Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1736

It was nothing like she expected.

Alejandro sat by his bedside as he looked over at Melissa playing atop of the rug, wearing his softest expression. Toys were scattered everywhere in no discernible order.

Melanie suspected she was looking at the calm before the storm. She stepped forward, picked up the toys, and put them away. “Millie, don’t scatter your toys like that.”

Melissa froze when Melanie’s voice was within earshot. Then, she hurled herself into her mother’s arms, overjoyed, her glistening doe-eyes overflowing with glimmering tears. “Mommy!”

Melanie carried the young girl in her arms, her heart aching. But when her eyes linked with Alejandro’s penetrant own, she willed every emotion leaking out of her to diffuse. She summoned the nanny to take Melissa away, though it took Melanie quite some time to mollify the child before she agreed to waiting for her mother downstairs.

Melanie waited until there were just the two of them in the room before asking, “What do you want? Can’t believe you made Jett lie about Millie being sick.”

Instead of answering, Alejandro grabbed a piece of document lying nearby and ripped it into shreds right in front of her very baffled eyes. It was by recognizing the pieces that made up her signature and thumbprint when she realized it was their divorce agreement.

He had ripped their divorce agreement apart!

Melanie looked at him, bamboozled. “What are you—”

He stood and approached her before she could finish, “Why didn’t you tell me the truth? You’re a member of the Smith family—and how dare those schmucks from the Lark family think they could use one of my people as their scapegoat! They had the balls to do it, huh? Then on what right do they have to pass the buck to you alone, while you do as they asked? What are you, a moron?”
