Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 214

"Auntie Yao, I can take care of myself." Melinda was still unwilling, and she had decided that she would resign and write her script. Then she would find a nanny to take care of her.

When she said this, she avoided Queena's eyes and looked directly out of the window. Her floor was low, and she could just see the lush trees outside, and the emerald color seemed to be able to wash people's eyes.

Queena didn't get angry, but held Melinda's hand with an understanding smile, "I know what you are worried about."

Melinda's eyelashes trembled, but she did not speak. She pursed her lips into a line. There was a breeze outside the room, and the leaves were swaying. She was infatuated with what was happening outside, as if nothing had happened to her.

Therefore, she just pretended not to hear what Queena had said.

However, these tricks couldn't avoid Queena's eyes. She sighed in her heart, but here really needed a mediator.

"The things you are worried about won't happen. I know well about Jonas. He doesn't like Emily."

When Melinda heard the name of Emily, she raised her eyebrows and was unhappy. Queena knew she was right when she saw this.

All of Melinda's worries came from Emily and her uncertainty for Jonas's love to her.

"You know, because of the relationship between me and his father, he is very sensitive and resistant to love," Queena said in a low voice. Thinking of her failed marriage, she didn't know where to begin.

And the most regretful thing for all these absurd things was that she hurt Jonas. Therefore, he distanced himself from love, which caused many misunderstandings between him and Melinda.

A person would feel painful when he or she was confused with his or her own feelings.

"Linda, no matter what, let's go home. Even if it's not for your health, you have to consider for the baby. You can't bear it, can you?"

Queena said a lot, but she came to the subject. She knew very well about the mother's love for her child, and that kind of love for her child was something that an outsider could not understand.

"Auntie Yao, everyone's feelings are different. As you said, I want to protect this child, so I won't be willful either. I can take care of him."

Melinda was not cold and not distant, but her attitude was tough.

She was a typical southern beauty, very graceful, with tenderness in her eyes, even if she was angry, which made people feel sorry for her.

Melinda maintained the most basic politeness to Queena. Queena saw that she didn't like this topic, so he skipped over the topic, so that Melinda wouldn't feel bored.

Melinda was a knowledgeable woman. Even though she was quick witted, the two of them had a good conversation.

Jonas had a lot of things to deal with recently, but he would show up in the hospital on time at a fixed time. He was still in his suit and tying a tie meticulously, as if he had come from a business meeting.

Bright as his shoes were, a loud sound could be heard even if he walked lightly. He was even more attractive than the stage lamps.

"Mommy, you are here too." Just as Jonas pushed the door open, he saw his mother sitting beside the bed. He greeted her naturally, completely ignoring the uneasiness in the eyes of Melinda.

"I am accompanying Linda. Have you just got off work?" Queena was delighted when she saw her son coming. She greeted him in a warm voice.

As soon as Jonas came into the ward, he reached out to take off his tie and shirt buttons as if he was home, so as to relax his nerves of the whole day.

"It's getting late. You should go home and have a rest."

Taking a look at the customized watch in Jonas's hand, he then politely said to Queena. In fact, it was still early, but he needed to have something to get along with Melinda, so he could only send away his mother.

Queena was a reasonable woman. Seeing that Jonas had something to say to Melinda, she did not stay any longer.

"I remember that I have something to deal with at home, so I go back first. Linda, if you have anything, you can just call home and let me know."

Queena just like Nelson did, she said goodbye to her before she left. Melinda didn't feel tired of it, so after listening quietly, she nodded and saw her off.

Jonas closed the door. When he looked back, Melinda was unhappy. Obviously, she didn't welcome him.

"Linda, how are you doing today? Are you feeling better?"

He had gone through all kinds of ups and downs. In the business world, he was good at acting and hiding his emotions. At this time, Jonas completely ignored Melinda's bad expression and pretended to care about her.

