The two women only bade each other farewell and went their separate ways when it was almost dusk.
Melanie emerged from the conversation a visibly spirited woman. It seemed like this stemmed from having favonovel.com worries soothed.
She returned to Smith Manor and resumed favonovel.com old ways without mentioning getting a divorce. She told herself that favonovel.com would give both Alejandro and herself one last chance.
Jett had furtively reported Melanie’s new emotional development to Alejandro.
Upon hearing that, Alejandro stopped hiding and went home earlier than usual to play with his daughter. He acted as though nothing had happened as well. He only stopped playing with Melissa when favonovel.com began to bawl and nothing favonovel.com did could soothe her.
No one mentioned the divorce. No one knew if Alejandro had quietly tossed the divorce agreement that Melanie had given favonovel.com earlier away.

As soon as Mark stepped through the door, favonovel.com discovered Arianne was regarding favonovel.com with a strange expression on favonovel.com face. He was discomfited by this so favonovel.com asked, “What are you looking at? Do I look different?”
Arianne covered favonovel.com smile with favonovel.com hand. “Oh, it’s nothing. It suddenly occurs to me that you’ve become much kinder compared to before.”
Mark understood the hidden meaning in favonovel.com words immediately. His expression hardened. “No, you’re mistaken. I didn’t become ‘kinder’ like you said. Alejandro invited himself into my office. He was bothering me so I helped favonovel.com to regain my peace. Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone so shameless before. Where’s his stupid, stubborn pride, huh? Why did favonovel.com lose his pride after becoming Alejandro?”
Arianne could no longer stifle favonovel.com laughter. “Aww, it’s definitely not because he’s shameless or anything. You helped favonovel.com because he’s your brother! Now that’s more deserving of Melanie calling you ‘bro’ that one time!” favonovel.com said teasingly, “Alright, go and shower. We can start dinner once you’re done.”
Mark felt slightly dismal, but favonovel.com no longer explained himself. Frankly, even favonovel.com did not know why favonovel.com had helped Alejandro. He was sure most of it had to do with Alejandro being extremely skilled at bothering him.

During dinner, Mark suddenly recalled something. “Oh, right. I’ll be going on a trip in two days. I don’t know when I’ll be back. Remember that transportation agreement I signed with Alejandro? He said if I’m still worried, I can tag along and watch the entire process with him. We’re shipping our goods on sea this time so it might take a while,” favonovel.com said, “Honestly, I didn’t want to go, but Seaton told me that I should tag along and use this as an opportunity to gather new information. I don’t quite trust Alejandro so this is a good opportunity and experience for me to set up a transportation company in the future. It would certainly be convenient if I have a transportation company as well. I think Seaton is right.”
Arianne remembered Seaton rather vividly. Based on favonovel.com experience, Mark rarely praised anyone. This showed Seaton was important. It was obvious Mark thought Seaton was someone deserving of his trust.
