Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 239 Adolescent

At one glance, Jonas knew the words were written by Melinda. It was a small note with graceful handwriting but not constrained.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jonas. You should deal with the first award for you."

"Ha-ha." Looking at such childish words, Jonas couldn't help laughing. The gratification on his face made him look much softer.

The way he showed up just now had attracted a lot of women's attention, and now they all looked at him.

In an instant, Jonas calmed himself down and looked at the grilled food on the table next to him. He sat at the table indifferently without any embarrassment.

He didn't feel superior to others, even though he was not used to the dining environment here.

But as long as it was given by Melinda, he would accept it all.

Maybe, this was the second test for him. Thinking of this, Jonas felt that the food that Melinda ordered wouldn't be too strange, and it was something that he usually ate, no matter it was salty or spicy, to a point that Jonas could accept.

Melinda always had a good understanding of this sort of detail about Jonas.

Jonas ate slowly. When he had barbecue, people had the feeling that he was in a western restaurant. Jonas ate all of them.

He still wasn't used to eating outside and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, but he looked at the stall owner with expectation.

He had eaten them all and believed that the stall owner would told him that Linda have told him.

"I didn't expect you would like to eat these." The stall owner was surprised to see that Jonas had swallowed all the food on his plate.

He also misunderstood that Jonas liked such stuff.

Jonas made no explanation. He felt a little disappointed. Looking at the stall owner's appearance, he knew it was not a test.

When he returned home, there was not much time to rest. Leaning against the chair, Jonas could not help thinking what kind of test would come to him later.

But it didn't matter. No matter what happened, he would not let Linda down.

Vern had been paying close attention to Melinda's actions these days. Seeing that she had no contact with Kent, he was very gratified, but at the same time, he was a little anxious. He wondered when Melinda would be able to be with Jonas.

As her father, he could not understand why Melinda was so stubborn. But since she had been doted on by Jonas, he could not say much.

Melinda was calm, but Vern thought it was the omen of a storm.

"Jon, how are you getting on with Linda?" Vern dialed Jonas's number again. Recently, he had more contacts with his son-in-law than with Melinda.

Jonas knew that his father-in-law had always been behind him, helping him to chase after Melinda, and he was also touched.

"Dad, I've been doing well with Linda. Don't worry,"

said Jonas. After he knew the accident that Melinda and Kent were together, he cared about Melinda very much. But he would give Melinda some space.

But Vern didn't think so. He called just to remind Jonas.

"Remember to report it to me every day, understand?" Vern was a stubborn old father.

"Don't worry, dad. Linda is testing me,"

said Jonas. In fact, most of the time, Melinda's test was childish, but Jonas had been serious to deal with it, and he had been accustomed to it over time.

To his great relief, he had not made any mistakes in the past few days.

When there was no test, Jonas would think about it all the time, but when it came to the test, he did it with his inner feelings instead of considering it at all.

He just wanted to treat Melinda with infinite love.

"If you are free today, come to have dinner with me,"

Vern added. The two talked about Melinda for a while before hanging up.

Now, it was these elders who were most nervous to see Melinda test Jonas and give him the chance to get back together.

It was said that parents would live a life full of worries once they had a child. Vern interpreted it perfectly.

"Okay,"

Jonas instantly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Vern looked at the clock on the wall and called Melinda.

The weather was getting hotter. Melinda often wore loose clothes, so others did not find that she was pregnant.

Now she still went to work every day. As for her clothing, she trusted Jonas. Because of her nature of working, she was meant to deal with the computer more often.

Melinda had tried her best to write on hand, but it was impossible for her to hand the reviewing over to others.

When Vern called, she was working on the finishing up of the whole morning.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Melinda was typing the keyboard with her fingers. When the sound came to her father, he frowned immediately.

"Are you still working? What time is it now?"

Vern had suggested that Melinda should quit her job and stay at home for nourishment. She looked at the computer all day long with radiation. Moreover, it would take her a lot of energy to look at those things.

All in all, he didn't think it was a good thing.

