Chapter 4
"YOU DID WHAT?" Edward shouted. The windows actually shook from the sound.
Alice calmly looked at Edward. Grinning to herself, she repeated the statement
that sent him into the rage he was in now.
"I placed an ad in the paper for a wife for you," she said sweetly.
"You….how could you…..I didn't…. WHY?" he finally forced out.
"Because you were taking entirely too much time deciding. So, I made the
decision for you."
"I told you I would think about it! That was not an automatic YES, you know."
Edward was fuming.
'But, it was going to be a yes. That's the important part," Alice argued.
"Stop thinking you can predict my future, cause you can't," Edward said thru
gritted teeth.
"Edward, remember, she was just trying to help," Jasper said from the corner
of the room.
Edward rounded on him. "And you! Did you know about this before now?"
Jasper sighed. As Alice's fiancé, he had known from the beginning of her
plan. What he hadn't planned on was her telling Edward. Now, all he could feel
was waves of tension from the brother and sister, who were currently glaring
daggers at each other. I told her this would be a bad idea.
"I won't lie to you. I did know, but I also told her she should talk to you
before she put the ad in the paper. But, you know Alice. Nothing stops
her once her mind is set on something," Jasper finished weakly after Edward
turned his glare on him.
"So, has anyone responded to this AD in the paper?" Edward's voice
dripped with venom.
"Relax, bro. You'll end up with a heart attack at this rate. No, no one has
responded. Frankly, I think even if they did, you would scare them away with
your charm."
"Funny, Alice. Very funny." Edward leaned against the wall. "Why could I not
have been an only child?" he wondered out loud. Alice looked affronted.
"I resent that, you know. I have always looked out for you, haven't I?"
Edward chuckled. "I'm older. Shouldn't that statement be the other way
around?"
"No. You need someone to keep you in line. You brood too much otherwise."
"Sis, you are a devilish little pixie, you know that, right?" Edward said,
calmer now.
"I was just trying it out anyway. Apparently, there is no girl out there
willing to marry a man that they have never laid eyes on before," Alice said
shortly.
"Who in their right mind would even want to?" Edward responded.
