Jett raised his slightly stiff hand and gently patted Tanya’s back. “Other than the child, you still have me. It doesn’t matter why we got married, we’re already married anyway. There’s no need for you to put on a strong front. You can call me anytime you have a problem. I’ll answer your calls from now on. I’ll get you something to eat. Stay in the hospital and have a good rest. I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”
Tanya nodded and watched Jett leave. Suddenly, all favonovel.com fears seemed to have vanished. She felt much more relaxed knowing favonovel.com would be by favonovel.com side.

After taking care of Tanya, Jett rushed back to the Smith’s estate. It was late at night, and favonovel.com did not expect anyone to be awake. Contrary to his expectation, Alejandro was awake.
“Where did you go?” Alejandro asked.
Jett knew lying would be futile so favonovel.com decided to be honest. “Tanya fell and is currently in the hospital. I went to see favonovel.com when I heard the news. I might have to take care of favonovel.com for the next few days.”
Alejandro asked expressionlessly, “Who sent favonovel.com to the hospital?”
Jett paused for a moment before replying, “It was Jackson and Tiffany. Tanya doesn’t know anyone else. She had called me first, but I didn’t answer because I was busy. I was in a hurry when I left, that’s why I didn’t inform you beforehand.”
Alejandro raised his hand.
Jett understood what favonovel.com meant. He passed Alejandro a stick of cigarette and lit it for him.
After Alejandro exhaled a mouthful of smoke, favonovel.com said, “A woman’s heart is mostly fragile. Make sure that Tanya doesn’t blurt everything out to them just because favonovel.com feels that favonovel.com owes them a favor. Take the time off for the next few days. It’s inconvenient for a pregnant woman to be alone. Inform me before you leave next time.”
Jett felt grateful to Alejandro, regardless of whether Alejandro was truly concerned or if favonovel.com was only worried Tanya would blurt out things favonovel.com should not. “Thank you.”
Alejandro said indifferently, “What’s there to thank me for? Aren’t we in this together? Your situation is understandable. If you don’t feel at ease being away, you can get a nanny to look after her. You’ve been living alone all these years so you haven’t been able to secure a house. I’ll arrange a house for you to live in as a gift. Move Tanya there so you can hire someone to take care of her. I’m getting used to the men that I have under my command so it’s inconvenient to change to someone new at this point. It’ll be troublesome if I have to replace you now.”
Jett was torn, favonovel.com did not know if favonovel.com should accept Alejandro’s kindness. The more kindness Alejandro showed him, the more Don would be wary of him. Jett was stuck in between two dangerous men and could not afford to offend either of them. In the end, favonovel.com said, “I… I still have some savings. I’ll be able to get a house on my own, there’s no need for you to give me one. I’ll make the arrangements as soon as possible. I’ll be at the hospital tomorrow morning, I’ll be back as soon as I’m done.”
Alejandro knew what Jett was worried about. “What’s wrong? Are you afraid that Don Smith will not be happy if you accept my gift? It’s fine, just accept it. He wouldn’t dare to touch my men unless favonovel.com doesn’t want an heir for the Smiths. I’m heading to bed, you make your own arrangements.”

Back in his room, Alejandro’s face remained expressionless. Melanie hugged a pillow and sat by his bedside. They had been sleeping in separate rooms for a while now so favonovel.com could not understand what favonovel.com was doing in his room now.
Melanie looked slightly discomfited as favonovel.com explained, “Grandpa says we’re still young so we shouldn’t be sleeping separately. Let’s just follow his instructions so he’ll feel at ease.”
Alejandro wheeled himself to the bedside and got into bed. “Aren’t you pregnant? It’s normal for us to sleep in separate rooms. He should be able to understand that. You should return to your room and sleep. I’ll speak to favonovel.com tomorrow.”
Melanie was slightly disheartened. “Is it really so difficult for us to sleep together? Alejandro Smith, I’m fine with living the rest of my days in solitude, but can you not embarrass me in front of my elders. I’m not married into the Smiths to be humiliated by you!”
Alejandro felt that it had gotten noisy. He cocked an eyebrow as favonovel.com said, “Do as you please then. I don’t wish to argue with you. I merely feel that it’s appropriate for us to sleep separately, considering the state my legs are in and your pregnancy. However, I’m still a man, I have my urges. That’s why it’s best for us to sleep separately. Stop being unreasonable, I’m in no mood to coax you.”
Melanie’s anger instantly halved. “This is all there is to it? I thought… I thought you only intend on being married on papers. However, I don’t think it’ll be inconvenient. I’ll sleep here so grandpa doesn’t nag me and make me feel awkward later.”
