Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 252 In Forties

The Gu's mansion was in chaos. Jonas carried Queena to the hospital. Nelson sighed while asking people to drive Emily and Jerry out.

When he looked at Jerry, his eyes were very complicated.

Even though Jerry's words were very extreme, he did not say anything wrong. He was the child of the Gu family, and this family belonged to him. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

What's more, it was his disappointing son who made all these tragedies.

Nelson sighed deeply again. He turned around and saw that Melinda was still sitting on the sofa like a puppet.

"Kid, I am sorry to let you witness all these jokes." Nelson came to the side of Melinda and said. His sad face made Melinda very distressed.

There were not many happy things in Nelson's life. Most of the time, he was serious. Today, he finally had a happy moment, but it turned out to be such a mess.

The decoration of the living room was romantic and luxurious, and the fragrance of champagne roses was still filled with the nose, but everything that had been planned was destroyed.

Jonas's ring was ready, and even hidden in a place next to Melinda. The celebration cake in the kitchen had been prepared beforehand, and there was no chance for it to show up at this moment.

All of a sudden, this had turned into a joke.

Thinking of Jonas's anxious look, and Queena's sudden faint, Melinda felt her heart constricted and a pain came from her lower abdomen.

"Grandpa, everything will be fine. Don't worry too much," Melinda comforted him. Vern stood still and watched the whole process. He was deeply shocked by all these things.

"Ah, I'm fine. It's just that I feel sad for Jonas," Nelson said, he had seen so many things in his life, it was impossible for him to be easily knocked down.

On the contrary, Jonas, the carefully planned proposal was gone. His mother was being sent to the hospital for rescue. Everyone who knew him well knew that he would never let off Emily and Jerry easily.

"Gavin, take grandpa to the bedroom for a rest," Melinda said to Gavin. Nelson didn't refuse. He nodded, looked at everything in the living room and sighed deeply.

"Daughter, let's go home."

Vern didn't say anything except a question from the beginning to the end. Now there were only the father and the daughter left in the living room. Melinda looked a little pale.

What had happened just now was too shocking for her, but the actions of Jerry and the faint of Queena still frightened her. The baby in her belly was intuitively felt.

The fetus was alerted. Due to the uncomfortable abdomen, Melinda knew that she had hurt the fetus. Therefore, she didn't move when Jonas had left.

Since it had been a while since the two got along well with each other, it was inevitable for him to worry about her. But now, his mother had to be sent to the hospital.

So, before leaving, he asked Vern to take good care of Melinda.

"Dad, I'm a little worried about Auntie Yao's safety."

Queena had always been healthy, and it was even more frightening for her to suddenly faint. Melinda's browns wrinkled together, her eyes lifeless, full of worry.

"You'd better take care of yourself first." Looking at Melinda, Vern said helplessly. It could not be said that he had no feelings for the Gu family, but this was a family matter of Gu family. He'd better not ask much about it.

Looking at his daughter's pale and stubborn face, Vern felt a sense of helplessness. He went to the sofa, stretched out his hand and said jokingly, "I'm old now. I can't carry you, but I can hold you."

His hands were not as delicate as they were when he was young as time went by. Melinda's eyes became red. She sniffed and sobbed, "Who says you're old? It's me who gain weight because of eating and eating. But it doesn't matter. You can carry the baby when the baby is born."

"Well, can we go home now, the baby's Mommy?" Seeing how sentimental Melinda was, Vern did not know whether to cry or to laugh. He thought his child was somewhat innocent.

Melinda didn't dare to neglect her baby. Obviously, the Gu's mansion wasn't fit for a rest. There was nothing she could do to help, and she would only make people busier.

She didn't leave the Gu's mansion with Vern until she felt better.

Vern had been picked up by Jonas. Now the two of them left, Melinda asked Gavin to arrange a driver to send them off. Vern took Melinda directly to his home.

"The baby in your womb got hurt today. How about going to the hospital for a check-up?"

The father and the daughter both sat in the back seats. Melinda leaned on her father as if she was a kid, with hands on her belly. It was really a wonderful feeling for the three generations to be together.

"It's okay. The baby did not do anything."

Melinda stroked her belly with her hands. She had suffered a lot to have this baby after going through so many hardships. She had learned the secret that Jonas had hidden from her since she had been pregnant.

