When the door opened, Tiffany saw Melanie there. It surprised both Jackson and Tiffany.
Although Jackson had never met Melanie, he had seen her on the news occasionally. That was why he could recognize her at first glance. Tiffany had seen Melanie before, so Tiffany certainly knew who she was. She then asked Melanie, “Why are you here? When did you come?”
Standing at the door, Melanie appeared graceful and elegant. She smiled and said, “I’ve been here for a short while. The security guard at the entrance was quite strict. He doesn’t remember your name, so I had no choice but to tell him your fiancé’s name. I claimed that I’m his friend. Do you mind that? My memory is not good. After searching for a long while, I only managed to find the right house. Miss Lane, I came today just to bring you some health supplements for pregnant ladies. I thought that you might be home at this hour.”
Tiffany noticed now that Melanie was holding things in her hands. She received them from her politely. “I’m so sorry for troubling you like this. You really shouldn’t trouble yourself too much about it.”
Jackson said nothing as he stood at the side. He treated that man as his love rival, but that man’s wife gifted his wife some health supplements for pregnant ladies. It was certainly quite strange.
Melanie did not have the intention to leave immediately. So naturally, Tiffany had to invite her into the villa to sit for a short while. It was certainly impudent to ask Melanie to leave there and then. Just when they had taken their seats, Melanie said, “I’m quite thirsty. Do you have fresh orange juice here?”
Jackson turned around to head to the kitchen. “I’ll go and make you some. Just chat between yourselves.”
The minute Jackson left, Melanie jumped straight to the point. “Miss Lane, how long have you known Alejandro?”
Of course, her ex-boyfriend was Ethan. She remembered distinctly that Ethan did not eat spicy food.
The topics between women were more or less on things like these. When they got to talking about these things, they became quite friendly with each other. Melanie looked toward the kitchen. She also lowered her voice. “Really? How could you remember so distinctly about your ex-boyfriend’s taste in food? That’s good. I’ll cook him mild food in the future when he’s at home. Luckily, I don’t like spicy food either. His legs… He might be like that for the rest of his life. It’s such a pity.”
Speaking of Alejandro’s legs, Tiffany was stunned. She knew that Alejandro was not truly a handicapped person, but it surprised her to see that he had concealed it from his wife—Melanie. But what she never imagined was that Melanie was just testing her.
Melanie learned a few days before the wedding ceremony that Alejandro was not truly a handicapped person. She just wanted to know whether Alejandro had told Tiffany something that secretive.
