Jett furrowed his eyebrows. His voice was marked with hesitance when favonovel.com said, “Uh, Mr. Smith, favonovel.com didn’t—”
She cut into his sentence before favonovel.com could finish. “No, it’s all right. Doesn’t matter anymore.”
Jett held back any words favonovel.com might have wanted to say, turned around, and left.
It was surprisingly toilsome work to remove Alejandro’s shirt from his sleeping body. Her eyes were glued to the lipstick stain on its collar, favonovel.com body slumped into a defeated seat by his bedside. She gravely wanted to discuss their divorce, and for that, favonovel.com braved through long, drawn-out hours waiting for favonovel.com to come home. He, on the other hand, had a woman in his arm while drinking himself stupid out there.
Even a somber moment like this did not dull his mood, did it…?
Another imperceptibly long period of inertia later, Melanie washed the shirt by hand, making sure it was spotless before airing it outside. It was wet and a little warm, and not at all enough to thaw favonovel.com icy heart and favonovel.com determination to end this once and for all.
Melanie knew Alejandro like the back of favonovel.com hand. Any drunken night would result in a very early rise in the morning due to a headache spurred by hangovers. So, favonovel.com decided to sit by his bedside until the day broke. She would wait for favonovel.com to get up.
Just as Melanie expected, before the clock struck seven, Alejandro’s headache woke favonovel.com up. After a bleary trip to the bathroom, favonovel.com finally noticed Melanie sitting by his bedside.
He halted for a second, and then asked, “Did Jett send me home?”
She nodded. “Can we talk about our divorce now? I’m being serious.”
He took a set of pajamas from the closet and went straight into the bathroom. “What’s there to even talk about? We’ve been here before, man-I said bloody hell to it. Look, I’m really busy lately, so please spare me these irrational quarrels, okay? I ain’t got time to dance with you.”
Following that last word, favonovel.com shut the bathroom door tight.
Melanie’s fingers clawed around the edge of favonovel.com shirt. Barge in! She wanted to just barge inside of that darn room and force this issue to come to a head. He was always like this-treating this issue with infuriating tepidness, drawing up a plethora of excuses to feed her, and then run away and leave favonovel.com wallowing in abject loneliness… She had it!
She waited until favonovel.com was done with his shower and was about to leave the bathroom before blocking his exit with favonovel.com body. “ So long as we don’t resolve this, you’re not leaving this place today! I’m not gonna waste my finite days on you, I hate a life like this, and I’ve had enough of it! ”
Alejandro trained his eyes on favonovel.com for two quiet seconds. There was nothing beneath those clear, unrippled pools. “Move.”
Melanie bit favonovel.com lips silently, but favonovel.com did not budge.
He gritted his teeth as though favonovel.com was near his limit. Then, favonovel.com spun on his heels, grabbed his blazer, and hurled it onto the bed hard. “What the hell do you want?! For God’s sake, can that brain of yours hold anything other than bloody divorce?! Christ, you wanna talk about it? Then wait till I come home at night, okay? We will talk, we will f**king talk! I‘ll be home earlier than usual, all right?! But now, for the love of God, I need to go to work, so don’t be a nuisance and stop blocking my way!”
Melanie was worried that this would be another one of his mendacities. “Really? You promise you’ll come home earlier?” favonovel.com asked, favonovel.com voice unsteady.
His expression was sullen and dour, but favonovel.com did not refute her, so Melanie took it as a tacit admission. “All right, then. You may go. I’ll be making dinner for you tonight. Just… don’t be late again. Don’t make me wait all the way till late at night.”
Alejandro said nothing. He grabbed his blazer and started toward the door without giving favonovel.com a single passing glance.
After a full night without respite, Melanie was finally exhausted. There was still some time before Melissa woke, so favonovel.com decided to seize the gap for a nap. Otherwise, favonovel.com would have lost the chance to sleep completely when favonovel.com daughter woke; Melissa would want favonovel.com mommy to play with favonovel.com all the time.