It was difficult for her to conceive, so it was hard for her to be pregnant. It was better to have a good rest quietly, or it would be easy to affect the fetus.

"We'd better go to the hospital." Thinking of Melinda's sullen face, Vern was still a little worried, and his worried look made Melinda laugh.

"Don't worry. I'll have an antenatal check in two days." She knew her own body very well. Hearing that, Vern didn't say anything more. Both of them returned to Vern's place in silence.

Although Melinda smiled, she still looked worried. It was obvious that she was worried about Queena.

Her father cleaned her room and kept her stuff every day. As soon as Vern entered the room, he urged Melinda to go to bed.

He seemed to have something on his mind, but Melinda didn't ask. Her father was a little dull. There were things he didn't want to say that he could hide from her for a lifetime.

Vern poured a glass of milk for Melinda and started to clean up the mess to get rid of the trouble in his mind.

But thinking that this matter would have a lifelong impact on his daughter, he couldn't help but knock on the door.

"Mellie, are you asleep?"

Melinda was reading books to ease her worries and anxieties, but she just couldn't read for a long time.

"Dad, come in. The door is unlocked," Melinda said to her father at the door, and then she saw her father coming in wearing a simple set of home clothes.

With a mop in his hand.

"Father, the hourly cleaner will deal with the housework tomorrow. You don't have to do this," Melinda said quickly as soon as she saw that. Vern was not as healthy as before after he fell ill, and she had been worried that he would be unable to take care of himself by himself, so she had hired an hourly cleaner.

"It doesn't matter. I have nothing else to do."

While saying, Vern moved the chair in front of Melinda, put the mop aside, and sat on the chair. He looked at Melinda with a somewhat complicated expression, and finally opened his mouth, "Mellie, are you going to move back to the Gu's mansion today?"

"Yes."

Melinda was a little disappointed, complaining in her heart that Jonas had said that it must be a good day today, but a lot of things had happened. She really didn't know who had said to Jonas that today was a good day.

"You've seen the tragedy today. I don't care what kind of things Jonas's father had done when he was young, but, Mellie, when you are in your forties, are you sure that Jonas will not act like his father?"

Vern was a man, so he felt that he knew more about men. Growing up in such a family, Jonas had deep understanding of the word "family" and whether he had value for family.

Would he be like his father who didn't care about how his family was?

Gene could be a magical thing sometimes. Since Jonas's father was so fickle, it was hard to ensure that such a fickle seed was not planted in Jonas.

And the one called Emily, who appeared today, was just the lover of Jonas?

The safety in the Gu's mansion was good. Why did Emily come in so easily? Was it a coincidence?

In a word, Vern was not as determined as he was before. He used to hope that Melinda and Jonas could get along well, but now he felt that Jonas might not be reliable.

Sometimes, marriage was not only a matter between two people, but also a matter between two families.

It never occurred to Melinda that her father would ask her such a question. The first thought that came to her mind was Emily, which she could not bear.

Even though Jonas had proved to her for many times that his feelings for Emily was not love, and he probably would like to kill her now, due to his status, Jonas must have a lot of women who approached him. Plus, Emily was just one of them. Before her, there was Holley, or many whom Melinda didn't know.

The pregnant woman had a sensitive mind, which made Melinda uneasy again. But thinking of what Jonas had done, she fell into deep thought again.

She didn't speak, nor did her father. Vern just looked at her, hoping that she could think about what he had said carefully.

"Dad, I don't think Jonas will do that. I trust him."

She had made a promise to believe in Jonas, so how could she be wavering only because of one thing?

Although she showed her trust verbally, she was still nervous in her heart.

There was no absolute in love, and Melinda was deeply aware of it. Hearing this, Vern was a little helpless, but still persuaded, "I think you have to consider remarrying him again."

If they remarried again, they would have married for three times. As the saying went, "Things should not be failed for more than three times." Would Jonas let her down at the last time?

Melinda asked herself in her heart, but she didn't know the answer. Every time she was with Jonas, it was like a gamble.

"Dad, don't you support us being together?" Melinda couldn't help but think of her father's urging to the two of them. She also remembered the last time that Kent came to their house, her father tried every means to compare and disappoint Kent with Jonas.

For him, there was no better son-in-law than Jonas.

"I do like this child, but this is your life, I hope you can think it over." Without his previous insistence, Vern analyzed the whole thing from the perspective of Melinda.
