Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

The atmosphere became tense and Jonas pretended to remain ignorant.

Although Melinda and Emily were scowling at each other, Jonas remained still.

Melinda was surprised. She had always thought that Jonas was on Emily's side.

"Jonas, it's been so long since I had spent time with you at your place. Do you mind if I stay here for a while?" Emily asked, biting her bottom lip nervously.

Melinda narrowed her eyes and stared at Emily. Jonas was a little surprised too. He didn't expect Emily would make such a request. Emily was intimidated by Melinda's presence. She didn't want Jonas to fall for Melinda, so she decided to stay at Jonas's place and separate them.

"Jonas, the paparazzi have found out where I live now. I... err..." she trailed off and stopped when she caught Melinda staring at her suspiciously.

Melinda understood that Emily had come with a plan. She wondered if the paparazzi knew why she was staying here.

Jonas thought that Melinda was annoyed by Emily's presence and he groaned in frustration. Women were always hard to deal with.

"Jonas, she has been your best friend since childhood. She can stay with us for a few days. Ask Gavin to arrange a room for her," Melinda said, smirking at Emily.

Emily was shocked by Melinda's response. She was annoyed that Melinda didn't react and create problems like she had expected her to. But she couldn't refuse the offer.

Although Melinda wasn't a stunning beauty, she had an amazing personality. She could effortlessly mesmerize people with her charm.

Gavin stood in a corner and watched them talk. Melinda instructed him to arrange a room for Emily.

Emily's decision was spontaneous and she did not bring her belongings with her. Jonas bought new things for her, which lit a spark of hope in Emily's heart.

Melinda usually dressed casually at home. Emily was surprised to see Melinda walk down in a light purple gauze skirt and a pair of silver high heels during dinner. Her hair was tied into a loose bun as tendrils of hair escaped from the sides.

Jonas's breath caught in his throat when he saw Melinda. She was looking elegant and graceful.

Nelson sat in the center, while Melinda and Jonas sat at one side and Yulia and Emily sat opposite to them, casting awkward glances at each other. Queena had gone out to have dinner with friends.

Yulia was annoyed by Emily's presence. She had been frustrated ever since Melinda told her that Emily was going to stay with them for a couple of days.

Emily was a beautiful woman. She was social and could effortlessly captivate people's hearts. Yulia was insecure around her.
