Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 220 Coaxing A Child

With a spring smile on his face, Jonas walked to Vern holding Melinda in his arms. However, the smile on Melinda's face was unnatural and she was somewhat resistant to these contact.

"Come and have a look." There was a Chinese chess game in front of Vern. Melinda watched for a while and voiced out her opinions, a little nervous.

She dared not to look up at her father's eyes, feeling a little alienated.

Suddenly, her hand was clenched and she fell into a warm embrace. Jonas smiled at her and said, "Good. You're not too stupid."

"You!" Melinda didn't feel the deep love in his words. Instead, she could feel the irony. She stared at Jonas angrily, but she looked more coquettish.

Her charming look almost lured Jonas. But since Melinda's father was here, it was improper to make fun of her. Therefore, Jonas pretended to be calm, and tried to analyze the current situation based on the understanding of Melinda.

Obviously, he was more thorough than Melinda. Hearing his analysis, Vern was overjoyed. He wished he could play another round with Jonas on the spot.

"Dad, you haven't recovered yet. Please don't bother yourself anymore. I will come to visit you more with Linda." As Jonas spoke, he tightened his arms, making Melinda push hard against his chest.

But the man in front of her didn't even move a little bit, and the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Jonas didn't seize this opportunity to get closer to Melinda, he wouldn't be called Jonas.

"Okay. Then we will play it next time." Vern knew that he should take care of his own body. Since Jonas knew much, no matter what he said, he would listen to him and talk to him.

It was the first time that they got along well with each other like this since Melinda married Jonas.

"I'm good with Linda. Don't worry, Dad," Jonas answered as Vern asked about their relationship. Vern's impression of the interaction between the two was still vague. He still remembered the scene that Melinda was chasing after Jonas.

"Linda." When Jonas said this, he didn't get any response from Melinda. He looked down and found that she was absent-minded. He raised his mouth slightly and looked a little playful.

In a corner where Vern could not see, his thin lips slowly approached Melinda's neck. Noticing the quivering appearance of the woman beside him, he said jokingly, "What are you thinking about? I called you and you did not answer."

"What's wrong?" With a confused look on her face, Melinda looked at Jonas and frowned. Melinda felt something wet around her neck, and her face flushed immediately.

"Nothing." Jonas touched her head with great affection. He liked to carry her around like a obedient pet.

Melinda wanted to push Jonas away, but was stopped by the expression of her father in front of her.

Since they stopped talking about Chinese chess, Vern had other topics to talk about. It was rare to meet such a person who would make him feel comfortable. Immediately, he was reluctant to rest.

But he couldn't keep up with him and felt a little sleepy on the sofa.

"You must be very tired after a long journey at noon. Go to your room and have a rest now."

Hearing her father's words, Melinda didn't resist. Half clinging to her waist, Jonas stood up with Melinda, lowered his head, and whispered intimately to her, "You should take care of yourself now."

"Dad, I'll take Linda to her room." Vern nodded. Jonas led Melinda to her room in a domineering manner.

"I can walk myself. Let go of me." With the two's back to Vern, Melinda's face suddenly turned gloomy, and the force of her hand mercilessly slapped on the hands around her waist by Jonas.

Her belly was still flat and she didn't look pregnant. But Jonas looked at her very carefully, as if he felt that she had been pregnant for almost ten months.

Jonas was worried whether he was the person who should have antenatal anxiety disorder. But since now, he had been thinking about the future and was afraid.

"Dad is watching you from behind. If you want to make a scene, you'd better go back to your room. Good girl." Jonas didn't feel anything at all, but he grabbed her with great strength.

What's more, they were like flirting with each other. Jonas suddenly felt that what he thought was appropriate.

"Are you coaxing a child?" The word "good" from Jonas's mouth made Melinda speechless. It seemed that he was coaxing a child, and Jonas didn't utter a single word when he heard it.

Deep inside, he thought that he was no more than comforting a child. After all, Melinda was the apple of his eye.

They pushed each other and went to the bedroom. As soon as the door was closed, Melinda pushed Jonas away with full strength. Fearing that he might hurt her, Jonas did not dare to be strong.

"The servant told me that you takes a nap every day. You should take a nap now." As Jonas spoke, he took off his coat. Seeing this, Melinda was frightened and pointed at him angrily.

'Does this man really know what he is doing?'

