Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 71

"I see."

Jonas hung up the phone and walked towards Melinda, looking confused. The woman who had fallen asleep earlier was now in high spirits. He thought that he should leave her in the car. Anyway, she woke up after he took a shower.

"Your pure angel asked you out, right?"

Melinda asked with a smile. She hadn't mentioned the term "pure angel" ever since Jonas got furious when he heard it last time. Maybe it was because Jonas's attitude was too good recently, or it was because of the change in her mood that Melinda began to be unscrupulous.

Jonas was undoubtedly not angry. Most of Emily's behaviors during this period made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"She asked me to go with her to the hot spring tomorrow."

"Wow, that sounds romantic."

Her bright eyes made Jonas feel a little guilty. Then Melinda took out her mobile phone and showed him a chat log.

There was a record of instant messaging conversations between Yulia and Emily. Jonas's eyes gradually became dark, and the emotions he suppressed inside were hard to explore.

He felt that the Emily he knew in real life and the Emily speaking in the conversation were two different people. Yulia's attitude towards Melinda remained the same as before. Melinda waited quietly for Jonas to finish reading and then asked lightly, "Are you still going to meet her?"

"I will take you fishing tomorrow,"

Jonas said, giving her his answer.

Melinda smiled with satisfaction and felt some relief in her heart. She feared that Jonas would ask her how she had come into possession of the exchange. She didn't want Jonas to find out what she had done to obtain it.

Emily assumed that Jonas had accepted her offer to meet up. Hence, she arranged things early in the morning and prepared to dress up, especially her swimsuit, hoping for a chance to have sex with him.

She knew Jonas well. If they had made love, Jonas's heart and mind would automatically belong to her.

However, she didn't expect that Jonas would stand her up after she waited for a long time. Emily walked anxiously to their agreed meeting place, but she couldn't go outside to assess the situation due to her public status.

As time went by, Emily continued to wait in vain. The person she was supposed to meet was already fishing with Melinda in a reservoir in the suburb.

Melinda kept mum the whole time. At this point, she found a suitable leisure project. Although Jonas had caught a lot of fish and she didn't make any participation, she still enjoyed herself. It was something of a relief to have a sincerely happy moment between them.

"Oh, I think I caught one,"

she said in surprise, holding her breath and looking at the pole. Melinda felt some movement. The rod dipped again, and she sensed a slight tug on her hands. Jonas felt a sudden attraction to Melinda for a while.

But at this time, Jonas's phone rang. Before Melinda could reel the fish in, it swam away.

"Jonas, you should compensate me for the fish that got away."

Melinda got up angrily, and the stool tottered to the side. Jonas looked at her innocently and then pointed to his bucket, where many fishes were alive and jumping.

"Just pick whatever you like."

Melinda was furious.

The phone call was from Emily. She sounded very resentful and asked Jonas where he was, saying it was getting late already.

"Something suddenly came up, and I can't just leave. Have a good time."

There was no emotion in Jonas's voice. Hearing his impassive words made Emily's heart jumped. There was a hollow feeling in her heart.

Still quite annoyed, Melinda stared hard at the pile of fish, then at her empty bucket, and finally, put down the fishing rod and gave up.

"I think I'm more suited for typing on the keyboard,"

Melinda said vaguely. Jonas smiled but didn't say anything, and he didn't imperil Melinda to Emily. He then sorted out his things, took her to the restaurant, and handed the fish to the people working there.

In addition to losing a fish, Melinda had a gratifying day. She fell asleep in the car on the way back, and Jonas toke her directly to the villa. This time, Melinda didn't wake up but slept until dawn.

Yulia found that the relationship between Melinda and Jonas had improved recently. Jonas took Melinda anywhere she wanted to go when he had a day off from work. When he was busy working, Melinda took the time to cook and would go to his office to bring him food from time to time. Every single day they connected, like a couple in love.

Emily couldn't get hold of Jonas lately, and he always rejected her calls for various reasons.

"Jonas, you've been very kind to her recently."

Yulia's tone was very harsh. Melinda raised her eyebrows as she listened to her and then continued to eat to see what Yulia wanted to say.

"She married you just for money. I saw her flirting with her old lover in the coffee shop the other day."

The old lover she referred to must be Kent. Melinda did go to see Kent two days ago, but his wife was also there by his side. Yulia's eyes might have a little problem since Jonas was also present that day.

As expected, Jonas's expression began to change subtly. Yulia kept on talking, trying to sabotage the relationship between the two people, but Jonas ignored her.

Yulia had no idea what to do. When Jonas was not around, she began to talk about Jonas and Emily in front of Melinda. She kept on aggravating the two sides. One was bright, and the other was dark, but the final result was the same.

"Jonas, I'd like to eat some cakes of Chen's pastry shop and the black tea you made."

"You go to the pavilion first. I'll get the tea."

Jonas was very tolerant of Melinda's sudden request. He asked somebody to buy cakes and prepared tea for his specification in person.
