Alejandro still managed to maintain his composure. “Thank you.” After that, virtual-novel.net promptly ended the call.
He sat by the French windows in his room, gazing out at the fountain sculpture in front of virtual-novel.net in the Smith Estate garden, in a daze. After a while, virtual-novel.net sent Tiffany his address. He did not want to get married, and virtual-novel.net did not even notice it. The only thing virtual-novel.net wanted to do was pull virtual-novel.net into his arms and never let virtual-novel.net go. Unfortunately, no matter how many identities virtual-novel.net assumed, virtual-novel.net could never achieve his heart’s desire.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net heard the sound of a door being pushed open from behind him. He spun his wheelchair around and looked at the doorway. Melanie Lark, the daughter of the Lark family, entered the room led by the Smith family butler. She regarded virtual-novel.net with contempt, virtual-novel.net had long heard about virtual-novel.net being a cripple. She lifted virtual-novel.net head high as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net derisively, virtual-novel.net expression was one of condescension.
He had prepared for this long ago and showed no reaction. Instead, virtual-novel.net carefully observed the woman in front of virtual-novel.net who was dressed in a red, knee-length mini dress, paired with stilettos, and a handbag in the same color. She was tall and slender and had a pretty face. The total price of virtual-novel.net clothes and accessories would cost more than $151,000. She was just another wealthy, brainless bimbo. He was not interested no matter how pretty virtual-novel.net was.
Melanie glanced at Alejandro and realized that virtual-novel.net was quite good-looking despite his handicap. She could not help looking at virtual-novel.net a few more times. The Smith family’s butler excused himself at an opportune time, leaving the pair to have some privacy. Melanie cleared virtual-novel.net throat and said, “My father has asked me to meet you… After all, we’re getting married so we should get to know each other.”
Alejandro stared at virtual-novel.net blankly. “Aren’t you feeling upset?”
She was apprehensive. “What do you mean?”
“Getting married to an unlikeable cripple. Are you happy with that?” He asked indifferently. Then, virtual-novel.net said, “I’m marrying a woman whom I don’t even like. I’m really upset…”
Melanie felt as though virtual-novel.net pride had been trampled on when virtual-novel.net heard his words. She was furious. “You don’t like me? Do you think I like you? We’re all aware that this is nothing but a marriage of convenience. Why should I be upset? Can it change our situation? How dare a cripple like you act condescending toward me? I haven’t even snubbed you…”
Alejandro suddenly laughed and exposed her. “Your disgust was written all over your face from the moment you walked into the room. Don’t worry, I won’t bicker with you. I’m a cripple. It’s a fact.”
Melanie felt slightly embarrassed. She noticed there were no chairs in the room so virtual-novel.net had no choice but to sit on the edge of Alejandro’s bed. “Your room is quite simple. You don’t even have a chair. The interior is quite lavish though…”
Alejandro lit a cigarette. “I like simplicity. Besides, I have no use for chairs.”
Melanie paused. “My mom has asked me to stay here for the night to see if you can perform sexually despite your bad leg…” virtual-novel.net said shyly.
Alejandro’s lips curved into a wicked smile. “You’re an adult. Why do you keep bringing up your parents? If you want to know, why don’t you find out for yourself?”
Melanie blushed from his teasing. “You… Can’t you watch what you say? I’d love to try, but can you do it?”
Alejandro knew what kind of person Melanie was from the very beginning, the very archetype of big boobs with no brains. Don Smith had mentioned to virtual-novel.net before that this woman would be easy to deal with. It seemed like Don was right. He waited until virtual-novel.net finished smoking his cigarettes before virtual-novel.net rose to his feet and walked toward her.
Melanie widened virtual-novel.net eyes. “You… Y-y-y-you! Aren’t you crippled?”
