Jerry and Emily doubted and used each other and maintained a very strange relationship.
It made Emily more excited to cooperate with Jerry, and she felt that she had been emboldened.
The difference was that before, it was Jerry who begged her to help him, and now, she had to rely on Jerry to do something.
The two had confirmed the cooperation, but did not make any further plans. They were both waiting quietly, but Emily's patience was obviously limited.
She could not wait to do something that would shock and terrify Melinda.
Melinda lost two children in a row, which made her attach huge importance on the child she was carrying now. She had thought that she should have a career before, but now she had gradually learned to let it go.
Instead, she liked staying at home more and more. She went for a walk every evening and then went to the market nearby.
The relationship between Jonas and Alston was still stiff, but the marriage of Jerry and Stacy had not been mentioned recently.
Melinda had asked Jonas, who told her that he didn't know what was going on, but he thought that David would find a way to stop him.
"I just can't get used to the peaceful life these days," Melinda murmured in Jonas's arms, her hand caressing her belly.
Thinking of all the things she had experienced along the way, Melinda felt like she was in a dream. She could not help but rub herself in the arms of Jonas, feeling the real existence of him.
"Everything will be fine."
He would shield her from any wind and rain, protect her from these hurts and darkness.
His Linda should be happy.
The two of them chatted casually. There weren't many topics, but neither of them would stop talking. A sense of warmth filled in their hearts. Although Jonas was very busy, he still spared some time to keep Melinda's company.
He took a look at his watch and found that it was time for the dinner. He was going to take Melinda with him, but considering her health, he finally decided to let her wait for him at home.
At the same time, Melinda was also keeping herself away from the electronic products. She found that there were a lot of novels and poems in her study, which were bought by Jonas for her to read when she felt bored.
On the contrary, his financial and economics books were put in the corner.
Melinda randomly picked up a book she liked, and as soon as she opened the first page, her phone rang.
It was a strange number in A City. Melinda was suspicious, but she still picked it up.
"Hello?" Melinda greeted politely and asked in a low voice. She didn't know who it was.
"Melinda, how could you forget me so soon?"
Emily's arrogant voice came through the phone. Hearing this, Melinda frowned and felt disgusted.
At the same time, Melinda began to think she was a doomsayer. She said the life was too peaceful just now, but now the trouble came.
"What's up?"
Emily and Jerry could be said to be the very reason why Melinda became indifferent.
However, Melinda's attitude made Emily very happy. Thinking that Melinda was afraid of her, Emily was pleased and kept smiling.
Her face used to be delicate, and now she was wearing some cosmetics. She didn't know if it was because she was too haggard in the prison, or what, this face was much more stiff than before.
No one could connect Emily with that pure and innocent actress before.
She was so vicious and cruel.
"Let's meet and have a talk," Emily said in a playful tone, as if she was sure that Melinda would not refuse her proposal.
But this time, she was doomed to be disappointed. Hearing this, Melinda sneered and looked like Jonas.
There was only conspiracy involved in Emily's several meetings. Therefore, Melinda was not stupid enough to agree.
"I'm pregnant again. It's not good for me to walk too much." Melinda emphasized the word "again" deliberately to irritate Emily.
"Do you still expect me to believe you after you hurt my baby?"
"The baby? Melinda, you'd better not pay too much attention to this baby. Who knows if it will be the same as the other two?"
Emily's mouth was like a venomous snake. Hearing this, Melinda was trembling all over with anger. Finally, she hung up the phone without saying more to Emily.
It took a long time for Melinda to calm down. She touched her belly and kept mumbling. She didn't know if she was comforted by the baby or herself.
"Baby, you must be strong. Mommy will protect you." While saying that, Melinda was restless in her heart. She wondered whether there was something conspiracy going on since Emily appeared.
Emily was not happy about Melinda's refusal, but she had expected that she would not meet her. Melinda would be really stupid, if she really agreed to meet her.
