Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1798

“I heard you, Arianne. I’ll talk to him about this with my attitude in check. Then, later, I’ll be eating with you and Tiffany at Teo’s place. I don’t give a damn about what he thinks. I’m gonna go there with my head held high, and I’m gonna let him know myself!”

Just like that, Melanie terminated their call, leaving Arianne with her mind dancing on pins and needles. What had she done? She was the one who brought this up, which meant that if a heated altercation between Melanie and Alejandro broke out, part of it was on her.

Meanwhile, Melanie wasted not a minute more before driving all the way to Alejandro’s office. Despite it being a weekend, he was working overtime again. The man was renowned for being doggedly focused on his work, which likely stemmed from his troubled life experience in the past.

I mean, get real! All this time being with him has never brought me a single day of genuine joy, either. We’ve always been stuck trying to tolerate each other’s existence, haven’t we? So, why waste time and effort in being considerate of this annoying other half, amirite?

“Oh, and by the way? Tell him that if I found out he’s gone looking for a fight with Teo one more time, he can flush this marriage down the toilet. I wouldn’t stay until a hundred days have passed… Hell, I wouldn’t stay for even a goddamned day!”

Jett was so shocked by the attitude in her words that he instantly broke into a cold sweat. “M-Madam! It isn’t like that at all! It’s n-nothing like what you’ve imagined. Please, calm down for a bit—”
