Chapter 205 Law
Chapter 205 Law
It had been a long time since Melinda had such a relaxed and happy mood. This time, it seemed that she experienced a life and death, which allowed her to see through too much.
Jonas lost a lot of weight and looked extremely thin. Melinda tried every way to make him gain weight back.
Jonas sat in the middle between them, and took care of them from time to time.
It was hard for an outsider to imagine that a bossy man like Jonas would have such a tender expression. Seeing that Jonas was busy serving them with food, Melinda could not help but stop him. "You should have a good rest now. I can do it myself."
"Your wife just cares about you."
Seeing this, Nelson could not help teasing him. Melinda smiled shyly. She looked at Jonas with a little anger, which made Nelson laugh more happily.
"Why are you still so shy in front of your family?" Jonas joked as he held her hands tightly. Melinda's hands were so small that they fit well for playing the piano. She had to work and lived on her own now, and her fingers were no longer as delicate as they used to be.
Thinking of this, Jonas couldn't help asking, "Linda, have you learnt piano before?"
Melinda was stunned, with her eyes full of blankness. When she was a child, her family members would pay attention to her preferences, and there would be no reluctance at all.
Leonard required much calligraphy and chess skills for her, the musical equipment was rarely mentioned in front of Melinda. The painting Melinda herself was fond of was carefully studied by her.
And it was after Melinda got into the Gu family that she started to learn piano.
"No."
Jonas just nodded. He didn't go on with this topic, but changed to another topic. Melinda did not it to heart, but Nelson seemed to know everything.
"I'm glad to see you two like this," said Nelson with delight. Then he picked up his glass again and proposed a toast to them.
"I'm happy today. Let's clink."
Both of them picked up the wine glasses in front of them and had a drink. Since it was not appropriate for Nelson to drink too much, all of them had a sip of the wine. Jonas had just recovered, while Melinda was a woman, so they were tolerant of her.
"Jerry is behind the kidnapping." After putting down the glass and pondering for a long time, Jonas finally chose to say it out. But speaking of Jerry, there was a slight change in his eyes when he looked at Nelson.
Melinda had heard it from William in the police station, so she knew that. She was happy to see Jonas being honest.
"He is my father's illegitimate child. I can see that he hates my father so much that he plans to blame me." When Jonas talked about Jerry's identity, he looked calm. But after his calmness, no one could see his real intention.
"Grandpa, do you know Jerry?" Jonas's target suddenly turned to Nelson, and Melinda's eyes fell on Nelson, too.
It seemed that grandpa did not know that.
But the tone of Jonas was suspicious. Melinda looked at this one and then another. She was a little confused.
"I've heard about this kid a long time ago," Nelson told them the truth directly.
Nelson knew the matter about Jerry. It was long ago. Jerry was the illegitimate child of his son, and many people knew about it.
But no one knew how Jonas's father solved the woman and her son afterwards, and no one knew anything about it. Nelson also didn't ask anything.
He didn't expect that the news of this kid known to him after so many years was because Jonas was kidnapped and he was the one who made all this.
Nelson frowned and finally sighed. He briefly talked about the things happened among Jonas's father and others to Melinda and Jonas.
'They are all fools?' sighed Nelson in his mind.
"So, Jerry revenged Jonas because of his father, didn't he?" Hearing this, Melinda frowned and her smile faded.
"I don't know exactly what happened that year either. But from what he said, I can tell that he must hate not only my son, but also the whole Gu family."
Nelson was not only sharp in his eyes, but also when he looked at things.
It could be seen that Jerry hated the whole family from this case. The happier the family was, the lonelier Jerry and his mother were.
Grown up in such environment, it was not hard to imagine Jerry's hatred.
"But we can't let Jonas to pay the price for the last generation," Melinda said unhappily. No wonder that she didn't like Jerry at the first sight of him. He was such a nuisance.
Nelson and Jonas smiled at Melinda and did not answer this question.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to let him go like this?"
Although they were all his grandsons, Nelson still favored Jonas in terms of love. What's more, the way how Jerry dealt with things this time was what Nelson most looked down upon.
When Nelson served in the army at a young age, he was serious about everything.
