Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 32 Showing Love

Although there was no newspaper report about the divorce, those who had known and showed deep

concern on Jonas’s situation knew, because of Holley and Yulia.

The position as Mrs. Gu had attracted so many people, but Nelson seemed to be in the middle of the

Himalayan range. So far, only Melinda had crossed the line alone. Even Emily, who Jonas favored, got

stuck there.

"Please execute your duty as Mrs. Gu cautiously," said Jonas. Melinda's mocking on him was not much

of a gesture, but he took the contract.

"Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you,"

Melinda said with a smile, and then stopped talking nonsense with Jonas. Glancing at the man she

once loved felt like torture now. Just the sight of him made her uncomfortable.

Nelson called Jonas three times daily to ask him about the progress of taking Melinda back. When

Jonas arrived home, he took out the marriage agreement and gave it straight to his grandfather. It

thrilled Nelson, and he was as happy as a child.

"You’ve been reliable once. Throw away what Mellie owned before. Let’s buy brand new ones. Ask

Gavin to arrange a car. You and I will pick her up personally."

The delightful news pleased Nelson. This was the only fortunate thing that had made him cheerful

these days. He even considered Jonas to be less irritating. Jonas had never expected that the old man

would be so vigorous and decisive. It was only a matter of time before Melinda moved back.

Jonas followed Nelson’s request to pick up Melinda in person. Gavin quickly arranged for someone to

buy something latest and fresh for Melinda. When Yulia heard the news, her entire family kept busy

preparing for Melinda’s return.

After returning home, Melinda packed up her things. In fact, she didn’t have much, just a few sets of

simple clothes. Although she would live in the Gu’s mansion, she wasn’t ready to give up her

apartment, where she left many belongings there.

The Gu family was not short on cash. Still, she brought her things back to their house since it was of

little importance to them.

When the doorbell rang, Melinda assumed it was Kent. Opening the door, she saw Nelson grinning at

her. "My child, Grandpa came to take you home," said Nelson lovingly.

Melinda almost cried after hearing his words, but she restrained herself. The Gu’s mansion had never

been her home, but it had Nelson, who loved her most.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

Melinda swiftly stepped aside and let Nelson enter the living room. She ignored Jonas who was

following closely behind.

After seeing that Melinda was packing, Nelson told her that the family had bought extra clothing at

home, and asked her to go back at once. Melinda did not refuse and finally brought just her laptop.

The two hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Nelson missed her so much and kept craving for

affection, which made Melinda feel very guilty. Jonas, who continued to be an invisible man, drove

them back to the mansion.

As he glanced at the cordial atmosphere in the car’s back seat, his mouth curved into a slight smile. If

one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t see it at all.

Gavin worked efficiently. Within a brief period, he had remodeled the bedroom. Yulia was green with

envy. As a member of the Gu family, she didn’t get such special treatment.

Melinda made her way to the mansion again. She felt distant and tensed, and scenes of humiliation

flashed back on her mind.

"Gavin, why did you let this woman in? Aren’t you afraid that she will stain the floors of the mansion

with filth?" Yulia’s voice rang out, full of obvious hatred.

She always took the chance to embarrass Melinda on all occasions, which was still the case. A heavy

silence fell upon the room.

Many people in the mansion wondered whether Melinda’s return had turned over to a more peaceful

situation. Now, they covered their mouths and snickered after witnessing how Yulia humiliated her.

Melinda clenched her fists into knots several times, loosening them after a moment, but did not say a

word.

"Poor Melinda, have you forgotten that you’ve divorced my brother? Or you’re using Grandpa to force

my brother into marrying you again? You’ve used the same trick before, don’t you feel cheap?"

Melinda didn’t contradict her, which made Yulia more cocky. Nelson’s pleasant mood disappeared at

this moment. He frowned heavily, and even the eyes of Jonas flashed with dismay.

He thought Melinda would put up a fight. After all, she was so indifferent at the time of the negotiations.

But he didn’t expect that she would act the same way as before, and just kept silent as things unfold

before her.

"Jonas, it’s such a pity for you to face this woman again." Yulia kept on babbling nonstop. Melinda just

stood there, and no one noticed if she was listening.

She did nothing, but Nelson grew furious. He ultimately won Melinda back, and the last thing he wanted

was for anyone to shame her.

"Yulia, you are old enough. If you keep talking like this, just move out."

Nelson’s words had never been a joke. The mansion was enormous, like a starred hotel. Although not

that high, it was still more luxurious than a hotel.

Yulia was a woman who liked to show off. Why would she be eager to move out? She went silent that

instant. But her eyes, which seemed to speak, stared at Melinda long and hard.