Melinda had thought that since her face fell, Jonas would leave. However, he sat beside the bed, picked up the fruit in the basket professionally and cut it for her with a fruit knife.

Everything went so naturally. His wife was in the hospital, and he was busy with work during the day. And once he got off work, he came to accompany her without a break.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Melinda looked at what Jonas was doing. He cleaned the fruit carefully, placed it with a fork, wiped the water under the plate and put it next to her. Then he began to tell her the function of each fruit.

"You eat first. I'll clean the closet for you." Jonas placed the fruit plate on her hand, and started to examine the clothes in front of her wardrobe.

Melinda wanted to reject him at once, a little embarrassed. But Jonas was very calm, and even need to sort out the private items, and even a detailed inspection, even if there was anything wrong with it.

In a short while, many of her clothes were eliminated by Jonas.

"Jonas, what the hell are you doing?" Melinda looked at him in shock and she finally couldn't help shouting. Hearing her words, Jonas suddenly stopped and looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Melinda took a deep breath and told herself not to be angry. This business man lowered the average value of the people in the world, which made her sad, but she still could not bear it.

"Could you please not touch my things?" Melinda pointed at the clothes and said shyly, while Jonas suddenly laughed. It was really rare to see Melinda in such a shy look.

"You're pregnant now, so it's not convenient for you to dress it. Let me help you tidy up."

As he spoke, he began to clean up the whole ward. He went to the bed and found that the bunch of flowers was a little withered. He threw the flowers into the trash can, which made Melinda think that he did it on purpose. Within three minutes, the door was knocked open.

Those which had been thrown out of the trash bin by Jonas now had a new substitute.

"Those things are good. You don't need to throw them away,"

Melinda said helplessly. If she was not pregnant, she would certainly have a shrew to argue with Jonas.

"I'll change your clothes every three days, and flowers every day. Anything else?" said Jonas. Knowing her words were ignored, Melinda didn't say anything but to have some fruit in bed.

It was a long time before Jonas finished what he wanted. He didn't sit beside Melinda until he got ready in the washroom. Seeing that Melinda had almost finished eating, he put the fruit plate aside.

"Why did you release that video at this time?" Jonas asked as if it was a daily routine, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Melinda was glad that Jonas finally stopped. Hearing her words, his face looked bad again.

"I think you are doing the right thing. In fact, you should have protected yourself like this for a long time." Noticing that Melinda's face darkened, Jonas guessed that she must have misunderstood him, so he explained in a hurry.

Melinda used to be a forbearing woman, and he was very worried about her. Due to his limited ability, he was unable to protect her sometimes. As a result, his self-confidence always shrank by countless times in front of her.

Hearing this, Melinda's face changed a little, and she began to reflect on herself. How could she make people feel worried?

This time, not only Nelson but also Jonas agreed with her that she launched a counterattack.

"Did Mommy mention going home with you?"

Jonas asked as he touched her hair. Melinda nodded and did not say anything since she had rejected that.

Melinda looked out of the window again. The contradictory feelings inside her made her uncomfortable. She struggled to go back to the Gu's mansion, but at the same time, she admitted Jonas.

Now she just didn't want to go back with Jonas.

"Linda, we should give our child a complete family, shouldn't we?"

Jonas reached out and touched Melinda's hair. Her hair was as soft as herself, and it was comfortable to touch.

She didn't like to dye her hair and she always wore a black hair.

"The child's father and mother could be in love with each other and give him a happy family, and grandpa and grandma as well as the love and care of his great grandfather, these are what he should have." Every word Jonas said touched the softest spot in Melinda's heart.

She didn't care about her own, but she did want her child to grow up in such a happy family as those described by Jonas. It would so wonderful.

Like many people said, he won at the starting line.

Melinda didn't say anything and sat there quietly. She was deep in thought. But Jonas didn't disturb her, but quietly stood by her side. He happily fiddled with her hair.

He was somewhat addicted to it, and Melinda didn't notice the intimacy of this action of Jonas.
