Chapter 221 A Chess Piece Full Of Hatred (1/2)

There were only two people left in the bedroom quietly. Jonas wanted to catch up with Melinda and explain, but was stopped by Vern.

Seeing that Melinda was so sad, Vern blamed himself.

It was his fault that Melinda felt uncomfortable.

”Jonas, you're a good boy and you've always been excellent. When my father said he wanted to marry Melinda to you, I thought she must be lucky,”

Vern sighed with emotion. His family was just civilian, and he had a career, but that was to make his family a little rich, which was not able to compare with Gu's family.

At that time, he wondered what irritated Leonard so that he could have such an impossible idea.

When what he thought came true, Jonas's indifferent attitude towards Melinda made him believe that everything was true. Since then, he had been worried that Melinda might have a hard time in the Gu family.

Melinda had always been keeping worries from them and only telling them good news. So many years had passed, but he still knew nothing about the marriage.

”I'm so lucky to have met Linda.”

Jonas always knew that the marriage was unequal in many people's view, but he didn't expect that even Vern thought so.

What kind of pressure did Linda come under when she stayed with him?

”Don't beat around the bush. I only have one question to ask. I hope you can give me a serious answer.”

Vern's eyes became serious, instead of the kind and pleasant look he had had in front of Jonas before. Jonas could not help but straighten his back.

”Is it because of Emily that you divorced from Mellie?”

If Jonas loved someone else, he would never let his daughter suffer this.

”Yes. But it's not because I like Emily, but because Linda's afraid that she might get hurt because of Emily.” Hearing this, Vern looked pale. Jonas explained more clearly, and then Vern's expression became better.

”Dad, you and I can swear that I will only love Linda in my whole life. I don't love Emily at all. It's just a mistake.”

Afraid that Vern might retort him and take the side of Melinda, Jonas said hurriedly.

”Everyone can say sweet words.” Vern hummed coldly and included himself.

”Dad, please trust me. I'll definitely woo Linda again and let her be willing to remarry me.” Jonas had always been a calm person, and now he was even more firm in making a promise in front of Vern.

At the thought of Melinda, Jonas didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. Melinda didn't know how much her father cared about her, though she couldn't see.

”I trust you, son. I just hope that she could think it through as soon as possible,” Vern said with a sigh. Although Melinda looked peaceful, she was very stubborn in her bones.
