Chapter 216 Perfect Couple
Melinda was the sort of person who didn't like to share her moments with others. Now she suddenly posted something in the moments, and it was a kind of showing love. All of them couldn't help but think
carefully.
Among them, there were Yulia and Emily.
Being hit again and again, Emily was completely lost in home. Melinda was in a good mood and recovered soon. After resting in the hospital for a long time, she finally got the doctor's approval to leave the hospital.
"Although you are discharged from the hospital, you still need to be more careful. If you don't want to go back to the Gu's mansion, you can ask two people to come here to look after you. You can't refuse it." "Your home is small. I rent the opposite one, and the servants live there. If you need anything, just let them know."
Melinda was going to pack up some things, but Jonas had arranged them all. As long as she was back home, she didn't need to worry about anything else.
"You are just discharged from the hospital. Don't hurry to go back to work. Just stay at home and have a good rest." Jonas could not fully concentrate on his work now, and he was worried that Melinda could not take good care of herself alone. If Melinda nodded, he would definitely move here to look after her.
He had to handle the company's affairs, otherwise he wished to protect her 24/7.
"I have told you many times that I can take care of myself. Don't worry about me," Melinda said helplessly. She could not bear to see the black circles around Jonas's eyes.
He had been running on both the company and the hospital and lost a lot of weight, but he was in good spirit compared with before.
"Well, I believe you."
Although Jonas said so, he still acted in his own way.
After staying in hospital for a few days, Melinda felt her body soft. When she got home, she preferred to take a walk in the garden downstairs. Melinda arranged a hanging chair in the position for nourishing the fetus. She liked reading or watching news on that chair at dusk. "Mrs. Jonas, your cell phone is ringing."
The servant ran out of the living room, with her mobile phone in one hand and the spatula in the other. It was a strange number. "Thank you." Melinda took the cellphone from her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she slid the screen to pick up the phone. "Hello, is that Melinda Mo? I'm Greyson."
The name stayed on her mind for a long time before Melinda realized that it was the monitor's name when she was in college. They had never contacted since graduation, and she didn't know how the man found her number.
"Monitor."
"I'm so glad to hear you call me this. We haven't met each other since graduation. There will be a party in our class the day after tomorrow. Are you free that day?"
The monitor was a straightforward person. He came straight to the point and asked. Melinda was surprised. She had never participated in these parties.
"Yeah, we haven't met for a long time. But I have something to deal with recently and can't go. I will make an appointment with you next time." Since Melinda was not very affectionate to her college classmate, she refused to go back because she thought that she had just recovered a little. "Well, okay,"
the monitor said regretfully. Then he changed another topic, and they hung up in a few words.
Melinda didn't take it seriously. Next day, she received a call from Kent, inviting her to attend the classmate party.
"Kent, why will you attend my classmate party?" Melinda was very suspicious. Wasn't this a class gathering?
"There are other seniors in the party. It's a rare chance for us to get together," Kent said in a soft tone, but Melinda couldn't refuse.
"Send me the address later."
Melinda sighed silently in her heart. She finally compromised. She could just pay more attention to it in the party.
Kent was very happy to hear that. He couldn't hide his excitement under the calm tone. "Okay."
Time flied and the party was set at noon. It was in a famous star hotel in A City and there were three tables in total.
Melinda wore a loose creamy white dress and flat shoes. Even without any make-up, her face was rosy. She looked very healthy during this period of time.
"Isn't this Melinda? I almost failed to recognize you after not seeing you for such a long time. Have a seat, please." As the host of this party, the monitor, Greyson greeted to Melinda in a familiar tone, as if they hadn't been separated for years.
"I don't think Melinda has changed a lot. She looks still the same as before. Who would believe that she has graduated from university?"
Seeing that Melinda looked good without any makeup, one of the classmates couldn't help but admire her. Since Melinda had a child, she had been relaxed a lot. She looked younger than those who worked hard for their family and career.
"Even if you want to praise Melinda, you can let her just stand there. There's a seat here. Melinda, come and sit here,"
said Greyson jokingly. People gave way to Melinda to sit down.
