Alejandro no longer said anything. He reached out and switched the light in the room off. He turned to the side as virtual-novel.net lay on the bed, his back facing Melanie.
Melanie pulled the covers and got into bed as well. The bed smelled of him, arousing her. As a result, virtual-novel.net had difficulties falling asleep. She knew virtual-novel.net only tolerated virtual-novel.net because of the marriage alliance between their families. Sometimes it felt like virtual-novel.net was sincerely nice to virtual-novel.net even if virtual-novel.net had no feelings for her. She tentatively reached out and wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around his waist. At least, virtual-novel.net now had permission to get close to him.
“Don’t touch me,” Alejandro suddenly snapped icily.
Melanie stiffened. She turned virtual-novel.net back on him, annoyed. She really did not know how long virtual-novel.net feelings for virtual-novel.net would last if virtual-novel.net continued acting that way. Perhaps, it would disappear one day, and virtual-novel.net would finally give up and leave him. All of a sudden, virtual-novel.net felt movements from behind her. He pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms, and before virtual-novel.net could react, virtual-novel.net roughly cupped virtual-novel.net face and kissed virtual-novel.net passionately. She widened virtual-novel.net eyes in shock She had only intended on cuddling, nothing else. She felt virtual-novel.net stripping virtual-novel.net of virtual-novel.net nightgown and hastily grabbed his hand. “N-no…”
Alejandro’s voice was tinged with darkness, and it was hoarse as virtual-novel.net said, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”
She was speechless. She wanted to get intimate with him, but it was physically prohibited. It was bad for the recuperation of his legs.

The next morning.
Tiffany could not stop worrying about Tanya so virtual-novel.net decided to visit virtual-novel.net in the hospital. Jackson accompanied her, but virtual-novel.net waited for virtual-novel.net in the car instead.
Tiffany opened the door and found Jett already there. She saw Tanya eating breakfast and heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re here. If I didn’t pick up the phone last night, it would’ve been a disaster.”
Jett paused for a moment before virtual-novel.net replied, “Thank you.”
Tiffany smiled wryly. “I’m not here to receive your thanks. Pregnant women require care. You should show some concern. She’s your wife, and that’s your baby. Don’t be so careless.”
Tanya could not bear seeing Jett chastised so virtual-novel.net hurriedly said, “It’s fine. It’s not like virtual-novel.net intentionally ignored my calls. He was busy. Anyway, thank you to you and Jackson. If it weren’t for both of you, I don’t know what would’ve happened. I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Tiffany placed the fruits that virtual-novel.net had brought on the cabinet. “There’s no need for thanks. I’m just here to check on you. Since Jett is here, I’ll take my leave. Jackson is waiting for me outside.”
Tanya lowered virtual-novel.net eyes and nodded. Jackson probably did not want to see her. She was left with no choice yesterday. Jackson would probably ignore virtual-novel.net if it were not for Tiffany.
