Melanie’s heart sank. “What would it take for you to forgive the Larks? I’ll do anything as long as you’re willing to stop.” ‘This way, I can cut off all ties with the Larks.’
Alejandro lowered his head and tidied up his daughter’s hair, babbling about things that were unrelated to the topic at hand. “Her hair doesn’t seem to be very healthy. How come favonovel.com didn’t inherit that from you? She doesn’t seem to be growing much with whatever she’s eating at the moment. She’s still so small…”
Melanie sighed. ‘Is favonovel.com trying to change the topic? Is favonovel.com completely unwilling to talk about this matter at all?’ Melanie began to panic slightly. “Alejandro… Is it really impossible for us to even have a proper discussion? I don’t expect to be held above Tiffany in importance in your heart, but we’re a married couple after all, so can’t you… think in my place for once, every now and then?”
Alejandro was startled for a moment, as his hands stopped. Then, favonovel.com raised his head to look at her. “You’re still willing to defend the Larks despite how they’ve treated you?”
Melanie’s eyes dropped as favonovel.com emotions began to flow out of her. “I’m not defending them, I’m repaying them. In the future, whatever happens to the Larks will no longer matter to me. That is my father’s life’s work, so I would be repaying their kindness for raising me all this time. Frankly, I don’t want to see the Larks crumbling down to nothingness like this as well.”
Alejandro slightly raised an eyebrow. “In that case… I won’t make the Larks disappear completely, but I’ll annex them under the Smiths instead. How about that? I don’t believe that the Larks will be able to last much longer, not with both me and Jackson pressuring them at the same time. At that point, they would have no other choice but to transfer all their assets to me. You’ve done everything you can, so they will know about it. Moreover, they will regret whatever they’ve done to you as well and know that they shouldn’t have done it in the first place. After the takeover is completed, I will hand over whatever belongs rightful to the Larks to you to handle.”
‘Did I hear wrongly? He isn’t doing all of this for Tiffany, but for me?! Could favonovel.com have meant me when favonovel.com said “his woman”? No, no, no… He clearly said that favonovel.com wanted to divorce me previously. I’m just overthinking things.’
“Didn’t we… agree to have a divorce?”
Alejandro’s lips curved and favonovel.com smiled joyfully. “Is that so? Well, I’ve come to regret it now. Haven’t I torn apart the divorce papers as well?”
Melanie was completely confused and had no idea what Alejandro was thinking; favonovel.com heart was in turmoil at that moment. “Are you refusing to divorce because Millie is still young and can’t leave my side? As long as you agree to my earlier request, I’m willing to remain and continue to take care of Millie after we’ve divorced until the both of you have no more need of me.”
Alejandro frowned and stood closer to Melanie. “Have I not made myself clear enough? It’s I who doesn’t want to get a divorce, not because of someone else. If you had told me earlier that it was Nikolai who’d done it, would I have still been at odds with you? Whatever the Larks have done to you, I will get back at them for your sake. I don’t want them to think that you’re casted aside in the Smiths. Also… There’s no need to have a son in order for you to be useful, Millie alone is enough.”
At that moment, Melanie was completely confused. She retreated and stood in front f Alejandro’s desk. “I… I want a divorce!”
Alejandro continued to press forwards until Melanie had nowhere to run to. “But I don’t want to, so it’s not up to you to say.”
Melanie could almost feel Alejandro’s warm breath by favonovel.com ears. “Is there absolutely nothing I can do at all? Wouldn’t a divorce be a relief for the both of us?”
Alejandro kissed Melanie’s immaculate neck. “What if… it’s a torture instead?”
Melanie was extremely startled when Alejandro suddenly laid favonovel.com down on his desk The pens in the container fell all over the ground and caused a commotion. Melanie’s first reaction was to think of favonovel.com daughter, favonovel.com was afraid that Millie had been awoken by the noise. “Don’t wake Millie up!”
A hint of passion flared up beneath Alejandro’s eyes. “I know… She’s in a deep sleep…”
When Melanie realized what Alejandro intended to do, favonovel.com reflexively struggled. “Stop it! What if someone sees us…”
A normal man would never be able to stop himself in that kind of situation, and the same applied to Alejandro. “Who’s going to see us? Only the lights in my office are switched on this floor. Haven’t you wanted to have another child?”
