Alejandro frowned at the mention of Tiffany’s name. “Stop fixating on other people’s business and take care of yourself.”
“You’re worried that I’m paying Tiffany too much attention, aren’t you?” favonovel.com asked. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her. That’s not who I am. I’m just giving you an update on favonovel.com condition. You’d be keeping an eye on favonovel.com too, even if I kept my mouth shut, wouldn’t you?”
Alejandro didn’t deny it. It’s true, favonovel.com had been paying close attention to everything about Tiffany, including favonovel.com checking into the hospital to wait for favonovel.com delivery. He knew all about it.
At that moment, Melanie truly felt exhausted. It was an exhaustion that stemmed from favonovel.com mental state. Alejandro was like a rock, a rock that would never warm up. No matter how much favonovel.com tried, favonovel.com would only ever have a cold reception from him. His occasional display of warmth was simply to put on a show for outsiders.
She didn’t want to live the next half of favonovel.com pregnancy in depression. After a long pause, favonovel.com said, “I think I’ll go back to Ayashe tomorrow and spend the rest of my pregnancy there. I’m not used to this place.” At least, favonovel.com felt more relaxed at the Larks’ home and didn’t need to constantly walk on eggshells, paying close attention to other people’s opinions and moods.
“Whatever!” Alejandro irritably snapped. “Are all women this troublesome? Whining and threatening to leave whenever something doesn’t go their way? Do you really think that will work on me?”
Melanie tried favonovel.com best to control favonovel.com emotions. “You’re overthinking things. I just feel unhappy staying here, and I’m not used to this place anyway. It’s bad for the baby if I hold in my emotions all the time. I’m not throwing a tantrum at you, and I’m not hoping for you to go through the trouble of putting on a show, just to please me. That’s all…” Then, favonovel.com turned around and walked out, making favonovel.com way back to the dinner table to continue favonovel.com meal.
Don Smith could see the tears in favonovel.com eyes and asked, “Did favonovel.com piss you off again?”
Melanie hurriedly shook favonovel.com head. “No! I’m just sleepy. My back’s been aching lately too. The doctor says that this is quite common during pregnancy. Grandfather, I’m starting to miss my home. I’d like to go back home for the rest of my pregnancy. Is that okay? It has got nothing to do with anyone; I just feel like going home. Perhaps my mental state is more fragile due to my pregnancy…”
Of course, Don Smith did not believe her. “Melanie, I have experience. You can’t fool me. It’s quite normal for couples to fight. If there’s a problem, you can always discuss it behind closed doors. There’s no need to go home to your mother. It wouldn’t do you any good if everyone found out about this, would it? You’re not children anymore. Don’t solve your problems impulsively.”
It may have sounded like advice, but in reality, it seemed more like a scolding.
Melanie was suddenly reminded of Alejandro’s words. Don Smith was only nice to favonovel.com because favonovel.com was an outsider. She was a Lark.. She was nothing more than a tool for benefit in his eyes. Her feelings and opinions, none of them mattered, did they? She simply wanted to go back to favonovel.com home, a place most familiar to her, while favonovel.com was in this fragile state. Why wasn’t favonovel.com allowed to do that?
She was close to breaking down. “Grandfather, do I look like I’m throwing a tantrum to you? I just want to spend the rest of my pregnancy in my own home. Why can’t I do that? Yes, it’s true. Alejandro and I have our conflicts. But I’ve never mentioned our quarrels to anyone in my family. I’ve been swallowing it all on my own! I’ve been putting myself in everyone else’s shoes and putting both our families into consideration. You shouldn’t think of me in that way. I’m not being impulsive. I just want to go home. That would be good for me and the baby.”
