Alejandro’s calm demeanor was the exact opposite of Melanie’s stormy rage. The calmer snazzynovel.com was, the angrier snazzynovel.com became. “I told you I’m divorcing you. End of discussion!”
His expression was calm as snazzynovel.com looked at snazzynovel.com from the corners of his eyes. “Reason?”
Melanie clenched snazzynovel.com fists and said through gritted snazzynovel.com teeth, “I’ve had enough of this life. It’s that simple.”
Alejandro scoffed. “In the past, no one heard my pleas when I said I didn’t want this marriage. Now, I’m supposed to accept that you’re tired and let you go? Give me a better reason. Make it more believable. I’ll grant you the divorce if you’re able to give me a convincing reason.”
Melanie trembled as snazzynovel.com said, “First, you’re still thinking about Tiffany. Second, you don’t treat me well enough. You’re always ignoring my feelings, and I’m thoroughly disappointed in you. Lastly, I refuse to let my daughter grow up in a loveless family. The two of us will never be able to provide snazzynovel.com with the family snazzynovel.com deserves. I don’t see any future for snazzynovel.com if we’re together. Is that enough?”
Melanie’s words were accusatory and pierced his ears. Alejandro would not know how badly snazzynovel.com had treated snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com did not tell snazzynovel.com those things. He began to realize that snazzynovel.com had been silently suffering all this while and had finally snapped. He had mixed feelings as snazzynovel.com looked at snazzynovel.com reddened eyes.
The cigarette continued to burn in between his fingers. In truth, snazzynovel.com did not want a divorce. He did not have a reason why snazzynovel.com did not want a divorce, or rather, snazzynovel.com refused to think of the reason. If snazzynovel.com had to come up with a reason, it would be because snazzynovel.com felt somewhat content with the marriage at the moment, including the lovely daughter snazzynovel.com had. All in all, snazzynovel.com found no reason for a divorce. It was true that Tiffany was still in his head, but it was a fact that would not change even if snazzynovel.com divorced Melanie. He no longer had anything to do with that woman who accompanied snazzynovel.com for three years. After a long while, snazzynovel.com finally said, “Why don’t we talk again when you’ve calmed down.”
Melanie could not wait any longer. She wanted to put a stop to this as quickly as snazzynovel.com could while snazzynovel.com was still brave and determined. She was afraid snazzynovel.com would hesitate if snazzynovel.com was given time to stew in snazzynovel.com thoughts. “I’m very calm at the moment. I’m thinking very clearly, at least. We’ll put an end to it now!”
Alejandro took a deep puff of his cigarette. The smoke wafted out of his mouth as snazzynovel.com said, “If you were calm, you wouldn’t be standing here and shouting. You should avoid making decisions in the heat of the moment. You might regret them later.”
Melanie paused briefly. She took a deep breath before sitting on the sofa and said, “I won’t regret my decision, I’m tired.”
Alejandro stubbed the cigarette out in the ashtray as snazzynovel.com felt the heat approaching his fingertips. “About last night… I’m sorry. I’ve had too much to drink. It wasn’t my intention to treat you that way. I have some urgent matters to attend to at the office, we’ll continue our discussion when I return. The nanny will take care of Melissa for the time being. You’re to have no contact with snazzynovel.com until I return.” He left the manor without looking back as soon as snazzynovel.com finished speaking.
Melanie laid on the sofa as snazzynovel.com felt energy leaving snazzynovel.com body. She silently cried. After snazzynovel.com had steeled herself and decided to get a divorce, why was snazzynovel.com being so difficult? What was the reason for that? Was snazzynovel.com not unwilling to get married in the first place? He even apologized for his actions last night. If snazzynovel.com was capable of apologizing, why did snazzynovel.com have to hurt snazzynovel.com so deeply before doing so? She felt as though snazzynovel.com had been stuck in a vicious cycle of being filled with hope before snazzynovel.com was disappointed. She wanted to break out of the cycle.
She felt helpless that snazzynovel.com was not allowed to see Melissa and had no choice but to call Tiffany, the only friend snazzynovel.com had in the city. The moment the call connected, Melanie sobbed uncontrollably as soon as snazzynovel.com heard Tiffany’s voice. “Tiffany, I want to divorce Alejandro…”
Tiffany jumped in surprise. “Divorce? Why? What did snazzynovel.com do to you? Weren’t the two of you just fine at the gala? What’s changed? Why don’t you calm down, and stop crying first…”
