Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 288

After seeing Jerry once, Emily had many plans in her heart, but they were all up to Jerry's cooperation.

Jerry was immersed in the fact that he could inherit the family business of Gu family. Emily was good at taking advantage of people's minds, and she saw through his ambition.

She wanted to help Jerry to grab all that Jonas had in the Gu family, so he must beg her for help then. But in this case, she needed to make a good plan.

It wasn't easy for her to get out of the police station this time. Jonas had found Colin who bailed her out. Colin was in a high position, but Jonas was not a man he could deal with at will. He also warned Emily not to make trouble.

Owing to the unpleasant thing that had happened last time, Jonas was a typical office worker now. The news he reported every day and night was reported by the staff, leaving uncomfortably hard for Ted and William.

Several days later, as soon as Jonas got home, he was called to the study by Nelson, who was holding a tea pot and making a cup of tea made by Melinda. The faint fragrance of flowers pervaded the whole study, making people feel at ease.

Jonas stood there quietly, waiting for Nelson to speak.

These were his experiences accumulated over the years. Nelson had asked him to the study, either giving him orders or teaching him lessons.

"How are you getting on with Mellie recently?" Nelson said as he casted a glance at Jonas, with his right hand rubbing the head of his walking stick.

Jonas knew that what had happened to him and Melinda recently worried his family a lot. "Linda has a serious knot in her heart, but she will get better sooner or later."

"I have heard that for many times," Nelson snorted. His sharp eyes made him look like the unrelenting general.

Jonas touched his nose awkwardly. He had done nothing wrong. Every time the situation was better, Emily always ran out to make trouble. Everything went back to the beginning.

It was like a dead loop. But the good thing was that Linda was still with him after all these things.

"Do you know that there are only two days left for Mellie to celebrate her birthday?" Nelson was a little guilty when he said this. Recently he began to be confused and almost forgot it.

It was not until he made a call to Melinda's grandfather and heard he regret not being able to celebrate the birthday with Melinda that Nelson realized that.

"Isn't Linda's birthday next week?" Jonas remembered those days very clearly and wondered if his grandfather had misread the date.

Hearing this, Nelson was very happy, and even a little proud. "Mellie has always been celebrating the lunar birthday, not the one on the ID card."

Leonard was particular about this. Besides, the date on the ID card was always a little wrong.

"Grandpa, let's celebrate Linda's birthday," said Jonas. He could not help but recall something that had happened long time ago. Back then, when Melinda was in college, she wanted to invite him to her birthday party, but in the end, she didn't even get a chance to talk to him.

And Melinda had married to Gu family for so many years and had never celebrated a birthday. The guiltiness in Jonas's heart almost beat him to death. He swore secretly that he would do his best to celebrate the birthday for Linda.

Nelson was satisfied with what Jonas did, and that was the main reason why he asked him here today. With his awareness, he didn't say anything more.

Melinda had a lot of work to deal with in the company. After the last case was approved, she was in charge of many things.

She was extremely busy. It was said that after one was 20 years old, one's birthday would not have been a big deal, and Melinda had totally forgotten her birthday.

Just before getting off work, Melinda received a call from Jonas, saying that Nelson had a small party in Gu's mansion and it was a little noisy, so the two of them went back to the apartment near the company and stayed there.

"Melinda, let me give you a ride." Melinda worked overtime for the program today. Victor was a very sympathetic boss. In fact, he was a little overshadowed by the incident in Emily's kidnap last time.

"No, thank you. I'll go to the subway station later and it's not late now," Melinda said while looking at the watch on her wrist. Then she quickly tidied up her belongings. Victor didn't say anything, but silently sent her to the subway station.

The light was completely off in the apartment. Frowning, Melinda wondered if Jonas had to work overtime again today.
