Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 265 Agreed To Go Home

It was not until now that she remembered those things which were deliberately ignored that she realized how simple her previous thoughts were.

After an uneasy day in the company, Melinda didn't go back to her own home in the evening. Instead, she went to her father's house.

Seeing Melinda, Vern felt a little strange. He asked directly, "Why do you come here at this time?"

It was rare for Melinda to come here without telling him, so he asked. Melinda curled her lips. If she was not sure that she was her biological daughter, her father's attitude would likely make her think that she was adopted.

Vern, who was usually careless, didn't have such an idea at all. He just took out a lot of food that Melinda liked.

Looking at this scene, Melinda felt that her father's love for her had always been in silence.

What about Jonas? Would he love the unborn baby this much in the future?

Or, just like his own father, Jonas had no idea about what a family was.

Thinking of what had happened to Jerry, Melinda felt scared.

"Dad, I think the baby is growing bigger," Melinda said while touching her belly. She couldn't be found out without careful observation a few days ago. Now even though her clothes were loose now, it was a little obvious.

Melinda felt helpless. Vern looked at her and knew that she was in a dilemma. On that day, he saw Jerry coming to the Gu family, and he had a knot in his heart.

She was afraid that everything would happen again.

But this kid had become the biggest trouble at the moment.

"I can't help you with that. It's a big deal for you. You have to think it over," Vern said, making tea for himself while Melinda picked up the snacks on the table and fed herself.

She came here as soon as she got off work, so she hadn't had dinner yet.

"I don't know what to do." Melinda was desperate. It was almost a dead end that she couldn't survive without a sharp scissor.

Looking at his daughter, Vern was infuriated, but he couldn't do anything to her.

"Do you still want to go back and live a good life with Jonas now?" Vern changed a different way to ask her, and sure enough, Melinda began to think about it.

Although Jonas acted like a good husband and lived a life with her, her previous experience told her that all these may be temporary.

"Not really,"

said Melinda. She could not help but recall those years, which she had better not experience again.

Hearing what she said, Vern could not help but roll his eyes. What was the child thinking?

"If you don't want this child, solve it as soon as possible to avoid suffering," said her father. Vern would never agree to let Melinda be a single mother.

She was able to raise the child alone, but all the rumors outside could beat a person.

"I want the baby," Melinda said without hesitation. She even showed the posture that protecting her own child, as if her father was an executioner. "If you want this child, you should give him a complete family and live a good life with his father, Jonas," Vern said, glaring at Melinda. It was said that parents who had given birth would care for their child for a lifetime. Now it seemed to be totally right to him. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Looking at her father in some grievances, Melinda wondered if she really wanted to be with Jonas because of the child.

Would this kind of relationship really last long?

Vern did not say much. He just let Melinda sit on the sofa alone, lost in thought. Then he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. He was much better now. These things were done by himself.

However, Melinda had made the decision before he got ready.

She could give a chance to Jonas for the sake of her child.

"Agreed?" Vern squinted at Melinda. Thinking of her attitude just now, he still felt that his daughter was a little simple.

But he had no choice. This was her own choice.

If there was anything that Vern regretted the most, it might be that he let her go to A City to study in a university and made acquaintance with Jonas.

"Yes." Melinda's voice was much more determined than before. Vern put aside what he was doing and called Jonas directly.

Jonas answered the phone from his father-in-law quickly and was polite on the other side.

Hearing that, Vern was a little happier. Taking a look at his daughter, who was still sitting on the sofa, he asked slowly, "Are you free now?"

"Yes," replied Jonas, still confused.

His father-in-law asked him to come out, even if he didn't have time he had to create time. Those people looked at Jonas weirdly, thinking that today's meeting would probably be cancelled.

"If you have time, come to my house and pick up Linda." Hearing her father's words, Melinda ran her fingers through her hair unnaturally. She felt like she was a child who was at odds with her father.

Now that she didn't feel unhappy, he asked someone to take her back.

Sitting on the other end of the line for a long time, Jonas wondered the meaning of his words, wondering whether it was Linda who had a quarrel with Vern.

