Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 194

Nelson was a decisive person. After being persuaded by Queena, and he also missed Melinda, he immediately asked Gavin to arrange a car for him to Melinda's apartment.

After the last dinner, Melinda felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She ate light food these two days. As a result, she was caught by Nelson on the spot.

"Why do you eat so casually? You had lost a lot of weight. Now, you are going to be skinny." Nelson's eyes were full of pity. What he said was full of his reproachful emotion.

Melinda wanted to explain, but she feared that Nelson would feel sorry for her if he knew that she had hurt her stomach because of the gathering and drinking. So she just closed her mouth, without saying anything, and listened with her head down to his awkward concern.

Nelson chattered for a while, but Melinda didn't say a word. At last, she stood aside with a glass of water in her hand.

"Grandpa, drink some water." Melinda had a deep and graceful smile, which made people want to smile with her.

Nelson had no immunity to her smile. His pretending to be serious just now disappeared in an instant.

"You naughty girl," Nelson sighed with profound resignation. Melinda helped him to sit down on the sofa, and Nelson took a sip of the water to calm himself down. When the glass of water fell, he hesitated and finally opened his mouth, "Linda, move back. No one dares to make you suffer once I can protect you."

The smile on Melinda's face suddenly froze, and then she said vaguely, "Grandpa, I live here very well."

"Jonas has realized his mistake. He... Please give each other a chance and go home." Nelson sighed deeply at the mention of Jonas. He had been lack of confidence since he tried to convince Melinda to go back home.

Melinda still didn't change her mind. She just shook her head with a smile. Nelson knew her stubbornness, so he didn't expect her to come back to the Gu's mansion.

"It has been such a long time since that happened and all the misunderstandings have been proved to be mistakes. Why don't you two sit down and have a good talk? Would you like to have a meal together?"

Nelson looked at her with hope. This was his last struggle. Although a meal could not represent anything, it at least had two people to clear up all the misunderstandings.

Instead of agreeing to his request or refusing it immediately, she thought for a long time before she nodded and said, "Okay, I will have a meal with him in peace."

They could act as if they hadn't had any difficulties in their relationship for the last several years and they could be just friends.

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that he would fail when he came here.

The restaurant was reserved by Nelson. It was a private restaurant owned by the Soaring Group, and only people from Gu's family would come to have dinner at this restaurant. If he wasn't worried about Melinda's unhappiness, he almost wanted to prepare the meal in Gu's mansion.

The interior decoration was in a pastoral style, not magnificent as people said. Led by a waiter, Melinda walked into a private room, but she did not neglect the curiosity in the waiter's eyes.

This private room was private to Nelson. And today, there came Jonas. As the person who could enter this room and let Jonas wait for her, Melinda seemed to have a magic color on herself in the waiters' eyes.

Not long after Melinda sat down, the manager opened the door and led a group of waiters to place the dishes on the wooden table.

The small round wooden table was filled with food all of a sudden. Melinda was sitting opposite to Jonas. But under the excuse of closing the door, Jonas turned around and sat next to Melinda.

"You used to like this restaurant the most, especially these dishes. Today they are cooked by the chief. Have a try."

While saying that, Jonas picked up some food with his chopsticks and put it into Melinda's bowl. Looking at the food in her bowl, Melinda found it was the food she liked.

She didn't know when he got to know her preferences. She didn't say anything and went on eating.

It was a good example to show "no speaking during the meal". Sitting aside, Jonas was anxious, but could do nothing. In the end, Melinda spoke first, "I came here today to thank you for the record you gave me in the press conference. Thank you."

With tea in hand, Melinda raised her cup and looked at Jonas with a pair of pure seductive eyes. No one dared to look into these eyes if they were guilty now.

"You don't have to thank me."

With these words, Jonas removed the glass from Melinda's hand, and held her hand. Melinda was so thin that when she drew her hand back quickly, Jonas didn't dare to hold her hand too hard as he was afraid that if he used much strength, her hand would break.

"Linda, can we go home now? We are all worried about you." 'Especially me, ' Jonas thought to himself. He could not help but recall the times when he met with Melinda and how she looked like beside Victor.

If he were not a relative of his mother, he would have dealt with him personally.