"Why are you taking off your clothes?" Melinda had a habit of taking a noon break. She had been working in the company for a week. Now she was a little sleepy, but seeing what Jonas did, she immediately woke up.

"Take a nap, of course. Come over, Linda." Jonas put his coat on the hanger and sat down. He loosened his collar and waved to Melinda.

It looked like he was calling a pet.

Why would her sleep in the same bed with Jonas when he was awake? "If you want to sleep, you can go home. This is my bedroom," Melinda said warningly, rejecting his suggestion.

"Now that we are just acting, we need to take everything into consideration. What if Dad sees that and asks about it?" replied Jonas in a serious manner. Melinda was speechless.

She was so angry that she threw a doll out of the bed at Jonas and shouted, "Jonas, don't go too far!"

Jonas caught it easily. It was a doll in the shape of a donkey. He pinched the donkey's face and murmured, "It's really like you."

Both of them were so stupid...

Melinda thought she became clever, but Jonas thought she was getting more and more stupid, so silly that it made people feel pity for her.

"Jonas, what the hell do you want?"

Melinda was so furious that she rushed to Jonas and hit him with her fist. But she accidentally hit the table and chairs nearby, and things fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

In a hurry, Jonas went up to hold Melinda, "Are you okay?"

He was afraid that Melinda would be hurt.

"Don't touch me." Melinda dodged the touch as if it was something dirty. Jonas was frozen in place.

Outside, just when Vern closed his eyes, he heard quarrels and thuds from inside. With doubts, he walked into the bedroom.

"Jonas, we have divorced. Please stop your pestering." Melinda stared angrily at Jonas, her voice a little hoarse because of suppress.

The door was pushed in before Jonas could make any reaction. Vern came into the bedroom angrily, and his face suddenly darkened when he saw that Melinda resisted Jonas's action.

"What did you just say? Divorce?" NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Vern hoped that he misheard. Melinda sniffed and said frankly, "Yes, I have divorced him."

Since her father had heard it, there was nothing to hide. This was the thought of Melinda, but Vern did not think so, and he was agitated.

"I don't agree with your divorce at all. Melinda, you are more than twenty years old. Could you please stop acting like a child?"

Vern said seriously and forcefully. However, once he showed such an expression, Melinda would began to be afraid.

But now, seeing her father reproach her for no reason, she could clearly feel the sadness in her heart.

Why did the whole world think that she should be with Jonas just because she used to love him so much? But they didn't know how tiring it was to love Jonas.

It seemed that she had devoted all her energy on this relationship. In the end, she still looked like a drowned mouse.

"Dad, don't you want to know the reason for our divorce?" The Internet was full of news some time ago, so her father must know what had happened.

So in that case, her father also thought she was wrong? Melinda's hands and feet were as cold as ice.

Jonas didn't expect Vern's attitude to him like this. He was very happy at the moment. He went to Vern and promised, "Dad, you can rest assured. I will remarry Linda."

Now with the support of his father-in-law, Jonas believed that he would be able to regain his legal identity with Melinda as soon as possible. Immersed in joy, he did not notice that Melinda's face had become increasingly pale.

"Remarry me?" Melinda looked at Jonas coldly, and there was no emotion in her eyes. She was not the little girl who was too excited to sleep in a few days or nights after knowing that she could marry Jonas.

Through all the ups and downs of her life, she had long seen through the conflicting interests behind marriage. Marriage was not simply about love, but countless interests involved.

"Jonas, do you think the certificate is important? Do you think it's your decision to divorce and remarry me? I have no choice but to follow your orders," Melinda said with a smile, but her eyes were full of tears and she reached out to wipe them away.

"You wanted to divorce, then we divorced; you want to remarry, then remarry. Jonas, I'm not a puppet!" Seeing tears rolling down Melinda's face, Jonas was in a panic and didn't know how to comfort her.

Her eyes were so intimidating that he felt that he made a mistake to get close to her.

"Linda, I didn't mean that. I just..." Before Jonas could finish his words, he was interrupted by Melinda.

"Enough! I'm sick of those words. Please don't say them any more to make me sick, okay?"

Melinda didn't want to embarrass the two of them in front of her father, but she felt bad when she saw him standing by Jonas' side without asking anything.

Maybe it was because she was pregnant, or maybe she was too sentimental, but the feeling of fighting alone really made her want to cry.

Looking at the two most important men in her life, Melinda kept silent for a while before leaving alone.
