Melanie was not able to recall when virtual-novel.net had ever said that. “When did I ever say that?! Don’t you feel disgusted at having a child with someone you don’t love?! I’m grateful enough that you’ve allowed me to give birth to Millie. Stop it… Let go of me!” Alejandro let out a sigh by Melanie’s ear. “I don’t know whether it’s love or not either, but I… don’t want to leave…”
Melanie’s arms lost their strength as virtual-novel.net gave up struggling. ‘He doesn’t know if it’s love or not… But virtual-novel.net doesn’t want to leave… Can’t virtual-novel.net leave…?’
On the way home, Melanie’s head remained low as virtual-novel.net held onto Millie, afraid that someone might be able to see whatever virtual-novel.net was thinking. When virtual-novel.net recalled what had just happened in the office, virtual-novel.net still felt as if virtual-novel.net were in a dream. From the moment virtual-novel.net had left to meet Alejandro earlier, virtual-novel.net mind had been in turmoil. However, virtual-novel.net was still spacing out at that moment.
‘Alejandro’s been gloomy for the past few days, yet now he’s all smiles and seems to be in a good mood.’
Melanie asked softly, “Are you really… not going to divorce me? But I still think..”
Alejandro interrupted Melanie before virtual-novel.net was able to finish virtual-novel.net sentence and said, “There isn’t going to be a divorce, so don’t even think about it. What is there still for you to think about? The things that go inside women’s minds are like a bottomless pit. I have no energy to try and predict whatever you’re thinking, but I would like you to stop overthinking things, please.”
Melanie mustered up the courage and asked, “Didn’t you suggest divorcing me because of Tiffany’s incident?”
Alejandro remained silent for a moment. “Yes and no. I’m more annoyed by the fact that you refused to tell me the truth and made me think that it was you who harmed her. I love how you were in the past, and I despise you for playing such a cruel act. That kind of tactic is only suitable to be used by me. Relax, I will do whatever I promised you, I won’t let the Larks go down into nothingness. Lark Enterprise will also continue to operate under your supervision. I think this is a result that should satisfy us both.”
Out of everything Alejandro had just said, Melanie only caught onto the word “love”. ‘He loves how I was in the past? Does virtual-novel.net actually have love towards me?’
Melanie suddenly had the urge to ask virtual-novel.net whether virtual-novel.net had ever had feelings for virtual-novel.net since the beginning. However, the words were stuck in virtual-novel.net throat when virtual-novel.net was about to say them, either because virtual-novel.net hesitated, or virtual-novel.net was actually afraid of receiving an answer that virtual-novel.net did not want.
Soon, Tiffany had been discharged from the hospital and was transferred to the West family residence where Summer attended to virtual-novel.net with the utmost care.
Tiffany may be living a carefree life at that moment, but virtual-novel.net missed virtual-novel.net child very much, since virtual-novel.net had never laid eyes on virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net was born. Tiffany kept hoping that virtual-novel.net could bring virtual-novel.net daughter home as soon as possible, but Jackson kept on telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had to remain in the hospital under observation, since virtual-novel.net had been born prematurely.
Tiffany was well aware of Jackson’s actions towards the Larks, but there was nothing virtual-novel.net could do. ‘I know Jackson’s temper very well. Once he’s really angry, nothing will be able to stop virtual-novel.net from going off on a rampage.’
While virtual-novel.net was at the hospital, Tiffany was unable to contact Melanie. However, now that the situation had developed into such a complicated stage, Tiffany could no longer sit aside anymore, so virtual-novel.net gave Melanie a call.
The phone call connected within a short period. Tiffany carefully thought of what virtual-novel.net was going to say before virtual-novel.net asked, “Have you and Alejandro… really gotten a divorce?”
Tiffany instantly panicked after asking Melanie that question, the latter of which was unable to immediately give a reply. Tiffany was afraid that virtual-novel.net had ruined the friendship between them because of such a question. Moreover, virtual-novel.net regretted asking something that sounded like virtual-novel.net was prying into virtual-novel.net private matters the moment virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth. “I didn’t mean it like that! I’m just worried for you. I don’t want Jackson to go up against your family as well, but I can’t stop him!”
