Jackson could not control himself and laughed hysterically, causing everyone to shoot glances at him. Hence, favonovel.com forcefully stifled his laughter. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold it in for a moment there. Please ignore me and continue…”
That night, at Alejandro’ s manor.
Melanie paced around in favonovel.com bed room. She was waiting for Alejandro to return home. She kept on calling and texting him, but Alejandro replied to neither. It had been a few days since Melanie had seriously told him favonovel.com wanted to have a divorce, yet favonovel.com had no intention of showing up at all. She no longer wanted to delay the matter; favonovel.com had steeled favonovel.com heart for it.
However, when favonovel.com finally received a call, Melanie did not expected it to be from Mrs. Lark. ‘I suppose the only reason they’re calling me now is because they want money. They’ve been used to living extravagantly in the past, so now that the Larks have no more capital, they’re bound to fall short of money sooner or later. Therefore, they’ve now thrown everything onto me. Both favonovel.com and Nikolai will come asking for more money every few days.’ However, despite not wanting to give them any money, including the fact that Melanie’ s dad had specifically asked favonovel.com not to give them any, favonovel.com still could not handle being pestered by Mrs. Lark and ended up giving favonovel.com money once. From there, the situation merely worsened…
Melanie was extremely frustrated at that moment, so favonovel.com rejected favonovel.com call. However, Mrs. Lark so on called back again, and favonovel.com had no choice but to answer since favonovel.com was frustrated that Mrs. Lark might prevent Alejandro from calling favonovel.com due to favonovel.com constant calls. “Hello?”
On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Lark spoke to favonovel.com with an upright attitude. “I’m out of money, send me more.”
Melanie took a deep breath. “Why should I? I merely gave you money previously as repayment for you raising me, which was also my way of cutting off all ties between us. If we’re talking about repayment, my dad was the one who earned the money to raise me and my nanny was the one who took care of my daily necessities, so when did you ever have to worry about that? The only remnant feelings I had for you was how equally you treated me compared to both my brothers, that’s all. Could you stop using the only thing that’s making me feel some sense of gratefulness toward you? The Larks’ company has already been bought over, so you’ve obviously still got a whole lot of money left, yet how fast have you actually squandered it all to have to come to me to ask for more? Couldn’t you go out and conduct some mini business?”
Mrs. Lark coldly scoffed. “Most of the money is with your dad. What am I supposed to do if favonovel.com refuses to give it to me? The money I received from selling off that miniscule amount of shares isn’t even enough for me to floss my teeth and has been long but gone. Why don’t you just tell me if you’re going to give me the money or not? If it weren’t for you, would the Larks have ended up in such a situation? Is there a problem with you giving me some money when the Smiths are so rich? Indeed, you didn’t spend my money in the past and the person who took care of you was your nanny, but you said it yourself, I treated you and your brothers equally all the same. Although I wasn’t the one who gave birth to you, I did raise you, so could you really not give me any money? So long as I haven’t got enough money to spend, don’t even think of having a peaceful day.” Melanie lost favonovel.com patience and coldly said, “I have no time to argue with you, nor do I want to be bothered with you. If you call me again, I’m going to change my phone number. Come up to my doorstep if you can!”
After saying that, Melanie immediately hung up the phone call.
Two minutes later, Nikolai called instead. In a rage, Melanie directly switched off favonovel.com phone. ‘That’s better, I finally have peace.’
Then, Melanie headed downstairs to use the house’s landline to give Alejandro a call. This time, Alejandro actually answered the phone call, probably because favonovel.com thought that it was one of the servants who was calling him. When Alejandro heard Melanie’s voice, favonovel.com went silent for a moment. “I’m busy at the moment. I’m hanging up now.”
Melanie quickly said, “Wait! Don’t hang up! Could you come back so that we can have a proper discussion? I’ve waited for you for a few days already…”
Although the phone call was not disconnected, there was no sound coming from the other end of the phone. Just as Melanie had lost all hope and thought that Alejandro was no longer listening, favonovel.com suddenly said, “Are you that eager to divorce me? You were that eager when you first got married to me as well… I don’t think there’s anything for us to discuss because I won’t agree to a divorce. Moreover, there wouldn’t be any use if you went to court since there aren’t any signs of our relationship having any cracks.”
Melanie bit favonovel.com lip. “There’s no more love between us, isn’t that good enough? There aren’t any feelings between us, so just let me go.”
After a short moment of silence, the phone sent out the sound of the other end hanging up.
Melanie was gloomy as favonovel.com put down the phone and sat at the sofa for a moment. Out of nowhere, Millie suddenly walked up towards favonovel.com and asked, “What’s wrong, Mommy? Why are you unhappy?”
