She did not reply. Instead, favonovel.com bent down and carefully searched the bed. Alas, favonovel.com still could not find the ring.
Alejandro’s patience was at its limit. “If you can’t find it, forget it. Just get a new one tomorrow.”
She bit favonovel.com lips. “If you can get a new ring after losing it, does it mean you can do the same to people? I’ll find it. You go to bed.” She turned around and left after that.
Alejandro was bemused. He believed that favonovel.com irrational tendencies were acting up again. However, when favonovel.com lay down again, favonovel.com found himself unable to fall back asleep. After tossing and turning for a long time, favonovel.com got up, strode to the window, and lit a cigarette. He swept his gaze across every corner of the room. Then, favonovel.com noticed a faintly glittering object in a corner under the bed. He walked toward it, leaned forward, and found Melanie’s wedding ring. The glimmer of light was from the sparkle of the diamond.
He picked the ring up, placed it against his lips, and blew on it to get rid of the dust. Then, favonovel.com slipped it on his pinky. He certainly did not want to face an emotionally unstable woman at that moment. Who knew if they would end up fighting?

The next morning, favonovel.com went straight to the office. He had forgotten all about the ring.
When favonovel.com finished work and arrived home, favonovel.com found Melanie still searching for the ring in the manor. It was only then that favonovel.com remembered the ring. The sight of favonovel.com seriously looking for the ring amused him. The urge to tease favonovel.com suddenly overcame him. He strode forward and asked, “Still looking for the ring?”
Melanie was upset with favonovel.com due to his attitude from last night so favonovel.com deliberately showed favonovel.com a sulky expression. “Yes.”
He sat down on the couch. “Stop looking. I bought you a new one.” Then, favonovel.com pulled the ring off his pinky and placed it on the coffee table.
Melanie refused to even look at favonovel.com when favonovel.com heard that it was a new ring. “I don’t want a new one. I will find it. It’s definitely somewhere in this house.”
He did not say anything else and only watched as favonovel.com continued searching. Finally, when his amusement waned, favonovel.com said, “Alright, stop looking. How can I possibly find time to buy you a new ring? I found it under the bed. Have a look.”
Melanie was taken aback. She marched to the coffee table, picked up the ring, and examined it before putting it on favonovel.com finger. Only then favonovel.com was certain favonovel.com was not lying. “When did you find it?”
“Last night,” favonovel.com replied indifferently.
She glared at him. “Why didn’t you say something? I’ve been looking for it all day!”
He could tell that favonovel.com was slightly annoyed. “You didn’t ask, and I forgot. I just remembered. Is this tiny thing really that important? Isn’t it just a piece of jewelry to you women? If it’s lost, it’s lost. Just get a new one. What would you do if you really couldn’t find it?”
Melanie could not be bothered to argue with him. She picked the baby up and returned to the room to feed her. Explaining sentiment and feelings to a cold-blooded animal like favonovel.com was, to put it bluntly, like preaching to a deaf man.
Alejandro sat for a while before favonovel.com made his way to the study. He noticed that the slightly-wilted plant that had not been taken care of in days was showing signs of revival. He was surprised. The housekeeper would never touch any of his things without his permission. This plant had been moved and placed in a corner with sunlight. No one else but Melanie would dare to do such a thing. She knew that favonovel.com had brought this plant back after meeting Tiffany. Why was favonovel.com taking care of it? He really could not figure that woman out.
