Jett grabbed Melissa and handed virtual-novel.net to Alejandro before forcefully taking Melanie with virtual-novel.net and left the airport.
When they got into the car, Melanie’s face was stained with tears. “I’m divorcing you!”
Alejandro remained silent with a darkened expression as Jett drove them home. Jett broke out in cold sweat. What was happening with the couple? He knew the couple would break one day, but virtual-novel.net always thought Alejandro would be the one to leave Melanie. He did not expect the 180-degree turn. Logically, Alejandro should easily agree to the divorce since virtual-novel.net had another woman in his heart. Alejandro had unwillingly gotten married after all. Why was there a need for them to argue about getting a divorce? Could be that Don Smith had allocated money for Melanie to inherit after virtual-novel.net passed away? That was the only logical explanation virtual-novel.net could come up with.
Melanie broke down in tears and repeated virtual-novel.net words when faced with Alejandro’s silence, “Did you hear me? I want a divorce!”
Jett grew tense when virtual-novel.net saw Alejandro’s darkening expression. Who was be supposed to help if a fight broke out?
Suddenly, Alejandro said coldly, “I heard you. I’m not deaf so there’s no need for you to shout.”
Jett was stunned. He did not expect that answer from Alejandro.
Melanie calmly said, “As long as you heard me. We’ll draft up the divorce agreement when we get back. Melissa stays with me. Everything that I’ve inherited will be transferred to her. I don’t want anything!”
Jett was surprised. Now that Melanie declared that virtual-novel.net planned to transfer everything virtual-novel.net inherited to the child, virtual-novel.net would probably be granted a divorce. After all, it solved one of Alejandro’s main concerns. He really could not endure the freezing atmosphere in the car. In the end, virtual-novel.net mustered up his courage and said, “Please calm down, Madam. Why don’t both of you sit down and have a proper discussion!”
Melanie wiped off virtual-novel.net tears. “I have nothing to say to him!”
Alejandro turned his head and looked out of the window. “Well, shut up then.”
Melanie cried even harder. “I refuse to shut up! I’ve been listening to everything you said in the past because I love you and thought we might have a future together. Now that I don’t love you any longer, you’re free to do as you please!”
Alejandro reached out and massaged his glabella. “You’re going to wake Melissa up if you continue. Can I please have some peace and quiet?”
Melanie said angrily, “Give me back my daughter!”
Alejandro held onto Melissa even tighter. “Would you have been able to give birth to virtual-novel.net alone? She’s my daughter as well. What do you mean by giving virtual-novel.net back to you? I’m not snatching virtual-novel.net away from you. Didn’t you say you want a divorce? I have a condition. I’ll agree to the divorce, but Melissa stays with me. Anything else, we can discuss.”
Melissa was all Melanie wanted. Upon hearing his words, virtual-novel.net erupted in anger. “Why do you get to keep her?! How much did you think you’ve done for me since I’ve gotten pregnant? You weren’t around from the moment Iwas pregnant until virtual-novel.net was born. If grandpa didn’t force you to visit me, I believe you wouldn’t have even spent a single day with me. Therefore, why should you fight with me over the custody of our daughter? I don’t need anything else, and I don’t want anything else apart from her!”
Jett sighed in relief. He did not think Alejandro would easily agree to the divorce. It seemed like things were not as it seemed.

When they returned to the manor, Alejandro passed Melissa to the nanny. He refused to let Melanie have contact with their daughter.
Melanie was on the brink of going mad. “What are you trying to do?!”
Alejandro calmly walked to the sofa and sat down. He lit up a cigarette and said, “Nothing.”
