Seeing favonovel.com rise in emotions, Don Smith had no choice but to soften his tone. “Melanie, you’ve misunderstood me. That’s not what I mean. I’m not asking you to shield Ale in front of your family members. I’m well aware of how he’s been treating you, and it’s his fault. I’m just worried that separating from this conflict would only estrange both of you further, instead of solving the problem. If you really want to go, have Ale take you there. You have to smooth things over before you leave, understand?”
Melanie didn’t want to waste favonovel.com energy on guessing what Don Smith was thinking. It didn’t matter if everything wasn’t what it seemed. Having to deal with conjectures all the time was too tiresome. She didn’t feel like caring anymore, and did not want to try reading his mind. All favonovel.com wanted to do was to deliver this baby, safe and sound. “I understand.”
Upon returning to favonovel.com room after dinner, favonovel.com realized that Don Smith had an ulterior motive in asking Alejandro to take favonovel.com back to Ayashe. Alejandro probably wouldn’t care, which meant that the real meaning behind Don Smith’s words was, if favonovel.com wanted to go, favonovel.com needed Alejandro‘s approval first. If Alejandro refused to take her, favonovel.com could forget about leaving. Don Smith knew Alejandro very well. Therefore, Don Smith never intended on letting favonovel.com go in the first place.
Alejandro’s words served as a reminder for her; favonovel.com was nothing more than an outsider in the Smith household. She needn’t take the old man’s kindness towards favonovel.com seriously. Kindness with an ulterior motive was worthless.
Despite having all of that in mind, favonovel.com confronted Alejandro. “Grandfather has asked you to take me back to Ayashe. I just want to stay there for the rest of my pregnancy. I’ll come back when the baby is born. I just can’t seem to adapt to this place. I could do it before I got pregnant, and I was able to tolerate it all. But now that I’m pregnant, I’m feeling even more uncomfortable than ever. I can’t eat or sleep. Please, try to consider my needs.”
To favonovel.com surprise, Alejandro agreed this time. “Sure, when do we leave?”
His agreement seemed too easy, a stark contrast from his previous attitude. As a result, favonovel.com lost favonovel.com senses for a moment. “Uh… Will tomorrow be okay? You don’t think that I’m throwing a tantrum anymore?”
Alejandro shot favonovel.com an indifferent glance. “I’ll have more peace and quiet when you leave. Besides, you have a point. You weren’t raised in the capital, so it’s quite understandable that you’d have difficulty adapting here. Your pregnancy is a special case. If you want to go home, go. Even if you are throwing a tantrum, it doesn’t matter to me. I’ll play along with whatever you want. That way, everyone’s happier.”
His answer was both pertinent and aloof. Melanie smiled. Her smile carried hints of bitterness. “Hehe… Fine. You want peace and quiet, and so do I. Everyone’s happy. That’s not so bad.”

The next morning, Arianne received a call from Tiffany in the midst of favonovel.com busy work day. She blinked furiously when the phone rang and felt slightly rattled. She put down favonovel.com work, stepped aside, and answered the call, it was Jackson. “Tiffie’s stomach suddenly began hurting today. She’s in surgery now. She asked me to call you and say that favonovel.com wants you to be here. She’ll tear me to pieces if favonovel.com doesn’t see you here when she’s out. Can you come over?”
Arianne panicked. “I’m at the office. I’ll come over immediately. I’ll be there before she’s done with surgery. That’s it for now. I have to do my handovers!”
After ending the call, favonovel.com quickly called Robin over. “Fix up this sample for me, I’m already halfway done. There’s been an emergency, and I have to take the day off. Thank you!”
