Alice's heart tightened. After so many failures, she no longer fantasized that Miles would show any mercy to her.
This time, it probably wouldn't be a good thing.
But she had to take the child...
Gritting her teeth, Alice took a few steps forward and followed the servant into the villa.
In the living room, Caroline was still holding her son in her arms. Seeing Alice enter, she immediately pretended to be a hostess and called for Alice to sit down casually. She then turned around to see her servant cooking a bowl of ginger soup for Alice...
Alice stared at the child and turned to Miles, who was silent and gloomy, and said, "Give me the child!"
Miles coldly glanced at her and threw a document on the coffee table in front of Alice.
"Sign it and I'll let you go."
Alice lowered her eyes and was immediately stabbed in the eye by the words "divorce agreement" on the title page.
The fingers hanging by her side involuntarily tightened.
She pursed her lips and looked into Miles's eyes.
"Return the child to me, and I'll sign it."
Her conditions were always very simple.
Miles frowned and replied cleanly, "Impossible! Alice, I'll give you one last chance. Sign and go away! Otherwise, you'll just have to wait to go to prison!"
"Miles" Caroline said gently at this time, "Don't do this... I believe Alice didn't intentionally injure me that day. After all, the child is Alice's, so it's understandable that she can't bear to part with it. Why don't we change the conditions?"
Miles's nonnegotiable expression immediately softened in front of Caroline's words.
He stared fiercely at Alice and pursed his lips in silence.
Caroline said softly, "How about this, Alice, you divorce Miles and stay at our house as a servant. I can let you take care of your child and grow up with him, but you can't recognize him. If you agree, I can let you live here now."
Let her be Caroline's servant?
This woman was so vicious and sinister. If she became a servant, she didn't know how she would be bullied by Caroline!
Alice's fists tightened, wanting to curse Caroline and refuse!
Outside the door, there was no response.
Even though Alice had almost cracked the door and shouted until her throat was hoarse, no one came to open the door.
She stopped in vain and sized up the small bathroom. Finally, she stopped at the ventilation window of the bathroom.
The window was small, but fortunately, she was slim enough to crawl out of it.
The bathroom was on the first floor, and the windows weren't high from the ground. She jumped down easily.
At the same time, the bones in her body trembled, and a sharp pain came from the wound on her abdomen.
She bent down and covered her stomach.
After relieving the pain, Alice looked at the back wall of the villa and an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
Perhaps to steal the child tonight was her chance.
Caroline, she definitely doesn't know that she has escaped from the bathroom yet!
