Melanie was not able to recall when she had ever said that. “When did I ever say that?! Don’t you feel disgusted at having a child with someone you don’t love?! I’m grateful enough that you’ve allowed me to give birth to Millie. Stop it… Let go of me!”
Alejandro let out a sigh by Mealnie’s ear. “I don’t know whether it’s love or not either, but I… don’t want to leave…”
Melanie’s arms lost their strength as she gave up struggling. ‘He doesn’t know if it’s love or not… But he doesn’t want to leave… Can’t he leave…?
On the way home, Melanie’s head remained low as she held onto Millie, afraid that someone might be able to see whatever she was thinking. When she recalled what had just happened in the office, she still felt as if she were in a dream. From the moment she had left to meet Alejandro earlier, her mind had been in turmoil. However, she was still spacing out at that moment.
‘Alejandro’s been gloomy for the past few days, yet now he’s all smiles and seems to be in a good mood.’
Melanie asked softly, “Are you really… not going to divorce me? But I still think…”
Alejandro interrupted Melanie before she was able to finish her sentence and said, “There isn’t going to be a divorce, so don’t even think about it. What is there still for you to think about? The things that go inside women's minds are like a bottomless pit. I have no energy to try and predict whatever you’re thinking, but I would like you to stop overthinking things, please.”
Melanie mustered up the courage and asked, “Didn’t you suggest divorcing me because of Tiffany’s incident?”
Alejandro remained silent for a moment. “Yes and no. I’m more annoyed by the fact that you refused to tell me the truth and made me think that it was you who harmed her. I love how you were in the past, and I despise you for playing such a cruel act. That kind of tactic is only suitable to be used by me. Relax, I will do whatever I promised you—I won’t let the Larks go down into nothingness. Lark Enterprise will also continue to operate under your supervision. I think this is a result that should satisfy us both.”
