Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1774

Jett furrowed his eyebrows. His voice was marked with hesitance when he said, “Uh, Mr. Smith, he didn’t—”

She cut into his sentence before he could finish. “No, it’s all right. Doesn’t matter anymore.”

Jett held back any words he might have wanted to say, turned around, and left.

It was surprisingly toilsome work to remove Alejandro’s shirt from his sleeping body. Her eyes were glued to the lipstick stain on its collar, her body slumped into a defeated seat by his bedside. She gravely wanted to discuss their divorce, and for that, she braved through long, drawn-out hours waiting for him to come home. He, on the other hand, had a woman in his arm while drinking himself stupid out there.

Even a somber moment like this did not dull his mood, did it…?

Another imperceptibly long period of inertia later, Melanie washed the shirt by hand, making sure it was spotless before airing it outside. It was wet and a little warm—and not at all enough to thaw her icy heart and her determination to end this once and for all.

Melanie knew Alejandro like the back of her hand. Any drunken night would result in a very early rise in the morning due to a headache spurred by hangovers. So, she decided to sit by his bedside until the day broke. She would wait for him to get up.

Just as Melanie expected, before the clock struck seven, Alejandro’s headache woke him up. After a bleary trip to the bathroom, he finally noticed Melanie sitting by his bedside.

He halted for a second, and then asked, “Did Jett send me home?”

She nodded. “Can we talk about our divorce now? I’m being serious.”
