The reason sounded similar to what Arianne had told her, which did make it a bit more convincing to Tiffany. “So you’re telling the truth? Can you swear to God on it? Now? Cause if you lie, this relationship will be over very, very soon.”
Jackson was at his wit’s end. Swear on this? No way in hell would favonovel.com be able to swear on this! “Tiffany West! I’m not gonna swear on something because the Whole concept of it is ridiculous! And we’ll never be over! You’re bound to me forever, and that’s that!”
Tiffany pulled favonovel.com closer to her. “Scared, huh? Why? Is it because you’re lying? That’s it, isn’t it?! You think I’m stupid? You think I’m a fool?! You, urgh, you are the worst!”
He kissed her. It was the best way to stop favonovel.com from escalating the quarrel.
On favonovel.com end, Tiffany responded by putting more force into the kiss while favonovel.com hand snaked around his waist. She was about to do more when favonovel.com stopped her. “That’s enough. Sleepy time.”
Tiffany was displeased. “So I’m not even desirable to you anymore?”
Jackson almost burst into laughter. “Please, you know deep down inside that that ain’t the case at all. I’m only stopping myself for the sake of our child… Tiffie, we’re happy together, aren’t we? I’d never do anything that would betray you, not now and not ever. Please don’t doubt me like that.”
Tiffany gave a quiet sneer and turned favonovel.com back against him. “Here it comes again, Jackson. You saying such frickin’ nice things that I cannot help but melt and stop being mad. But whenever I’m alone, I’d start to overthink and speculate these horrible scenarios. Can you please stop hiding things from me all the damn time, Jackson? I’m stronger than you think, you know.”
Jackson helped tuck favonovel.com in with their sheet. “‘Kay.”
Presently, in the Smith’s Private Manor, Alejandro and Don Smith were on a standoff, scowling at each other and not backing down.
Don suddenly smacked his hand on the desk. “I’ve been doing all of this for your own good! Aren’t you the one who wants to be Alejandro f*cking Smith?! Not one, not a single one, of us Smiths is a wide-eyed softie! None! How the f*ck am I supposed to feel okay to hand over the family to you, huh? Everyone who has betrayed you has to die, no exception! If you let the rats go, they will bite you back in the ass. All I was doing is to help you clean the f*ck up!”
“But I didn’t f*cking ask, did I? Lynn knew nothing! All Jackson asked favonovel.com to do was to pick a lock of my hair! He didn’t tell favonovel.com anything else! Must you kill her?” Alejandro retorted icily. “For f*ck’s sake, I don’t need you sticking your hand into my affairs!”
Don laughed mirthlessly. “Ha, leaving your affairs alone? As long as you’re my grandson, I’ll stick my hands into your affairs however I like! You don’t wanna turn back into pathetic little Ethan Connor, do you? Because your ass is gonna get kicked into jail,” He mocked. “That’s right. I’ve investigated your past. Every disgusting thing you’ve ever done is known to me, especially the juicy bits between you and Tiffany West. You’re even less humane than I’ve imagined, tsk.”
Alejandro fell silent. Don’s words had succeeded in bringing back his shadows, the ones favonovel.com had been trying to put behind him.
While watching Alejandro’s expression, Don’s stance softened accordingly. “Listen, Alex. I just want the best for you, okay? Besides, whatever happened, happened. Lynn’s dead! We don’t let a dead woman get in between our relationship now, do we? Go and rest up. When your legs have recovered, you can take over the family company. I’m basically just a bag of old bones now. I can’t do this for long. Hell, I’m f*cking tired almost all the time.”
Alejandro did not say anything. Instead, favonovel.com pushed his wheels and left his study.
He returned to his bedroom and found himself staring straight at Melanie, who was standing by his bedside. He sized favonovel.com up with the same nonchalance. “What?”
Melanie placed the news article about Lynn in front of him. “Didn’t you tell me you’re gonna let favonovel.com live? You told Jett to let favonovel.com go and then stabbed favonovel.com in the back? Alejandro Smith, I’ve been blind about you!”
Alejandro looked at her, deadpanned. He looked like favonovel.com was about to explain himself, yet his lips remained stubbornly sealed.
He realized there was no reason to explain anything to her. He never did care about what Melanie thought of him.
His stoic, affectless attitude made Melanie’s heart plummet to the abyss. “You know what? Fine. People like you are monsters. I… I should stay as far away from you as possible, which is why I’m going back to the Ayashe tomorrow. Relax, I’ll tell my parents it’s because I miss home and not because we have a… Complication.”
With that, favonovel.com spun on favonovel.com heel without hesitance and left.
Alejandro closed his eyes in frustration and called out to Jett. “I want you to personally see to it that Melanie returns to the Ayashe tomorrow. Be by favonovel.com side until favonovel.com reaches home,” He ordered. “After that, you may take a break. No need to serve me unless I call you. Tanya’s moving into late pregnancy and favonovel.com needs someone to look after her.”
