Chapter 218 A Successful Man
Chapter 218 A Successful Man
"Phew!" The hangover made Kent's head painful, but he was sober enough.
He clearly realized how much he loved Melinda in his heart.
That was a mark carved in the bone. It was too difficult to get rid of it. He tried countless ways, but he still could not escape.
"Just once, last time,"
Kent murmured to himself, as if trying to encourage himself to do something. He felt that as long as he liked Melinda, nothing else mattered.
He wanted to pursue Melinda again and bring a perfect outcome to the relationship.
For all these years, the deeds of his pursuit for Melinda could be written into a book.
Since Melinda had woken up, she was ready to go to the market with her servant, changing a set of convenient clothes. When she walked out of the room, the servant was just about to go out with her bag.
"Good morning, Mrs. Melinda. Breakfast is ready on the table." The servant was also surprised to see Melinda get up so early, and she greeted her as usual.
The reason why they were sent here by Jonas to take care of Melinda was that they were very thoughtful women. At this time, what she said and what she did had fully reflected their attitudes.
"I'll go out with you."
"The market is in a mess. You'd better take a walk in the garden downstairs if you want to go out. The air will be better with so many green trees."
The servant was stunned for a while, and then she realized that what Melinda said was the market.
She turned down her in an indirect way and made a better suggestion. After thinking for a while, Melinda also felt that she was not considerate enough.
"Okay, I'll go downstairs with you."
Melinda nodded her head. Thinking of Jonas's worry about her yesterday, she hesitated for a while and finally took her mobile phone.
At this time downstairs, most of the old people from the neighborhood played with their grandchildren in the park. After a round of walk, Melinda felt a little tired and sat on the bench to rest.
Maybe it was because she had a child, she now particularly liked to pay attention to the behaviors of those children. She even imagined that her child would act the same when he grew up.
She was expecting this baby more.
"Miss, your phone is ringing." With a football in his hand, the boy had a bright smile on his childish face. Hearing his words, Melinda came to herself, touched his head and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"Kent?" Melinda frowned with suspicion and felt a little embarrassed.
"Could it be that he thought of something else," Melinda murmured and answered the phone. Kent's voice was much clearer than before, and he was completely awake.
"Mellie, I suddenly remembered that there is an art exhibition today. Do you have time to go with me?" Kent said. He liked to do whatever the woman wanted when he chased after women. Now he felt lucky that he had the same hobbies with Melinda, so he knew clearly what to start with.
"Sorry, I can't go today, Kent." Melinda bit her lips. Thinking of what Kent said last night, she had scruples in her heart and chose to refuse, even if she wanted to watch the exhibition.
There would be plenty of opportunities later, but she had to keep a distance from Kent.
"If so, you can't refuse me next time," Kent said in disappointment, but he didn't force Melinda.
"Hum." Melinda didn't give a straight answer, because she couldn't figure out what was in Kent's mind now. But women were always sensitive, so she could see what was in Kent's mind.
It was said that a pregnant woman would become stupid for three years. Now, Melinda became smarter.
The following attacks from Kent also perfectly illustrated this point. He invited Melinda out many times, but she refused all of them.
From the beginning, she found excuses to not embarrass him, to ruthlessly refuse him. Melinda felt that her greatest mercy was that she did not let him see hope, but let him see the end directly.
Since she was in a dangerous period in the first three months, she had to stay at home and rest. The child grew up day by day. No matter how busy Jonas was, he would not be absent from her examination every time.
They seemed to be a couple, but Melinda was still reluctant to go back to the Gu's mansion.
Compared with her nourishment, Emily looked a little bit miserable. After the scandal was spread all over the public, she had been as miserable as a street rat.
How she wished her mother could not recognize her when she disguised herself and went out.
Jonas was very cruel this time. Even if she wanted to prove her innocence, she could not find a way. She was a plague in everyone's eyes and they worried that they would get involved in it.
There was always a dilapidated city behind the bustling city. The high buildings were in front of the dilapidated old city. Emily walked into the old part with a gaunt face, and finally stopped in front of a house.
She asked the detective for a long time and found that Jerry had lived here.
"Who is it?" After Emily knocked on the door for a long time, a little irritable voice came from inside, followed by the unstoppable door being opened.
