Right from the start, Emily had planned to have sex with Jonas after he got drunk, but she didn't expect him to leave so quickly. She tried to contact him again, but she couldn't reach him.
According to her investigation, she learned that Melinda had been staying in the villa and that she and Jonas were in a good relationship.
Nelson had been anxious about them. He was surprised as well as happy when he knew that Jonas accompanied Melinda at home.
He had a feeling that his grandson's eye for women would be better sooner or later, due to Melinda's great kindness.
The two of them couldn't know what Nelson was thinking. Three days had passed since they went to the market. During that time, they needed to restock their pantry. Thinking of how Jonas could be of use, Melinda brought him along to the nearest grocery and purchased a lot of food items.
Simultaneously, Melinda wondered how long the vacation would last. Was it okay since Jonas did not go back to the company for so long?
Back in the Gu's mansion, Nelson was ecstatic to hear the latest update. Gavin stood beside him and complimented Jonas for finally being smart.
"Well, this holiday was indeed a good way to stir up and foster feelings. It seems like I will soon have a little great-grandchild."
Nelson thought it was a wise decision to arrange a holiday trip for just the two of them. He used to believe that they would be okay with each other, but now he wanted a great-grandchild.
As the grandfather of Jonas, who was considered a man of action, Nelson was the same. He called Jonas promptly.
"Jonas, how are you doing with Mellie?"
"Not bad."
After all, they could make their rest in stride. Although Jonas was miserable, he would rather not think about that.
"That's great. You are old enough to have a kid. Do it as soon as possible. I'll wait for your good news,"
said Nelson. Jonas's face felt numb and quite stiff for a moment, but he returned to normal.
"I get it, Grandpa. Do you have anything else to add?"
"It's okay now. You can go back to your honeymoon and enjoy yourselves." Nelson squinted and hung up the phone. People said that the honeymoon phase was the most convenient time to start trying for a baby.
Jonas knew he had to face the fact eventually, but considering his current status with Melinda, he was afraid it would be difficult.
Somehow, he felt a little excited at the thought that he might have a child with Melinda.
Every business person had to be tough, including Jonas. He thought it over and decided to talk in the most uncomplicated and direct manner.
"Let's talk."
Jonas walked to Melinda's room. The door was not closed, and Melinda was not writing. Instead, she was lying back on the rattan chair, looking relaxed. Her eyes were closed, the corners of her mouth turning up in a small smile. Jonas's voice was uncontrollably mellow.
Melinda squinted, glanced at Jonas, and then stood up, pointing to the seat beside her.
The arrival of Jonas was somewhat unexpected. Proud as he was, he had been ignored these days and felt humbled. 'Why did he come here? Was there anything important?'
"Grandpa called."
"Are we going back?"
Melinda asked, her soft eyes full of seriousness. Jonas was a bit mad, and he put on a rueful smile.
"He wants us to make a baby,"
Jonas uttered. Melinda's body tensed up as she thought of what had happened that night. "No way," she refused straight away.
"Melinda, this is what Grandpa asked us to do,"
conveyed Jonas. Being refused like this made him feel humiliated and furious, which made him sound rough.
"There is no such stipulation in our contract, Jonas,"
said Melinda. She didn't want to mention the child issue anymore, as it would remind her of the baby she never expected to have. She sneered and looked at Jonas viciously, "Jonas, we would already have a baby, but you abandoned him."
Jonas's breathed slowly, and his eyes sank with deep sorrow. Although he didn't like her, it was his child. He didn't know that her sharpness could hurt people like this before.
Hearing this, Jonas, who planned to have a peaceful discussion with Melinda, suddenly held back all his words, and neither of them said anything.
If it were in the past, Jonas would pressure Melinda with intimidation. But seeing her hurt eyes, he suddenly decided to be quiet.
