Chapter 131 – I’m back, so let her go
Alex pushed Melanie harshly into the room as soon as he opened the door and closed it.
He was furious, and now that he had the company, he didn’t have to pretend or play nice, especially knowing how much Grandpa liked Melanie because of her father.
"If you ever try to hurt my wife again, I will kill you," he stated coldly, causing Melanie’s eyes to widen. Alex had never been so cold to her before.
"Alex, it’s me. I’m the one you love, and I’m back, so let her go," she said seriously, though afraid. Alex laughed, but his eyes carried a glint of pain.
"Let her go? What did you tell me when you heard about the accident?"
Melanie’s head lowered in embarrassment, but she soon regained herself. "Alex, there was so much pressure on me. Dad’s health hasn’t been good."
There were many others like Melanie in Alex’s life. They left before getting to know much about him, and when the time came, they wouldn’t give him a breathing space.
However, his time of being a cripple saved him from all these, and just as he showed his true self, things were returning to the way they used to be, even with the marriage title.
Alex laughed again, but it didn’t reach his eyes. Melanie thought he was the same as before, not knowing this man had been through the fire.
"Your dad? Or your husband?" he asked directly, having investigated her years ago upon his return. Shame covered Melanie’s eyes once again, but she gained the right nerves to defend herself.
"You disappeared without a trace, Alex. Not even grandpa knew where you were, so how could you blame me?"
