Chapter 62 A Quarrel (1/2)

Jonas was sitting alone and the food on the table remained untouched. Melinda pulled a chair and sat next to him. She knitted her eyebrows and studied his face. He was grumpy and annoyed.

”Why don't you eat something?”

Melinda shook her head, picked some food for Jonas, and a dessert for herself. The chaos had made her ravenous.

When she took a bite and savored its taste, her eyes flitted to Jonas. He was staring at her coldly.

She finally put the chopstick down and stood up to greet Kent and his relatives.

She bid goodbye to them and went home with Jonas. The drive to the villa was quiet and Jonas was still irritable.

Melinda walked into the villa and plopped heavily on the sofa. She heard angry footsteps that vibrated through the carpet.

Jonas stood in front of her, breathing heavily. The collar of his coat was crumpled as if he had been crushing it in anger.

Melinda couldn't understand what was wrong with him. He was annoyed during the wedding and was behaving the same way even after getting home.

Jonas's eyes were fixed on Melinda. He was staring at her almost as if he was trying to read her mind. Melinda shifted on her seat as she became uncomfortable by the intensity of his gaze.

She finally tilted her head and looked at him. The vein on his forehead was pulsing wildly as he was trying hard to control his anger.

She wondered what she had done to upset him. She moved aside and patted on the empty side of the sofa, motioning Jonas to sit down.

”What's wrong with you?” she asked, knitting her eyebrows.

”Wow! So you don't know why I'm upset? Kent is finally married but you're still involved with him. Did you ever think about me?” Jonas growled.

Melinda understood that Jonas was furious because of what Kent said during the wedding. She was annoyed too and didn't put up with him.

Melinda glared at Jonas. She was mad at him for not trusting her. How dare he question her?

”I'm not involved with him. Kent is just my friend,” Melinda yelled.

”He is just your friend?

Is that what he is? Then why are you still involved with him?”

Jonas asked, arching an eyebrow. He didn't seem to believe her.

Melinda closed her eyes and blew out a loud breath. She didn't want to argue with him.

She opened her eyes and her face softened. She understood that Jonas was annoyed because he was possessive of her.

Jonas's words were coated with jealousy. He couldn't see her getting closer to Kent.

Melinda's heart bubbled with joy.
