A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1267

Alejandro actually felt relaxed when he entered her room, unsure of the reason why. “Are you well?”

Melanie was slightly startled. “I told you, you can drop the act. There’s no one around, so must you continue the facade? I won’t snitch on you to grandpa, so you can head back tomorrow. I’m doing quite well here.”

Alejandro paid no attention to what Melanie said and summoned Jett, who brought in everything that Alejandro had bought for her. Her dressing table was soon filled with the stuff.

Melanie’s heart began to soften, but she forced herself back to maintain calm as she said, “Thank you for your kind gesture, but I refuse to accept these, as I know you aren’t giving them to me willingly.”

Jett did not want to be involved in their argument, so he left the room after placing the gifts.
