Chapter 225 Stay For A Night
Kent was still worried when he returned home. He was afraid that Emily would use other means.
Emily was waiting for the good news at home, but it turned out to be Kent's call.
"Emily Bai, what do you want from Mellie that you ask her out today?" questioned by Kent angrily. Emily was stunned for a while, and then she realized that it was Kent.
She had suffered a great loss in the hands of Kent, so she was deeply impressed.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Emily was a little worried. Logically, no one should know that she asked Melinda out. But why did Kent call her? Had something happened to Melinda!
She was pleasantly surprised, but she was also confused. If there was something wrong with Melinda, why did Kent speak in such a tone?
Or, he was in no mood to call anyone else?
"Don't try to do something to Mellie, or I will make you regret." Kent now felt a little regretful for having let go of Emily last time.
But the evidence was still in his hands, and Emily was also afraid of the evidences in his hands.
Although she was utterly discredited, what Kent got about her could put her into jail.
"Today, I just want to talk with Melinda about Jonas. I don't have any plan. I have been waiting in the coffee shop for a long time."
Emily maintained calm so that Kent would not discover her scheme. And she showed a trace of fear on purpose. She had been waiting in the coffee shop for a long time, but she did not dare to ask Melinda. Kent snorted coldly and hung up.
Emily's eyes were blazing with anger. She stared at the phone and thought, 'You'd better wish that I don't have any proof in my hand, otherwise, I will make you pay for it!'
"What's wrong?" Jerry had been waiting for the result of the matter beside Emily. Seeing that Emily was not happy at all, he guessed that something might have happened.
"Our plan failed. That bitch didn't go to the coffee shop," Emily said angrily. Their plan which had been prepared for a long time was easily ruined by Kent.
All her illusions were shattered in an instant.
"Haven't you reached an agreement with each other?"
"How would I know?"
Jerry's agitated questioning annoyed Emily. The things didn't go well and she was threatened by Kent. There was not a good thing.
In the Soaring Group, when Jonas came back from outside, he heard many people talking about the event that Melinda and Kent appeared in the grand pagoda, and how they behaved intimately. William closed his eyes, feeling that he was about to explode when he heard that.
If Jonas was angry, he would never forgive those people around him. And he would be the first one.
Those who had a good time talking about this matter all stopped talking when they saw Jonas return to the company. William secretly remembered their names.
Those guys had to lose their bonus for the next three months for they made William suffer from Jonas's anger.
"William, you go arrange the meeting in advance tomorrow."
"Yes, sir." William felt something was wrong. Shouldn't boss be at rage after entering the office? Why did he act so calm?
In order to keep himself safe, William was so quick that there was only Jonas left in the large office.
Jonas tried to remind himself to calm down and figure things out in a general way. There must be something that Melinda and Kent showed up in the grand pagoda.
He hurried back and forth in the office, grasping the cellphone tightly in his hand.
He took off three buttons of his shirt and threw his suit on the sofa. His hair was in a mess now.
Linda must have reasons behind this. It must be.
What could have made the pregnant Melinda run so far away to the grand pagoda? Jonas retorted himself impatiently.
Recently, Melinda began to have pregnancy reactions. Her face was rather bad and she was basically at home when resting. It was really abnormal for her to go out. Finally, Jonas couldn't help but dial Melinda's number.
The phone was not answered for a few seconds. The sound hit Jonas on the heart, and he gradually calmed down.
"Hello."
"Linda, are you asleep?"
Melinda's voice was a little hoarse, like she just woke up. It could almost be imagined for Jonas that she was in leisure wear.
She was like a little kitten.
"No. But I'm a little sleepy." Melinda yawned. After returning home, she wrote a lot of manuscript. She habitually read a parenting book. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she received a call from Jonas. "Did you go to the grand pagoda today?"
Finally, Jonas couldn't help asking. He felt that he would be suffocated if he didn't ask, and he was aware of something from the contradictions in these times.
That was, many things, just because they hid their true emotions, caused misunderstandings among each other.
"Yes, Emily made an appointment with me."
Since Jonas was so sincere, Melinda decided to tell him the truth. With what Kent said, she thought it was necessary for Jonas to know about the matter. "Why are you going to see her? Just ignore her from now on. Got it?" The point of Jonas was suddenly changed, reminding Melinda to stay away from Emily. He had accidentally fallen into the trap set by Emily. Melinda was too stupid to stand it.
