Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 114

The man was talkative and funny, which made Melinda feel comfortable. She couldn't stop laughing at his jokes.

Melinda didn't put on weight easily. She felt helpless most of the time. Moreover, she had a good appetite and couldn't stop eating.

The man picked all the scrumptious desserts and placed them next to Melinda's plate. Her mouth began to water at the mere sight of the dishes. Although Melinda had a good appetite, this was too much for her. She had already eaten a lot and her stomach would burst if she tried stuffing more food.

Melinda happily chatted with the man. Talking to him was easy and they seemed to get along well. They had a lot in common and Melinda felt that he had a charming personality. Her opinion of the man grew better with their conversation.

"You seem like a very interesting person." Melinda propped her chin on her palm and smiled at him.

The man was good looking, and from her conversation with him, Melinda could tell that he was mature. But he sometimes behaved like a child, which she felt was incredibly cute. He was affable, warm, and capable of striking a conversation with just about anyone.

"Are you always this ambiguous or is it just with me?" he asked, chuckling.

The man couldn't tell if Melinda was complimenting or teasing him.

Melinda smiled.

The man didn't try pushing her further. Melinda was glad to have met him, or else, the party would have been boring. As time passed, people began to leave. Melinda's eyes involuntarily searched for Queena and Yulia.

"It's nice to meet you. I think we should be friends. My name is Leo Liu."

He smiled and reached out his hands for Melinda to take.

"Melinda Mo." She clasped his slender hand and smiled.

Leo Liu looked at Melinda's beautiful hand and smiled in return. He immediately pulled out his phone and asked for Melinda's number.

Melinda hardly met good, interesting people, so she gave her number without hesitation.

Queena waved goodbye to her friends and was about to leave. Melinda immediately stood up as Queena didn't bother looking for her.

"I have to go now. Bye."

She smiled wryly and scurried to catch up with Queena. When Queena saw Melinda, she turned away and continued to walk.

The road was desolated and they were the only people to head back home. Yulia had managed to make a lot of friends and they were already getting ready for the next party.

Queena despised Melinda and was uncomfortable to be in the same car with her. But there was only one car to pick them up and Melinda sat on the passenger seat.

Melinda was lonely and depressed. She asked the driver to drop her at the garment store.

"Mother, I've got some work to do. You go ahead. I'll come back soon,"

Melinda said, even though she knew that Queena didn't care about where she went or what she did. Queena raised the window and asked the driver to leave, without looking at Melinda.

Melinda watched the car breeze past her. She rubbed her arms and walked into the store.

It was late at night and there was no one in the store except for the salesgirl. Her jaw dropped in shock when she saw Melinda. She felt that the dress looked perfect on her, just the way the designer wanted it to be.

It accentuated Melinda's features beautifully and Melinda seemed to add an inexplicable beauty to the dress as well.

The salesgirl inspected the dress and smiled at Melinda. "The dress looks fine. There's no damage. Let me get the item that you have mortgaged."

She returned with the limited edition watch that Melinda had mortgaged for the dress. The watch was a gift from Jonas.

Melinda would never wear the watch if it wasn't necessary.

"Thank you."

Melinda had changed into a simple shirt, pair of jeans, and a pink coat. The coat highlighted the blush on her cheeks, which made her look adorable.

Melinda walked out of the shop to hail a taxi. The air was chilly and Melinda braced herself, hoping to get a taxi soon. She stuck her hand out to stop a taxi but none of them seemed to stop.

"I'll pay twice the price, Sir. Please drop me home," she bargained to one of the drivers.

The driver's face lit up. It was a tempting offer and he couldn't refuse. "All right. It's cold outside. Get in the car."

The driver was talkative, so Melinda wasn't bored on her way home. When she was about to get down, her phone chimed with a message. Melinda checked the notification and found that someone had added her on WeChat.

"Hello, Melinda. I'm Leo Liu." His message was concise, completely in contrast to the boisterous person he was.

Melinda checked Leo Liu's picture. He was wearing a black suit and a tie, looking incredibly handsome.

Melinda quickly clicked the agreement just as the taxi stopped in front of the Gu's mansion.

"I'll get down here. How about I transfer the money to your WeChat?" she asked.

The driver took out his mobile phone and gave her the bill. Melinda transferred the money and saw that Leo Liu had already sent several texts to her.
