Alejandro no longer said anything. He reached out and switched the light in the room off. He turned to the side as he lay on the bed, his back facing Melanie.
Melanie pulled the covers and got into bed as well. The bed smelled of him, arousing her. As a result, she had difficulties falling asleep. She knew he only tolerated her because of the marriage alliance between their families. Sometimes it felt like he was sincerely nice to her even if he had no feelings for her. She tentatively reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist. At least, she now had permission to get close to him.
“Don’t touch me,” Alejandro suddenly snapped icily.
Melanie stiffened. She turned her back on him, annoyed. She really did not know how long her feelings for him would last if he continued acting that way. Perhaps, it would disappear one day, and she would finally give up and leave him. All of a sudden, she felt movements from behind her. He pulled her into his arms, and before she could react, he roughly cupped her face and kissed her passionately. She widened her eyes in shock. She had only intended on cuddling, nothing else. She felt him stripping her of her nightgown and hastily grabbed his hand. “N-no…”
Alejandro’s voice was tinged with darkness, and it was hoarse as he said, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”
She was speechless. She wanted to get intimate with him, but it was physically prohibited. It was bad for the recuperation of his legs.

Tanya could not bear seeing Jett chastised so she hurriedly said, “It’s fine. It’s not like he intentionally ignored my calls. He was busy. Anyway, thank you to you and Jackson. If it weren’t for both of you, I don’t know what would’ve happened. I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Tiffany placed the fruits that she had brought on the cabinet. “There’s no need for thanks. I’m just here to check on you. Since Jett is here, I’ll take my leave. Jackson is waiting for me outside.”
Tanya lowered her eyes and nodded. Jackson probably did not want to see her. She was left with no choice yesterday. Jackson would probably ignore her if it were not for Tiffany.
