It was not until Melinda got downstairs that she realized the voice was from Alston's study.
As far as she knew, Alston was not at home, and the servants in the house would not easily go to the master's study. She was a little scared, but she still quietly approached.
It took Yulia a long time to get the password of Yulia's study. Now she entered it after spending a lot of time.
During this period of time, there were always some people in the family. It had been difficult to take action. Today was a rare good opportunity, and no one was at home.
As a pregnant woman with inconvenient movements, Melinda was ignored by Yulia. Alston's study was very big, and the sun couldn't shine in and she did not turn on the light. It was a little dark and frightening.
Terrified, Yulia didn't dare to turn on the light. She turned on the flashlight and looked for something in the study. Looking into it through the crack of the door, Melinda almost screamed. She quickly covered her mouth and leaned against the wall.
Yulia looked like a ghost just now.
When Melinda looked inside again, she saw the furtive figure of Yulia, but she couldn't see clearly what she was doing. She wanted to get closer, but she was afraid of being discovered.
Standing stiffly outside the study, Melinda dared not move. She could only see through the crack of the door to see what was happening inside. It seemed that Yulia was looking for something.
When Yulia was about to come out, Melinda hurried to the next room and hid herself. The next room was Queena's bedroom, which was well lit and brought Melinda back to her senses from the darkness just now.
When she heard the noise from the next door, the door had been closed, and then hurried footsteps. After making sure that Yulia had left, Melinda carefully opened the door of the bedroom.
Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she was even gasping for breath.
The distance from the second floor to the third floor made Melinda a little scared. Yulia lived at the second floor, and she was afraid that Yulia would suspect her if she went to third floor now, so she went straight to the first floor.
There were many servants on the first floor who were busy. When the maid saw Melinda, she hurried to help her.
"Auntie, please make a glass of juice for me," Melinda said to the servant. Then she sat down in the living room. She didn't dare to stay on the third floor alone at this time.
The uneasiness in her heart made her need to stay in a place with someone else.
The servant deftly made a cup of Melinda's favorite juice for her. The juice was just ready when Yulia went downstairs. Looking at her, Melinda couldn't help but feel stiff.
"Hey, are you drinking juice? Auntie, help me make a cup of it, half sugar," Yulia said. Then she sat down on the sofa next to Melinda calmly. Melinda held the cup in her hand quietly to keep herself calm.
She drank juice to hide her uneasiness. At the moment Melinda put down the glass, she had returned to normal.
"Sis-in-law, why did you go downstairs today?" Yulia asked, pretending to chat normally. In fact, it was because she had just done something secretly and she was afraid so that she walked out of her bedroom. She didn't expect to see Melinda downstairs.
"I feel a little bored staying in the room all day long. I want to go downstairs and have a walk," Melinda said. The smile at the corners of her mouth was impeccable. Yulia nodded, completely unaware that what she had just done was seen by someone.
"Oh." Yulia didn't know what to say. In fact, she had a lot to say, but she didn't know how to say it in the end, so she kept silent.
Moreover, as for Melinda, because of what happened last time, there were some misunderstandings between her and Yulia. In addition, what happened just now made her unwilling to have too much communication with Yulia.
So even if the two sat on the same sofa, the atmosphere was very embarrassing as if no one was there.
After drinking the juice, Melinda excused herself that she was a little sleepy and asked the servant to take her upstairs to rest.
On the other hand, after staying downstairs for a while, Yulia felt her heart pounding. The nervousness and fear didn't relieve at all. She drank up a glass of juice and left the living room.
Unlike Melinda, she went to the outside of the Gu's mansion.
Having a rest in her room, Melinda didn't relax until she knew that Yulia went out. She guessed what Yulia was doing just now, and then fell asleep in a daze.
When Jonas came back, he saw that Melinda was lying on the bed in an uncomfortable position. He couldn't help frowning.
He asked about the time when Melinda went to the bed, and when he thought it was time to wake her up, he gently woke her up. Melinda was still a little confused and didn't know where she was and what time it was now.
But when she saw Jonas, she smiled brightly as usual.
"Jon." She put her arms around Jonas's neck and said coquettishly. Then she rubbed his body. Jonas wanted to hold her up as usual, but he really couldn't do anything now.
"It's time to get up," Jonas said gently. Melinda rubbed her eyes and looked out of the window at the sky.
