sorts of gossip, and occasionally a few words of jealousy come out, which obviously indicates that they envy her being pursued by the rich second generation.
"What are you talking about? Dr. Roberts doesn’t like him rather than being dumped by him!”
A voice like thunder sounds, and scares a few female nurses who are gossiping. They all stare at her as they see that she is Julie Swift.
