Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 142 Meeting In The Cafe

Melinda followed Yulia to the coffee shop she was talking about.

The shopping mall was filled with so many people. The coffee shop was on the first floor, right next to

the supermarket.

The bustling crowd caused Melinda a little discomfort. Meanwhile, Yulia was looking around and

searching for something.

At the coffee shop, Emily and Jonas were sitting opposite to each other, even though none of them

spoke to each other.

"Jonas, have you been busy lately?" Emily asked as she stirred her coffee.

She was constantly looking down, as if she had no courage to look up to the man sitting opposite to

her.

Jonas, as usual, was wearing a suit. This time, however, he didn't wear a tie and combed up his fringe

on his forehead.

"Yes," Jonas answered.

There was nothing in front of Jonas because he didn't want to waste too much time here.

The only reason why he was here today was that Emily told her that she wanted to take out the token

they talked about during their childhood.

Since the "token" was important, Jonas had to accept it. But even after staying there for a long time,

Emily hadn't bring the token out yet.

"Excuse me, I have to go to the washroom," Emily said.

Emily couldn't handle any more of Jonas's skeptical looks. She simply made up an excuse and left.

The coffee shop looked very simple. It had no washroom, so she had to go to the mall's washroom.

She also needed to wear a pair of big glasses and a hat so that she wouldn't be recognized.

Although many people didn't recognize her, Melinda recognized Emily's figure.

Melinda's face crumpled into a frown. She had a feeling that something bad would happen when she

saw Emily.

"Melinda, what are you looking at? The coffee shop is over there," Yulia said, waving her hands in front

of Melinda's eyes. Then, she followed the direction where Melinda's eyes were looking. It was Emily.

She pretended to be surprised and asked Melinda, "Is that Emily?"

She instantly covered her mouth as soon as she finished speaking. After all, Emily was a little famous.

As expected, people began to look around.

"Let's go."

At this moment, Melinda calmed down and went towards the coffee shop. The coffee shop was busy at

this time. Most of the seats were already taken.

It was so noise that nothing else could be heard. A loud surrounding in a supposedly quiet place was

very irritating.

The boss was going to cry if ever the coffee shop got really quiet.

Melinda actually didn't notice that Jonas was there when she entered. The coffee shop had many

entrances. Two of those entrances were diagonally opposite to each other.

Yulia, on the other hand, was looking around. Soon enough, she found Jonas.

She got another message from Emily.

"Melinda has seen you," Yulia texted back to Emily.

She quickly put her phone away. When Emily received the text, she immediately walked towards the

coffee shop.

Emily believed that Melinda's hatred for her couldn't be changed. Seeing that Emily was headed

towards the coffee shop they were in, Melinda suddenly became alert.

She fixed her gaze at Emily.

Jonas was focusing on his work while he was alone in the coffee shop. After Emily left him there, all he

had been doing was finishing documents on his mobile phone.

As Emily slowly approached Jonas, she suddenly lost her balance and embarrassingly fell to the

ground. She even bumped into a waiter who was passing by.

"Ah!" Emily cried out.

The waiter was shocked. Melinda, who was still staring at Emily, was also shocked when she saw

Emily suddenly fall like that.

But when the familiar figure appeared in her sight, her heart suddenly became cold. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

It seemed that she was hearing a thousand taunts again.

'Look, you are too serious. It's just another joke.'

Jonas looked up and saw Emily on ground not far away from him. The waiter stood there at a loss and

didn't even bother to help Emily up.

A pair of handsome black leather shoes appeared in Emily's sight. Emily could see her own shadow

projected on the ground under the warm lights of the coffee shop.

"Jonas," Emily cried out in grievance.

'Emily is a public figure. I'd better help her up,' Jonas thought. He was a little upset and had a frown on

his face.

He slowly squatted down. He held Emily up, but he still kept his distance from her.

Emily turned her head and looked at the direction where Melinda was. Not far from Emily and Jonas,

Melinda was staring at the both of them with a sour expression on her face. She was clearly baffled

with everything that was happening.

Emily quickly put her hands around Jonas's neck and kissed him while he was caught off guard.

