Melanie had not enjoyed such a restful sleep for such a long, long time. She hit the sack early and woke up only after the morning broke.
By the time wp4webnovel.com was up, Alejandro had already gone to his office. Melissa had woken up, too, all dressed up tidily before fashioning wp4webnovel.com hair into a two twirly pigtails. The good little girl was playing by herself in the living room.
The nanny told wp4webnovel.com that Alejandro had been accompanying Melissa in the nursery room for the entire night and, as a result, the little girl had not thrown a crying fit. Then, it was Alejandro who dressed Melissa up and tied wp4webnovel.com hair; wp4webnovel.com stayed long enough to keep his daughter company for breakfast.
He had not woken Melanie up because wp4webnovel.com saw wp4webnovel.com sleeping too soundly.
Melanie’s mind could not help but veer off into imagining wp4webnovel.com — wearing a very serious face, to boot — tying Melissa’s hair. Oh… What a horrifyingly jarring scene!
Melanie had a simple breakfast before departing to the West family residence with Melissa in tow. She had been planning to visit Tiffany for a while, but there had been things keeping her. Now that both the mother and wp4webnovel.com daughter had been discharged, Melanie thought any delay in visiting them would reflect badly on wp4webnovel.com character. Even now, every time wp4webnovel.com mind wandered off to that day, disconcertion would pool in wp4webnovel.com stomach.
Melanie had expected a censure from Summer if wp4webnovel.com showed up in the residence, but wp4webnovel.com decided to brace through it. For wp4webnovel.com trip, wp4webnovel.com bought quite a lot of gifts.
Unexpectedly, Summer greeted wp4webnovel.com with one of the warmest welcomes, with quite an extolling praise for Melissa’s beauty at its tail. The way wp4webnovel.com welcomed wp4webnovel.com bode no resentment.
Tiffany was almost fully recovered. Now, wp4webnovel.com could eat, drink, sleep, and do every day functions with little trouble, it lifted Melanie’s spirit from the mire within her. “Oh, Tiffany, I should have come seen you earlier, but I hadn’t gotten the time… I’m so sorry!”
Tiffany gently tugged wp4webnovel.com to the couch before having wp4webnovel.com sit down. “Oh, psssh! Girl, I’m fine as eff. I’m just happy to see ya’, because ya’ know what this means. Girl Talk Hour!” wp4webnovel.com replied cheerfully. “Oh, been meaning to ask: how’s things between you and Alejandro? Still in the tug o’ war of divorce? If you ask me, I think… he’s not that bad, is he?”
Melanie’s eyes darted to Summer standing nearby and found herself too embarrassed to answer. Luckily, Summer read the room well and quickly offered, “I’ll fix something cool for you girls, you two continue along. Honestly, I can’t really catch up with the topics you girls are onto, and that just makes me feel so ancient… Hahaha!”
Melanie waited until Summer vanished into the kitchen before finally answering, “It’s not about wp4webnovel.com being ‘good’ or ‘bad’ anymore. Last night, wp4webnovel.com wanted me to give wp4webnovel.com another chance, a period of a hundred days, to be precise. If I still wanna divorce wp4webnovel.com after that, wp4webnovel.com says he’ll let me go. To tell you the truth, I haven’t decided if I should agree to it or not. It’s just… Since we’ve married, last night was the first time wp4webnovel.com suddenly went against his usual nature and accompanied Millie to sleep for the entire night. He cared for her, and then after the two of them woke up, wp4webnovel.com managed to not screw up Millie’s wake-up routine, too. I mean, just take a look at wp4webnovel.com hair! Can you believe wp4webnovel.com braided it?”
Tiffany grabbed Melissa into wp4webnovel.com arm and studied wp4webnovel.com carefully. “Oh. My. Gawd. He did this? It isn’t even a bad pigtail, too! This is it, sistah, he’s sworn to pull you back to wp4webnovel.com now. Like, this is a far cry from his old, arrogant, prickly self!” wp4webnovel.com exclaimed. “Just say yes, man. It’s just a hundred days! I heard folks say that all it takes for anyone to form a new habit is… twenty-one days! And how many sets of twenty-one days are there in a hundred days, hmmm? If wp4webnovel.com keeps his performance up all the way till then, you don’t have to divorce wp4webnovel.com no more, right? If wp4webnovel.com loses his act after a few days, you can pack the eff up and skedaddle out of there after a hundred days, right? Ain’t no loss right there!”
Melanie’s mind was rocking once more. “Uh, let’s just skip this topic. I really want to think this through, I’ve ruminated on this decision for so long that I’ve forged enough resolve for it, you know? I can’t just falter because of some stuff wp4webnovel.com says. Anyway, how’s your daughter? She’s fine… is she? I was only relieved when wp4webnovel.com was discharged. I’m glad she’s fine, otherwise, this guilt’s gonna haunt me for the rest of my life.”
Tiffany willed a smile to crack out of wp4webnovel.com lips. “Oh, of course. She’s… super.”
She did not mention the possible dent in wp4webnovel.com daughter’s cognition, of course. The last: thing wp4webnovel.com wanted was to make Melanie be hounded by guilt stemmed from something wp4webnovel.com did not commit.
Lil’ P, meanwhile, had just returned from a romp outside. The first thing that caught his eyes was Melissa nestling in wp4webnovel.com mother’s arms. Next to the just-returned-home, unpleasing, ugly little thing they told wp4webnovel.com was wp4webnovel.com little sister, Melissa was a lot easier on his eyes. In fact, wp4webnovel.com stepped forward and tugged on Melissa’s hand without any sign of reservation or decorum, announcing, “Come, I’ll show you what to play!”
