Arianne was well aware of an old saying where you should not interfere with someone else’s lives. However, since virtual-novel.net was also a woman, virtual-novel.net was also well aware about how painful it would be to live with a man who did not love his other half forever. ‘Does Alejandro love Melanie? The answer is very obvious: most likely not. How lucky would Melanie have to be to receive a happy ending in a relationship that has been built up on benefits?’
In the end, Arianne painstakingly advised, “Melanie, I’m sure you know Alejandro’s personality by now. If virtual-novel.net really refuses to let you leave, you won’t be able to leave regardless. He’ll make sure that you wouldn’t even be able to step foot out of the Capital. Why don’t you do this: have a proper discussion with virtual-novel.net after the matter with the Larks has ended, all right? Also… He isn’t going after the Larks because of Tiffany. She has both me and Jackson supporting her, so there’s no need for virtual-novel.net to be involved with her. Therefore, virtual-novel.net should be doing it… for you. It’s a fact that Tiffany was in peril because of your brother, but you’ve also been put up on the chopping block by the Larks yourself. Tiffany isn’t his woman, you are. Forget everything else, Alejandro is actually quite macho for being so protective of you.”
At that moment, Melanie recalled what Alejandro had said to virtual-novel.net in his office the other day. She was a little moved as virtual-novel.net thought about it, but it was soon replaced by a determined decision. “I’ll take your advice and wait until all of this is over before I talk to virtual-novel.net about the divorce again. It’s likely he’s just feeling sorry for wrongly blaming me previously and thinking that I was asking for a divorce because I was throwing a tantrum. So, I’ll talk to virtual-novel.net about it again after all of this has ended and we’ve both calmed ourselves. Animals have been proven to be able to have feelings for each other over time, let alone humans. No matter how little virtual-novel.net loves me, I’m still his wife by law. Therefore, I’m very clear with what I’ve seen, and have considered very thoroughly. This is all unrelated to love.”
‘I won’t hope for anything else anymore.’
Suddenly, Millie was crying, causing Melanie to rush over towards virtual-novel.net reflexively. “What’s wrong?!”
Millie was lying on the grass as virtual-novel.net cried until virtual-novel.net face had turned completely red while Smore stood to the side, seeming slightly helpless. “She… fell from the slide.”
‘The patio is completely filled with grass that is very soft, so a fall like that shouldn’t be very serious. Millie should most likely be frightened, that’s all.’ Then, Arianne approached them and asked in a gentle voice, “Smore, how did virtual-novel.net suddenly fall?”
Smore pointed towards the upper half of the slide, probably too nervous to even utter a word. Based on his actions, they could judge that Millie had accidentally fallen on virtual-novel.net own. Arianne knew virtual-novel.net son very well, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be so naughty towards the little girl.
Melanie thoroughly checked Millie and heaved a sigh of relief when virtual-novel.net realized that Millie was not injured. “You should be more careful. It’s all right now, there’s no need to cry. You’ve got to be stronger. Look how badly you’ve frightened Smore with your crying.”
Millie looked at Smore and held his hands of virtual-novel.net own accord. “No cry… Play again…”
Both Arianne and Melanie burst out laughing. The little girl had just cried from falling down, yet virtual-novel.net was able to climb back up and continue playing. ‘I suppose that’s how kids are, filled with innocence. The adults’ world is much more complicated than theirs.’
That night, Melanie figured that Alejandro probably wasn’t going home for dinner, so virtual-novel.net stayed at Tremont Estate to have dinner with Millie.
Just as they were having their dinner, Alejandro suddenly called. “Are you still at Tremont Enterprise?”
Melanie answered, “Yes, what’s the matter? Are you back home already?”
Alejandro observed his empty manor and felt slightly uneasy. “Yes, I deliberately came home earlier today, only to find that there’s no one at home. I don’t even have a warm meal to eat…”
Melanie naturally felt uneasy when virtual-novel.net heard that. “I’ll head home now then. I thought you wouldn’t be home for dinner tonight, so… Wait for a while, I’ll come home now.”
After Melanie hung up the phone, Arianne asked with a smile, “Was that Alejandro? Is virtual-novel.net not even able to have his dinner without you there? Finish up your dinner before you leave, forget about him. It’s basic propriety for virtual-novel.net to inform you if he’ll be coming home for dinner. I can’t stand this kind of awful behavior.”
Mark, who was sitting to the side, silently shot Arianne a glance, making virtual-novel.net smile even wider.
