Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1745

After that, Alejandro carried Millie outside without saying another word.

While they ate, Melanie casually asked, “How are things with the Larks?”

Alejandro answered back just as casually, “We’re currently in the midst of discussing their acquisition. They aren’t letting up at the moment, but I think they won’t be able to continue holding on much longer.”

Then, Melanie remained silent. Alejandro suddenly asked, “That’s it? I thought you would’ve said something else.”

Melanie snickered. “What else can I say? It’s their own fault that things have developed up to this stage. Even if you hadn’t stepped in, Jackson probably wouldn’t have gone easy on them either. I’m not that saintly; I can’t even say what’s going to happen to me, let alone worry about them. Moreover… Even if I begged you, you wouldn’t help the Larks anyway, so what’s there for me to say when I already know the outcome? Even if you help me defend the Larks, they’re still in the wrong, so if you go up against the Wests as well, how am I supposed to look them in the eye again? It wouldn’t be beneficial for you either.”

Alejandro suddenly said, “If you really want to defend the Larks, I will help you.”

Melanie was suddenly startled. “Why…?”

After Melanie closed the door behind her, she let out a long sigh. ‘Why did my heart still race when he said those things to me? I can’t even bring myself to look him in the eyes…

‘As long as I say it, he’ll actually protect the Larks? He wouldn’t even care if he had to go up against Jackson and Mark? Even if the Larks are wrong in the first place, he’ll turn a blind eye and help me no matter what? Why was he always so cold to me when I was so infatuated and passionately in love with him? And now when I’ve given up, he’s actually…’

By the time Melanie had coaxed Millie to sleep, Alejandro took the initiative to carry his daughter into her cot. When he returned, he directly turned off the lights.
