Chapter 32 Showing Love (1/2)
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.
