Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1079

Melanie refused to believe it. She had seen Alejandro unbutton Lynn’s lapels with her own eyes. “Tell me the truth. I won’t cause you any trouble. You have no need to be afraid of me.”

Lynn shook her head again. “It’s really nothing. Whatever you saw that day, it wasn’t like that. He has never touched me. He has only asked me to stay because he wants me to do something for him that involves my ties to Jackson West.”

Melanie immediately understood. “I understand. He has asked you to break Jackson and Tiffany up, hasn’t he?”

Lynn hung her head and did not say too much. She was in a wealthy man’s courtyard. The more she talked, the easier it would be to make a mistake.

Melanie silently let out a sigh of relief. At least, Lynn and Alejandro weren’t having a torrid affair. “Has he asked you to do anything lately? You don’t have to keep it from me, I just want to know. I won’t get involved. I’m nothing but a tool to grant him benefits. I have no right to meddle in his personal affairs.”

After a bout of hesitation, Lynn replied, “No, he hasn’t called on me since that day. He doesn’t really speak to me, unless he has an order. I will follow his instructions until he tells me to stop. You just just listen and avoid meddling at all. That’s a good move. It’s good to stay silent and act as Mrs. Smith.”

Melanie didn’t answer. She turned around and went back into the house. According to the weather report, it would start snowing in just a few days. The weather was particularly cold. Her legs were going to freeze soon.

After putting a fresh set of clothes on Alejandro and helping him lie down, she let out a long sigh. “You should rest. I’ll ask Jett to come in and take care of you. I’ll sleep in the guest room.” She paused then continued, “I think it is best if we… carry on acting like husband and wife on the surface. Even after your leg heals. I’ve suddenly realized that some things cannot be forced. However, I cannot choose the marriage that I want, and neither can you. Let’s just try to get by. We’ll live our own lives from now on and avoid asking too much about each other. However, we should avoid ugly quarrels too.”
