Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 168 Not Necessary

After Melinda got back home, the scene that Victor had said to her kept flashing through her mind. He was reasonable, but it was really difficult for her to do that.

Even if she had been forcing herself to ignore Jonas, she had compromised so many times, just as Victor had said, and being entangled.

There were still too many connections between the two of them. Melinda was not a heartless person who could give up completely.

And if Nelson knew, he wouldn't let her do it. Nelson was very loyal to relationships.

Melinda was upset.

At the same time, when Emily received the photo sent by a private detective, Emily was also vexed. The feelings of Jonas for Melinda were far beyond her understanding.

The same as Melinda, she thought that Jonas was just unwilling, but once again insisted, was it really that simple?

All of this was because of love. Emily already thought of the ridiculous answer in her mind.

But that was the truth.

"Shall we continue watching them?" The voice of the detective came through the phone, which made Emily come back to her senses. She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course. Is he still in the hotel?"

"It seems that he's going back to the Gu's mansion." In the starlight, a low-key black car followed behind the ostentatious sports car of Jonas. Seeing his driving route, they guessed that he might be on the way home.

"Tell me when he is out," Emily exhorted. Now she couldn't enter the Gu's mansion freely. But the surveillance on Jonas wouldn't stop because of this. In important moments, Yulia would send her a lot of messages.

The detective ended the call without another word. He focused his gaze on Jonas's car and didn't say anything else. The car that had been speeding suddenly slowed down and stopped, which caught him by surprise. The first thing he thought of was that he might expose himself.

But Jonas didn't make any next move. The detective licked his lips, and finally drove slowly and passed Jonas's car. When the two cars were side by side, he saw that Jonas rolled down the window of his car, and a scarlet light appeared in the night.

Jonas was very upset and didn't know how to vent it, as the Gu's mansion only brought him depression.

He became more addicted to smoking after Melinda left.

It was not until the last cigarette in the box finished that he closed the window. It was cold outside and his fingers were a little stiff.

The next day, Jonas showed up at the downstairs of Melinda's company. Emily had been informed by the detectives and arrived at the company almost immediately.

Those who were eager to accost Jonas were suspicious when they saw a beautiful and a little familiar woman, standing next to Jonas.

"Here you are." Emily wore a miniskirt today, and her long, round, and slender legs were covered with long boots, light pink matching, which made her a pretty young girl.

The clothes that Jonas wore were the couple's clothes that had been bought by Melinda before. The thin clothes made people shiver in such a cold weather.

"What are you doing here?" Jonas glanced at Emily and looked away. He kept looking at the door, hoping to see Melinda. Even if she came out to ask him to go away, he would like to.

However, Melinda did not appear in the crowd.

Emily followed his eyes, pretended to say unintentionally, "Doesn't Melinda know you are here? Or she doesn't want to see you?"

She said in a mock way, deliberately provoking Jonas, who remained unmoved and just said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Jonas, if you keep standing like this, you will soon be on the headline of Weibo." What Emily said was true. The behavior of Jonas had drawn the attention of many private media.

"Women always know women better. How about I give you a good idea?" Emily's eyes were half closed, but her mind was spinning fast. As expected, after hearing this, Jonas, who didn't take care of her, turned his head in an instant and looked at her with expectation.

It seemed that his eyes were telling her to say it quickly.

"Why don't you pretend to be with me? As long as Melinda still loves you, she will be jealous. By then, she will naturally appear," Emily said jokingly, but her fingers were clenched into fists, and her nails were deep into the palms of her hands.

She seemed to be joking, but in fact she was serious. She was waiting for the answer of Jonas.

But without a trace of hesitation, Jonas said coldly, "No way."

The biggest misunderstanding between him and Melinda was Emily. And now, he let her get involved. Was he worried that Melinda would not be more alienated? Sometimes, Jonas was stupid in relationships, but he was smart enough to know that.

Emily was still forcing a smile.

"You really don't want to have a try? Maybe that's a good idea." Emily didn't want to give up. But Jonas didn't even want to give her a look.

They fell into silence, but it was the lively atmosphere in the company. Although Emily had covered her face, she was still recognized.

