She sat down and waited for more than ten minutes before Alejandro finally arrived. “My apologies, there was traffic on the way here. I left early, but I ended up late anyway. Sorry for making you wait.”
Alejandro’s leg wasn’t well enough to allow favonovel.com to drive, so jett had to come along. Tiffany smiled at Jett in greeting and looked at Alejandro too. “Long time no see. I’ve heard that Melanie’s given birth. Is it a boy or a girl? I guess it was a premature birth?”
Alejandro was just about to reply when favonovel.com suddenly noticed the potted plant on the side. His pupils shifted. “A girl. She’s very healthy. You wanted to talk to me?”
Tiffany took a deep breath. “You don’t mind having other people around, do you? If not, I’ll be frank.”
The “other people” that favonovel.com was referring to was Jett. After all, this matter was considered a shady scandal for Alejandro. The corners of Alejandro’s lips curled and favonovel.com smiled calmly. “It’s fine.”
Tiffany paused and said, “Back when you gave me this flower, you mentioned that you’ d tell me a secret when it bloomed. You haven’t told me that secret yet, but I know it. I’m here to give this plant back to you. I wonder… if I should call you Alejandro Smith, or Ethan Connor?”
Alejandro wasn’t at all surprised. He knew that favonovel.com had found out when favonovel.com saw the plant. “It’s your choice. Call me whatever you like.”
Tiffany felt uneasy. She hadn’t expected favonovel.com to be so calm about it. “Why did you approach me with Alejandro’s identity?” She knew but favonovel.com wanted to hear it from him.
Alejandro’s gaze toward favonovel.com grew heated. “You know why. Would you have let me come near you if I told you who I was? I’ve done all of this to make up for my mistakes in my youth. If there’s still a chance for me to make up for it all… But now, it looks like it’s getting further and further from my reach… just like those three years we once had together. I can’t go back, I’ll never have it again.”
Tiffany had thought of all sorts of ways to show favonovel.com hostility before favonovel.com arrival, but in the end, none of it came into play. “Let me go,” favonovel.com said, almost pleadingly. “Live out your life as Alejandro Smith. You have a wife and a daughter. You’ve let me down, but don’t make the same mistake with Melanie. You know how bad your childhood was, so don’t let your daughter be like you. Leave the past in the past. I can never forgive the man who brought my family into ruin, but I’m not thinking of vengeance. I just want it to end. I’ve still got a long way to go in life, and I’d like to go through it with the man I love. I don’t want to be stuck in the past. You don’t have to feel like you owe me a thing. I sought you out on my own. I… fell in love with you first. I know that it was my mistake. I shouldn’t have provoked you. So, let’s pretend it never happened. Okay?”
Jett had heard too much and knew that it wouldn’t be a good thing. “Sir, I need to use the washroom.” He quickly left before Alejandro could respond.
Alejandro had mixed feelings. “Are you… so unaffected by me that you won’t even hate me? You don’t even want revenge?”
Tiffany picked up favonovel.com coffee cup and took a sip. “Revenge will only lead to more revenge. When will it end? We were once in love, after all. Consider it a form of leeway. Let me go so that you can let yourself go too.”
Alejandro gritted his teeth. “I can’t do it.”
Tiffany was growing frantic. “Why not? I don’t care about the things you’ve done anymore. Why are you still doing this? Why must you insist on driving us both to the brink of madness before feeling satisfied? I don’t want to waste the rest of my life fighting with you. I have a family, a man I love and a son. Ijust want to live my life in peace. The hurt you’ve given me can never be fixed! Your only choice is to be a good husband to Melanie and a good father to your daughter. Be a good man for the rest of your life. That’s how you make up for it! That’s how you make up for the mistakes you’ve made in your past!”
