Chapter 112 Sharp Contrast
In this way, Melinda and Jonas moved back to the main villa. Since Queena was at home, there was a sense of depression in the villa, and Melinda would stay in the room if it was necessary.
"You only stay in your room and have nothing to do all day long, so what can you help Jonas?"
Queena saw that Melinda disappeared for a whole day and was not satisfied. She sent Gavin to call Melinda out and began to teach her. She made nothing of Melinda.
Without saying a word during the whole process, Melinda heard what Amelia said and forgot that in the next second. Now she knew clearly that she would be more tired if she cared too much.
Queena repeated the few reasons. No matter how good Melinda did, she couldn't satisfy her, so she just let Queena say it. In any case, what she was afraid of least was other people's opinions and comments.
Ignoring these people was the attitude of Melinda. In addition to the cooperation with Kent recently, she had also prepared a new book. All of these needed her to be busy.
Queena looked down upon Yulia as well, especially after what had happened to Yulia. She felt that this girl was very shameless and really the child of a mistress, so she did such a ridiculous thing.
"Auntie Yao, don't be angry. Melinda is just like this. She has few words."
Although Yulia said it in a good way, she provoked Queena. Queena couldn't bear it so she left a worse impression on Melinda.
In the evening, Nelson came back home and was very happy to see them moving back. He said that Queena finally did something right.
However, the atmosphere between Melinda and Jonas was still sensitive.
In the past, they could only hide their true feelings after having a meal with Nelson. But now, Jonas was together with Melinda day and night, and a lot of problems were exposed in front of Nelson.
"Auntie Yao, you have received a lot of invitation letters today. You are so popular."
After the meal, a group of people were sitting around the tea table in the living room and eating fruit. Suddenly, Yulia broke the silence and said it to her. Melinda was a little surprised, but she soon forced a smile, pretending that she didn't care about it at all.
Many people wanted to see someone just because of his or her identity. As the hostess of the Gu family and the wife of Jonas, it was funny that she didn't receive anything.
Now, Queena received a lot of invitation when she came back, as if to say, Melinda's identity as the hostess was not recognized from beginning to end.
"Not really. They are all social engagements and the Gu family have a lot of friends. As the daughter-in-law of Gu family, we should do a good job in this aspect,"
Queena said and looked specially at Melinda, who was meditating with her head down and most of her face was covered by her falling hair. No one knew what she was thinking about.
"Oh, I see. You can take Melinda to the party. I think the fashion banquet will be a nice one."
Squinting at Melinda, Yulia smiled. Though she looked innocent, she knew
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
n. Only after the end of the activity did a group of people start the banquet.
The banquet was just the theme of the party tonight.
"Beautiful lady, may I dance with you?"
The man was dressed in a light grey suit, and his hair was carefully cleaned with hair gel. His light gray silk scarf and sleeves looked low-key and luxurious. With a gentle smile at the corners of his mouth, he looked gentle and kind.
"Sorry, I can't dance,"
Melinda refused with a smile, without any sign of embarrassment in her eyes. Many people would feel awkward in such a situation, not her.
"It's very simple. Let me teach you."
The man still did not want to give up and said. Yulia just looked at them jealously aside. She wanted to say something but did not say anything. She just sat there quietly.
Queena had already had greeted with people at this time. If Yulia had known that she would be so embarrassed, she might have gone with her. It was all this Melinda who stole the spotlight from her.
"Sorry, I really don't know how to dance, or you can dance with the lady beside me. She is very good at it."
Melinda still wore a friendly smile on her face. Her words finally drew the attention of the man to Yulia. He had two opinions though they wore the same starry sky dress.
One was noble and elegant, just like the queen of the middle ages, with a mysterious veil covering her face. While the other one was like a cyber beauty everywhere to be seen.
Thinking that it would be impropriate if he left like this, the man made an invitation to Yulia, and she happily agreed. When they left, Melinda secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was still unaccustomed to such an occasion where many people seemed to have a calculating thought behind their smiling faces.
The shaking wine glass was a luxury for the upper class. After Yulia left, many people came to invite Melinda to dance, but she refused with the reason that she did not know how to dance.
Finally, Melinda walked to a quiet place with few people.