"Oh, dad, it's time to get off work now. I'm just about to have lunch."

Melinda didn't know what her father had done recently. He bothered her so much that he looked like an old granny. What's more, he even asked her to have dinner with him every day.

"What will you eat in the canteen of your company? Is the food okay? You need nutrition now. You'd better eat less outside."

A series of words uttered by her father confused Melinda.

"Dad, it's a nice canteen, with meat and vegetables and soup. Don't worry. I won't abuse myself,"

Melinda said helplessly. She didn't have any other choice. Now, she had to take calcium pills every day to replenish her nutrition. Every time when she went to the hospital to have a check-up, she would find a way to make up for her loss as long as the doctor said something bad.

She attached great importance to this baby, so she would be careful as well.

But she was not used to the feeling of carefulness.

"People always say that canteen is bad. Only you like it," Vern said in a childish tone. He wished he could bring some food to her daughter every day, but he also knew that it would have a bad impact on her.

"Your daughter is not some spoiled rich lady. I won't be so picky about the food."

While saying, a figure's face suddenly appeared in her mind. Melinda swayed her head fiercely.

Just now, the scene that Jonas treated her like a princess flashed through her mind.

When she recalled the happy moments in the past, she felt that those things would be imprinted in her heart for a lifetime, and when she did so, the scenes began to blur.

"Well, I don't want to bother you either. Remember to go home for dinner tonight." Hearing what Vern said, Melinda hesitated for a while. Finally, she opened her mouth and said, "Dad, I'm busy today. I have a manuscript to write, which is needed tomorrow morning."

The other end of the line kept silent for a long time. Finally, the phone was hung up.

She stood there stiffly and realized that her father was angry with her.

However, Melinda didn't understand why her father suddenly controlled her as if she was an adolescent when she was going to be a mother.

This made her somewhat resist.

"Melinda, are you going downstairs for dinner?" The person next to Melinda couldn't help asking after seeing that she had been in a daze in her seat. Melinda packed her mobile phone and gave a smile as if nothing had happened.

When she was about to say something, someone knocked at the door. A deliveryman stood at the door and looked around.

"Who is Melinda? Your takeout is here." Ted looked into the office, imitating what the deliveryman did. At last, his eyes locked on Melinda.

Melinda looked a little confused. She clearly remembered that she did not order any take out. It was easy to forget things when one was pregnant, but it was not so serious as this.

"Is Miss Melinda here?" Ted looked at the bill in his hand, and called out to the crowd inside. The colleagues all looked at Melinda.

Ted breathed a sigh of relief. He went into the department and took out the takeout boxes one by one for Melinda. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"This is your takeout. Don't forget to give us a five-star high praise."

He was more professional than the deliveryman when it came to saying such words. After seeing the note on the lunch box's cover, Melinda finally knew what the takeout food was.

It was sent by Jonas, and the smell was familiar, and it seemed to be made by the servant of the Gu's mansion.

It was not easy for Jonas to buy takeout box for Melinda. In order to send a take out for her, he had asked someone to prepare it for her.

"Oh, you ordered takeout. Then I'll go downstairs now."

Her colleagues who had greeted her before said not in a very good mood. Normally, they would order meals with colleagues. However, Melinda ordered without a word and her food was so delicate.

It was understandable for people to overthink it.

However, Melinda had a rough time and was resented for no reason.

In the afternoon, Melinda was concentrating on the following draft. When her inspiration flashed, her phone rang again.

"Dad." Melinda felt a little uncomfortable. Usually, inspiration was a fleeting thing. Now that they were here, they were completely freaked out before she could catch it.

"Linda, I'm not feeling well. Can you come back now?" Vern's voice sounded very weak, as if he was trying very hard to endure pain. Hearing this, Melinda immediately panicked.

"Dad, are you all right? Don't worry. I'll be back soon."

While saying that, Melinda walked towards the leader's office in a bit of a hurry. Her father spoke ambiguously on the phone. He didn't make it clear, so Melinda felt even more anxious.
