Melanie suddenly laughed. “It’s fine, I understand what you meant. We… haven’t gotten a divorce. The divorce papers have been signed, but wp4webnovel.com ended up tearing them apart afterward. He seemed to have changed his mind when wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com wouldn’t let me off the hook even if wp4webnovel.com found out that it was my brother who’d done it.”
Tiffany patted wp4webnovel.com chest as wp4webnovel.com heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s impossible! I think you should’ve told wp4webnovel.com the truth long ago. Alejandro isn’t that kind of person, wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com is long but buried in the past, so there’s no way wp4webnovel.com would seek revenge on my behalf! Although he’s now become Alejandro Smith, I still vaguely understand his temper from when wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com felt when wp4webnovel.com first got married to Alejandro, then wp4webnovel.com recalled how sad and devastated wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com had fallen for wp4webnovel.com as well. She thought that Alejandro would be able to develop feelings for wp4webnovel.com as time passed, but wp4webnovel.com had not expected for it to end up becoming a habit for wp4webnovel.com to exist in his life. ‘Alejandro probably meant that wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com did not hear a word from Melanie, who finally regained wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com out to play.”
After hanging up the phone, Melanie walked towards the window in wp4webnovel.com bedroom to look downstairs. ‘The guards at Alejandro’s manor have not retreated, so wp4webnovel.com must still have his guard up around me. So, I can neither get wp4webnovel.com to agree to a divorce, nor can I just walk off on my own.’
‘When I first rushed towards wp4webnovel.com 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 wp4webnovel.com wanted to go out for a walk. The guards allowed wp4webnovel.com to leave after asking for Alejandro’s permission. However, they still drove Melanie instead of allowing wp4webnovel.com to travel on wp4webnovel.com own.
Melanie requested for the guards to drive wp4webnovel.com to Tremont Estate. When wp4webnovel.com entered, the guards, unexpectedly, did not follow her.
