Alejandro’s calm demeanor was the exact opposite of Melanie’s stormy rage. The calmer favonovel.com was, the angrier favonovel.com became. “I told you I’m divorcing you. End of discussion!”
His expression was calm as favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com from the corners of his eyes. “Reason?”
Melanie clenched favonovel.com fists and said through gritted favonovel.com teeth, “I’ve had enough of this life. It’s that simple.”
Alejandro scoffed. “In the past, no one heard my pleas when I said I didn’t want this marriage. Now, I’m supposed to accept that you’re tired and let you go? Give me a better reason. Make it more believable. I’ll grant you the divorce if you’re able to give me a convincing reason.”
Melanie trembled as favonovel.com said, “First, you’re still thinking about Tiffany. Second, you don’t treat me well enough. You’re always ignoring my feelings, and I’m thoroughly disappointed in you. Lastly, I refuse to let my daughter grow up in a loveless family. The two of us will never be able to provide favonovel.com with the family favonovel.com deserves. I don’t see any future for favonovel.com if we’re together. Is that enough?”
Melanie’s words were accusatory and pierced his ears. Alejandro would not know how badly favonovel.com had treated favonovel.com if favonovel.com did not tell favonovel.com those things. He began to realize that favonovel.com had been silently suffering all this while and had finally snapped. He had mixed feelings as favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com reddened eyes.
The cigarette continued to burn in between his fingers. In truth, favonovel.com did not want a divorce. He did not have a reason why favonovel.com did not want a divorce, or rather, favonovel.com refused to think of the reason. If favonovel.com had to come up with a reason, it would be because favonovel.com felt somewhat content with the marriage at the moment, including the lovely daughter favonovel.com had. All in all, favonovel.com found no reason for a divorce. It was true that Tiffany was still in his head, but it was a fact that would not change even if favonovel.com divorced Melanie. He no longer had anything to do with that woman who accompanied favonovel.com for three years. After a long while, favonovel.com finally said, “Why don’t we talk again when you’ve calmed down.”
Melanie could not wait any longer. She wanted to put a stop to this as quickly as favonovel.com could while favonovel.com was still brave and determined. She was afraid favonovel.com would hesitate if favonovel.com was given time to stew in favonovel.com thoughts. “I’m very calm at the moment. I’m thinking very clearly, at least. We’ll put an end to it now!”
Alejandro took a deep puff of his cigarette. The smoke wafted out of his mouth as favonovel.com said, “If you were calm, you wouldn’t be standing here and shouting. You should avoid making decisions in the heat of the moment. You might regret them later.”
Melanie paused briefly. She took a deep breath before sitting on the sofa and said, “I won’t regret my decision, I’m tired.”
Alejandro stubbed the cigarette out in the ashtray as favonovel.com felt the heat approaching his fingertips. “About last night… I’m sorry. I’ve had too much to drink. It wasn’t my intention to treat you that way. I have some urgent matters to attend to at the office, we’ll continue our discussion when I return. The nanny will take care of Melissa for the time being. You’re to have no contact with favonovel.com until I return.” He left the manor without looking back as soon as favonovel.com finished speaking.
Melanie laid on the sofa as favonovel.com felt energy leaving favonovel.com body. She silently cried. After favonovel.com had steeled herself and decided to get a divorce, why was favonovel.com being so difficult? What was the reason for that? Was favonovel.com not unwilling to get married in the first place? He even apologized for his actions last night. If favonovel.com was capable of apologizing, why did favonovel.com have to hurt favonovel.com so deeply before doing so? She felt as though favonovel.com had been stuck in a vicious cycle of being filled with hope before favonovel.com was disappointed. She wanted to break out of the cycle.
She felt helpless that favonovel.com was not allowed to see Melissa and had no choice but to call Tiffany, the only friend favonovel.com had in the city. The moment the call connected, Melanie sobbed uncontrollably as soon as favonovel.com heard Tiffany’s voice. “Tiffany, I want to divorce Alejandro…”
Tiffany jumped in surprise. “Divorce? Why? What did favonovel.com do to you? Weren’t the two of you just fine at the gala? What’s changed? Why don’t you calm down, and stop crying first…”
