Jett felt helpless. It was completely normal for Melanie to feel insecure, now that virtual-novel.net no longer had Don Smith behind her. However, virtual-novel.net was telling the truth. She just wouldn’t believe him. “Ma’am, please don’t think the worst of everyone. I may be working for Mr. Smith, but I know the difference between right and wrong. Men don’t like it when women refuse to let go. That will only annoy him. Perhaps you should focus your attention on something else.”
Melanie took a deep breath. “Something else? The baby? She’s the only thing I have left. But virtual-novel.net hasn’t even touched virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net birth. Just how cold-blooded can virtual-novel.net be? So, he’s distant to the baby too, just because virtual-novel.net doesn’t love me? I’m not asking for virtual-novel.net to fall in love with me one day, but I’d be content if virtual-novel.net could be nicer to the baby… My greatest fear is that he’ll suddenly ask for a divorce. That would be my greatest humiliation!”
Jett checked his surroundings, ensured that there was no one else, then lowered his voice and said, “Madam, Mr. Smith would never do that because Don Smith segregated his shares before his death. Most of it is left to you and the baby. You’d just delivered the baby back then, which is why you’re not aware of this.”
Melanie was shocked. “Is this true? Grandfather… He left his shares to me and the baby? Why didn’t Alejandro tell me?”
Jett shook his head. “I don’t know either, but I guess virtual-novel.net thought it unnecessary. This means that virtual-novel.net has no intention of divorcing you. So, don’t worry. I’ve heard that women’s emotions are easily affected after childbirth, and you do seem a little… extreme lately. I’m telling you this to reassure you. Mr. Smith will not divorce you because breaking up the Smith fortune will not benefit him.”
Melanie felt much better after realizing this. “You should have told me sooner. As long as virtual-novel.net doesn’t consider a divorce, everything else is fine. He just doesn’t like it when I pick a fight with him, right? I won’t do it then. Go back to work, Jett. I’m going to check on the baby.”
That night at White Water Bay Villa.
Jackson returned from a dinner party to find Tiffany sitting very still on the sofa. She didn’t even turn on the lights. “What are you doing?” virtual-novel.net asked curiously. “You’re not upset with me just because I went to a dinner party, are you? Don’t worry, they were all men. There were no women.”
Tiffany lifted virtual-novel.net gaze and looked at him. “Jack, come here. I need to talk to you.”
Jackson’s heart thumped. She usually called virtual-novel.net by his full name, yet virtual-novel.net was using a nickname all of a sudden… Something must be wrong. He slowly made his way to the couch and sat down. “Talk to me. I’m ready.”
She sighed. “I met Alejandro today.”
His breath caught in his throat. “And?”
She giggled. “Don’t look so serious. I was just returning the plant. I’ve told virtual-novel.net to leave the past in the past. From now on, all I want is to live the rest of my life with my lover and my family. I’ve asked virtual-novel.net to let me go. He didn’t say much, but virtual-novel.net didn’t stop me when I left. I believe that my words were harsh enough, enough for virtual-novel.net to back off. My sentiments were very clear. This was between me and virtual-novel.net anyway, so I didn’t tell you about my meeting. Please don’t be angry.”
Jackson returned to his senses. “Okay… I’m not angry. I was just worried that something might happen to you if you met with virtual-novel.net alone. I know what virtual-novel.net wants from you, how could I not? But you did it anyway. There’s no use in getting angry now. Have you eaten? I’ve already had dinner. Didn’t I tell you to cook your own dinner or order takeout? I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply.”
