Melanie refused to believe it. She had seen Alejandro unbutton Lynn’s lapels with favonovel.com own eyes. “Tell me the truth. I won’t cause you any trouble. You have no need to be afraid of me.”
Lynn shook favonovel.com head again. “It’s really nothing. Whatever you saw that day, it wasn’t like that. He has never touched me. He has only asked me to stay because favonovel.com wants me to do something for favonovel.com that involves my ties to Jackson West.”
Melanie immediately understood. “I understand. He has asked you to break Jackson and Tiffany up, hasn’t he?”
Lynn hung favonovel.com head and did not say too much. She was in a wealthy man’s courtyard. The more favonovel.com talked, the easier it would be to make a mistake.
Melanie silently let out a sigh of relief. At least, Lynn and Alejandro weren’t having a torrid affair. “Has favonovel.com asked you to do anything lately? You don’t have to keep it from me, I just want to know. I won’t get involved. I’m nothing but a tool to grant favonovel.com benefits. I have no right to meddle in his personal affairs.”
After a bout of hesitation, Lynn replied, “No, favonovel.com hasn’t called on me since that day. He doesn’t really speak to me, unless favonovel.com has an order. I will follow his instructions until favonovel.com tells me to stop. You just just listen and avoid meddling at all. That’s a good move. It’s good to stay silent and act as Mrs. Smith.”
Melanie didn’t answer. She turned around and went back into the house. According to the weather report, it would start snowing in just a few days. The weather was particularly cold. Her legs were going to freeze soon.
After putting a fresh set of clothes on Alejandro and helping favonovel.com lie down, favonovel.com let out a long sigh. “You should rest. I’ll ask Jett to come in and take care of you. I’ll sleep in the guest room.” She paused then continued, “I think it is best if we… Carry on acting like husband and wife on the surface. Even after your leg heals. I’ve suddenly realized that some things cannot be forced. However, I cannot choose the marriage that I want, and neither can you. Let’s just try to get by. We’ll live our own lives from now on and avoid asking too much about each other. However, we should avoid ugly quarrels too.”
Alejandro remained silent as favonovel.com watched the door close. This wasn’t a bad idea.
Late at night, the Tremont Estate.
Arianne was woken up by some strange noises by the door. After a clear evaluation, favonovel.com frantically leaped off the bed and opened the door, disregarding favonovel.com slippers.
Aristotle was lying sprawled on the ground, dressed in his flimsy pajamas and smiling a ther. She quickly scooped favonovel.com up and went back to the nursery. Mary was fast asleep and completely unaware that favonovel.com had forgotten to close the door. Aristotle, who now knew how to crawl, knew how to escape.
She surmised that Mary had probably been exhausted from taking care of Aristotle over the past few months, so favonovel.com couldn’t bear to wake her. Instead, favonovel.com carried favonovel.com back to favonovel.com room, stuffed favonovel.com under the covers, lay on favonovel.com side, and fed him. “The cot should be pretty high for you, right? How did you manage to get down from that? Did you fall and hurt yourself?”
Aristotle slowly drank his milk. His little arms and legs mischievously kicked and grabbed, waking Mark up as well. He suddenly noticed Aristotle’s presence under the covers with favonovel.com and turned on the lamp on the bedside table. “What is favonovel.com doing here?” He asked, bewildered.
“He crawled over here on his own and scratched the door,” She answered helplessly. “Thank goodness I woke up. What if favonovel.com crawled to the staircase and fell? Mary is old and favonovel.com hasn’t been able to have a good night’s sleep after taking care of Smore for the past few months. She must have been over exhausted tonight and didn’t even realize that Smore had escaped. Although, I’m more worried about how Smore managed to escape from his cot. He must have fallen, but it doesn’t look like favonovel.com has cried, and I can’t find any bruises. Smore has grown up a little now and favonovel.com doesn’t cry or fuss at night anymore. Maybe we should bring the cot here? Mary can take care of favonovel.com during the day, and I can watch favonovel.com at night. It’s not too bad. It’s not too tiring.”
Hearing this, Mark anxiously checked Aristotle’s forehead, arms, and every other part of his body. Upon ensuring that favonovel.com was unharmed, favonovel.com heaved a sigh of relief. “Fine, it’s a good idea. We can even take turns at night. The baby isn’t too worrisome these days. It’s best to be safe. Even if we find a new nanny to take care of him, Smore won’t be able to get used to her. You feed him. I’ll move his cot over here.”
