Semua Bab A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Bab 1331 - Bab 1340

Alejandro drew out a long breath. “I know, alright? But why must Melanie pick a fight with me over a woman I can never have, huh? Sure, it might have been my plan to take back Tiffany for myself, no matter the cost or sacrifice. But I see it so clearly now: everything is moving away and apart. Everything’s developing toward an impossibility. That old scum had cut off my options even before he died, forcing me into this marriage and having a child I didn’t want, and then using them and other things to bind me from doing what I want. Even after death, he traps me with the shares of the company, and now, I can’t cut my ties with the Larks even if I wanted to!” he ranted. “Had it not been for that old bastard, Tiffany and Jackson would not have married! They wouldn’t have a child! And I wouldn’t have been stuck with Melanie! Christ, thanks to him, I’m now trapped into the role of Alejandro Smith…”Jett was surprised to hear something resembling resignation in Alejandro’s diatribe. “Mr. Sm

Alejandro understood Mark immediately and chuckled in response. “O-ho, all I know is that Arianne isn’t in the Capital for the time being. Why is the pot, who also spies on me regularly, so mad at the kettle?”He was not wrong. Both Mark and Alejandro had their eyes on each other’s every movement at all times. Mark was not in the mood to refute him or continue giving him attention, so he turned to the document in his hand.Unfortunately, Baby Melissa’s incessant bawls were so shrill and grating that it became a challenge just to stay focused. Frustrated, Mark looked up and snapped, “Can you shut your kid up? I can’t believe someone like you could live long enough to become a father. It’s like God wasn’t watching the world at all!”Alejandro frowned. “Wow, do you kiss your wife with that mouth? What, I can’t be a father too? Even if I don’t deserve to be one, well, I am one now; what are you gonna do about that? Besides, you’re just as ill-deserving of fatherhood, yet here you are!”

Melanie’s eyes brimmed with tears. “I know, I can feel it. That’s why I can’t seem to hate you. But he can’t forget you. What can I do? I knew when he risked his life to save you that I’d lost. Grandfather has passed away anyway, so I’m not afraid of saying this. It was grandfather—he tried to kill you. Grandfather hoped that Alejandro would dedicate himself to me and support the Smith. He was worried that you might become an obstacle, so that’s why he made that decision. At the time, I was the only one who knew about this, aside from grandfather. I didn’t want you to be hurt because of this, and Alejandro would be affected too so I told him about it. I didn’t expect that he would risk everything just to save you… I took care of him, whose legs were inconvenienced by that accident, for so long after that accident, but I was hurting the entire time because it was all for you…”Tiffany felt upset. She was completely unaware of this. She was moved when she found out that Alejandro had ri

Melanie left after receiving his reply.Jett and Alejandro stared blankly at each other when she left, obviously sharing the same thought—Melanie had most likely taken the wrong medication today. Jett cleared his throat. “Maybe she has cleared her head and isn’t depressed anymore. It’s good. Women tend to have a habit of doing that. They can change their minds faster than flipping the page of a book.”“Is your wife like that too?” Alejandro asked apprehensively. “How have you managed to stay sane?” “She isn’t,” Jett answered with a straight face. “Tanya’s pretty good. She has a great personality and has never sulked at me. We’ve never even had a fight.”Alejandro curled his lips. “Alright, stop boasting. I don’t want much from Melanie, as long as she doesn’t start a fight with me for no good reason. I can’t stand it when women nitpick, like they have nothing better to do. One more thing, you can go straight home after dropping me off at the manor from now on. Things are different

Alejandro drew a quick, shallow breath before proclaiming, “You’re overthinking. It doesn’t matter if I did it as Alejandro Smith or Ethan Connor; I am me. I am the one who married you, and I’m the one who fathered our daughter. In similar veins, our marriage is true.”It was the first time Melanie ever felt assured. If he was not going to abandon her, then perhaps all she needed was time to win the rest of him.…Despite planning for a week-long break, Arianne departed home on the fifth day.She initially thought of resolving as much café-related work as she could within this week, but she missed Smore more and more terribly as time passed. In the end, she decided to hand the job to Naya since she was free enough to watch the café’s renovation during the day.Arianne had already finalized the café’s renovation plan and addressed all of its finer details, so all Naya had to do was stick to it.It was already the wee hours by the time Arianne reached the Tremont Estate.
