"You're pregnant, but why do you still take these heavy stuff? Why don't Jonas ask the servant to buy food for you?" When Melinda saw Queena, Queena also noticed her. She frowned at the thing in her hand.
She wouldn't blame Melinda now, so her son was the one to blame.
She went over to help Melinda carry the things. Melinda didn't refuse her and asked her to share the things. She took out the key from her small bag and opened the door.
"Mommy, why didn't you tell me in advance? Have you waited for a long time at the door?"
There was a middle-aged servant living in their apartment, but since they both liked the feeling of spending time with each other, the servant became an hourly servant.
The door opened, and Melinda found a pair of shoes for Queena, and skillfully classified the things she had bought. Queena knew that she had done these things quite often from her skillful movement.
"I didn't expect you to be not at home," said Queena. She handed the things in her hand to Melinda, who tidied them up, washed her hands and poured a glass of water for Queena. Then she sat quietly beside her.
"Jonas is quite busy in the company recently," Melinda explained. Queena nodded and did not blame Melinda for letting her to wait.
After all, it was she who came to visit unexpectedly. She had thought that the young couple may go out for a date, so she did not call to urge them. However, it was out of her expectation that Jonas was busy in the company while Melinda was busy shopping.
Their way of life was so simple that she didn't know what to say.
"I'm here to persuade Jonas to go home. You can't just live here all the time," Queena said in a worried voice. Recently, she had quarrels with Alston for many times because of this matter, and her hair was almost white.
"Mommy, I have persuaded him, but Jonas... You know him well. No matter what I say to him, he won't listen to me," Melinda said. Sometimes only women understood women.
Queena and she didn't think it was appropriate for Jonas to do that, but they was unable to persuade him.
"Well, that kid..."
Queena said in a hopeless voice. Then she didn't mention it again. She cared about Melinda's health, but after thought for a while, Melinda still mentioned what happened today to her.
"How dare she come to you, that executioner!" Queena got angry when she heard this, thinking of his grandson who could not come to this world.
"I don't know what she is going to do," Melinda said. Though she was arrogant at that time, she was also a little afraid.
"Don't worry about it. I'll talk to her later. As for Jonas, please try to persuade him," Queena comforted Melinda. She was afraid that Melinda would be emotionally influenced, so she accompanied her at home until Jonas came back home.
Queena was a woman of action. She said she was going to meet Emily and she contacted her the next day.
The next morning, Emily arrived at the coffee shop half an hour earlier than the appointed time. She didn't know why Queena suddenly wanted to see her.
She just thought it was a good opportunity.
The coffee shop was rather quiet. As usual, Emily found a secluded corner and sat down.
The appointment time of them was 9:30. In order to give Queena a good impression, Emily arrived early. However, when it was about 9:30, Queena still didn't appear at the door.
Emily began to be anxious, but she was still waiting at her position. Queena did not arrive here, so she didn't dare to order anything. The eyes of the waiter not far away changed.
Ten, half past ten... Emily had been waiting for her. She wanted to leave for several times, but she finally held it back. However, she was on the verge of explosion.
Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, the coffee shop was crowded with more and more people, and the seat was not enough. The waiter could not help asking Emily what she needed.
"Latte please. Thank you." Emily held back the impulse to abuse and ordered in a low voice.
It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Queena arrived late. She was wearing a purple cheongsam, looking elegant.
She looked around the coffee shop and instantly saw Emily in the corner.
"Hello, Auntie Yao." Queena thought that Emily was more unfathomable. She had made her wait here for almost a day, and now she was still smiling. It was really not easy.
"I have nothing else to tell you." Queena didn't even prepare to sit down. She just looked at Emily and looked at the coffee on the table in mockery.
The look in her eyes made Emily's face darken again.
"I heard that you went to see Mellie yesterday," Queena asked while she was not doubtful at all. Her eyes were as sharp as blades, which showed that she wanted to know more about Emily.
It seemed that she was cutting her flesh, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.
"I happened to meet her."
In the end, Emily chose to lie. When she thought that Queena came here for Melinda, she felt uncomfortable again.