There was nothing wrong with Jonas's negotiation with him. But Jerry took this opportunity to calculate the scheme.
It was necessary to do that, no matter in the business world or in the battlefield. However, Nelson looked down upon them when scheming family members.
"That's impossible." Jonas smiled gently but with a touch of hostility in his eyes.
He didn't want Melinda to see the cruel side of him.
"It's okay as long as you know what you should do."
Nelson nodded his head and said nothing. He was very satisfied with what Jonas did, except that he was bad at relationship.
"Of course, I won't let him go so easily."
When he was kidnapped, what he thought first was as long as Jerry let himself out alive, he should be ready for his revenge.
"Jonas, he has gone too far this time. But the best way is to solve it through the law."
Although Jonas was trying to hide his true feelings, Melinda still recognized the cruelty in his eyes and she couldn't help reminding him.
"Through law?"
Jonas didn't make any comment as he was thinking about it. He was helpless that Melinda had been travelling in the society for a long time, but she hadn't considered things prudently.
In this society, people often ignored the law.
"Right. Don't use that power. It's the worst way to solve it in your own way. Don't try to break the law, understand?"
Melinda had lived a good citizen who abided by the law in the past year, and she had been telling him about it with the worries in her eyes.
Melinda had saw Jonas deal with some business before, so she didn't want him to behave like that at all.
"Okay, I won't" Jonas smiled gently. He didn't like to hear that, but he would not contradict what Melinda said.
Now, Jonas had learned the ultimate skill to coax his wife. What his wife said was right and he couldn't refute it.
There were always two meanings in his words. He just expressed that he would not break the law.
Looking at the two people, Nelson did not say anything. He also felt that Melinda was a simple child.
"I want to eat the sweet and sour pork." Seeing that Jonas agreed and saw the change in his mood, Melinda felt better.
The sweet and sour pork was in front of her, but she still wanted to say it out. As a smart man, Jonas naturally reacted fast and picked the pork in front of her mouth.
Melinda just wanted to command him to put the pork in the bowl in front of her, but she didn't expect that Jonas was so close that her face flushed immediately. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What are you doing? Just put it in the bowl," Melinda whispered to Jonas while peeping at Nelson secretly. Noticing that Nelson was totally absorbed in the wine made by the chief, she was relieved.
Seeing that Jonas insisted on feeding her, Melinda ate the pork, and she didn't notice that there were more wrinkles on Nelson's face just because he was happy.
Nelson asked him about the company. Since Jonas wasn't in the company these days, there were many changes in the company which looked calm.
Aron would never give up such a good opportunity.
Melinda didn't understand what they meant, but she was happy to be with them. The lunch was over, and her stomach became bulging.
"You are too thin. You have to eat like this from now on."
Nelson saw that Melinda had been staring at his belly gloomily and blamed her. Melinda was somewhat embarrassed. Not knowing why she had a bad appetite not long ago, but recently she became abnormal and had a good appetite.
Since Melinda had a lot of food, she still felt hungry easily. Besides, she had no energy. It seemed that she hadn't recovered from the strong shock caused by the disappearance of Jonas.
"Grandpa, I have to go to work this afternoon, so I can't accompany you later." Melinda had also lost a lot of work recently. If Victor hadn't been there to help her, she might be resigned.
However, Jonas was hoping that Melinda could work in Soaring Group, and he could even build a cultural company for her if she liked it.
And it also could avoid the criticism of people who were ignorant.
Speaking of Melinda's work, Jonas could have complained for three days and three nights.
"It doesn't matter. You can accompany me in the future once you are free." Nelson was very glad that Melinda worked outside. She needed more experience. On these two occasions, at least, Melinda knew that she had to be cautious in front of people.
One should always not hurt others, but one should also always keep others from hurting oneself.
"You and grandpa can go home together. I'll take a taxi," Melinda said to Jonas. Although Jonas was in good health now, Queena didn't allow him to go back to the company right away.
After this, she was indifferent to those fame and wealth, and felt that there was nothing better than being together in a family.
"Okay,"
He replied, his eyes full of unwillingness for her leaving.
