"Jonas, thank you for believing in me."

Emily was drunk and looked at Jonas with her misty eyes. His cold and stern face showed a hint of kindness, and they belonged to her, only to her.

Her hand twisted around Jonas’s neck, but he evaded her grasp. He stroked Emily’s hair and said, "Emily, go back to sleep."

"Okay."

Emily acted like she was a behaved girl. After driving her home, Jonas went straight back to his place. Emily gave him many subtle hints, but he ignored them. It had become a habit for him to go home every night, no matter how late.

Feeling annoyed, Melinda went to bed early. After pacing back and forth in front of the bedroom, Jonas went to the spare bedroom.

The sun’s shadows filtered through the single layer of sheer white curtain. A gust of cold, gentle breeze blew into the room. Melinda curled up her body and forced open her eyes sleepily.

After adjusting her eyes to the sunlight, Melinda realized that her window was not closed properly at night. Fortunately, it was only slightly ajar. Apparently, there was no one on the other side of the bed that night.

'Has Jonas come back yet?'

Melinda felt quite upset but didn’t show it on her face. She washed her face and went downstairs, and then she saw Jonas eating breakfast alone.

"Were you in the study last night?"

Melinda rotated her shoulders to loosen up its muscles and sat opposite to Jonas. Their servant, Mary quickly served breakfast to the table. When Melinda picked up the cutlery, Jonas put his down and smoothly wiped his mouth with the napkin.

"I’m going to the office now,"

Jonas said calmly and stood up. He didn’t answer her question. Glancing down at his unfinished plate, Melinda thought it was either he only ate a little or was just about to eat.

Feeling a little weird, Melinda didn’t brood over it. She moved back her chair and got up. Mary handed over Jonas's tie, and she reached out for it, but a slender, steady hand restrained her.

"You go to have breakfast first. I’ll do it myself."

Melinda stood blankly and watched him wear the tie, put on a suit jacket, and carry a briefcase. Then he left.

"Mrs. Gu, your warm milk is ready."

Hearing Mary’s words, Melinda returned to her senses. A myriad of thoughts gathered into her mind, as she felt that Jonas deliberately maintained his distance, or perhaps he was alienating himself from her.

"What time did he go downstairs for breakfast this morning?"

"He just got here before you came down. Today’s breakfast may not suit his appetite, so he only took one bite off the sandwich,"

Mary said. Melinda’s expression became stiffer and stiffer. The breakfast food was the same as usual, and she refused to believe that reason.

Melinda also lost her appetite.