It was not because Jonas had no confidence in his wife, but because his enemy was too disgusting.
"I see. But thanks to my senior, I would have gone there without his warning. He sent me home today."
It was not until then that Jonas remembered that. He would almost forget that if Melinda did not bring it up.
"You can call me next time. You know, Kent is very busy. Don't bother him all the time." Jonas was really jealous.
He thought that Melinda told the whole thing to Kent and didn't tell him, but he didn't know that it was just a coincidence.
However, he felt a little satisfied as he knew that Melinda trusted him since she told everything to him.
But he was too jealous to enjoy it.
"I met senior by accident this time."
Melinda didn't hear the jealousy in Jonas's tone and just told the truth indifferently.
However, Jonas was now overwhelmed with jealousy, and Kent was like a thorn in his heart. "Senior? You address him so intimately," said Jonas.
Melinda had been calling him Jonas Gu recently. He thought sourly, in fact, it was also a hint that Melinda should change the way she called him, as Jon which she used to call was very good. Once Melinda call him Jon, he would be satisfied.
However, the reality was not that wonderful. Instead of calling him Jon in a friendly way, Melinda hung up the phone directly.
Melinda just felt confused. She had called Kent senior for so many times, not just for one day or two days. Jonas always wanted to make himself sad.
Jonas looked at the phone in disbelief, showing that it had been hung up by Melinda.
"Boss, I've informed the staff. The meeting will begin in ten minutes." William pushed the door in and informed the process, only to find that the boss's face was gloomy. He immediately zipped his mouth and shut it.
"The meeting will be on as I planned before."
Jonas picked up his coat from the sofa and left the office, leaving William alone in the office.
He had just called up these people who were going to have a meeting and reminded them to hurry over.
Then the boss told him that the meeting would be held as planned, William had felt that he would be alone to face the horrible scene of how higher leaders were saying vicious words to him from all directions. "Why does boss gradually treat me as dirt?" William muttered to himself, thinking whether he should send those people a message and go home first.
Jonas had been galloping all the way, finally he was stuck in the traffic jam.
Jonas kept driving and didn't reach the end of the cage of cars. He had called Melinda several times, but nobody answered, which made him feel even worse.
After hanging up the phone, Melinda did not feel sleepy, but a little hungry, and the servant hadn't returned to the opposite apartment.
"Auntie, is there anything to eat at home? I'm a little hungry."
Melinda touched her belly with embarrassment. Due to morning sickness these days, she had no appetite at all.
"We guessed that you would be hungry tonight, so we had edible bird's nest. You eat first. What else do you want to eat, I'll prepare now."
The servant went to the kitchen with a smile and brought out the bird's nest soup. The Gu family had sent many tonics, which were all good stuff.
They also liked their young lady very much, who had a good temper and was polite to them. This was also the reason why they were very concerned about Melinda from the bottom of their hearts.
"You can cook something random for me." Melinda didn't know what to eat for a while. The servants knew her taste and she just asked them to decide.
They knew a lot and were all her favorites.
The servant went to the kitchen to prepare food for her. Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Melinda was reading a book while eating bird's nests.
The doorbell rang loudly. Seeing the servant was busy with cooking, Melinda put down the bird's nest soup and went to open the door herself. "Why are you here?"
Melinda took a look at the clock on the wall. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. Jonas had already calmed down. Seeing that Melinda had a bad look on her face, Jonas could not say what he had prepared to say.
"I come to see you." Melinda felt it odd. "It's late now. You already see me. Go back and have a good rest now," she said.
"I miss you, Linda,"
said Jonas in a gentle and soft way, as if there was a spring breeze in his throat.
All of a sudden, Melinda's cheeks turned red. Trying to keep herself calm, she said, "Okay, I know."
"The baby must miss his daddy too," Jonas said again as he stared at Melinda expectantly. "Let me stay with our baby a little longer, okay?" he continued.
Melinda bit her lips and finally nodded reluctantly.
Jonas smiled suddenly, and the innocence on his face made Melinda sink into deep thoughts. All this time, she had given too little to him.
So even a small thing could make Jonas so happy.