The mood in the mansion became strange again. Nelson sympathized with Melinda, and he also

intended for her to spend more time with Jonas. He let Jonas accompany her back to the bedroom.

"Jonas, I told you I needed my personal space. Do you think it’s proper for us to sleep together?"

Walking side by side, Melinda said after leaving Nelson’s sight. Jonas was stunned for a second. The

separate space in his understanding was a little different from what Melinda meant.

"I don’t have to stay in the main villa. There are a lot of detached small villas here," Melinda said.

She had prepared to move to another villa from the very beginning. There were different kinds of villas

surrounding the main villa, and servants lived in the outermost area.

"I’ll have Gavin arrange it, but in case grandfather suspects, I’ll move in."

In this way, Nelson wouldn’t say anything. His purpose was to create an amiable relationship between

Jonas and Melinda. Maybe he would feel glad with this situation.

Jonas asked Gavin to require servants to clean up an independent villa which was not far and stood

only behind the main villa. Nelson didn’t protest when he heard this.

Gavin had all the newly bought things moved into the villa, which was used to entertain guests. There

was no one occupying the main bedroom, and there was a balcony facing the garden. Melinda loved it

so much that she moved in directly.

On the first night of her stay, she lay sleepless for hours. Early the next day, she saw Gavin brought

breakfast with a servant in tow. Jonas sat on the dining table while reading the newspaper.

"Good morning,"

Melinda greeted him casually and sat down at the farthest seat away from Jonas. Without raising his

head, Jonas set the newspaper aside and said coldly, "Let’s go shopping later."

Melinda swore that if not for her fast reflexes, the milk in her mouth would definitely spill out. She tried

hard to gulp down the glass of milk and looked at Jonas in confusion. The veins on his forehead

seemed ready to burst. He glimpsed at her without saying a word, and she nodded involuntarily.

It wasn’t until the two of them went out that she realized it was all just for show, to emphasize that they

were madly in love. Their shopping spree lasted over two days, and the once empty villa shortly filled

up.

Since Jonas was well off, for him shopping only meant footing the bill.

As long as Melinda lingered in a shop for a while, most of the goods in the shop would be packed

together and delivered straight to the Gu's mansion. The media frenzy was underway after being silent

for a long time. Mr. and Mrs. Gu went out on public to show their affection again, and the headline of

Mr. Gu’s power in spoiling his wife was all over the press.

These days, Jonas’s grandpa was also happy. The reunion had some people thrilled, while others felt

concerned. When Holley read the news, she tore up the newspaper immediately and called Yulia.

Yulia had also been in misery recently. She narrated to her the entire story of Melinda and Jonas. She

kept repeating that Melinda was shameless and that she was harassing Jonas.

"We have to break them up."

"How? She’s pestering my brother every single day, and they went to the mall again,"

Yulia said in a desperate voice. As the delivery of stuffs kept arriving at Melinda’s villa, Yulia felt that all

her insults and disgrace to Melinda at the very beginning lost its meaning.

Unlike Yulia, Holley insisted on sabotaging their shopping moment as soon as she heard this update.

Melinda did not understand what was lacking in her. In recent days, Jonas had flaunted his entire

wealth that he almost wanted to move the mall back.

"Don’t you women always have things you wished to buy?"

Jonas felt confused about this. Melinda wanted to tell him she could wear all the clothes he bought

without wearing a single item repeatedly for an entire year.

"We go shopping for fun, not to loot."

"You mean I’m acting like a mobster?"

Jonas’s tone sounded displeased. Melinda waved her hand and said, "Of course not. Hey, don’t you

want to show your love? Well, do you see the dessert stand over there? I’d like to have an ice cream

cone. Go buy one."

Melinda was clearly intentional. If she didn’t play a practical joke on Jonas at such a relevant

opportunity, she would feel sorry for her pathetic experience in the last five years.

Looking at the lengthy queue, Jonas frowned so much that it deepened into a scowl. Looking at the

innocent smile on Melinda’s face, he felt his fists itching to hit out.

"Jonas, are you here shopping too?"

Holley’s voice crashed the silence. Melinda folded her legs to one side and kept her knees tightly

locked as she looked at Jonas with a teasing smile. Jonas took a deep breath and gazed back at her

with a smile, touching her head fondly.

"If you want an ice cream cone, just tell me. I’ll buy it for you."

With a horrified look, Melinda subconsciously tried to avoid Jonas, but she endured it because of the

presence of Holley. Jonas left to wait in line, and he stood tall among a group of junior girls. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Passers-by took out their mobile phones to take photos. It stunned Holley when she saw the scene.

Was the man lining up to buy ice cream really the Jonas she knew?
