After Melinda got back home, the scene that Victor had said to her kept flashing through her mind. He was reasonable, but it was really difficult for her to do that.
Even if she had been forcing herself to ignore Jonas, she had compromised so many times, just as Victor had said, and being entangled.
There were still too many connections between the two of them. Melinda was not a heartless person who could give up completely.
And if Nelson knew, he wouldn't let her do it. Nelson was very loyal to relationships.
Melinda was upset.
At the same time, when Emily received the photo sent by a private detective, Emily was also vexed. The feelings of Jonas for Melinda were far beyond her understanding.
The same as Melinda, she thought that Jonas was just unwilling, but once again insisted, was it really that simple?
All of this was because of love. Emily already thought of the ridiculous answer in her mind.
But that was the truth.
"Shall we continue watching them?" The voice of the detective came through the phone, which made Emily come back to her senses. She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course. Is he still in the hotel?"
"It seems that he's going back to the Gu's mansion." In the starlight, a low-key black car followed behind the ostentatious sports car of Jonas. Seeing his driving route, they guessed that he might be on the way home.
"Tell me when he is out," Emily exhorted. Now she couldn't enter the Gu's mansion freely. But the surveillance on Jonas wouldn't stop because of this. In important moments, Yulia would send her a lot of messages.
The detective ended the call without another word. He focused his gaze on Jonas's car and didn't say anything else. The car that had been speeding suddenly slowed down and stopped, which caught him by surprise. The first thing he thought of was that he might expose himself.
But Jonas didn't make any next move. The detective licked his lips, and finally drove slowly and passed Jonas's car. When the two cars were side by side, he saw that Jonas rolled down the window of his car, and a scarlet light appeared in the night.
Jonas was very upset and didn't know how to vent it, as the Gu's mansion only brought him depression.
He became more addicted to smoking after Melinda left.
It was not until the last cigarette in the box finished that he closed the window. It was cold outside and his fingers were a little stiff.
The next day, Jonas showed up at the downstairs of Melinda's company. Emily had been informed by the detectives and arrived at the company almost immediately.
Those who were eager to accost Jonas were suspicious when they saw a beautiful and a little familiar woman, standing next to Jonas.
"Here you are." Emily wore a miniskirt today, and her long, round, and slender legs were covered with long boots, light pink matching, which made her a pretty young girl.
The clothes that Jonas wore were the couple's clothes that had been bought by Melinda before. The thin clothes made people shiver in such a cold weather.
"What are you doing here?" Jonas glanced at Emily and looked away. He kept looking at the door, hoping to see Melinda. Even if she came out to ask him to go away, he would like to.
However, Melinda did not appear in the crowd.
Emily followed his eyes, pretended to say unintentionally, "Doesn't Melinda know you are here? Or she doesn't want to see you?"
She said in a mock way, deliberately provoking Jonas, who remained unmoved and just said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Jonas, if you keep standing like this, you will soon be on the headline of Weibo." What Emily said was true. The behavior of Jonas had drawn the attention of many private media.
"Women always know women better. How about I give you a good idea?" Emily's eyes were half closed, but her mind was spinning fast. As expected, after hearing this, Jonas, who didn't take care of her, turned his head in an instant and looked at her with expectation.
It seemed that his eyes were telling her to say it quickly.
"Why don't you pretend to be with me? As long as Melinda still loves you, she will be jealous. By then, she will naturally appear," Emily said jokingly, but her fingers were clenched into fists, and her nails were deep into the palms of her hands.
She seemed to be joking, but in fact she was serious. She was waiting for the answer of Jonas.
But without a trace of hesitation, Jonas said coldly, "No way."
The biggest misunderstanding between him and Melinda was Emily. And now, he let her get involved. Was he worried that Melinda would not be more alienated? Sometimes, Jonas was stupid in relationships, but he was smart enough to know that.
Emily was still forcing a smile.
"You really don't want to have a try? Maybe that's a good idea." Emily didn't want to give up. But Jonas didn't even want to give her a look.
They fell into silence, but it was the lively atmosphere in the company. Although Emily had covered her face, she was still recognized.