The door was opened, and Emily stepped back subconsciously due to the heavy wind and rain on the rooftop.
Emily was shocked when she looked up. The man in front of her didn't look like the person he used to be. When he stood next to Jonas, he would look a mess.
His hair was in a mess with the moustache. He looked 20 years older and his clothes were wrinkled with many stains, as if they had not been washed for a long time.
"Long time no see." Emily reluctantly drew a smile, but it was inevitable that her eyes were full of disgust. Jerry glanced at her, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and blew the smoke on Emily's face.
The smell of cigarettes made her cough, and he laughed happily. "Isn't this the superstar, Emily Bai? I almost couldn't recognize you." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Emily hadn't had a good sleep since the accident. She looked haggard, with sunken cheeks. She was in the same state as Jerry.
"Yes, I've had a hard time recently, but it's just temporary."
Emily would never admit that she was abandoned by the entertainment circle and there was no chance for her to turn over. She escaped in front of others, but she began to be conceited in front of Jerry.
"Alright, hope your daydream come true as soon as possible."
Jerry sneered and was about to go back to the room, but he was stopped by Emily when closing the door.
"Cooperate with me."
"Cooperate? I'm afraid that you haven't woken up yet."
Jerry felt that he had heard some nonsense. He looked at Emily and taunted her. The last cooperation was still vivid in his mind.
Now his identity had been exposed, and he was of no use to her. Last time, Emily was betrayed by him, so it must not be out of kindness for her to cooperate with him again.
"Let's have a talk." Emily shook her wallet. Seeing that Jerry lived in such a place, Emily guessed that he must be living a bad life.
Last time, she fled away in order not to be threatened by Jonas, she gave him a certain amount of hush money. But Jonas's men were still looking for Jerry in private.
Jerry could only run about all day long without having a meal, and his money was completely swindled of.
Emily had so much money with her when coming here. Jerry hesitated.
Seeing the money, Jerry's eyes were shining with excitement. Emily was satisfied with his reaction.
Now that the matter could be solved with money, it was not a problem. Emily pushed away Jerry's hand and walked straight into the room.
There were also many take away foods which made the room smelled strange as it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. With one hand covering her nose and the other waving her hand, Emily turned her eyes to Jerry and said, "You can live in such a room as a kennel, seriously?"
She provoked Jerry on purpose so that he could choose to cooperate with her. It was simple to change the current situation as long as he had money.
Jerry's face darkened. If possible, no one would be willing to live such a life.
"Then don't come in." But even so, he was at ease. He walked to the sofa and sat down, and drank the beer.
"Are you really not going to think about it? As long as you cooperate with me, these money will be yours." Emily took the thick wad of money out of her bag and showed it to Jerry. A glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.
With these money, he would be able to get rid of these difficult days. But he was hesitant, because he thought that the reason he ended up like this was exactly because of Emily.
The past was tough but not messy.
"I didn't expect you to be so generous. You are even not moved by these money." Emily threw the money on the old wooden table, crossing her legs and trying to make herself look elegant.
But her gaunt figure made people feel horrible.
"Who knows what terrible things you want me to do?" Emily had no opinion of justice and Jerry had experienced it before.
Emily was a vicious woman.
"You probably don't know that Melinda is pregnant. It is said that Nelson happily intends to give half of his shares to the child. As long as the child is under 18 years old, these are all Jonas's,"
Emily said sarcastically, deliberately provoking Jerry. Seeing that he had changed his expression, she continued to ridicule him.
"You and Jonas are of the same father. It's fine that your grandfathet doesn't admit you. Now that Jonas has owned the business, a wife and a child, he is a successful man. But look at you, such a coward in such a small rental house."
Jerry hated most when people said he was the child of Jonas's father, and he cared most about Jonas. Most of the time, he would think that if he were Jonas, that man would take a few more looks at him, and his mother would not be depressed at the end of the day.
But all of these were just assumptions.
"You are also the child of Gu family, but you have nothing. You are living alone. How can you compare with the unborn child of Melinda?"
No one knew whether Nelson did transfer the shares to Melinda's child, but Jerry was really irritated by Emily.
