Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 49

Realizing that he was showing off in the presence of an expert, Perry was embarrassed after being mocked. He instantly backed off from Melinda.

Melinda sighed in her heart, finally feeling a bit better. It seemed that there were always some self-righteous people coming to annoy her.

The moment Perry calmed down, he called Yulia. It only took a few rings before she answered his call.

"How is it going?" Yulia asked.

"This woman is so hard to flirt with! What you've said is useless. If anything, I think I made her impression of me even worse."

The mere thought of being kicked in the face just now made Perry sigh exasperatedly. Yulia told him that Melinda really liked literature, and that he would surely be able to talk to her by pretending to be a literary enthusiast. 'What a stupid idea! Go to hell!' he thought.

"Alright, alright. I'm trying to think of another way. Don't give up now. If it still doesn't work, we need to change our tactics. I don't believe she won't be fooled."

Yulia didn't expect that things didn't go as she had expected. She told Perry about it and then thought about how to arrange for an encounter between them. Since Melinda was an introvert, Perry wouldn't succeed if she didn't push forward,

In an attempt to attract Melinda, the man Yulia had called was handsome.

The next day, Yulia proposed to take Melinda out for fun and make some new friends. Her intimate behavior surprised everyone.

"No, thanks. I don't like strangers," Melinda politely declined.

Melinda could see from Yulia's eyes that she was up to something bad. 'Does she think I'm that stupid to go out with her? What on earth is she planning anyway?' Melinda thought.

"Come on. There's no harm in making new friends,"

Yulia said in dissatisfaction. 'Humph! Who does she think she is? Does she think she's too good to get to know other people?'

"I have to finish my work today and hand it in tomorrow. Really, I don't have time," Melinda emphasized.

Hearing this, Nelson thought that Yulia was making trouble once again. Already, he had a hunch that the friends Yulia knew couldn't possibly be nice people.

Disdain was written all over Nelson's face.

"Stop pestering her, Yulia! Let Mellie do her writing. And shouldn't you stop going out so much to have 'fun'? Haven't you learned from the last incident?"

These so-called friends of Yulia's were the ones who betrayed her at a crucial moment. Yulia remembered her past of being cheated. Her face turned pale and she grew more resentful towards Melinda. If it wasn't her grandfather's concern for Melinda, he wouldn't have even remembered the bad things that happened to Yulia.

"Grandpa, I've changed,"

Yulia said sadly, with her eyes full of hatred. But nobody noticed that since she kept her head down.

"You said that you started a business a few days ago. Now how is it going? Don't just be idle about it. Maybe you should start finding a real job. You are not a child anymore. What's more, don't you think it's time to find a boyfriend?"

Nelson said. There was reluctance in Yulia's eyes. Meanwhile, Melinda was watching them silently and had a lot of mixed feelings. At the same time, she was a little curious about Yulia starting her own business. How could it be possible?

"Okay, go now, Yulia,"

Nelson sighed. He did not know whether Yulia had changed or not, but he did not want her to affect Melinda by her bad behavior. Therefore, when it came to these two people, Nelson wanted them to have as little contact as possible. For him, it didn't matter if they disliked each other or not.

As long as he was still alive, he was determined to prevent any trouble from coming their way.

"So you have a deadline tomorrow?" he asked as he turned to look at Melinda. "You should go and finish it then. Don't tire yourself. If you can't hand it in, you don't have to worry about it. I'll help you deal with it. You can hand it in whenever you finish it."

There was a doting look in his eyes. Suddenly, Melinda felt a bit thankful that Jonas treated her with such strictness. Otherwise, she might have become so spoiled and unruly because of how much Nelson loved her.

"Grandpa, I won't exert myself too much. Don't worry about it. I'll let you know if I have too much on my plate. But I can't make you do things like that for me. I still have to make you proud," she beamed at him.

Hearing this, Nelson nodded in understanding. Even though she did not directly reject his offer, she was open about what she believed in.

'She is really a good kid,' Nelson exclaimed in his heart.

Just like that, the plans Yulia had were derailed. Begrudgingly, she went on the blind date Nelson had arranged for her. As for the business she was trying to start, it had never been mentioned again.

Although Yulia was an illegitimate daughter, not everyone knew it. Many people from other families who had been curried favor with the Gu family all had other intentions.

Even though Yulia looked innocent, she was arrogant. This was a known fact especially to those who had gotten the chance to know her. However, when she was being introduced to men, it was nothing but praise for her. None of her negative traits were ever mentioned.

Nelson didn't ask too much for the men who went on a blind date with Yulia. The only thing that mattered was that they were decent. Therefore, not every one of them was from a rich family.

In truth, Yulia was worried most about not having enough money. Whenever she had a date scheduled with a man that wasn't from a well-off family, she would find all kinds of excuses to not get along with them—the most ridiculous reason she used was that she disliked the man's name.