Melinda's eyes widened in shock. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. Even though she tried to

endure looking at the scene, she couldn't help but look away.

Jonas's kiss was as cold as it was expected. Before Emily could make another scene, Jonas violently

pushed her aside.

He looked at her in disgust and wiped his lips with his hand. Emily's heart sank, and the first thing she

did was look for Melinda. But she had turned his head away.

That meant that Emily got what she wanted.

"Jonas, I'm sorry," Emily softly said.

She stood up and found that she sprained an ankle.

Nothing could possibly make Jonas forgive Emily. He just stood there with an intimidating posture.

Unfortunately for Emily, Jonas could never like a person like her.

Still feeling regretful, Emily held the seat beside her and limped.

"Jonas, I know you're going to cut me off for Melinda's sake," Emily said to pity herself even more. She

just couldn't accept the fact that Jonas didn't like her.

She knew she couldn't give up. After all, she once had him.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it," Emily said.

Then she took out the token from her bag and put it on top of the table while she looked at Jonas with

deep affection.

"Here you go. From now on, I won't bother you ever again," Emily said.

She quietly watched the people coming in and out of the coffee shop.

Meanwhile, Melinda was sitting in another corner inside the coffee shop. Her coffee had already cooled

down. Sitting opposite to her was Yulia, who was pleased to see that Melinda was at a loss.

"Melinda, are you okay?" Yulia asked.

Melinda just stared at her cup.

Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Emily kissing Jonas kept on flashing in her mind.

What a wonderful match! But one of them was her husband, the one who said that he loved her a few

days back.

Life really did pull tricks on you.

"Melinda, don't be like this," Yulia comforted.

She reached out and shook Melinda's arm, trying to talk her out of her misery. But the concern on

Yulia's face looked really fake.

"Melinda?" Yulia called again.

Melinda blinked and looked at her with confusion. It was a long time before she could reply to Yulia with

a simple "Hmm."

"Were those my brother and Emily?"

Yulia tried to act as confused as possible.

She was a little stunned because Emily had made such a big trick.

"Yes," Melinda softly answered.

She was starting to come back to her senses. Like her current mood, the coffee she just sipped was

really bitter.

A sudden change of heart made Melinda realize that she liked the bitter taste.

"Is that really my brother? Now, he has gone too far. How could he do this? Melinda, we should find

him now," Yulia complained.

But beneath her concern was a fraudulent face. Whatever happened or whoever those people were,

Melinda was already mad.

"No, thanks," Melinda said.

'There's no need,' she thought to herself. She didn't want to accept Yulia's support for her relationship

with Jonas.

Her castle had already collapsed. Those built projects were all temporary and one-offs. It would easily

collapse with the slightest touch.

"Melinda, are you going to just let this happen? Don't worry. Grandpa and Aunt Queena will help you.

It's all my brother's fault."

Yulia knew that Melinda's choice was to let it go. But she still attempted to encourage her.

She was really looking forward to the three of them confronting each other.

But this wouldn't happen, not at this time, and especially since Melinda didn't want to anymore.

"No, thanks," Melinda said again.

She continued to refuse everything Yulia was offering. She wasn't sure if she had the courage to face

all of this head on. Her heart had been shattered into pieces.

Melinda initially thought that her heart wouldn't hurt anymore. But it turned out that she had

underestimated her feelings for Jonas.

That kinds of love was so deep that it couldn't withstand any kind of pain.

Yulia had been accompanying Melinda all the time, seeing her drink up the bitter coffee, sitting silently,

and looking like she was dazed. The happiness in Yulia's heart seemed to have vanished.

She didn't know what kinds of love Melinda had for Jonas.

Yulia seemed to have no such kind of feeling.

Suddenly, Yulia noticed Jonas leave through the opposite exit. He had a faint smile at the corner of his

mouth as if he knew nothing about what had just happened.

It didn't even cross his mind that Melinda saw everything.

After Jonas, Emily also left. She was still wearing a pair of big glasses and a hat. Discreetly, she looked

at Yulia and Melinda's direction.

Melinda was blocked by some furniture, and Emily saw Yulia, who was secretly gesturing the victory

sign towards her.
