Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

It had been three days since Jonas finished his work. Melinda was shocked when she saw him—his eyes were dark and sunken, and his facial hair was unkempt. It was an understatement to say that he looked haggard.

Despite this, he still looked presentable in his tailored suit, and his eyes were still as sharp as ever.

It was the weekend, and Jonas stayed in the company for half a day before coming back to the Gu's mansion. William's people proved to be quite reliable. Meanwhile, Emily was much better now. As he took care of Emily every day, he reported the situation to Jonas in real time.

Nelson was playing chess with Melinda. Jonas was standing behind her, watching their game with a slight frown.

Melinda's fingers tapped against the table, her short elegant nails rasping against wood.

Just when she was about to raise her hand and move a chess piece, a voice came from behind her.

"Move it there," Jonas mumbled. For a moment, Melinda hesitated, wanting to follow Jonas's suggestion.

She was so focused on their game that she had almost forgotten that Jonas was standing behind her. At first, Nelson was the one who was winning, but when Melinda took Jonas's advice, the tables had been turned quickly. Nelson looked at Jonas with dissatisfaction, and leaned over the table with more concentration.

Finally, the game was all taken over by Jonas. He helped Melinda win against Nelson by a narrow lead.

"Well, how is it fair that I'm playing against two people? It should be against the rules to coach like that!" Nelson stated as he crossed his arms over his chest. There was, however, a smile on his face as he said this, as he was glad to see that Jonas and Melinda looked like they were getting along with each other.

When they put away the chessboard, Nelson excused himself. It was routine for him to take a nap in the afternoon. Before leaving, Jonas freshened up and changed into his casual clothes.

"Are you going out?" Melinda asked.

It was such a surprising question for her to ask since it had been such a long time since she had shown any form of care towards Jonas.

"I'm going to see Emily,"

he said matter-of-factly. Looking at his frank manner, she didn't know what to say. She pursed her lips and looked at Jonas without saying a word.

Inexplicably, under such eyesight, Jonas felt a bit uncomfortable from the guilt he suddenly felt.

Melinda saw this, and forced a slight smile. "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Melinda turned around and walked away, feeling that she must have been out of her mind. As soon as she said that, she wished she could bite her tongue off.

They had been having such a pleasant time together that she had forgotten to distance herself from him. Melinda took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Jonas tried to shrug it off and went to see Emily. Whenever Emily saw him, her face instantly lit up. Knowing that he was worried for her made her feel very happy.

In truth, Emily had been actively keeping her distance from Jonas, as if they were just ordinary friends and nothing more. But he didn't notice that, and just did what he thought he should do.
