Smith Manor was located a little further away so by the time Alejandro and Melanie arrived home, it was already very late.
The pair remained silent during their journey home.
Melanie was worried that Alejandro would be upset at favonovel.com using the word, ‘Bro’, to Mark earlier so favonovel.com was too scared to speak up. She ran straight to the bedroom as soon as they arrived home to remove favonovel.com makeup.
Surprisingly, Alejandro followed favonovel.com into the bedroom as well, but favonovel.com ignored her. He only took his clothes off before favonovel.com took a shower.
Feeling uneasy, favonovel.com tried to dispel the awkwardness by saying, “Are you angry?”
Alejandro glanced at her. “Why would I be angry?”
“Because I accidentally called Mark Tremont ‘Bro’ in front of everyone,” favonovel.com said, almost whispering.
“No, I’m not,” Alejandro calmly replied, “Come here.”
She got up and walked toward him. However, when favonovel.com realized his intention, favonovel.com paused in favonovel.com steps. “I… I have to check on the baby!”
He pulled favonovel.com toward favonovel.com before favonovel.com could turn around and leave, then, lowered his head and caught favonovel.com lips.
Melanie bit his tongue… hard. She pushed favonovel.com away as favonovel.com winced in pain. “We can’t do it now! Calm down, I’m going to check on the baby!”
The storm in Alejandro’s gaze remained as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com leave in a panic. However, favonovel.com did not try to force favonovel.com again. That was just a moment of impulse. He had noticed how earnestly close favonovel.com and Tiffany were at the party and began feeling apprehensive. Did this woman really not have a scheme up favonovel.com sleeve? Could favonovel.com really accept favonovel.com having someone else on his mind? Was favonovel.com still the bossy and spoiled Lark heiress favonovel.com once knew? It was as if the only bold act favonovel.com dared to do was bite his tongue a moment ago. It hurt, but favonovel.com was not annoyed. It felt different.
By the time favonovel.com finished showering, Melanie was still nowhere to be found in the room. He never really paid favonovel.com any attention so favonovel.com did not care where favonovel.com went and went to bed.
After some time, the room door was gently pushed open. Melanie quietly walked toward the bed. She looked at the sleeping man and hesitantly reached favonovel.com hand under the covers. After feeling around, Alejandro suddenly spoke up, “You ran away in a panic when I wanted sex, and now, you’re teasing me after I fell asleep. What are you playing at?”
Melanie pulled favonovel.com hand out, panicking. “It’s not that… I can’t find my ring. I remember putting it by your pillow. Have you seen it?” It was their wedding ring. She had searched every corner of the house for it. After some thought, favonovel.com realized the bed was the only place favonovel.com did not search. She would not be able to sleep if favonovel.com did not find it.
“I haven’t seen it,” Alejandro replied in a tone that was a mixture of impatience and exhaustion, “Can’t you look for it tomorrow? Go to bed. Stop fooling around.”
She felt disappointed. Did it really not matter to him?
Sensing favonovel.com still-moving but quiet figure, Alejandro got up impatiently and turned on the lights in the room. “Fine, fine, we’ll look for it. Hurry up.”