"How come Melinda has arrived and Kent has not come yet? Something is wrong," someone whispered, and Melinda was a little embarrassed. Then she heard someone at the next table calling, "There he is." Melinda looked at the door curiously and saw Kent, who seemed a little older than last time he met, appeared in the crowd. He had been through a lot.
This was Melinda's first feeling, and then she sat down quietly.
"Here you are! I thought you would not show up!" Kent's friend came to him and punched him on the shoulder gently.
Kent was in a good mood. He directly took the wine on the table and poured a glass for himself. Then he said apologetically, "I was delayed by something before going out. I will punish myself with this glass of wine."
"One glass is not enough. Three glasses are enough, right?" Those nosy friends began to dig a hole for Kent to jump in.
Kent knew that these people had always been open-minded. If he compromised easily, it would definitely be a disaster for him. So he tried to refuse, and finally he couldn't help drinking three glasses of wine. Kent easily blushed when he drank wine. He had only drunk three glasses of wine, and now his face was a little red.
"It seems that Senior Jiang is not good at drinking. Don't make trouble anymore. Let him take a seat." Greyson walked up to them and spoke for Kent, he finally sat down. The table they had arranged was very subtle, just next to Melinda.
"Senior." Melinda nodded her head and greeted Kent next to her. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they were not too alienated.
"You look good. How are you recently?" Kent stared at Melinda with a perplexed look. His deep love for her had been hidden in his eyes for a long time.
He thought he could forget the face before him, but he couldn't forget it no matter how hard he tried.
"Well, I'm doing well recently. What about you?" Melinda had been living a peaceful and comfortable life for a long time, and now she couldn't help smiling. "Everything is fine."
While saying this, Kent avoided Melinda's eyes. Melinda felt that there was something wrong, but she could not figure it out for a while, so she could only smile embarrassed. "Hi, Melinda. Long time no see."
Kent's roommate who lived with him in the university came to the side of the two. Seeing Melinda, he raised his glass to greet her, Melinda hesitated for a moment and then poured herself a glass of juice. "Long time no see." This person had the manners. Seeing that Melinda did not drink wine, he did not say much, but drank the wine in his glass quickly. At the same time, he looked at Melinda curiously. "It's very rare that you all get together. I'm going to a marriage-seeking for our great master, Kent. How do you girls think?"
As soon as the man finished his words, Kent's sharp eyes ran to him. But he was familiar with Kent, so he didn't feel scared, still laughing.
"Really? Are Kent looking for a woman to marry?"
"I'm afraid he won't like us."
Not long after, many women turned to look at Melinda simultaneously.
Most of these people, who were the good friends of Kent when they were in the University, knew clearly in their hearts how much Kent liked Melinda. When Melinda got married, he was drunk and taken away by a group of people.
When he got married, he also shocked a group of people. However, the situation didn't last long and Kent had divorced.
"Don't listen to their nonsense! I've worked so hard to be single again. I don't want to get married at all!"
What Kent said could be regarded as admitting that he had divorced. Melinda was a little surprised, and Kent did not mention anything about it to her.
For a moment, she had mixed feelings. She felt that the person closest to her was also hiding something from her.
"Don't be like this. You're saying that, but you won't do that when you meet the one you like. Why don't you date with Melinda? In everyone's eyes, you will be a perfect couple."
The friend began to make fun of Kent again, but his tone was serious. Only his friends knew that the reason why Kent would divorce was that he couldn't forget Melinda.
His wife could not endure his betrayal, so she volunteered for a divorce.
She was tough and unyielding.
"Yes, you can be together now. Isn't Melinda single now?"
Her classmates echoed. They liked to see the drama unfold as a good show. Since they were still in the university, Melinda and Kent had been close to each other and often went to the library and study together.
At that time, many people in the school thought they were together. But due to Melinda chasing Jonas so passionately, the rumors about them were less.
Melinda and Jonas had divorced, and so did Kent. Now in the eyes of these people, they should be together. After all kinds of things, they would return to the same place.
"Kent is a good man! He is no worse than that icy man. Melinda, you should think twice." Melinda's roommates began to incite her, but she just sat aside, smiling silently, quietly watching the fun of the crowd.
