Chapter 316 Alice never dreamed shed see Madam Wilson again under these circumstances .
Shed expected a wealthy matron to wave a check in her face , warning her not to try to climb the social ladder .
This was completely unexpected .
to worry But Alice didnt sign , leaving the boxes on the table .
She said seriously , You dont need to about Jack and me … Child , I want you to be my daughter , not because of Jack .
Im his stepmother ; I cant control everything.
But I genuinely like you .
Madam Wilson saw the apprehension in Alices eyes ; her actions could easily be misinterpreted .
But she truly wanted to make amends and liked Alice .
Knowing Alices unhappy life , she wanted to offer her a nurturing family .
But Madam Wilson , didnt you prefer Miss Garcia as your daughter in law ? Madam Wilson hesitated , then explained awkwardly , I did , but it was just wishful thinking .
Jack never agreed .
Dont misunderstand him ; hes only ever liked one girl you .
Madam Wilson couldnt lie to Alice about that .
But that girl girl was Alice .
Madam Wilson couldnt imagine Alices reaction to the truth about the car accident , but the hurt would be far greater .
Alice felt conflicted after hearing Madam Wilsons explanation .
Were Julias words all lies ? The door opened , and Jack strode in , a stern expression on his face , accompanied by TGs PR team .
Alice was stunned .
Since their breakup at the gym , theyd had no contact.
He was in a suit , his hair perfectly styled , the epitome of a successful businessman .
Jack saw Alice in the salon robe , with a seaweed mud mask on her face .
She didnt look like she was being pressured by his mother .
The atmosphere was tense .
Alice glanced at Jack and looked away .
Madam Wilson stood up .
How did you get here ? And with all these people ? Are you here to fight ? Jacks lips were thin .
Hed rushed over after receiving a message from Li Man .
He went to Alices side .
Mom , I told you not to interfere with Alices life .
I wasnt interfering ! I invited her for a spa treatment and bought her gifts .
Madam Wilson felt wronged .
Oh , and I have something to tell you : I want to adopt Alice as my goddaughter .
You know Ive always wanted a daughter , but Wilson Garcia is a boy .
This had been a long standing regret .
Jacks expression changed .
No .
Why not ? You broke up , didnt you ? The words broke up pierced Jacks heart .
I never agreed to break up , and I wont .
Alice could be his girlfriend , not his sister .
Jack frowned .
If you want a daughter , have another one with Dad .

IVF technology is so advanced ; its not a problem .
Madam Wilson was speechless .
Alice was surprised but remained silent .
Jack and his stepmother seemed to have a good relationship .
Madam Wilson grabbed Alices hand , angrily addressing Jack .
You got dumped , and thats not my Tault .
Jack looked exasperated .
Im trying to make things right .
Can you stop interfering ? Alice felt awkward .
Could they stop mentioning the breakup ? Did they think she wasnt there ? Wasnt the wealthy matron supposed to wave a check ? Why was this so unconventional ? Madam Wilson was still holding Alices hand .
Alice , go wash your face and change .
Ill take you shopping .
I heard there are new clothes , perfect for young girls .
Her excitement was barely contained ; she wanted to indulge in dressing up a daughter .
Wilson Garcia had been a disaster to dress .
Alice hesitated , looking for an excuse to refuse .
Jack glanced at the time .
She needs to return to school .
The dorm has a curfew .
Oh , right .
I forgot .
Lets do this another time .
Madam Wilson looked regretful .
Alice nodded .
After hearing Madam Wilson clarify that Jack and Julia werent engaged , she was unsettled .
Her anger and the breakup stemmed from Jacks relationship with Julia .
Now she knew Julia had lied .
Jack took Alices wrist .
Ill take her back .
Madam Wilson said quickly , Take the gifts .
Ill buy her more .
Alice had no chance to respond before Jack took her away .
Outside the room , Alice uncomfortable .
I havent changed yet stopped , ll have Li Man get you something .
Jack didnt want her alone with his mother , fearing a slip of the tongue .
Alice blushed , whispering , Im not wearing a bra .
How could she go out like this ? Jack looked at her , took off his jacket , and draped it over her .
He told someone , Get her a room to change .
She couldnt go out with mud on her face .
Li Man arrived , taking Alice to another room .
After washing and changing , Alice felt relieved .
Looking at Li Man , she guessed , Youre his person , arent you ? Shed thought the TG team was working for her because of Andrew Yates .
Now she realized Jack had arranged it all .
Li Man looked awkward .
Miss Windham , Mr.
Wilson cares deeply about you , not to monitor you .
His concern was far from casual .
Alice said nothing .
Leaving the room , she saw Jack outside , talking in a low , serious tone , with an air of authority .
Shed never seen this side of him .
He turned , his expression softening .
He quickly gave instructions and approached her .
Alice felt overwhelmed .
Jack instinctively reached for her hand , but she pulled away .
She knew the Jack shed seen was the real him .
* His hand fell to his side ; he smiled wryly .
Dont take my mothers words to heart .
Alice looked up , deliberately saying , Auntie Wilson wants me to be her goddaughter and gave me a lot of money .
I might consider it .
She sensed Madam Wilson wasnt trying to humiliate her with money .
Jacks face darkened .
No .
I dont need another sister .
He needed
