Smith Manor was located a little further away so by the time Alejandro and Melanie arrived home, it was already very late.
The pair remained silent during their journey home.
Melanie was worried that Alejandro would be upset at wp4webnovel.com using the word, ‘Bro’, to Mark earlier so wp4webnovel.com was too scared to speak up. She ran straight to the bedroom as soon as they arrived home to remove wp4webnovel.com makeup.
Surprisingly, Alejandro followed wp4webnovel.com into the bedroom as well, but wp4webnovel.com ignored her. He only took his clothes off before wp4webnovel.com took a shower.
Feeling uneasy, wp4webnovel.com tried to dispel the awkwardness by saying, “Are you angry?”
Alejandro glanced at her. “Why would I be angry?”
“Because I accidentally called Mark Tremont ‘Bro’ in front of everyone,” wp4webnovel.com said, almost whispering.
“No, I’m not,” Alejandro calmly replied, “Come here.”
She got up and walked toward him. However, when wp4webnovel.com realized his intention, wp4webnovel.com paused in wp4webnovel.com steps. “I… I have to check on the baby!”
He pulled wp4webnovel.com toward wp4webnovel.com before wp4webnovel.com could turn around and leave, then, lowered his head and caught wp4webnovel.com lips.
Melanie bit his tongue… hard. She pushed wp4webnovel.com away as wp4webnovel.com winced in pain. “We can’t do it now! Calm down, I’m going to check on the baby!”
The storm in Alejandro’s gaze remained as wp4webnovel.com watched wp4webnovel.com leave in a panic. However, wp4webnovel.com did not try to force wp4webnovel.com again. That was just a moment of impulse. He had noticed how earnestly close wp4webnovel.com and Tiffany were at the party and began feeling apprehensive. Did this woman really not have a scheme up wp4webnovel.com sleeve? Could wp4webnovel.com really accept wp4webnovel.com having someone else on his mind? Was wp4webnovel.com still the bossy and spoiled Lark heiress wp4webnovel.com once knew? It was as if the only bold act wp4webnovel.com dared to do was bite his tongue a moment ago. It hurt, but wp4webnovel.com was not annoyed. It felt different.
By the time wp4webnovel.com finished showering, Melanie was still nowhere to be found in the room. He never really paid wp4webnovel.com any attention so wp4webnovel.com did not care where wp4webnovel.com went and went to bed.
After some time, the room door was gently pushed open. Melanie quietly walked toward the bed. She looked at the sleeping man and hesitantly reached wp4webnovel.com hand under the covers. After feeling around, Alejandro suddenly spoke up, “You ran away in a panic when I wanted sex, and now, you’re teasing me after I fell asleep. What are you playing at?”
Melanie pulled wp4webnovel.com hand out, panicking. “It’s not that… I can’t find my ring. I remember putting it by your pillow. Have you seen it?” It was their wedding ring. She had searched every corner of the house for it. After some thought, wp4webnovel.com realized the bed was the only place wp4webnovel.com did not search. She would not be able to sleep if wp4webnovel.com did not find it.
“I haven’t seen it,” Alejandro replied in a tone that was a mixture of impatience and exhaustion, “Can’t you look for it tomorrow? Go to bed. Stop fooling around.”
She felt disappointed. Did it really not matter to him?
Sensing wp4webnovel.com still-moving but quiet figure, Alejandro got up impatiently and turned on the lights in the room. “Fine, fine, we’ll look for it. Hurry up.”
