Forgive My Ex-husband novel Chapter 62

Jonas was sitting alone and the food on the table remained untouched. Melinda pulled a chair and sat next to him. She knitted her eyebrows and studied his face. He was grumpy and annoyed.

"Why don't you eat something?"

Melinda shook her head, picked some food for Jonas, and a dessert for herself. The chaos had made her ravenous.

When she took a bite and savored its taste, her eyes flitted to Jonas. He was staring at her coldly.

She finally put the chopstick down and stood up to greet Kent and his relatives.

She bid goodbye to them and went home with Jonas. The drive to the villa was quiet and Jonas was still irritable.

Melinda walked into the villa and plopped heavily on the sofa. She heard angry footsteps that vibrated through the carpet.

Jonas stood in front of her, breathing heavily. The collar of his coat was crumpled as if he had been crushing it in anger.

Melinda couldn't understand what was wrong with him. He was annoyed during the wedding and was behaving the same way even after getting home.

Jonas's eyes were fixed on Melinda. He was staring at her almost as if he was trying to read her mind. Melinda shifted on her seat as she became uncomfortable by the intensity of his gaze.

She finally tilted her head and looked at him. The vein on his forehead was pulsing wildly as he was trying hard to control his anger.

She wondered what she had done to upset him. She moved aside and patted on the empty side of the sofa, motioning Jonas to sit down.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked, knitting her eyebrows.

"Wow! So you don't know why I'm upset? Kent is finally married but you're still involved with him. Did you ever think about me?" Jonas growled.

Melinda understood that Jonas was furious because of what Kent said during the wedding. She was annoyed too and didn't put up with him.

Melinda glared at Jonas. She was mad at him for not trusting her. How dare he question her?

"I'm not involved with him. Kent is just my friend," Melinda yelled.

"He is just your friend?

Is that what he is? Then why are you still involved with him?"

Jonas asked, arching an eyebrow. He didn't seem to believe her.

Melinda closed her eyes and blew out a loud breath. She didn't want to argue with him.

She opened her eyes and her face softened. She understood that Jonas was annoyed because he was possessive of her.

Jonas's words were coated with jealousy. He couldn't see her getting closer to Kent.

Melinda's heart bubbled with joy.

She needed to clearly explain her relationship with Kent. Otherwise, Jonas would torture himself thinking about it.

Jonas was incredibly stupid to be insecure because Melinda only cared about him and not Kent. She would never get involved with him.

"What do you want, Jonas?" Melinda asked softly, trying to hide the happiness simmering in her heart.

She was ecstatic to find out that Jonas was jealous.

"I want you to stay away from others, except for me," Jonas said possessively.

The usual arrogance and cockiness were gone. He was vulnerable almost as if he was afraid of losing Melinda.

"I'll stay away from everyone but you. I promise,"

Melinda said sincerely.

Jonas's body seemed to visibly relax.

He nodded and remained quiet.

Having told her what she needed to do, Jonas stood up and left.

Melinda's face broke into a moronic grin as he watched Jonas leave. She clamped her mouth with her hand that muffled her laughter.

Melinda understood that Jonas cared about her but his anger always frightened her.

When Melinda went to her room at night, she saw that Jonas was already lying on the bed with his back towards her.

Melinda understood that he was still angry.

She sighed and lay on the bed next to him.

Jonas was completely still. Melinda smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

She felt his muscles stiffen under her fingers but they seemed to relax immediately. But Jonas didn't utter a word.

Melinda closed her eyes and drifted off to a peaceful sleep with a smile on her face. Melinda's breath was rhythmically blowing against Jonas's neck. He understood that she had fallen asleep.

He rolled closer to her side and held her in his arms.

The morning light bounced off Jonas's face. He didn't realize when he had fallen asleep but as he woke up, he saw that Melinda was resting her head on his chest. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

Jonas closed his eyes and remembered the argument they had the previous night.

He was furious and had asked Melinda to stay away from everyone but him.

His face flustered with embarrassment. He wondered if Melinda had sensed the jealousy in his tone. His mind was clouded with anger and he didn't realize what he was saying.
