Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 71 Exposed

"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.

The two people, like air, ignored Yulia. Jonas's attitude towards Yulia was so evident that he

intentionally avoided and dismissed her.

Seeing the two leave, Yulia found a corner where no one was there and called Emily.

"They have been staying at home all the time, and my brother is on the lookout for me."

"Jonas is on the lookout for you?"

"Yes, do you have any clue if we've exposed a certain part of our plan? I have a feeling that they have

discovered it. What should we do now?"

"Don't overthink. This matter..."

Emily said. She couldn't lose Yulia since she was her insider.

"Yulia!"

Suddenly, there was an angry voice from Jonas on the phone. In a hurry, Emily hung up, and Yulia

stood frozen in place.

Behind her, there appeared Melinda and Jonas, who she assumed were already in the pavilion.

Melinda's face was full of satisfaction and peace. She had long suspected that Yulia would call Emily.

It turned out that they had prepared for today's scene. The dessert and drink were just a cover to let

Yulia slacken her alertness.

Yulia was in the backyard every time she made a phone call, and Jonas found that the tea set was Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

missing after he took out the tea leaves. So Melinda led him to the yard and witnessed this.

"Jonas... Jonas, why are you here?"

Yulia found herself somewhat tongue-tied, and her throat parched. Her hand dripped the phone tightly.

Layers of cold sweat came out of her forehead, and her head spun rapidly, thinking of defense to

mislead them.

"Should you explain to me what happened?"

Jonas reached out his hand and grabbed Yulia's arm. The phone fell to the ground, so Melinda picked

it up. The recent call record showed Emily's name.

"Yulia, when did you get to know Emily? Your relationship seems close since you have communication

with each other so often."

"Don't touch my phone, Melinda."

Yulia, who didn't dare say anything to Jonas, treated Melinda with complete arrogance. Then she felt

the atmosphere turned chilly. The eyes of Jonas were like frost, which made her tremble all over.

"Exasperating, right?"

Melinda asked jokingly and then dialed Emily's number. Nobody answered the receiver for a long time.

Yulia's heart raised to her throat with each ring.

Seeing that no one answered, Yulia was relieved.

"Jonas, use your phone."

Melinda returned Yulia's mobile phone to her and then reached into the corner of Jonas's clothes.

Jonas let go of Yulia and directed her to the hall.

Yulia followed in silence, feeling jittery.

Nelson also heard about this matter. At this time, he was sitting in the hall, looking at Jonas

horizontally. He was very distressed and took away Melinda. "My child, you have been misrepresented

again."

"Grandpa, it's not clear yet."

"There's no need to figure it out. I think that woman designed the whole plan."

Nelson didn't like Emily, and everyone knew about it. But this was the first time that he had such an

attitude. If it were in the past, Jonas would oppose him outright, but now he could only listen to him

today.

Emily answered the phone call of Jonas though she was a bit reluctant.

"Jonas,"

Emily said in a low voice. "Emily, why did you let Yulia monitor Melinda?" Jonas opened his mouth

under the gaze and earshot of everyone.

"Jonas, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. Could you forgive me?"

"Give me a reason."

"Jonas, I love you so much that I can't bear to see you stuck with someone you have no feelings for, so

I came up with this idea. Jonas, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."

It was a sad cry. Those who heard it might even shed tears, but Melinda sneered. No wonder Emily

was the first-line actress, she could weep with the snap of a finger.

"In the future, don't let such a person full of bad intentions come in direct contact with our Gu family.

Gavin, freeze all the cards of Yulia. Don't let her go out without my order."

Nelson had never been so infuriated. Melinda hurriedly rubbed his back to help him breathe smoothly,

and also advised him to calm down. For Nelson's illness, he couldn't get too emotional.

Emily's face turned pale, and she realized what had happened. Jonas hung up the phone calmly, and

Gavin took Yulia back to the bedroom.

"Keep an eye on Yulia. Don't let her keep in touch with Emily,"

Nelson continued to speak uneasily. He needed to be on guard against the scheming Emily.

The whole thing happened around Melinda, but she was like an onlooker when they dealt with it.

"You're the only one who thinks that Emily is innocent. Look at this woman here. She's a nice lady,"

Nelson scoffed at Jonas. Melinda, standing between the two guys, felt powerless. One of the

bodyguards of the Gu's mansion went in at this time, bringing news that surprised everyone. Someone

at the door wanted to see Jonas, and the person's identity was highly controversial.
