Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1199

Alejandro frowned at the mention of Tiffany’s name. “Stop fixating on other people’s business and take care of yourself.”

“You’re worried that I’m paying Tiffany too much attention, aren’t you?” she asked. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her. That’s not who I am. I’m just giving you an update on her condition. You’d be keeping an eye on her too, even if I kept my mouth shut, wouldn’t you?”

Alejandro didn’t deny it. It’s true, he had been paying close attention to everything about Tiffany, including her checking into the hospital to wait for her delivery. He knew all about it.

At that moment, Melanie truly felt exhausted. It was an exhaustion that stemmed from her mental state. Alejandro was like a rock, a rock that would never warm up. No matter how much she tried, she would only ever have a cold reception from him. His occasional display of warmth was simply to put on a show for outsiders.

She didn’t want to live the next half of her pregnancy in depression. After a long pause, she said, “I think I’ll go back to Ayashe tomorrow and spend the rest of my pregnancy there. I’m not used to this place.” At least, she felt more relaxed at the Larks’ home and didn’t need to constantly walk on eggshells, paying close attention to other people’s opinions and moods.

“Whatever!” Alejandro irritably snapped. “Are all women this troublesome? Whining and threatening to leave whenever something doesn’t go their way? Do you really think that will work on me?”

It may have sounded like advice, but in reality, it seemed more like a scolding.

Melanie was suddenly reminded of Alejandro’s words. Don Smith was only nice to her because she was an outsider. She was a Lark… She was nothing more than a tool for benefit in his eyes. Her feelings and opinions, none of them mattered, did they? She simply wanted to go back to her home, a place most familiar to her, while she was in this fragile state. Why wasn’t she allowed to do that?

She was close to breaking down. “Grandfather, do I look like I’m throwing a tantrum to you? I just want to spend the rest of my pregnancy in my own home. Why can’t I do that? Yes, it’s true. Alejandro and I have our conflicts. But I’ve never mentioned our quarrels to anyone in my family. I’ve been swallowing it all on my own! I’ve been putting myself in everyone else’s shoes and putting both our families into consideration. You shouldn’t think of me in that way. I’m not being impulsive. I just want to go home. That would be good for me and the baby.”