Due to this, Jonas had to leave. Standing in front of the window, watching the couple downstairs walk away together, Melinda sneered.

Fortunately, she was not expecting anything this time. The so-called waiting was nothing but the appearance of Emily.

"He's gone?" All of a sudden, a voice called out from behind. It was Victor. Melinda didn't know from when he stood next to her. She was surprised, but she quickly returned to calm. "Yes."

"You still miss him?"

"Not necessary."

After saying that, Melinda no longer paid attention to Victor, and returned to her seat, but was in a daze for a long time.

Standing in front of the window, Victor fell his eyes on the traffic on the street and pondered over what Melinda had said. She said "not necessary" but not "no". It was totally different.

Although Jonas refused Emily's proposal, he still had expectations. He had been away for a long time, but there was no movement on his phone.

Unconsciously, Jonas drove to the bar. His daily activities were in the club, and he only occasionally went to the bar.

But now, he became more addicted to smoking and the feeling of getting drunk in the bar.

He enjoyed the revelry of others and enjoyed his loneliness.

As soon as Emily returned home, she got the news from the detective that Jonas went to the bar alone.

Many bars didn't open in the daytime. Jonas went to a quiet bar, and there were many young men and women gathering there. Jonas didn't wear a suit today, so he looked younger in a group.

He was sitting at the bar counter. Emily already saw him without even looking for him. She had been worried that Jonas might sit in a corner, and it would be hard for her to say that it was just a coincidence for them to meet each other.

"Jonas?" In order to set off the atmosphere, the light in the bar was dim. Emily shouted in confusion, seeing that man look at her sideways. This small action made Emily's heart beat faster for no reason.

She never denied that she liked money and power more than that of Jonas, but at this time, she felt that those things were not as important as the man in front of her.

"Sir, I have arranged your table. Please come this way." The waiter walked up to Jonas, bowed slightly and said politely. Emily naturally followed Jonas.

Soon, the waiter put the wine that Jonas ordered in his seat. Emily looked at various kinds of drinks and found that the alcohol degree was no less than 40. Emily was not a bad drinker, but she could not

Unconsciously, Jonas pulled his shirt collar before drinking, only to find that he was wearing a guardian armor. Feeling embarrassed, he pretended to be nothing and put his hand down.

He began to drink alone. Emily took up the glass beside him and poured a glass for herself. She clinked her glass with Jonas's and said, "Come on, I'll drink with you."

Jonas's lips parted, but finally said nothing. In fact, he wanted Emily to leave, but he didn't know how to open his mouth after a long pause.

But sometimes, expression in eyes could be expressed. Emily could feel a touch of drive from Jonas's eyes, but she was an actress, so she was born to act.

She chose to turn a blind eye to it.

"Why are you here? Anything on your mind?" Emily did not drink as frequently as Jonas did. She changed the topic when she stopped, but it was a test.

"You furrow your eyebrows into an old man and your face is so gloomy that even the young men around you are scared. If you have anything annoyed, you can tell me."

Emily tried to talk to Jonas as a friend and said in a relaxed tone. Even if Jonas didn't answer, she didn't stop.

"Don't meddle in my business. It has nothing to do with you."

Jonas ignored Emily for a long while, and he said indifferently in the end. Emily sat still with a pale face in the dim light.

"Got it," Emily said bitterly, pouring the cup in her hand into a full glass in an instant. She used to accompany Jonas, but now she was drinking fast.

People around them couldn't help looking at them. The two people who had not spoken were drinking all the time. The woman looked very sad, but the upper half of her face was covered by her hair, and nobody knew if she was crying.

The man was so intimidating that people around him couldn't help shivering. Those who had wanted to come out to save the beauty all shrank back at this time.

These wine had a high alcohol content. After a while, Emily's drunk eyes became blurred, and tears also fell down.

Her throat was burnt, and her sobbing voice was hoarse, making people feel sorry for her.

Emily muttered with her mouth open and closed. Jonas was totally uninterested in it. But suddenly there was a weight on his shoulder. Then, Emily leaned over.

Jonas, who had been calm all the time, suddenly moved. He stood up from his seat and Emily fell awkwardly on the sofa. The disgust in his eyes was obvious.

He ignored Emily and left the bar alone.
