Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 100

"You was caught in a traffic jam? Don't you have a plan about what to do? How could you make such a stupid mistake?!"

If only his grandpa could point at Jonas's head and scold him. Nelson knew that Jonas was far from the kid he used to be. He couldn't do it anymore. Nelson tapped his walking stick on the ground, trying to vent out his anger.

"I'll be more careful next time."

Even if his grandpa's words were too harsh, Jonas acknowledged his mistake. Nelson sighed helplessly. He knew that as a child grew up, there were just some things that he could no longer control.

"Mellie, he needs to have a proper lesson. Don't get angry because of him. It's not worth it."

Melinda was familiar to the sound of Nelson's words. It was as if it was the same tone she used whenever she comforted him.

"Okay, Grandpa. I'm a little tired now. I'm going back up to my room to rest for a while."

Melinda looked exhausted, so Nelson urged her to head on her way. Meanwhile, Jonas just intently looked at Melinda, as if he wanted to say something to her. However, he hesitated, and the words just got caught on his mouth.

"Grandpa, I think it's best if I stay with her,"

Yulia gingerly suggested. The atmosphere in the living room was truly awkward. They all knew that Melinda was very upset with what happened.

"Go ahead. And be mindful of you words, okay? Make sure you comfort her,"

Nelson ordered, worrying that Yulia might say something that could make Melinda feel even worse.

When Melinda was finally in her room, she ruthlessly pulled off the necklace around her neck, leaving a bright red mark on her skin. Gritting her teeth, she threw the necklace on the dresser and rubbed her neck to soothe the pain.

If Nelson wasn't there, Melinda would've definitely snapped at Jonas. How coincidental and convenient it was for Jonas to encounter Emily like that!

"Jonas, you're such an immoral scumbag!"

Melinda shouted, glaring at the necklace. Then she sat down and buried her face in her hands.

'I've already decided not to get involved with him anymore,' Melinda thought. 'I know I shouldn't be angry... But I just can't help it!'

From the looks of it, Melinda was starting expect more and more from Jonas.

Suddenly, she heard a knock at the door, and then came Yulia's voice, "Melinda, can I come in?"

"Yeah, sure," Melinda said as she patted her face, trying to calm herself down.

The moment Yulia opened the door, she scanned the room to look for Melinda. When she saw her sitting in front of the dresser, she immediately went up to her.

Melinda was surprised that Yulia would come to her at this time. Plus, she seemed to care about her a lot today. Also Yulia became friendlier to Melinda the past few days. Because of this, she couldn't help but think differently about her.

"Melinda, are you okay?"

Yulia asked with care. Taking a deep breath, Melinda stood up and went to the sofa. Yulia sat beside her, looking around the room curiously.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."

In the past, they had a lot of conflict with each other. Even if Yulia had changed, it still didn't mean that Melinda was willing to share everything with her.

"Melinda, don't be so angry. You should tell my brother about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't realize that he's made a big mistake today."

The righteous indignation was obvious in Yulia's eyes as she poured a glass of water for Melinda. A hint of sadness flashed in Melinda's eyes, and she thought that Yulia had a point—Jonas deserved an explanation.

Besides, Jonas really looked like he didn't realize where he was wrong. Even though she was still angry with him, she realized that Jonas probably didn't even do anything wrong.

Now, Melinda started to feel guilt in her heart.

"I'm sorry for what happened today. If I hadn't delayed Jonas, he wouldn't have been stuck in traffic,"

Yulia mumbled in a light voice. Just before Melinda could say something, Yulia continued, "Then again... If Jonas really cared about you, why did he go out so late?"

Blinking, Melinda couldn't help but think that Yulia had another valid point. 'That's true... Jonas doesn't care about me at all,' Melinda echoed in her heart.

If he really cared about her and her new book launch, he would do everything in his power to make sure he got there on time. That was just the way he was.

But as long as it concerned Emily, nothing else mattered more.

"It doesn't matter now. What's done is done. If he had gone out earlier, he wouldn't have been caught up in such a situation," Melinda sighed. "What about you? How are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?"

Truth was that Melinda and Jonas had plans to go out today. But then, all of a sudden, Jonas said he had something urgent to deal with. Melinda felt so stupid for falling for the trick.

"I'm fine," Yulia smiled through her teeth.

Melinda's words brought a flush to Yulia's cheeks. In a hurry, she found such an excuse to delay Jonas. As a result, everyone in the mansion knew she was menstruating.
