At one glance, Jonas knew the words were written by Melinda. It was a small note with graceful handwriting but not constrained.
"Congratulations, Mr. Jonas. You should deal with the first award for you."
"Ha-ha." Looking at such childish words, Jonas couldn't help laughing. The gratification on his face made him look much softer.
The way he showed up just now had attracted a lot of women's attention, and now they all looked at him.
In an instant, Jonas calmed himself down and looked at the grilled food on the table next to him. He sat at the table indifferently without any embarrassment.
He didn't feel superior to others, even though he was not used to the dining environment here.
But as long as it was given by Melinda, he would accept it all.
Maybe, this was the second test for him. Thinking of this, Jonas felt that the food that Melinda ordered wouldn't be too strange, and it was something that he usually ate, no matter it was salty or spicy, to a point that Jonas could accept.
Melinda always had a good understanding of this sort of detail about Jonas.
Jonas ate slowly. When he had barbecue, people had the feeling that he was in a western restaurant. Jonas ate all of them.
He still wasn't used to eating outside and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, but he looked at the stall owner with expectation.
He had eaten them all and believed that the stall owner would told him that Linda have told him.
"I didn't expect you would like to eat these." The stall owner was surprised to see that Jonas had swallowed all the food on his plate.
He also misunderstood that Jonas liked such stuff.
Jonas made no explanation. He felt a little disappointed. Looking at the stall owner's appearance, he knew it was not a test.
When he returned home, there was not much time to rest. Leaning against the chair, Jonas could not help thinking what kind of test would come to him later.
But it didn't matter. No matter what happened, he would not let Linda down.
Vern had been paying close attention to Melinda's actions these days. Seeing that she had no contact with Kent, he was very gratified, but at the same time, he was a little anxious. He wondered when Melinda would be able to be with Jonas.
As her father, he could not understand why Melinda was so stubborn. But since she had been doted on by Jonas, he could not say much.
Melinda was calm, but Vern thought it was the omen of a storm.
"Jon, how are you getting on with Linda?" Vern dialed Jonas's number again. Recently, he had more contacts with his son-in-law than with Melinda.
Jonas knew that his father-in-law had always been behind him, helping him to chase after Melinda, and he was also touched.
"Dad, I've been doing well with Linda. Don't worry,"
said Jonas. After he knew the accident that Melinda and Kent were together, he cared about Melinda very much. But he would give Melinda some space.
But Vern didn't think so. He called just to remind Jonas.
"Remember to report it to me every day, understand?" Vern was a stubborn old father.
"Don't worry, dad. Linda is testing me,"
said Jonas. In fact, most of the time, Melinda's test was childish, but Jonas had been serious to deal with it, and he had been accustomed to it over time.
To his great relief, he had not made any mistakes in the past few days.
When there was no test, Jonas would think about it all the time, but when it came to the test, he did it with his inner feelings instead of considering it at all.
He just wanted to treat Melinda with infinite love.
"If you are free today, come to have dinner with me,"
Vern added. The two talked about Melinda for a while before hanging up.
Now, it was these elders who were most nervous to see Melinda test Jonas and give him the chance to get back together.
It was said that parents would live a life full of worries once they had a child. Vern interpreted it perfectly.
"Okay,"
Jonas instantly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Vern looked at the clock on the wall and called Melinda.
The weather was getting hotter. Melinda often wore loose clothes, so others did not find that she was pregnant.
Now she still went to work every day. As for her clothing, she trusted Jonas. Because of her nature of working, she was meant to deal with the computer more often.
Melinda had tried her best to write on hand, but it was impossible for her to hand the reviewing over to others.
When Vern called, she was working on the finishing up of the whole morning.
