Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 29

The Gu's mansion lit up brightly as evening fell. The bustling servants seemed to indicate that this was a luxurious family.

Nelson sat alone on the sofa, with his head slightly drooping. He looked at the direction of the front door, as if waiting for Melinda to return.

"Oh dear."

Sighing, Nelson stood up and reached for his crutch, and left. He didn’t know what to expect, but when he came to this old age, he became very childish.

It seemed strange that Jonas returned home today instead of staying over at the company.

Although he didn’t like Melinda, since they used to be a couple living together, Jonas experienced a strange feeling when he stepped inside their bedroom. He just couldn’t explain what it was.

The next morning, when Jonas showed up at the table, he nearly triggered another world war. Nelson, upon seeing him, grew furious.

Queena perceived a headache coming. Her son and her father-in-law seldom agreed on anything, particularly about Melinda.

"Grandpa, I don’t understand why you stick up for that woman. She had an affair with another man while still married to my brother. Now that they have divorced, isn’t it great?"

Yulia said with a dissatisfied air. The more Nelson thought well of Melinda, the further hatred Yulia harbored against her.

"Shut up!"

"You shut up!"

This time, the two of them were on the same side. Nelson was always defending Melinda. As for Jonas, he thought it was a matter of dignity as a man. Yesterday in the coffee shop, he realized that this matter was a misunderstanding.

Yulia felt very aggrieved. She thought at least to deal with the matter related to Melinda, Jonas would help her.

Nelson gave Jonas a sidelong glance, and somehow the atmosphere around the table was more harmonious.

Nelson liked Melinda a lot. As the wife of Jonas, she should have a lot of valuables. However, she seldom used those things and just stored them all in the bedroom.

After the meal, Yulia sneaked inside Melinda’s room. When she walked into the space where Melinda used to stay, she saw a lot of things she wanted. She took away all the unopened items and destroyed the rest.

She tore, in particular, Melinda’s clothes, making them almost look like rags.

Jonas forgot his watch in the bedroom so he had to go back and get it, and simultaneously saw the scene. He frowned and his eyes turned cold with anger.

Yulia hesitated for a moment and instantly tuck something behind her back, as if she was hiding something.

"Jonas."

"What are you doing here?"

Staring at the mess on the floor, he figured out once and for all what was wrong. Melinda’s belongings were fewer than before, and now he could see the reason.

The walked-in closet had been left open with a few clothes left.

"Melinda doesn’t need these old garments. I can tear them apart and ask the servants to turn them into a mop,"

Yulia said through clenched teeth. 'How could she possess all these things? She’s a nobody, she doesn’t deserve anything at all!' she thought.

To disgrace Melinda, she brazenly destroyed all personal items associated with her.

"That’s enough. Don’t make grandpa unhappy."

"Jonas, are you siding with her?"

Yulia didn’t think so. She presumed maybe she got it wrong, or perhaps Jonas was just joking and she didn’t get it because he delivered it so straight. Her eyes widened, and Jonas, who still wore an icy face, silently replied that he wasn’t teasing.

"Yulia, I don’t want to repeat myself."

Jonas had always been a man of dignity and calm determination. Now he stood there quietly in a black suit, looking more despotic than he actually was.

Although Yulia was an illegitimate daughter, the Gu family had a reputable status, so she boasted of many things that other people couldn’t have. She had been living a very lavish lifestyle all her life.

She was someone who didn’t know how to earn money, and only learned how to be extravagant. Most times, she showed off her incompetence, and Jonas found it distasteful.

"These things belonged to Melinda, so despite everything, she alone could sort those out. Use them as a mop? You sound ridiculous."

"Jonas, please be man enough. Melinda betrayed your trust and cheated on you, but you still make excuses for her. You must be insane."

Yulia seemed to have a shameless disregard for her actions just now. She suspected that there was something wrong with her brother, so she spoke what was in her mind and heart.

"Yulia, have I let you live too comfortably these days?"

Every word Yulia said crushed the sense of dignity in Jonas, something that he valued most. This was a mere disagreement created by someone on purpose, but got regarded as true.
