Melanie opened her mouth to explain herself but she could not say anything. She chose to let go of her old life, including Alessandra, her mother, and her father. She truly believed Alessandra would be in good hands with her father. "I have no excuse for staying away all this time. I won't deny that if your husband or the court had not searched for me, I would not have returned to Lockwood."
"I miss my mother. I keep thinking my mother will scream at me when I meet with her but she is too kind to be angry with. Have the two of you met each other? Your father didn't like when my parents came to visit. I had to send them away to avoid both sides arguing with each other," said Melanie.
"I met my grandmother a month ago. She thought we were communicating with each other, but my father was the one sending her letters, giving the money or toys she sent to my sister," Alessandra replied.
