Melanie suddenly laughed. “It’s fine, I understand what you meant. We… haven’t gotten a divorce. The divorce papers have been signed, but virtual-novel.net ended up tearing them apart afterward. He seemed to have changed his mind when virtual-novel.net found out that it wasn’t me who pushed you. I have no idea what’s going on in his mind. I even thought that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t let me off the hook even if virtual-novel.net found out that it was my brother who’d done it.”
Tiffany patted virtual-novel.net chest as virtual-novel.net heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s impossible! I think you should’ve told virtual-novel.net the truth long ago. Alejandro isn’t that kind of person, virtual-novel.net definitely wouldn’t have vented his anger on you if you weren’t a part of it. Furthermore, whatever that’s happened between me and virtual-novel.net is long but buried in the past, so there’s no way virtual-novel.net would seek revenge on my behalf! Although he’s now become Alejandro Smith, I still vaguely understand his temper from when virtual-novel.net was still Ethan Connor. Since the both of you aren’t divorced, then you should live together happily. I think the two of you are quite compatible with each other. He’s someone who’s extremely bad while you’re the complete opposite of him, isn’t there something to describe both of you? Oh! The both of you mutually reinforce each other!”
Melanie quietly pondered about what Tiffany had just said. ‘We are reinforcing each other mutually? This seems to be quite deep to be used to describe me and Alejandro. However, now that I think about it… I haven’t completely cast aside the idea of getting a divorce.’ Melanie recalled how happy and how glorious virtual-novel.net felt when virtual-novel.net first got married to Alejandro, then virtual-novel.net recalled how sad and devastated virtual-novel.net felt currently. ‘All of this that’s happened, aside from Alejandro not loving me, is all caused by the Larks.’
‘If things really go as Alejandro has planned, the Larks are probably going to hate me forever after he’s taken over their business and passed all of it over to me to manage. I can’t bear to have my family members scorning and insulting me everyday, but I also can’t bear to have Alejandro stay by my side as a constant reminder that our marriage is purely business, no love involved.’
Melanie was well aware that their marriage had been established for business reasons, but it was a fact that virtual-novel.net had fallen for virtual-novel.net as well. She thought that Alejandro would be able to develop feelings for virtual-novel.net as time passed, but virtual-novel.net had not expected for it to end up becoming a habit for virtual-novel.net to exist in his life. ‘Alejandro probably meant that virtual-novel.net can’t get used to not having me in his life if I were to leave, didn’t he? He’s probably used to the lifestyle where virtual-novel.net focuses on his work outside while I take care of the family at home, used to how I don’t interfere in his matters while I help virtual-novel.net take care of our daughter. However, all of this isn’t the kind of love that I want.’
‘There is a saying that love at first sight is a very rare sight to see since there are so many people in the world. However, I clearly remember that my heart skipped a beat when I first saw him. Is that why… I feel so depressed now?’
Tiffany curiously kept on saying “hello” when virtual-novel.net did not hear a word from Melanie, who finally regained virtual-novel.net senses and replied, “All right then, take good care of yourself. I’ll come and visit you when I’m available. Are you staying at the West family residence at the moment? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. Millie’s pestering me to take virtual-novel.net out to play.”
After hanging up the phone, Melanie walked towards the window in virtual-novel.net bedroom to look downstairs. ‘The guards at Alejandro’s manor have not retreated, so virtual-novel.net must still have his guard up around me. So, I can neither get virtual-novel.net to agree to a divorce, nor can I just walk off on my own.’
‘When I first rushed towards virtual-novel.net in the beginning, I never expected that I would one day think of how I could leave him. It’s actually laughable how both of us have actually ended up in this situation in the end.’
That afternoon, Melanie brought Millie along and suggested that virtual-novel.net wanted to go out for a walk. The guards allowed virtual-novel.net to leave after asking for Alejandro’s permission. However, they still drove Melanie instead of allowing virtual-novel.net to travel on virtual-novel.net own.
Melanie requested for the guards to drive virtual-novel.net to Tremont Estate. When virtual-novel.net entered, the guards, unexpectedly, did not follow her.