"Dad, that's how Linda is. If she gets willful, you can scold me. It's all my fault. I'm coming to pick her up," Jonas said. He gestured to William and left in a hurry. As expected, the meeting was over.

Vern was speechless again. He was misunderstood by his daughter, and now by Jonas.

"Linda agrees that she will live a good life with you. Now, come and pick her up," Vern repeated and hung up the phone angrily.

It was already unbearable for him to hand his own daughter to another man, and their attitude towards him now upset him a lot.

However, Jonas didn't think too much at the moment. All he thought about was that Linda had agreed to be with him.

Jonas told this news to Nelson at the first time. He was very happy, and Queena began to prepare for her coming back.

This matter had been delayed for so long because of Jerry's appearance.

For the first time, Jonas felt that it was a long journey to Vern's home. He wished he could appear in front of Melinda right away and tell her that he was taking her home.

Meanwhile, Melinda, in Vern's house, began to fidget. At last, she walked back and forth in the hall, which made Vern's eyes ache.

"Just sit here. He will be here soon. If you can't wait any longer, go downstairs and walk yourself," Vern said in an unhappy tone, for he was quite annoyed that his daughter couldn't wait to meet another man.

"Dad, I didn't mean that." Melinda hugged her father and leaned against him.

Since she was a child, she had always felt that her father's back was the most solid, but also the most rare one. She didn't spend much time with his father, because most of the time she stayed in the countryside to follow her grandparents.

"Dad, I was just a little flustered as I thought that I would live with this man for the rest of my life."

She had never experienced such a feeling. She had only felt happy when she could be with Jonas because she had been too simple at that time.

Now she understood that when two people were together, it was not only their own business, but also their families'.

"Don't worry. You have me here," Vern said as he patted her shoulder, knowing that Melinda lacked a sense of security.

Hearing this, tears streamed down her face in an instant.

"Well, I have you. If he dares to bully me, I'll bring my child back with me and support him by you," Melinda said. Her father was a little loath to part with her. But Vern still stubbornly said, "You are going to be a mother. Don't you feel ashamed to let your father afford you?"

"I don't care. I'm your little princess,"

Melinda said in a stubborn tone. Only in front of her father could she say that confidently.

When Jonas arrived at the apartment, he saw the reddened eyes of Melinda.

"What's wrong? Are you crying?" After greeting with Vern, Jonas went up to comfort Melinda. His gentle appearance made Vern feel better.

A person would cherish what he or she lost. He hoped that Jonas would treat Melinda like this in the future.

"Nothing," Melinda said while shaking her head. Her resolute determination was shaken now, but when she saw Jonas's anxious attitude, her mood was alleviated gradually.

"Jonas, will you take good care of me and my baby?" Melinda looked at Jonas and asked confusedly. She was afraid of the future and the gap between them, but she couldn't help but want to have some promises.

Melinda was struggling.

"I swear with my life that I will protect you and the baby," said Jonas, looking at Melinda seriously.

Jonas knew that it was probably something about his father that had slightly traumatized Melinda.

But he would never let that happen.

"You are a steady child. I can rest assured that you will take care of Linda. Let bygones be bygones. If you fail Linda, don't act like you did before and just call me directly. I'll take care of my daughter. I'll pick her up,"

said Vern, tears rolling down again from Melinda's eyes. She tried so hard to hold it back every time when she wanted her father to come and pick her up.

On hearing her father exhorting Jonas this time, she felt even more deeply that she was loved by someone.

"Dad, I won't let it happen." With his firm and resolute eyes, Jonas seemed to convince Vern, who nodded and then looked at Melinda.

He wanted to urge them to go back early, but he didn't want to.

This time, Melinda would really go back.

At this time, Jonas's phone rang. It was from the Gu's mansion. Queena asked where they were going, and Nelson had been waiting for Melinda at the door of his house, asking him what would Melinda like to eat, and asking the servants to prepare it in the kitchen.

"Well, you can go back early." Vern waved goodbye to the two of them and went to the dining room. A lump came into Melinda's throat again.
