Chapter 41 A Car Accident
Right from the start, Emily had planned to have sex with Jonas after he got drunk, but she didn't expect him to leave so quickly. She tried to contact him again, but she couldn't reach him.
According to her investigation, she learned that Melinda had been staying in the villa and that she and Jonas were in a good relationship.
Nelson had been anxious about them. He was surprised as well as happy when he knew that Jonas accompanied Melinda at home.
He had a feeling that his grandson's eye for women would be better sooner or later, due to Melinda's great kindness.
The two of them couldn't know what Nelson was thinking. Three days had passed since they went to the market. During that time, they needed to restock their pantry. Thinking of how Jonas could be of use, Melinda brought him along to the nearest grocery and purchased a lot of food items.
Simultaneously, Melinda wondered how long the vacation would last. Was it okay since Jonas did not go back to the company for so long?
Back in the Gu's mansion, Nelson was ecstatic to hear the latest update. Gavin stood beside him and complimented Jonas for finally being smart.
"Well, this holiday was indeed a good way to stir up and foster feelings. It seems like I will soon have a little great-grandchild."
Nelson thought it was a wise decision to arrange a holiday trip for just the two of them. He used to believe that they would be okay with each other, but now he wanted a great-grandchild.
As the grandfather of Jonas, who was considered a man of action, Nelson was the same. He called Jonas promptly.
"Jonas, how are you doing with Mellie?"
"Not bad."
After all, they could make their rest in stride. Although Jonas was miserable, he would rather not think about that.
"That's great. You are old enough to have a kid. Do it as soon as possible. I'll wait for your good news,"
said Nelson. Jonas's face felt numb and quite stiff for a moment, but he returned to normal.
"I get it, Grandpa. Do you have anything else to add?"
"It's okay now. You can go back to your honeymoon and enjoy yourselves." Nelson squinted and hung up the phone. People said that the honeymoon phase was the most convenient time to start trying for a baby.
Jonas knew he had to face the fact eventually, but considering his current status with Melinda, he was afraid it would be difficult.
Somehow, he felt a little excited at the thought that he might have a child with Melinda.
Every business person had to be tough, including Jonas. He thought it over and decided to talk in the most uncomplicated and direct manner.
"Let's talk."
Jonas walked to Melinda's room. The door was not closed, and Melinda was not writing. Instead, she was lying back on the rattan chair, looking relaxed. Her eyes were closed, the corners of her mouth turning up in a small smile. Jonas's voice was uncontrollably mellow.
Melinda squinted, glanced at Jonas, and then stood up, pointing to the seat beside her.
The arrival of Jonas was somewhat unexpected. Proud as he was, he had been ignored these days and felt humble
ked her to go back to her villa and rest.
Melinda knew that Nelson might have misunderstood her, but she didn't explain anything.
Due to Nelson's order to bring Melinda to the main villa for dinner, Jonas went to inform Melinda. Melinda's loungewear was loose, showing her prominent collarbone and sexy cleavage. His eyes darkened, and he bit her neck, leaving a little bite mark.
"What are you doing?!"
Melinda looked at Jonas menacingly with her hands holding her neck. Jonas put on a poker face and said, "I don't want my grandfather to find out something."
After finding herself speechless, Melinda stood up in anger. Seeing that she seldom got angry, Jonas displayed a meek smile, which he was not aware of.
On the table, the kiss mark could be seen on Melinda's neck. Even if she tried hard to cover it, Jonas would find a way to let people notice it. All of a sudden, Nelson said she was too skinny, and she needed nutritious as he added food in her bowl.
This scene, however, made Yulia more resentful. 'She comes back and grabs all the attention of Grandpa. Why does she have a higher position than me in Grandpa's heart?!'
There was another episode during the dinner, which made Nelson irate again.
During mealtime, Jonas received a call from William, who told him that there was a severe car accident when Emily returned to A City.
As soon as Jonas heard the news, he didn't panic as Melinda expected. He looked calm, but there was obvious concern in his eyes.
"I'll be there soon,"
Jonas said to William. In his mind, Emily needed to be taken care of because she was too delicate to be on her own since she was a child.
When Jonas recalled his childhood with her, there was a sudden surge of emotion that could not be understood by Melinda in his eyes. He just hung up the phone. Without explaining anything, he left directly.
Nelson threw his crutch out at once. Hearing this, Jonas stopped for a second and then strode away.
Melinda's long hair covered most of her face together with the mocking smile on her lips.
