Melanie gave favonovel.com full understanding to Alejandro. “It’s fine, this is how he’s been living all this time. He’s never called to tell me if favonovel.com was going to be home for dinner since I’m normally always at home. Sorry for bothering you today. I’ll be leaving with Millie now, Mark, Arianne.”
Mark slightly nodded his head in acknowledgement. Arianne got up and sent Melanie out. “Remember what I told you. You should calm down and have a long, hard thought about it these next few days. Divorce isn’t a simple matter. You wouldn’t want to regret it later on.”
Melanie nodded favonovel.com head and got into favonovel.com car with Millie.
Arianne returned to the dining table after seeing that Melanie’s car had gone off into the distance. Just as favonovel.com was about to eat, Mark grumbled as favonovel.com said, “I seem to recall that I would always call if I wasn’t going to be home for dinner, right?”
Arianne raised an eyebrow as favonovel.com said, “That’s right, I wasn’t even referring to you just now. What made you think I was?”
Mark couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss, but favonovel.com couldn’t put his finger as to what it was…
On the other hand, when Melanie and Millie returned to Alejandro’s manor, the kitchen was still quiet. When Melanie saw that Alejandro was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a magazine, favonovel.com went up and casually asked, “Aren’t you hungry? Why didn’t you ask someone in the kitchen to make you something to eat when you knew that it would be late by the time I arrived home…”
Alejandro put down the magazine favonovel.com was reading and waved towards Millie. “Millie, come here and let Daddy hug you.”
Millie jumped into his arms and hurriedly complained about how aggrieved favonovel.com felt. It took Alejandro a long time before favonovel.com finally got around to what had happened. “Oh… Did you fall down? Where did you fall on? Does it hurt?”
Millie touched favonovel.com little face. She had actually fallen down from the slide face-first at the time. Alejandro gently blew on the little girl’s face. “Alright, alright, it won’t hurt after I blow on it…”
Melanie rolled favonovel.com eyes as favonovel.com saw the scene before her. ‘He didn’t even want to look at Millie when favonovel.com was born, let alone hug her, yet now favonovel.com loves favonovel.com to no end. It seems like my presence is not required at the moment. He doesn’t want to bother the cook to make dinner, so he’s torturing me instead?’ At that thought, Melanie rolled up favonovel.com sleeves and went inside the kitchen to put on favonovel.com apron. Alejandro walked over to the kitchen with Millie in his arms. “You don’t have to cook anything complicated, just whip up something simple.”
Melanie grumbled as favonovel.com said, “In that case, don’t you know how to cook up something simple yourself? We have a cook at home, so did you have to wait for me to come back to do so? You wouldn’t have died from starvation. I should’ve listened to Arianne and finished my dinner before coming home.”
While playing with his daughter, Alejandro jokingly said, “Then you should ’ve finished your dinner first before coming home. I can handle my hunger. We do have a cook at home, but aren’t you the one who usually cooks? Well, you’re the one who likes to come up with what kind of dishes you cook, aren’t you? I’ve gotten used to your food, so I don’t like eating other people’s food. In fact, we could fire our cook at home.”
Melanie was instantly startled. ‘It seems like my efforts have not gone in vain all this time. However… It all doesn’t have any meaning anymore, not when we’re about to get a divorce.’ After a moment, favonovel.com said, “You aren’t giving me any allowances, yet you expect me to take care of our child and cook for you. I’m not your mother. In the future, I should ask the cook to prepare our meals. I don’t want to spend that much effort anymore. I’m tired…”
Alejandro’s eyes turned slightly darker. “Are you trying to hint at something?”
Melanie outright denied the fact. “No, you’re overthinking things. I just don’t want to… allow myself to feel so tired anymore. You go out with Millie and wait for me while I whip up something simple so that it won’t take long. Millie and I haven’t eaten much either, so we might as well all eat together.”