"Jonas, if you mention this again, it's pointless to eat this meal," Melinda said coldly. And Jonas stopped talking instantly.

This meal in the view of Jonas, was an important step to reduce the tension between them. It was a good progress that Melinda was willing to go out for dinner with him.

"Linda, don't get angry. I won't mention it again." Jonas was afraid that Melinda might feel uncomfortable and not be able to enjoy the meal happily, so he promised her.

"Jonas, we can be good friends," Melinda said sincerely. Lover? A couple? She couldn't stand it anymore.

"But I like you. I just want to be with you, not in a fake name like a good friend."

Jonas was stubborn to show his feelings, and he would never give up Melinda. Melinda looked sullen. "I'm going to the lady's room," said Melinda.

There was no toilet in the private room, so Melinda went to the public toilet outside. Although the private restaurant was only used to receive people from the Gu family, there were a lot of guests in the lobby, and these people were no exception, all business partners with the Gu family.

Or they could be distant relatives of the Gu family just like Victor.

Melinda stood beside the sink for a long time before she came to her senses. She warned herself that she had promised grandpa that she would be calm and have a peaceful meal.

'Melinda, don't be angry. You cannot get angry, ' Melinda repeated her words silently while rubbing her face.

She walked upstairs absentmindedly, paying no attention to the surroundings. At the sight of her, Victor thought he must be mistaken. He called her tentatively, "Melinda?"

She paused, as if she had heard someone calling her name, and until then did Victor realize that it was Melinda. He strode over, and greeted her pleasantly, "Melinda, are you having dinner here too?"

"Mr. Cheng,"

Melinda greeted. "What a coincidence. If you don't mind, you can come with me," she smiled politely.

The atmosphere with Jonas made her a little depressed. If Victor were here, perhaps it would be more comfortable, and Melinda had a little plan in her mind.

Victor had planned to invite Melinda to have a meal, but unexpectedly, she made the offer first. Victor agreed with pleasure.

However, as Melinda led the way, Victor felt confused. Although he was a distant relative, he had to know something common, in case he angered his family.

For example, the room that Melinda led him into was Nelson's.

"Here it is." Smiling, Melinda pushed the door open and walked in, and then Victor's eyes met Jonas's.

He stood there, sensing Jonas's powerful aura.

Melinda closed the door and walked to the opposite side of Jonas. She said to Victor enthusiastically, "There are not many dishes. I hope you don't mind."

The table was full of dishes, which showed that Melinda just said those out of politeness. As soon as Victor came back to his senses, he selectively ignored the existence of Jonas, and then sat down beside Melinda, paying no attention to Jonas's feelings.

Jonas's eyes became deeper and more difficult to guess, but the cold atmosphere around him was definitely not as gentle as when he was with Melinda.

"Linda, your seat is over here. I have always heard of Mr. Cheng's name. Now I finally see you. I want to have a good chat." Seeing the bright smile on Jonas's face, Melinda felt it creepy. She was taken to the seat which she sat at the beginning by Jonas before she could sit down.

Jonas sat between her and Victor.

But Victor was still calm. And they really had a chat.

They didn't share any same topic, but they were able to continue the conversation.

Melinda was shocked by this. She looked at them, but the expression on both of their faces was impeccable.

"I lost the first draft of Mel that day by accident, which freaked me out. Fortunately, I had a backup before the accident..." Victor recalled the incident that day and described his history with Melinda in a dubious tone.

"But I still have to thank Mr. Jonas. Without your recording, we would not have been so smooth." Victor was a man who liked stabbing others in the face with a smile. It was the case that Jonas had a quarrel with Melinda because of the recording, and now Victor just brought it up deliberately.

If it were in the past, Jonas would absolutely leave and people would know the consequences of provoking him later. But today because of the presence of Melinda, he had said what he had discussed earlier and embarrassed himself.

At the same time, in Emily's apartment, there were many paper on the table, on which there were various plans as the headlines, but all of them were blurred.

Emily sat at the desk with a pen in her hand, frowning. Then she threw the pen on the desk with a bang, mixed the paper and threw it into the trash can.

There was the last piece of paper on the table, with words "beauty saving the hero".
