All Chapters of A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Chapter 1731 - Chapter 1740

While Jett was still scrambling for the right response, Melanie shut the door in his face.He knew what his boss was like, so Jett eschewed returning to the Smith Estate right away and opted to call Alejandro instead. Hearing about Melanie’s rejection, Alejandro immediately supplied, “Tell her it’s because Millie has fallen ill—as in, super-seriously-ill. I know for sh*t she doesn’t have it in her to turn away from that. Then tell her that if she’s not coming back, I’m not taking the kid to the hospital.”That was a bit too much for a lie, was it not? At the very least, it made Jett hesitate, but not enough to make him object. Shortly after the call, he knocked on Melanie’s door again.She opened it with a face written with helplessness. “Jett, I’ve made myself very clear. I’m not going back. Unless this is regarding the divorce’s official procedures, I don’t have any reason to see Alejandro again.”Jett steeled himself. “Uh, you see… Actually, Little Miss… she’s, uh, sick. And Mr.

Over the course of the next few days, Alejandro was nowhere to be seen while Melanie was confined to her own house. She had no choice but to accompany her daughter.Moreover, more bodyguards had been hired at the Smiths’ just to keep an eye on her. Melanie did not even have to think to know that Alejandro would be going against the Larks. Moreover, with the assistance of Jackson, the Larks were not going to be able to escape the incoming calamity.However, what Melanie had not expected was for someone among the Larks to have actually remembered a “pawn” like her. Mrs. Lark’s voice was angry as she scolded her. “Melanie Lark, how could you live such a cowardly life! Alejandro is now working with the Wests to go against us Larks. Furthermore, he’s even announced so openly that the Larks have laid a hand on his woman, yet Jackson is still able to accept that, even going so far as to collaborate with him. Don’t you feel anything at all? Huh? How are you still able to watch from the sid

Melanie’s heart sank. “What would it take for you to forgive the Larks? I’ll do anything as long as you’re willing to stop.” ‘This way, I can cut off all ties with the Larks.’Alejandro lowered his head and tidied up his daughter’s hair, babbling about things that were unrelated to the topic at hand. “Her hair doesn’t seem to be very healthy. How come she didn’t inherit that from you? She doesn’t seem to be growing much with whatever she’s eating at the moment. She’s still so small…”Melanie sighed. ‘Is he trying to change the topic? Is he completely unwilling to talk about this matter at all?’ Melanie began to panic slightly. “Alejandro… Is it really impossible for us to even have a proper discussion? I don’t expect to be held above Tiffany in importance in your heart, but we’re a married couple after all, so can’t you… think in my place for once, every now and then?”Alejandro was startled for a moment, as his hands stopped. Then, he raised his head to look at her. “You’re still

Melanie suddenly laughed. “It’s fine, I understand what you meant. We… haven’t gotten a divorce. The divorce papers have been signed, but he ended up tearing them apart afterward. He seemed to have changed his mind when he found out that it wasn’t me who pushed you. I have no idea what’s going on in his mind. I even thought… that he wouldn’t let me off the hook even if he found out that it was my brother who’d done it.”Tiffany patted her chest as she heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s impossible! I think you should’ve told him the truth long ago. Alejandro isn’t that kind of person; he definitely wouldn’t have vented his anger on you if you weren’t a part of it. Furthermore, whatever that’s happened between me and him is long but buried in the past, so there’s no way he would seek revenge on my behalf! Although he’s now become Alejandro Smith, I still vaguely understand his temper from when he was still Ethan Connor. Since the both of you aren’t divorced, then you should live together

Arianne was well aware of an old saying where you should not interfere with someone else’s lives. However, since she was also a woman, she was also well aware about how painful it would be to live with a man who did not love his other half forever. ‘Does Alejandro love Melanie? The answer is very obvious: most likely not. How lucky would Melanie have to be to receive a happy ending in a relationship that has been built up on benefits?’In the end, Arianne painstakingly advised, “Melanie, I’m sure you know Alejandro’s personality by now. If he really refuses to let you leave, you won’t be able to leave regardless. He'll make sure that you wouldn’t even be able to step foot out of the Capital. Why don’t you do this: have a proper discussion with him after the matter with the Larks has ended, all right? Also… He isn’t going after the Larks because of Tiffany. She has both me and Jackson supporting her, so there’s no need for him to be involved with her. Therefore, he should be doing it…
