It took Melanie almost two hours to find favonovel.com way back to the Smith Estate.
The trip inspired quite a rant about the estate’s unnecessarily inaccessible location and how it made a simple visit to Tiffany’s an exercise that consumed hours.
She had not even finished complaining to herself when Jett suddenly approached favonovel.com with his unemotive, mechanical tone. “Madam, Mr. Smith would like to speak to you in the bedroom. He’s waiting for you.”
Melanie’s heart skipped a beat, the implication behind Alejandro’s invitation dawning onto her. Her husband would usually do everything favonovel.com could to avoid her, but this was the first time favonovel.com was proactively seeking her. She gave Jett a hum to show that favonovel.com understood before starting toward the stairs.
Jett abruptly stepped forward again and advised her. “Madam, please don’t do anything that could get on his bad side. Be careful with your words.”
Melanie was so close to countering favonovel.com with a ‘seriously?’. He made Alejandro sound like a man-eating ogre! Besides, favonovel.com had no reason to act as though favonovel.com status was lower than his. At the same time, the fact that Jett was wearing such a dour, no-nonsense expression when favonovel.com told favonovel.com his concerns made favonovel.com confidence wane.
Melanie entered their bedroom and realized that none of the lights were on, which literally threw favonovel.com in the dark. She was about to search for the light switch when favonovel.com heard Alejandro’s voice behind her. “Why did you visit her?”
His voice shocked her, propelling favonovel.com hand to guard favonovel.com chest before turning on favonovel.com heels. In the dark, Alejandro’s silhouette seemed far more towering and larger than usual. Even in favonovel.com heels, Melanie’s forehead only narrowly reached his chin.
The uneasy air radiating from favonovel.com steadily engulfed her, and favonovel.com nerves began to flare. “I… I was only there to give favonovel.com some health products. I mean, the two of you are good friends, and any friend of yours is automatically a friend of mine, right? Plus, favonovel.com gave us a wedding gift, a painting is not at all cheap. Besides that, I thought it would be good to befriend someone who could someday teach me things when I become an expecting mother in the future. After all, she’s one step ahead of me in motherhood by being pregnant now—”
Alejandro clutched favonovel.com chin abruptly without moderating his force. “You think I have no idea what’s going on inside that head of yours, do you? You touched my wallet while I was asleep and saw that picture inside it, hmm? Let me spell it out, we will not be having children of our own. Ever!”
Melanie’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about? I didn’t plan to bring out any skeletons in the closet, but this… Are you coming clean to me?”
Don Smith’s warning suddenly blared in Alejandro’s mind. In a split second, favonovel.com realized it was not yet time to abandon Melanie, nor act without restraints. He allowed himself a pause before softening his tone. “Look, I just don’t like kids, okay? They are so… Rowdy. As for the photo, well, I can explain—”
Before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, Melanie pushed favonovel.com hand forward and covered his mouth. “No, no need, because I believe in you! I believe that both of you had nothing going on with one another. A-And I don’t mind not having any kids if you don’t want them. It’s fine. I mean, the seniors in our families will probably give us a hard time over it, but we can always keep dragging and dodging and eluding that issue. The bottom line is that I’ll always defer to you.”
Frankly, Alejandro could not come up with any convincing excuses for the photo either, so the stance Melanie took was a godsend to him. He flicked the switches on, and light returned to their room once more.
He took out the photo in his wallet and balled his fist around it tightly. Then, favonovel.com relaxed his hand and threw it into the wastebasket. “It’s true that we never had anything between us,” He said. “We’ve always been ‘just friends’. So please, you don’t need to go looking for her. Our relationship was not close enough for you to disrupt favonovel.com life like that. And yes, she’s getting married soon. I’ll leave the wedding gift part to you.”
Alejandro’s action blindsided Melanie, but that surprise quickly gave way to a fortified faith in him. of course, favonovel.com knew that no man would put a photo of a “friend” of the opposite sex in his wallet and carry it in person. However, favonovel.com had also just witnessed favonovel.com husband cast that photo away, so favonovel.com latched onto that act and rationalized it as a reason to believe him. Let his bygones be bygones, favonovel.com reasoned, and look ahead.
Melanie stepped forward and hooked favonovel.com arm around his waist. “Okay. You can count on me for that one. Also… You’re free tonight, I hope? I… I miss your touch.”
Alejandro was not a man without desires. When a beauty threw herself into his lap, his human, carnal need took over, and in a flash, favonovel.com caged favonovel.com with his arms and pushed favonovel.com down onto the bed.
He did not love her, so there was no genuine emotion in their act but the need to sate his desire. Naturally, Alejandro would make sure that favonovel.com would never be pregnant with his seed, too.
When the sounds within their bedroom walls escaped outside, Jett walked away quietly, sighing with relief. He had been mortified at the prospect of Alejandro and Melanie getting into a devastating altercation, as that could expose Alejandro’s true identity.
If that man ever got into trouble, Jett himself would not be spared.
