Melanie suddenly laughed. “It’s fine, I understand what you meant. We… haven’t gotten a divorce. The divorce papers have been signed, but favonovel.com ended up tearing them apart afterward. He seemed to have changed his mind when favonovel.com found out that it wasn’t me who pushed you. I have no idea what’s going on in his mind. I even thought that favonovel.com wouldn’t let me off the hook even if favonovel.com found out that it was my brother who’d done it.”
Tiffany patted favonovel.com chest as favonovel.com heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s impossible! I think you should’ve told favonovel.com the truth long ago. Alejandro isn’t that kind of person, favonovel.com definitely wouldn’t have vented his anger on you if you weren’t a part of it. Furthermore, whatever that’s happened between me and favonovel.com is long but buried in the past, so there’s no way favonovel.com would seek revenge on my behalf! Although he’s now become Alejandro Smith, I still vaguely understand his temper from when favonovel.com was still Ethan Connor. Since the both of you aren’t divorced, then you should live together happily. I think the two of you are quite compatible with each other. He’s someone who’s extremely bad while you’re the complete opposite of him, isn’t there something to describe both of you? Oh! The both of you mutually reinforce each other!”
Melanie quietly pondered about what Tiffany had just said. ‘We are reinforcing each other mutually? This seems to be quite deep to be used to describe me and Alejandro. However, now that I think about it… I haven’t completely cast aside the idea of getting a divorce.’ Melanie recalled how happy and how glorious favonovel.com felt when favonovel.com first got married to Alejandro, then favonovel.com recalled how sad and devastated favonovel.com felt currently. ‘All of this that’s happened, aside from Alejandro not loving me, is all caused by the Larks.’
‘If things really go as Alejandro has planned, the Larks are probably going to hate me forever after he’s taken over their business and passed all of it over to me to manage. I can’t bear to have my family members scorning and insulting me everyday, but I also can’t bear to have Alejandro stay by my side as a constant reminder that our marriage is purely business, no love involved.’
Melanie was well aware that their marriage had been established for business reasons, but it was a fact that favonovel.com had fallen for favonovel.com as well. She thought that Alejandro would be able to develop feelings for favonovel.com as time passed, but favonovel.com had not expected for it to end up becoming a habit for favonovel.com to exist in his life. ‘Alejandro probably meant that favonovel.com can’t get used to not having me in his life if I were to leave, didn’t he? He’s probably used to the lifestyle where favonovel.com focuses on his work outside while I take care of the family at home, used to how I don’t interfere in his matters while I help favonovel.com take care of our daughter. However, all of this isn’t the kind of love that I want.’
‘There is a saying that love at first sight is a very rare sight to see since there are so many people in the world. However, I clearly remember that my heart skipped a beat when I first saw him. Is that why… I feel so depressed now?’
Tiffany curiously kept on saying “hello” when favonovel.com did not hear a word from Melanie, who finally regained favonovel.com senses and replied, “All right then, take good care of yourself. I’ll come and visit you when I’m available. Are you staying at the West family residence at the moment? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. Millie’s pestering me to take favonovel.com out to play.”
After hanging up the phone, Melanie walked towards the window in favonovel.com bedroom to look downstairs. ‘The guards at Alejandro’s manor have not retreated, so favonovel.com must still have his guard up around me. So, I can neither get favonovel.com to agree to a divorce, nor can I just walk off on my own.’
‘When I first rushed towards favonovel.com in the beginning, I never expected that I would one day think of how I could leave him. It’s actually laughable how both of us have actually ended up in this situation in the end.’
That afternoon, Melanie brought Millie along and suggested that favonovel.com wanted to go out for a walk. The guards allowed favonovel.com to leave after asking for Alejandro’s permission. However, they still drove Melanie instead of allowing favonovel.com to travel on favonovel.com own.
Melanie requested for the guards to drive favonovel.com to Tremont Estate. When favonovel.com entered, the guards, unexpectedly, did not follow her.
