Jonas's attitude was driving Emily insane but she still held on to the last of her hope. She wished for Jonas to touch her at least once, which would change their lives forever.

The two had grown up together, influencing each other's lives. Besides, Jonas had left Melinda for her many times. Emily believed that Jonas was in love with her. She wanted him to realize it sooner so that they could start a life together.

"Jonas, my friend has opened a new restaurant. Will you come with me to attend the party this evening?"

Emily had made a bold promise to her friends. She said that she would come to the party with Jonas, thinking he would come with her. But she was worried to see him being distant. She didn't want to be embarrassed before her friends.

Jonas pursed his lip. His mind flitted to Melinda's beautiful face and a smile lingered on his lips. Emily heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him smile. She was sure that Jonas would go to the party with her.

"Emily, I'll go with you some other time."

Jonas's words hit Emily like a bucket of cold water. She was shocked and didn't know how to react.

"Jonas, are you going to accompany her?" Emily asked, hissing through her teeth.

Jonas frowned at Emily's response.

He was suspicious about Emily's behavior but he quickly rearranged his expression.

"Emily, I've been very busy lately."

Emily's face turned pale. Jonas usually accompanied her without protesting. He would blindly follow her words without raising any questions.

"I see. I won't bother you anymore."

Emily bit her lip to stop herself from crying. She stood up and left as tears streamed down her face. She couldn't accept the rejection. Emily felt as if Jonas had gone too far away from her.

She fisted her palms tightly to control her emotions. Her knuckles turned white and her fingernails sank into the skin but the pain was nothing compared to the heaviness in her heart. The blue veins on her wrist pulsated wildly.

After Emily left, Jonas continued to do his work in peace. Everyone in his office knew that their workaholic boss had been leaving early these days.

Nelson was happy to witness the change in Jonas. He usually preferred his grandson to work hard and earn well. But he was glad to see Jonas get closer to Melinda.

But one thing seemed to bother Nelson a lot. Although Jonas and Melinda had been in a relationship for a long time, there was still no news about Melinda's pregnancy.
