After that day, Melinda felt that understanding other's feeling was a good idea, and in the next few days, she would think about it first before deciding.
What made her happier was the change of her father's attitude. Now she went to the home to accompany her father every day. Sometimes she met Jonas, and sometimes she missed him.
"You are early today." As soon as Vern saw Melinda, a smile appeared on his face. He was delighted to see that the young couple got along well with each other.
Every day, Jonas arranged a doctor to check his physical condition and greeted him in person. He mentioned to him what had happened between him and Melinda every day.
"Dad, let me cook for you today." Today was Melinda's day off. She bought some vegetables and meat, hoping to cook for her father.
Although she could bear hardships, she had never cooked at home. Now that she had learned, she wanted to show it to her father.
Vern was also a little surprised. He saw that she was carrying many materials in her hands, but before he could react, Jonas came out of Melinda's room and quickly took the things in her hands.
"You are pregnant now. You should not carry such heavy things," said Jonas as he brought the things into the kitchen. He came here early today, thinking that there were few things to do in the company, so he just waited for Melinda here.
However, he was a little tired, so Vern let him have a rest in Melinda's room.
"I will listen to you orders later. Don't touch those things like knives and so on." Jonas didn't stop Melinda from cooking for her father, but he didn't allow her to touch such dangerous things.
Hearing this, Melinda became delighted and nodded continuously. She didn't expect that Jonas would say so.
As they were in the kitchen, Vern couldn't say anything more. In order to let Vern feel what a skillful cook Melinda was, Jonas handed the seasoning over to her.
It was the first time that they had cooked together. A warm feeling filled up Melinda's heart.
In the Gu's mansion, they would not speak when having meals, but in this place, Jonas would not talk with Vern and would ask him about his health condition. Sometimes, he might remind Vern what was good for him to eat and what was not good.
Melinda didn't say much, but she felt very happy in her heart. The meticulousness of Jonas made her feel that she did not love the wrong person. She felt that all her efforts in this relationship were worth for a moment.
She could not help putting her hands on her abdomen, and considered whether to go back home with Jonas.
Now Jonas looked exactly like a good husband. It was weekend, and they were afraid that Vern might feel bored at home. Therefore, Jonas was driving his car and taking Melinda and Vern out for fun.
In a secluded tea house, Emily and Jerry walked into a box as they had promised and there was no one in the box. Emily could not help cursing in a low voice, "What does Holley mean? Put on airs?"
They discussed for a long time and agreed to meet at the tea house which was located in the old area in the city. There were not many people and it was quiet there.
"Now that we're all here, can't you put up with it for a while? When things are done, whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me," Jerry said as he glanced at her, looking around the box carefully.
He had been used to it, because he had no sense of security about anything around him. He had to check it out.
"If you hadn't been urging me all the time, I wouldn't have been here waiting for her," Emily said discontentedly. She had planned to arrive later, which made Holley think that they didn't need her help. But Jerry didn't allow it, he took her to the teahouse on time.
"Women are so troublesome,"
Jerry grumbled. He had been worried that Holley wouldn't wait for them. But now, as he had seen it, all this kind of women had the same thoughts in their hearts.
"You men will also act this way." Emily was not convinced and retorted. She had seen so many so-called "grand final" before.
In this real life, men and women, most of the time, used this method to declare war with each other.
Although they were cooperating, they should take the biggest advantage.
They talked in a desultory way. Holley was late for fifteen minutes. Wearing a small sun top and tight skirt, she looked so sexy.
"Sorry, I am late because I had to attend a show for my friend,"
Holley said with a smile as she took a seat. She poured herself a cup of tea and smoothed her hair around her ear with a provocative smile.
She seemed to explain politely, but just to stimulate Emily.
"Well, now that we are here, sit down first."
Afraid that they would quarrel again, Jerry tried to mediate. This was the design of the ancient tea house, and even the chairs were made of woods.
He moved to another seat for Holley and added tea to himself and Emily. "Come on, have a drink. Let's forget the unhappiness in the past."
The two did not care about Jerry at all. When their eyes met, it seemed like there was a fire flashed, which made Jerry's head ache again.
"What method are you talking about?" Emily asked, coming straight to the point, as if she didn't want to waste more time on Holley.
"Do you really agree with my request?" Holley sipped her tea and looked at Emily's face.
It was obvious that she looked better than before since she had made up. And her dressing style in white was her consistent style, to show that she was pure and innocent.
