Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Queena knew that she had a grandchild whom she had never met but she didn't know anything other than that. Although Melinda was telling simple stories, it was not difficult for Queena to understand Emily's motives.

Queena was ashamed of herself for falling into Emily's trap. She remembered what all Emily had done to flatter her.

Nelson was right; Queena was enchanted by Emily and had failed to see through her act. She looked at Melinda. "I'm sorry," she said guiltily.

"What?" Melinda looked quizzically. She couldn't understand why Queena was apologizing to her. Queena smiled but didn't tell what she was thinking.

"Looks like I'm getting old. I was stupid enough to be deceived by an actress."

"Oh, you're not old at all. If we go out together, people will think that we are sisters."

Melinda smiled comfortingly. She was glad that Queena understood who Emily truly was.

Queena felt guilty for hurting Melinda by blindly listening to Emily. She felt that it was best to cut all ties with her.

Melinda was perplexed. Her intention to leave the Gu family began to waver. She didn't know what to do.

Both of them went back to their bedrooms without saying a word.

The next morning, Melinda felt cold when she woke up. She realized that Jonas was tugging the quilt that was draping her body. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips when she saw Jonas's handsome face. He looked cute and peaceful in his sleep.

Melinda's fingers involuntarily touched Jonas's face. She stroked his eyebrows and let her fingers trail across the short stubble on his cheeks.

Jonas's eyes snapped open. Melinda froze on the spot, their faces were inches apart. A subtle blush crept on her cheeks as she didn't know what to tell him. "I think you've been stressed out lately. Your hair is turning white," she said, trying to hide the embarrassment.

Melinda immediately pulled a strand of hair and showed it to Jonas.

Jonas looked at the black strand and knitted his eyebrows. "Oops! My bad. There's no light and I thought that it was white hair."

Jonas shook his head and stood up. It was winter but the weather was cozy. The dim lights and the chilly weather made Melinda lazy.

Jonas knew that Melinda was making up silly excuses. But he couldn't help but smile at her happy face; he didn't have the heart to question her.

Melinda grinned sheepishly as she glanced at the strand of hair. She didn't want Jonas to know that she adored him.

Melinda's bitter past made her hate Jonas. She was upset and wanted to do something to feel better.

Melinda lazed around in the bed and got up late. She finally dragged herself to the bathroom once Jonas walked out after washing his face and brushing his teeth.

Melinda was wearing a light pink, satin nightwear. She slipped on a coat and went to the dining table.

Nelson and Jonas were busy reading the newspaper and Queena served the breakfast. Melinda walked to the kitchen to help her but tripped over the carpet. She held the chair for support and steadied herself.
