Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 82

Melinda knew that something had changed. She started to feel afraid the moment she felt it.

She wanted more of what she had just received.

Melinda blushed as she buried her face on his chest. It had never occurred to her that she would kiss Jonas so passionately in a foreign country and in broad daylight for everyone to see.

Jonas felt like his heart had suddenly skipped a beat. Melinda's scent engulfed him. He held her tightly in his arms, fingers tense as he struggled to maintain his self-control. He knew that he couldn't just whisk her away back to the hotel, but her scent was addictive.

"Mellie," he purred.

"Yes?" she stammered.

His voice made Melinda's heart pound faster. Still in his arms, she slowly lifted up her head and stared into the depth of his gaze.

The glow in his eyes was as bright as the stars. Nothing around them mattered to him at the moment. He only had eyes for her.

It was as if she meant the whole world to him.

"Mellie, let me take some photos for you." Jonas held up the camera he brought with them for her to see.

"You can take photos?" Melinda inquired.

She thought she already knew Jonas very well, which was why she was a bit surprised as she stared back at him curiously with the new piece of information. Melinda hadn't known that Jonas possessed some knowledge in photography.

"I searched about it online," he told her sheepishly.

He wanted to prepare for this day, so he did his best to master using it quickly. A lot of people said that if you loved someone, you would want to take a lot of good photos of them.

Jonas agreed with the saying.

Melinda obliged and happily posed for Jonas. She went along with him as Jonas took photos of her from a short distance. Once in a while, he would ask random people who passed by to take photos of both of them.

The two of them spent three days in Mauritius. Melinda secretly uploaded all of their photos in her private social account. She still couldn't believe that it was her with Jonas, who were playing on the beach.

For the second phase of their honeymoon, Melinda learned that Jonas had arranged for them a trip to Fiji. It was an island located in the South Pacific which was surrounded by numerous corals.

The three days that they had spent in Mauritius made Melinda feel a little exhausted, so they decided to take a break during their first day of arrival.

Jonas took Melinda to their hotel room to get some rest. The next morning, they went to soak in the hot spring which made Melinda feel invigorated.

Jonas thought that Melinda might still be exhausted from the previous days, so he decided to not rush her into following their itinerary. Instead, he took her to the biggest shopping mall in the area where they suddenly bumped into a person Jonas did not expect to meet.

It was a person from his rival company. What was more unexpected was that the person who accompanied him was not his wife, but instead a young woman with a slender figure. The moment their eyes met, it was evident from the man's expression that he hadn't expected to see him there as well.

Melinda noticed Jonas looking at the man in front of them and wanted to ask if he knew him.

"Mellie, let's try some clothes on," Jonas breathed into her ear before she had the chance. When Melinda had realized that Jonas was talking about couple outfits, she followed him to the boutique excitedly.

It bothered the man when Jonas decided to ignore him.

"Do you fancy that woman?" the woman beside him suddenly asked.

There was no hint of annoyance in her tone. She didn't seem bothered at all with the possibility that her companion might be checking out other women. The man finally broke out from his sudden shock and quickly shook his head in response.

"I thought I just saw an acquaintance," he told her.

"An acquaintance?" the woman repeated and raised her eyebrows in curiosity.

Her gaze shifted towards Jonas and Melinda, who were both currently enjoying themselves, while they browsed through the display of clothes. She didn't believe his words.

The man awkwardly stood there. He was definitely sure that he had just seen Jonas. Did he not recognize him?

He suddenly felt uneasy.

"You're almost done shopping, right? Why don't we head back to the hotel first?" he told her.

The man felt nervous, knowing that he was seen with another woman. He told his wife that he was on a business trip and did not expect to bump into someone he knew while they were in a foreign country.

"Are you ashamed of me because I'm not pretty enough?" The woman frowned and crossed her arms at him.

He quickly reassured her that it was not the case and slowly steered them away from the direction of Jonas and Melinda.

What he failed to see was Jonas putting away his phone as a cunning smile formed around his mouth. He was a businessman after all. How could he ignore an opportunity to acquire something that he could use against his competitor later on?

"Jonas, try this as well." Melinda handed over some clothes to him.

The boutique actually catered to couples. There were various matching outfits to choose from as Melinda wandered around to find several designs that she liked. She pulled Jonas along with him as she browsed through the displays, trying to find the best outfit that matched her.

Jonas ended up buying all of them.

Both of them finally returned to the hotel with a generous amount of shopping bags. As Melinda lay on their bed, her thoughts drifted back to the two people they bumped into today and how Jonas had a weird expression on his face when he saw them.

"Do you know the two people from earlier?" She wasn't able to resist asking.

"Yes," Jonas admitted.
