Melanie instinctively bolted downstairs when snazzynovel.com heard the car. She lunged at Alejandro when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com and grabbed his shirt. “Give my baby back to me! She’s not used to powdered milk, and snazzynovel.com cries whenever she’s away from me! Where did you take her?”
Alejandro took a breath. “Why are you always so… emotional? Can you calm down? She’s my daughter too. What can I possibly do to her? Go back to the room, calm down, and I’ll tell the nanny to bring Melissa to you. At this rate… You’ll scare the baby.”
Melanie did not notice the gentleness in his tone. She was going crazy. She was afraid that snazzynovel.com would imprison her. In fact, snazzynovel.com was doing it right now. He would not let snazzynovel.com leave, be near snazzynovel.com baby, or contact anyone. “Who’s the frightening one? You’re the most frightening one of all!”
Alejandro’s body stiffened imperceptibly. “Is that what you think of me? Fine… Since you won’t listen when I’m talking to you nicely, I don’t have to be civil. If you don’t go back into the room and wait like a normal person, then, you won’t ever see your daughter again. Your choice!” Then, snazzynovel.com walked past snazzynovel.com and stormed upstairs.
Melanie hurried after him. “What the hell do you want?”
Alejandro stopped abruptly. This was not snazzynovel.com first time asking snazzynovel.com this question. Every time snazzynovel.com did, snazzynovel.com would feel extremely annoyed. What did snazzynovel.com want? He did not want anything. Or maybe, snazzynovel.com did not know what snazzynovel.com wanted. After a few seconds of silence, snazzynovel.com icily replied, “I’m not planning anything nor do I want anything, Melanie. I’m not a cruel man. You don’t have to treat me like some terrifying monster. I… I just don’t want a f*cking divorce. Do you understand? It was my fault. Can’t we get along like we used to? If there’s anything you don’t like about me, I’ll change. Okay? I’m tired… I don’t have the energy to fight with you. If you can’t calm down, you will not be allowed to see your daughter. Think about it.”
Melanie widened snazzynovel.com eyes in shock. She could not figure snazzynovel.com out either. She remembered the shares, and snazzynovel.com eyes flashed. “Are you upset because of the split shares? If you’re still not happy with my giving my percentage of the shares to our daughter, I can transfer them back to you. I’ll give it all back to you. Will that do?” She could not think of any other reason for snazzynovel.com not wanting a divorce apart from that. Her only priority was to take snazzynovel.com daughter home — snazzynovel.com home. Everything else was secondary.
Her willingness to go this far in order to leave carved a huge hole in Alejandro’s heart. The hole grew bigger and bigger, swallowing all reason. The shares that Don Smith had left for Melanie and the baby were enough to threaten him, and yet, snazzynovel.com was willing to give up snazzynovel.com trump card just to leave him! He grabbed snazzynovel.com shoulders and stared at her. “I will not agree to a divorce, and you’ll never leave this place. Do you understand me?”
“Wh-why?” Melanie stared at snazzynovel.com fearfully and apprehensively.
He did not know how to answer this question. He released snazzynovel.com and headed back into the room.
Melanie crumpled onto the ground, gasping for air. She grabbed snazzynovel.com hair in frustration. Perhaps, snazzynovel.com should listen to snazzynovel.com and calm down. Maybe they would be able to have a peaceful conversation that way. Anyone would be frightened by the sight of snazzynovel.com now. She really wasn’t in a good place to take care of the baby at the moment.
