Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

"Yulia, you should shut up." Jonas glared at her. "I don't want to hear anyone talking about this, especially if it's coming from you."

Jonas could not possibly believe that Melinda was capable of doing such a thing to his face. He had no plans on keeping the child in the first place. He suspected that the person who was responsible for this was Holley.

It never crossed his mind, not even once, that Holley would do such a terrible thing when she was caught in a tight situation.

"She has killed two children but you still defend her!" Yulia growled at her brother. Eyes wide in anger, she then turned to Melinda. "How were you able to trick both my brother and grandfather to protect you no matter what?"

Yulia stared in surprise at Jonas. She thought he would get furious at Melinda yet it was the complete opposite. In fact, he continued to defend the woman.

Melinda was at a loss for words as she turned to face Jonas. She did not expect him to believe her. This made her feelings for him even more complicated all of a sudden.

Just when she thought that she was all alone and that the whole world doubted her, someone suddenly stood by her side and firmly defended her.

Ever since Melinda realized what it really meant to be in love, she knew a fact that she felt it for this man who was currently standing in front of her. Tears soon welled up from her eyes and started to roll down her cheeks.

She snuffled and hastily tried to wipe the tears from her face with the back of her hand. Finally deciding to say something since the accident happened, she slowly opened her mouth to speak.

"I didn't do it. It wasn't me," she sobbed.

"I believe you," Jonas answered back. His eyes turned soft as he looked at her.

Suddenly, he hesitantly stretched out his hand to hold her, worried at the same time that Melinda would reject him. He seemed to be thinking twice on what he was about to do but finally mustered up the courage to grab her hand. When Melinda held his hand in return and did not try to break free from his grip, the corners of his mouth lifted up to a small smile as he softly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I believe you as well," Nelson said. "Mellie is a kind girl. I could not imagine her doing such a thing."

Eyes filled with pity for Melinda, the old man went downstairs along with Gavin. His demeanor suddenly shifted as he turned to Yulia with piercing cold eyes.

He was definitely disappointed with his granddaughter's actions.

"Yulia," he addressed her in an authoritative voice, "I don't mind sending you abroad for a few years so you could learn some proper etiquette."

Nelson's words seemed to be effective since it apparently made Yulia shut up. She did not utter a single word after. Melinda felt a little guilty as she glanced over to Nelson. She was aware that he had always been eager to have a great-grandchild.

"What's the matter? Why do you look so sad?" the old man asked.

As soon as Nelson reached out to her and placed a hand gently on top of her head, Melinda wasn't able to fight the tears that once again fought to come out. She looked back at the old man with watery eyes.
