Chapter 40 Got Drunk (1/2)

Jonas rarely had barbecue dinners. He couldn't help grumbling in his heart when he saw Melinda gobble the food down. Yet, he started to enjoy it seconds later.

It was the perfect night for Melinda. Everything about the night seemed beautiful. The cool breeze, salty air, and the delicious dinner made her happy. Melinda rubbed her bulging stomach that was stuffed with food and let out a burp. She smiled. The wind played with her hair as she walked back to the villa.

The starry night added a mysterious charm to the beautiful villa. Melinda stayed at the balcony and stared at the sky.

The breeze carried a chillness with it and Melinda braced herself.

She felt awkward to go back to the bedroom but Jonas didn't bother about what she was thinking. He was exhausted and his eyes were begging him to go to sleep.

So he quickly went to the bathroom, took a relaxing shower, and drifted off to a peaceful sleep as soon as he hit the bed.

The next morning, Melinda's eyes fell on a sports car on the seaside track. There was no food in the fridge and Jonas took Melinda to the supermarket to buy groceries and daily essentials.

Jonas was new to this and had no idea about managing household chores.

Melinda preferred home food, so she loaded her cart with everything she would need to cook. Out of habit, she picked Jonas's favorite things as well.

Although it meant nothing to Melinda, Jonas couldn't help but smile at her thoughtfulness. That one small gesture meant a lot to him.

”Mr. Jonas, you know how to arrange the food items in the fridge, don't you?”

Melinda asked as she held the two shopping bags, grinning sheepishly.

Jonas pursed his lips and didn't argue. He had intended to maintain peace and harmony with Melinda and didn't want to fight with her over a trivial issue.

Melinda understood Jonas and kept a safe distance from him. The person who Emily had arranged to break their relationship became worried as there was not much scope to create problems between them.

There seemed to be no need to ruin their relationship as there was no chemistry between Melinda and Jonas.

Although Jonas had no experience in dealing with the household chores, he reluctantly stuffed the things into the fridge. Once he finished arranging everything, Jonas went to look for Melinda. She was in the balcony, immersed in writing her novel.
