Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 54

"Jonas, why are you investigating Alan in private?"

"Something doesn't seem right with Alan's story. I would advise you not to invest yourself too much on this relationship," said Jonas coldly.

He really didn't take into account Yulia's feelings or care that she had found out that he was investigating her boyfriend. Furthermore, reports from his investigations indicated that something was wrong with Aner Electronic Technology Company, but he didn't have sufficient time to dig deeper and pin point the issue, so he couldn't get any useful information within such a short time.

"Jonas, he is my boyfriend, my future husband for goodness sake, you can't treat him like a common criminal."

Yulia was head over heels in love with Alan and whatever Alan did or said was law. So she didn't like that her brother was slandering his name and didn't even want to give him time to explain himself.

"I am not trying to be unnecessarily mean to you or him," Jonas said indifferently.

'It's such a tragedy to have such a brother who handles sensitive issues so casually,' thought Melinda who had been sitting beside Jonas, quietly listening to their exchange. She felt pity for Yulia.

"Jonas, I will not allow you to do this to my future husband anymore. I want you to stop the investigation immediately."

Yulia was so angry that she had completely forgotten that Jonas didn't like threats. Her warning had no effect on him at all.

"Yulia, you have to realize that you are a member of the Gu family. That means that you get to enjoy all the honor and benefits that comes with the Gu name, but you also have to be responsible and protect the name. You can't go picking up any Tom, Dick and Harry and bring garbage to this house."

While listening to their confrontation, Melinda realized that Jonas must been very polite to her, considering that he was now unapologetically referring to Alan as garbage.

"How can you be so rude and abuse Alan? Jonas, I will only marry Alan and no one else as long as I am alive. You can't stop us."

Melinda looked at Yulia, and her determined look reminded Melinda of when she was blindly in love.

"Whatever."

The atmosphere was suddenly tense as Jonas dismissed his sister's concerns and abruptly ended the discussion. Yulia stomped out of the living room and went back to her bedroom throwing her belongings haphazardly into her suitcases in anger.

Everyone in the Gu's mansion was shocked by the dramatic scene. When they saw Yulia struggling with her luggage and stuffing them in the car, Jonas said nothing, but with closer examination, Melinda noticed that it looked as if he was thinking his sister was making a "stupid" decision.

Feeling sorry for Alan and wronged by her brother, Yulia went to Alan's home with her luggage. The moment she saw Alan, she cried,

"Alan."

"What happened, my little Princess? Why are you in such a state? Come on, don't cry."

Alan gently rubbed his thumb across Yulia's cheek, trying to wipe her tears which were trickling like a waterfall, before removing his handkerchief and wiping her face. Then he tagged her hand by the elbow and pulled her to the house. Yulia cried more when he showed her kindness and told him everything that had happened, in between hiccups and wailing. It was a wonder that Alan actually understood what she was saying. She, however, did not inform him that Jonas was carrying out an investigation on him.

"Silly girl, am I really worth quarreling and having a disagreement with your family?"

Alan had expected that this would happen at any time, but he didn't expect that it would happen so soon. Seeing that Yulia trusted him so much, Alan felt relieved.

As long as he had control over Yulia, he didn't have to worry about the future. Everything would work out fine.

"You are worth everything."

Yulia looked at Alan with teary eyes sincerely showing how much she cared about him. The man in front of her had been so kind to her that she had never received so much attention in her whole life.

"Don't worry, this is your home now," said Alan. He directly took Yulia to the master bedroom while carrying in her luggage. His house was not big by rich people's standards, and there were two bedrooms and one living room. The entire house was not much bigger than Yulia's bedroom, but she was still very happy just to be with him.

"Thank you Alan for your hospitality," said Yulia.

Alan comforted her, and then advised her not to be too angry and stiff with her family.

"Alan, I'm scared."

Seeing that Alan was busy transferring his clothes to the guest bedroom, Yulia reached out and grabbed the ends of his shirt tails. Alan stopped and looked at her helplessly.

"Yulia, you must be tired. Have a good rest and then we can talk afterwards."

Yulia held on to Alan's hand tightly, not willing to let him go.

"Come on, be a good girl."

Yulia believed that Alan would never consummate their relationship, because she assumed that he was a very principled person. She thought that he would never agree for them to cross that line before they got married, which convinced Yulia even more that he was the perfect husband.

"Alan, shall we get married?" asked Yulia out of the blue.

Girls were rare bold enough to propose marriage, but Yulia was different. She didn't even realize that it was something that was frowned upon within society. She only thought that as long as she married him, Alan would completely belong to her.

"Yulia, I can't afford to provide for you a comfortable life like the Gu family does."

Yulia hugged Alan tightly and didn't care about money or any of the things he was talking about as long as she was with him.
