Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

It was a quiet restaurant in a relatively remote location, so it was private which was what Emily was looking for since she had become quite popular of late.

If it weren't for the demands of the team that she was working with, she would have liked to advertise how she and Jonas were doing so well together.

Since Jonas was a member of the restaurant, he had arranged for a private room in advance for Melinda and even gone a step further and ordered many of the dishes that she liked.

Both Melinda and Jonas arrived at the restaurant early, but they had not expected that Emily would have arrived earlier than both of them. As soon as Jonas entered the restaurant, he was guided to the room where Emily was occupying.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you in our room."

Melinda smiled at Jonas and then asked a waiter to lead her to the room that Jonas had booked. Coincidentally, their rooms were next to each other.

It was not until Jonas saw Melinda get into the room that he pushed open the door of the next room. As soon as Jonas walked in, Emily, who had been applying a touch of lipstick and trying to make sure that her make-up was on point, hurriedly packed up her things, and straightened up her clothes, revealing her perfect ensemble. Emily had dressed up with a lot of care, and every item of clothing was strategically chosen to make her look irresistible.

"Jonas, here you are."

With a bright smile, Emily walked up to Jonas and tried to guide him to their seat by the arm, but Jonas sidestepped her actions and she grabbed on to air. To cover her embarrassment, Emily swiftly turned to the waiter at the door as if that was what she had intended to do all along. "Serve the dishes now."

The waiter left and closed the door behind him discreetly. Jonas pulled his tie and sat down at a position closest to the door and furthest from Emily's seat, as if he was ready for flight.

Emily picked up the red wine on the table and poured two glasses for each of them. "This is your favorite wine. I have been keeping it for a long time, so today I came here in advance so that I could open it since this is just the right time to drink it. Have a try."

Jonas took the glass from her but put it back on the table, leaving it untouched.

"Jonas, are you angry with me for some reason?" Emily asked cautiously.

She thought that Jonas accepting to meet her at the restaurant was an indication that he had forgiven her and was willing to forget what had happened. However, the way things were developing, nothing was happening as the way she had expected.

"No."

"Jonas, I want to thank you for helping me. I propose a toast to you."

While speaking, Emily drank up the red wine and started producing a guttural sound, coughing incessantly with tears filling her eyes until she took a sip of water. Seeming to have no care in the world or at Emily's distress, Jonas sat there disinterested.

"Emily, this is the last thing I am doing for you. Never contact me again from now on."

Jonas still remembered that he had agreed to meet Emily specifically to break up with her. When Emily heard his words, her face went pale and her hands shook violently as if the wine glass had suddenly become hot.

"Jonas, are... are you kidding me?"
