At this moment, in Vern's house, Jonas and Vern were drinking tea happily. Jonas had asked his men to bring good tea here.
"Sorry, my Mellie makes you a lot of troubles. You have to take good care of her from now on."
Thinking that Melinda said that she didn't have time since she had to finish the manuscripts, Vern sighed and realized that he had been controlling her too tight these days.
Anyway, he still had a way to get Melinda back from the company.
"She's stubborn."
Although Jonas said so, a faint smile emerged on the corners of his mouth. He looked at the clock on the wall, thinking of the distance between Melinda's company and here.
"Dad, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the dinner," Jonas said. He had bought a lot of cooking materials, which had been processed before, and now it just needed to be cooked in pot.
"You can cook?"
Jonas looked graceful all over. His tailor-made suit was taken off by him and hung aside, exposing the shirt inside the suit.
The buttons on the shirts were all glowing jewels. They were of moderate luxury in low-key.
No one would believe that he dressed up to prepare lunch, not for a negotiation or meeting a friend.
"Dad, don't worry." said Jonas confidently. He went straight to the kitchen, where there were many materials of different styles on the chopping board.
Jonas recalled the recipe in his mind and began to prepare them in an orderly way.
After explaining to the leader, Melinda rushed back home in a hurry, only to find her father watching TV on the sofa, as if nothing had happened.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Melinda rushed to her father before she changed her shoes, which frightened Vern.
"You have a baby in your belly. Don't be so rash."
How could Melinda not be worried, but she gradually realized that something was wrong. She calmed down. Looking at her father, she asked doubtfully, "Dad, are you okay?"
"I'm fine,"
said Vern, while looking to the kitchen. Melinda followed his direction, and saw a man in elegant as if he knew nothing about the world, who was cooking something with a spade.
His movement was natural and flawless, but it could be seen that he was not very skilled. Melinda slightly narrowed her eyes, as if she could see sweat slide down the handsome face.
"Jonas is a nice kid. He came to see me when he was so busy and bought so many things for me. He said he wanted to cook for me."
Vern was always generous with his praise to Jonas. That was why he always lied to get Melinda back.
Hearing this, Melinda finally understood why her father lied to her because he wanted her back right now.
Slowly sitting down, she watched the busy cooking figure in the kitchen and fell into deep thought.
"Linda is back, isn't she?"
Jonas was quick and it had something to do with his style. But the dishes on the table were exquisite and it was like a dish in the restaurant.
People couldn't tell it was good or not.
The coldness in his eyes always disappeared when he saw Melinda.
"Did you prepare all these?"
Melinda went to the dining room, and there were several dishes on the table. The strong smell of food came to her nose, making her unable to resist eating.
Even if she didn't have a good appetite because of her pregnancy, her mouth had been hooked.
"I can testify that Jonas did it himself." Not knowing when, Vern came behind Melinda and interrupted her.
He looked at the dishes on the table with satisfaction, and felt that his son-in-law was versatile.
"Look, Jonas is so busy. He even came to visit me and cooked for me. How about you? I asked you to come back and have dinner with me, but you didn't listen to me."
After comparing his daughter with his son-in-law, Vern said in a slightly reproachful tone. Melinda felt very sorry for what she had done, and Jonas thought it was unfair for her. He said in a hurry, "Linda is pregnant now and it's very hard for her. She has to go out to work. It's my fault."
"You are spoiling her. Mellie, in my opinion, you'd better quit your job."
Sitting aside, Melinda kept silent. She could bear the intensity of her job. There was no need to quit. More importantly, she liked this job.
"Dad, Linda likes her job. She will be happy if she can communicate with different people every day."
With that, the look on Melinda's face finally softened a lot. Vern stopped talking and took the seat of honor.
