It was considered to be Millie’s first visit there, so favonovel.com was a little shy. She felt curious and wanted to play when favonovel.com saw the various items in the patio that seemed fun to play with, yet favonovel.com was afraid to do so at the same time. It was not until Arianne had come out to welcome them and gotten Smore to bring Millie to play along that the latter became a little more courageous.
From the moment Melanie entered Tremont Estate, Arianne could tell that favonovel.com had visited favonovel.com for a reason, so favonovel.com asked Mary to brew some tea. Then, both favonovel.com and Melanie sat by the tea table in the patio as they casually talked. “What’s the matter? I know that the situation within the Larks doesn’t look too good, so you must be feeling bad as well.”
Melanie lowered favonovel.com eyes. “Honestly… There’s nothing much for me to feel bad about. I am troubled by the amount of pressure my family is putting on me, but I can’t be bothered with how the Larks end up. Arianne, I still want to get a divorce.”
Arianne’s eyes trembled a little. “I heard from Tiffany that Alejandro isn’t willing to divorce at the moment. Logically speaking… You shouldn’t have any reason to insist on getting a divorce, so is it because Alejandro wrongly accused you? You were the one who silently approved of bearing the sole responsibility at that time though…”
Melanie shook favonovel.com head. “It’s not because of that. Although I was a little saddened when favonovel.com suspected me previously, but… I don’t blame him. The reason why I want to have a divorce is because I can’t continue to live like this. I can’t continue to live with favonovel.com when all there’s left for me is torture. He’s promised to take over the company the Larks have and pass it on for me to manage, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I… am an illegitimate daughter that my father had with another woman. What a joke, right? I’d just recently found out because my mother had been treating me the same as my two brothers since I was a child, so I wasn’t able to tell at all. My real mother has long since passed away, and I was brought into the Larks when I was a month old…”
Arianne was slightly shocked. “How’s that possible? Are you sure it’s not… something your mother said in the heat of the moment while favonovel.com was arguing with you?”
Melanie gave off a wry smile as favonovel.com said, “No, it’s definitely true. From the moment I was married, my mother had almost never given me a call. She rarely took the initiative to call me, aside from when favonovel.com needed Alejandro’s help with something on the business side. Moreover, the moment the incident where my brother pushed Tiffany occurred, the Larks all expected me to bear the sole responsibility of it. Am I not the person who’s the most innocent? Everything the Larks have belongs to both my brothers, I don’t have any share of it at all. Everything changed the moment I got married. In the past, before I’d gotten married, they’d never made me feel that something was amiss. I think it’s probably because they wanted to raise me well enough so that they could receive an even greater benefit later on. I’m very grateful that they never told me the truth for the past 20 years, as I didn’t think little of myself. At least I was able to live happily for all those years.”
Arianne remained silent for a moment before favonovel.com finally said, “I think I understand the gist of it now. You must’ve felt devastated when Alejandro suggested getting a divorce. You’d learned the truth about your identity and your family even treated you like this, yet your husband still wanted to divorce you. Are you feeling like you have no one to depend on at the moment? Are you feeling helpless? You want to get a divorce in the hopes of escaping all of this, which I can understand… But what about Millie? She’s the only “thing” that belongs to you now.”
Melanie turned to look at Smore and Millie, who were playing together, and tears began to well up in favonovel.com eyes. “I don’t know I can’t bear to part with my daughter as well, but I really want to leave that place. Whenever I think of how favonovel.com won’t be in m y life anymore, I end up crying so much that I lose my voice. I feel extremely disheartened, but I won’t be able to leave if I don’t leave favonovel.com with Alejandro, he’ll never allow me to take favonovel.com with me. Moreover, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to raise favonovel.com properly by myself. In the past, I’d always lived like a princess at the Larks’, where everything would be laid out for me on a silver spoon, so I never thought about how I could live independently. Moreover, I’ve gotten married so early and even given birth to a child, so I have no idea how I could possibly survive on my own when I’m suddenly being forced into this situation…”
