"Wonton is ready. Have some now." Jonas put the bowl in front of Melinda. From the pitiful look on her face, people who didn't know her might think that he was snatching the food from her.
Melinda couldn't wait to eat the wonton. Resisting the urge to knock on her head, Jonas picked up his vibrating phone.
"Mommy."
He was in a good mood, so his tone was pleasant. Queena looked at the number on the screen, and it was his son's. She didn't call the wrong number.
"Why didn't you go back home last night? Did you mess around outside? Linda is pregnant now. If you do this, I won't admit you as my son. I'm going to drive you out and take Linda home. In this way, you won't be annoyed..."
Queena regained consciousness and thought of the purpose of the call. Jonas's face was filled with confusion, but Melinda didn't notice it and quietly ate breakfast beside him.
"Mom, that's enough. You should give your son a chance to speak."
Seeing that Queena was almost exaggerating and she was about to convict him, Jonas hurried to stop her.
"Fine. Tell me where you went last night. You'd better find me the witnesses,"
Queena said fiercely, afraid that his son would make mistakes again.
Her interrogation attitude made Jonas did not know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at the happy face of Melinda and could not help but smile.
"I took care of Linda and the baby last night,"
Jonas said in a straightforward manner, but there was a cold hum of Queena coming from the other end of the phone. "You're so good at telling lies, do you think Linda will pay attention to you?"
Queena was so angry that Jonas even dared to use Melinda as an excuse. Her son really deserved a lesson.
"Linda." Jonas did not answer Queena's suspicion, but called Melinda, whose mouth was full of wonton, looking up at him, "What's wrong?"
Melinda's voice was highly recognizable. It reached the ears of Queena through the telephone line. She was shocked with her eyes wide open and almost dropped her phone.
"Are you really at Linda's place? Does she finally accept you?"
Queena asked in surprise, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. It would be nice if that's the case.
"Because your son is so charming." Jonas was in a good mood, and even began to tease his mother.
Queena thought of the scene that Melinda detested her son, a chill came over her. She had no idea who gave this guy the courage to say such a thing.
But, it seemed that her son was actually very attractive, for those women were proofs.
"All right, I'm relieved that you are together with Linda. Take good care of her. I have to go."
As a good mother, Queena wouldn't disturb the relationship between Jonas and Melinda at this time.
"Is it from Aunt Yao?"
Melinda's mouth was still full of wonton, and she was inarticulate. She was like a little hamster eating its food, and her cheeks were bulging.
Jonas reached out and poked her cheek, as if he had found a new continent. He found it very interesting.
"Yes, she let me keep you company, so today I will continue to be your and the baby's Guardian God." She glared at him, but it was not scary at all. Instead, she acted like a spoiled child.
"No need. Humph."
She groaned, grabbing the deep fried dough sticks from the table and sending it to her mouth. Since she was pregnant, she had a big appetite, but she couldn't eat much. She vomited many things before she took a bite. Today she had a rare appetite, so she must eat more.
Melinda nodded and ate the deep fried dough sticks with the wonton, simple but happy.
"Why do you only look at me but not eat?" Melinda looked at Jonas suspiciously, wondering if he was still angry that Kent bought the breakfast for her.
"You are so pretty that I would like to eat you up." Jonas could not help but tease Melinda. "I think you don't like the breakfast," said Melinda.
"I like whatever you like. How could I dislike it?"
The sweet talk of Jonas came online, which completely depended on what Melinda would do next. Jonas found it an interesting thing to flirt with Melinda, and it also seemed to enhance their relationship.
"Ou."
Looking at Jonas, Melinda remained silent for a long time. Her expression was struggling, but finally she vomited under the hospitable eyes of Jonas.
Jonas was shocked. He didn't know what was going on.
In a hurry, Melinda got up and ran towards the bathroom. It was not until now that Jonas realized that she was not kidding, but really feeling bad.
"What's wrong with you, Linda? Are you okay?"
Seeing that Melinda kept vomiting, Jonas, who followed closely behind her, became anxious. His face suddenly turned pale as Melinda was.
"I'm fine. I just feel a little sick. Go and get me a glass of hot water. I'll be okay in a minute."
With one hand holding Jonas's arm, Melinda leaned weakly against him. Tears were flickering in the corner of her eyes, but before she came to herself, she felt nauseated again.
"Oh... Kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk...."
Melinda vomited and coughed. Her whole mouth was full of sour taste, making her uncomfortable.
