Alejandro immediately lost interest after Mark left. He got up, straightened his collar, and left as well.
He returned to Smith Manor, reeking of alcohol. The silence in the manor was unsettling. He was drunk, and his mind was muddled from alcohol. He stumbled his way upstairs, calling out Melanie’s name.
Melanie was startled awake. Afraid that the baby would wake up, virtual-novel.net put on a robe and hurriedly got up to investigate. She found virtual-novel.net at the staircase, drunk beyond comprehension. She was instantly annoyed. “Why did you drink so much? You’re causing a huge ruckus in the middle of the night. Aren’t you afraid of waking the baby? Come on, I’ll help you into the room. How could you possibly feel good after having this much to drink?”
As virtual-novel.net reached out to grab his arm, virtual-novel.net suddenly straightened up and pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms. The strength in his grip was unprecedented. She stood on virtual-novel.net tiptoes, astonished and unsure if virtual-novel.net should push virtual-novel.net away or let virtual-novel.net hold her. He must have thought that virtual-novel.net was someone else. Otherwise, why would virtual-novel.net react so differently?
Just as virtual-novel.net was wading through a puddle of messy thoughts, virtual-novel.net murmured, “Are you going to leave me all of a sudden, and fall in love with someone else?”
She did not reply to virtual-novel.net and forcefully pushed virtual-novel.net away. “No. You’ve had too much to drink. Don’t push it, it’s late.”
He refused to drop the matter. He lifted his hand and grabbed virtual-novel.net chin, forcing virtual-novel.net to face him. “Are you humoring me? I’ve done so many hateful things to you, have you ever thought of leaving me?”
She was too tired to deal with a drunk man so virtual-novel.net decided to be frank. “I have. Okay? I’m waiting for you to make me give up on you completely before I take Melissa.”
He fell silent. The sudden silence was unnerving.
Melanie stared at the grim expression on his face and began to regret virtual-novel.net words. She should not have been so hasty with virtual-novel.net words. “If you’re going to continue spewing drunken words, I’m going to ignore you.”
He immediately captured virtual-novel.net lips. He carried virtual-novel.net into the bedroom and locked the door. “Aren’t you trying to give up on me? I’ll help you. I’m not Alejandro Smith. I’m not the man you wanted to marry.”
Melanie turned virtual-novel.net face away to avoid his kiss, frightened. “You’re the one who didn’t love me! Your heart still belongs to someone else, what gives you the right to do this to me?” She had discovered, since earlier, that there was more than the smell of alcohol on him. She could smell women’s perfume as well. It was not difficult to figure out where virtual-novel.net went earlier.
In the end, virtual-novel.net surrendered and stopped protesting. Tears of despair soaked the pillow under virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart turn to ash. She suddenly began to understand how Tiffany managed to resolutely give up on a three-year relationship and fall in love with Jackson. Not only did virtual-novel.net ruin Tiffany’s family, but Tiffany also had to work at maintaining their relationship. He never considered reaching the finishing line with her. Anyone would be exhausted by that. Now, virtual-novel.net felt the same way.
