Melanie chuckled through her tears. “It’s… nothing. I’m just disappointed in him. He doesn’t love me and never will. I’m exhausted and have lost all will to keep going. I’m not going to change my mind, all I want is my daughter. However, Alejandro refuses to let me have her and says he wants to keep Melissa with him. I will never agree to that.”
Tiffany was slightly furious. “Relax, I know how you feel. I understand how important your child is to you since I’m a mother as well. Why don’t you talk to me to clear your head? You’ll feel better. I’m here to listen.”
The women continued chatting until Tiffany had to hang up because she had some business to attend to. Tiffany was still in the office after all.
While Tiffany was working, she kept thinking about Melanie wanting to divorce Alejandro. After she was done with her work, she mulled over it for a moment before she called Alejandro. “Are you free in the afternoon? Let’s meet up. I have something to tell you.”
On the other end, Alejandro remained silent for a few seconds before saying, “I’m available. Tell me where and when.”
...
When they arrived at the cafe, Tiffany sat down and ordered a cup of coffee for both of them. She knew what he wanted so there was no need to ask him.
Alejandro lowered his eyes when he saw Tiffany’s actions. He asked, “Why did you look for me?”
When the waiter served their coffee, Alejandro held the cup and took a sip. He began to reminisce about the past as the aroma of the coffee wafted in the air.
With the cup of coffee in his hand and Tiffany seated opposite him, he felt like he was in a dream. He imagined that they were still together and nothing had changed. However, it did not last long. He felt heartbroken when he realized he had no choice but to face the truth. With the realization, a bitter feeling welled in his heart, causing tears to well up in his eyes.
He fought back his tears to save himself from an awkward situation and forced a smile on his face. He calmly said, “Ethan Connor is dead. There’s only Alejandro Smith left in this world. Farewell, Tiffany.”
Upon saying that, Alejandro took out his wallet and left the money for the coffee before walking off. He walked off in such a hurry that he did not even look back.
