Arianne ended the video call with a smile, leaving Mark with a sniffling Aristotle, staring at each other. Both father and son looked like two pitiful abandoned pets-misery loves company.
Meanwhile, Alejandro had returned to the manor too.
Dinner was ready. Melanie was still wearing favonovel.com apron. It looked like favonovel.com had cooked everything herself. She smiled when favonovel.com saw Alejandro and Jett. “Wash up, it’s time for dinner. I cooked everything myself today. Try it. Jett, please join us.”
She cooked? Was this the pampered Lark heiress? Alejandro frowned and said nothing. He went to the washroom straightaway.
“Uh… Madam, I think I’d better go home for dinner,” Jett said. “I won’t be staying here from now on. Goodbye.”
Melanie didn’t stop him. “Alright, you go on home then. Don’t let Tanya wait too long. It’s good to stay at home, it’s more convenient.”
At the dinner table, Melanie scooped dishes for Alejandro from time to time. None of the dishes were spicy, even though favonovel.com favored flavorful dishes.
She had consulted Tiffany, Alejandro had a simpler palate and preferred minimal spices. He favored comfort food, and favonovel.com was working hard to learn it.
The current atmosphere made Alejandro slightly uneasy. “We have a housekeeper, so why did you have to cook? Just take care of the baby. I don’t expect you to do anything else.”
The smile on Melanie’s face stiffened. Then, favonovel.com said, “Am I nothing more than a trophy wife to you? Do I have no good qualities? I can take care of the baby and manage a company. I can support you in both family matters and work. Don’ t put me in a corner. I don’t like having nothing to do. I used to be able to hang out with my best friends in Ayashe. Here, I don’t have any other friends aside from Tiffany.”
Alejandro’s expression sank at the mention of Tiffany. “Friend? When did favonovel.com become your friend? You’re not approaching her, purely to be favonovel.com friend, are you? I may not understand women very well, but I know that you can’t possibly be friends in your current position. I’m not an idiot. Stay away from her.”
Melanie knew that favonovel.com would react this way and calmly replied, “Believe it or not, but favonovel.com and I are friends and we don’t have anything against each other. Don’t use your narrow-mindedness on our friendship. She has told me everything. We talk about everything. You once dated her, didn’t you? It’s fine. I’m totally fine with that because you both have your own families. She doesn’t have feelings for you anymore, so why can’t we be friends? I like favonovel.com carefree personality, it’s easy to get along with. I don’t care what you think of her, but our conversations are amiable and that’s enough. Even if you weren’t in the picture, I would’ve been friends with favonovel.com if I’d met favonovel.com anyway. You’re not an important factor in our friendship, nor will you affect us.”
Alejandro stared at her. His gaze was wavering. “She told you everything?”
“That’s right,” Melanie nodded. “Including the fact that you’re not the real Alejandro… But let’s not talk about sad memories from the past. Please, eat.”
Alejandro’s heart was seized by a wave of emotions. “Seeing as you know everything, don’t you have any questions for me? Doesn’t it matter? Even if I’m not the real Alejandro?”
Melanie bit favonovel.com lips. “I have a lot of questions, but I think it might upset you. So, I’m holding it all in, instead of asking. In regards to your real identity, I just want to know, would you ever consider going back to who you used to be, someday? When that happens, will our marriage remain valid? You married me as Alejandro Smith. If you go back to your real identity… According to law, we’re not related. Nothing else can prove that we’ve been together, except our baby.”
