"I don't believe you," Melinda spat out.
It was hard to imagine that she had said those words to the one she deeply loved.
Jonas lost all his strength from Melinda's shocking words. She pushed Jonas away and walked away from him as he stared blankly at her direction.
Countless scenes had already happened between the two of them, but each of those times, it was him who was the one who first left. But at this moment, Jonas felt the same feeling Melinda felt when her heart was gripped by sadness.
"Jonas, there's nothing left to talk about. That's it. I've had enough," Melinda said.
Her voice was still soft, but the tone was very strong. Her words reflected how their relationship was really hard to maintain.
She was too tired.
Melinda wanted to move back to the small villa, but Nelson and Queena stopped her. "There's no reason for you to break up. You're just angry. Just let him sleep in the study. But, you can't move back."
Nelson didn't really care that the two were fighting again. He just wanted to prevent her from moving back. Melinda didn't want to tell them the real reason why she wanted to move back because she thought that Nelson and Queena might worry too much. She had to give up.
But it was obvious that Melinda and Jonas couldn't get along well.
The atmosphere during dinner was awkward. Yulia didn't dare to tell Nelson about anything.
Jonas looked at her with his cold eyes. His look was too cold and too strong.
Also, Melinda's attitude really irritated Jonas. No matter what he said, she wouldn't believe him. He pushed Emily away as soon as possible. Why didn't Melinda see that?
Sometimes, fate was really good at playing jokes. When Melinda saw Emily kiss Jonas, she didn't even bother to look at it longer.
One could say that women knew other women very well. Indeed, Emily expected Melinda to look away.
The two of them fell into a cold fight once again, and it was all because of Melinda's own ignorance. She didn't listen to anything Jonas was trying to say.
As they were about to sleep, Melinda went to the guest bedroom and left Jonas alone in their bedroom. Alone, Jonas tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep without Melinda.
Thinking of the misunderstanding was made by another person, Jonas picked up his phone and dialed Emily's number. Emily answered it in a second, full of excitement in her voice. "Jonas."
Emily couldn't believe that Jonas contacted her. But she didn't know that what Jonas would say would truly disappoint her.
"I think Melinda misunderstood everything that happened earlier today. It's you who's responsible for everything! You have to explain everything to her and clear the misunderstanding," Jonas said.
Emily wouldn't dare to refuse Jonas's request. His words were too cruel for Emily to hear.
She never thought that Jonas could be so cruel, even though he was being kind.
Emily was silent for a long time. "I'm sorry. It was my fault. I didn't expect that to happen. Trust me, I really want to explain everything to her, but I'm not in A City. I'm in a shoot and I can't go back right now," Emily said.
The truth was she was in A City. She quickly told her agent to contact the crew and accept the script that she had just pushed.
The role was casually added to the movie's plot. It wasn't a main role nor a supporting role, and of course, Emily didn't want to accept this.
Her reputation would certainly cause the people to claim that she only acted for a friendship if she acted well. But if she acted badly, she would certainly make a fool of herself.
When Jonas heard Emily's excuses, he quickly hung up the phone. He was becoming too agitated, wondering why everything that had been happening was all bad news.
Emily's eyes were full of disappointment when the phone was hung up. But she immediately turned her bitter face with a smile of mockery. She knew that a big fight happened between Melinda and Jonas.
Jonas couldn't help but feel anxious. He didn't even wanted Emily to explain it to Melinda, but he had no choice.
Bang! Jonas smashed his phone onto the wall. He pulled his hair until his scalp turned numb.
The commotion happening in Jonas's room shocked Melinda. She heard everything—poundings of the wall and things being kicked on the ground.
She knew that all the noise was just Jonas throwing tantrums. Melinda smiled and leaned against the bed, acting as if nothing happened. Her mood was lightened by a document she saw in her laptop.
The title was quite eye-catching.
A divorce agreement!
Melinda had already forgotten why she came back to the Gu family.
She didn't want to continue living like this. All she thought about was leaving.
But she wasn't strong enough. She thought about how leaving would certainly interfere with everyone's future.
Marriage and chasing love were like child's play. Marriage, divorce, and re-marrying were hovering in her mind.
The divorce agreement was the same as the last one, and she would still choose to leave without taking a single penny from this family.
She immediately sent the document to the lawyer in her studio. The lawyer was in charge of the novel area, and he had to ask a friend who was a divorce lawyer. Then they helped Melinda polish it out.
