Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1114

Don Smith was so furious his face flushed red. “Would she have left if you had not angered her? Do you think that I don’t know what you’re playing? We're in this together now, and you have to listen to me even if you don’t want to!”

His words were right, though. Alejandro had some reaction, but it was sarcasm. “Do you not know why she’s left? She thinks that I’m the one that killed Lynn. The woman she had saved did not live to see the sunrise, so she thinks I’m a cruel man, that’s all. You want me to go get her and then tell her that you’re the one that killed her? Wouldn’t that ruin her image of you as a kind grandfather? Hmm?”

Don Smith was speechless, and momentarily did not reply. “Is that really all there is to it?”

Alejandro raised an eyebrow and did not say anything. Don Smith sighed. “I’ll call her.”

Very soon, the call was connected. The old man put the phone on speaker mode, and Alejandro could clearly hear Melanie’s voice, “What’s wrong, grandpa?”

Don Smith adopted his kind act again, and his voice was gentle. “Melanie, you’ve already left for quite a while now. When are you coming back? Ale’s not good with words, so he doesn’t know how to say fanciful words. I’ve just asked him and know what’s going on between the two of you. It’s all a misunderstanding. Ale had not done anything to that Lynn woman, the Smiths didn’t even lift a finger that night. I’ve checked, Lynn actually died from a fall. How would Ale do such a thing? You had already let her go. Naturally, he wouldn’t pursue the matter any further. I’ve already taught him a lesson. These sorts of cruel acts must never be done again in the future. So why don’t you come back home?”

Melanie paused for a moment before replying, “Is it really not him? But when I asked him directly, he did not deny…”

Don Smith continued to persuade her. “Of course it isn’t. Don’t you know him? He’s angry that you don’t trust him. Thus, he couldn’t be bothered to explain himself to you. I’ve given him an earful already since he has made a mistake as well, and he has admitted to it. He can’t pick you up because of his leg, so I’ll send someone to pick you up, alright?”
