Her heart still fluttered with fear of last appointment. She was afraid that it might be someone else she
would meet in the appointment.
Her hesitation also awakened Queena. She explained, "last time I was busy and it was not appropriate
to cancel your appointment, so I asked Jonas for help. It's absolutely me who comes to see you this
time."
"Okay."
Since the Queena had spoken up about this, of course she didn't care about what had happened in the
past. Queena was very happy when she saw that. Thinking of Melinda's interest in working, Queena
decided to make the appointment at weekend.
"Since you do not go to the clothing shop with me, I feel like I've lost my military counsellor. I'll do some
good shopping this time."
After some more small talk, they hung up the phone.
On the weekend, Melinda arrived at the shopping mall according to the address given by Queena. She
was choosing clothes. Seeing that Melinda was here, she waved her hands happily. "You're just in time.
I don't know how to match myself. I'm not satisfied with just a few suits I picked."
Melinda still felt guilty for making her elders wait for her. Queena solved this embarrassment. Melinda
had a good eye for everything. She rearranged them. Queena praised her enormously.
"Young people know how to match well." Queena bought all the clothes selected by Melinda for her.
Then they went other stores shopping again. Queena went around and accompanied Melinda to the
young women's wear shop.
"Now that you are working outside, you should better dress yourself up. Don't waste your good taste on
me." Queena looked gentle, but tough. Melinda didn't object and picked two for herself.
When they paid the bill, Queena was stopped by Melinda with a reason that no one was able to refuse.
"I haven't bought clothes with my own money for a long time. It's a spiritual satisfaction. I think I must
be satisfied."
Queena was very casual when buying things. Her harvest was full in such a range. Queena asked
people to send the things to the Gu's mansion, and Melinda put them directly in the store.
Lunch was solved in the hotel owned by Soaring Group. After the meal, they two took a rest in the
private room, and the waiter left after making them a pot of green tea.
At this time, Melinda finally realized that Queena had something to say to her.
"Honey, now Jonas know he was wrong. I hope you can think about it."
Queena took a sip of green tea. The faint taste of the tea was not bitter, which was just enough at this
moment.
"It's quite impressive."
"It seems that is second infusion."
"The first one is a little bitter, and the second one is just right." Queena didn't know why she said that.
Melinda smiled and nodded in agreement. Then she said, "all of them are made of the same tea, but I
have tasted its bitter before. I don't like it even if it's second infusion."
Queena finally understood the meaning of Melinda's words. Even if Jonas had changed now, Melinda
should have felt the sadness before, so she no longer liked him now.
"You just drank as well, didn't you?" Queena still tried to persuade her, but Melinda already had an
idea. With a smile on her face, she said, "that's because you haven't tasted the first dish."
Melinda raised her eyebrows. Queena thought, 'it's hard to imagine her to be a person who has just
experienced emotional ups and downs.' Queena is upset, but she doesn't blame Melinda for that.
Jonas deserved it. He was the one to blame for all this.
After all, he was his son, so Queena want to try her best to give him a hand.
"I don't want to ask you for anything else. But can you help me persuade Jonas? He's not doing well
recently. I'm very worried."
Queena frowned slightly. She was not young anymore, and now she was concerned about Jonas's
affairs, so there was silver hair. Even if it was covered well, when she frowned, faint thread formed from
the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry, auntie. I can't help you." Melinda could understand her feelings. However, because of this,
Melinda would not give a tiny bit of hope to her if Melinda can't do it.
Melinda took a sip of tea to make her dry lips feel better. Then she stood up and said, "aunt, I have
something to do in the afternoon, so I have to leave."
Just then, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. The two people in the room looked
at the direction of the door at the same time. Wearing a suit, Jonas rushed over in a hurry. He walked
toward Melinda.
Melinda's body shivered. He buried his head in the neck of Melinda and said hesitantly, "don't go,
Melinda."
He happened to have a meeting upstairs and heard that his mother came to the hotel. With a lady who
Queena called "Mellie" in an intimate manner.
After hearing this, he went straight to Queena's exclusive box, without giving up the meeting, and as
expected, he saw the person he was missing of that day and night.
At this moment, only when they held tightly in the arms would he have a sense of reality.
Queena looked at his son's downcast face and walked out of the room silently, leaving room for them.
The room was very warm. She felt a little dizzy. Being held so tight in his arms, she couldn't think
clearly.
"Let go of me, Jonas." Coming to herself, she tried to push him away, but he was too strong, and her
strength did not work at all.
"Don't go." He said stubbornly. It was hard for him to see her now. He didn't know when he would see
her again if he let go of her. At this moment, he was somewhat hateful for her ruthlessness.
'She held a grudge against to me just because I deserved it.'
"Are you trying to block me?" Her indifferent tone frightened Jonas. She seemed to be angry and he
thought he should let her go.
For a moment, Jonas started to struggle for it.
"Jonas, are you planning to make me difficult to breathe and die here naturally?" It was not easy for
Melinda to speak, and she was almost out of breath. Finally, Jonas realized that he held her too tight
that she could not breathe.
He released her and put his hand on her back, caressing her softly. As a child at a loss, he held her
hand stubbornly.
"I'm going home." She looked at him coldly and saw that his tie was a little askew, so she couldn't help
but straighten it for him.
Hearing this, Jonas's eyes lit up. Melinda scolded herself for being stupid, but she suddenly
remembered something. "I'm tired after shopping today, and I need to go back to have a rest. And you
should go to the meeting now."
She always knew what meeting Jonas would do when he tied a tie, so she reminded him in this way at
this time.
In current situation, Melinda had known some rules, so she said that she needed a rest, hoping that
Jonas could let her go.
"If you are tired, you can go to the top suite to have a rest." "What are you doing?".
'Speak in a polite manner is useless.'
"I don't want to see you."
The room was warm, but Jonas felt a little cold. Disgust was reflected in her eyes. He finally realized
that this was what she really thought in her heart?
Indeed, he had done so many wrong things, so how could he expect that she would forgive him and be
willing to see him.
He loosened her grip as if he had lost all his souls. Melinda walked away with the thing in her hand
without hesitation.
The numerous Lessons told Melinda that she must be decisive.
She had her own car now, and she drove when she came here with Queena. Her driving skill was
much better than before.
Her clouthes were still in the mall. Although she lived in the city, she was not good at recognize the
road. She had to use navigation when she went out, unless there was a certain road, such as from
home to company.
Melinda went to the mall to fetch some clothes, and then remembered that there was not much foods at
home, so she turned around and headed for the supermarket.
"Melinda."
There were a lot of people in the mall. Melinda thought she had misheard and did not care, but soon, a
tall figure appeared in her sight.
"I called you so many times, but you didn't respond." His injuries had become less after a few days of
recovery. At this time, Victor was tall and handsome, and his beautiful eyes had attracted a lot of
women.
What's worse, he was flirting with those girls.
"I didn't notice." Melinda pouted her lips pouting in exasperation. She had always been in a bad mood
due to Jonas since they got to know each other.
"Did he badger you again?" He stared at her with his sharp eyes, and Melinda continued to walk
forward with the box in her hands. Melinda didn't answer his question.
"I was in the hotel just now."
Victor was having dinner with several friends in the hotel today, and the room was just next to
Queena's. the door of Victor's room hadn't always been closed, and a burst of rapid footsteps outside
was heard, accompanied by the voice of 'Mr. Gu'.
Victor didn't care much about it, but soon he saw Melinda leaving.
Melinda stopped and continued to walk ahead. She still refused to answer this question.
She thought that no one in the world could defeat her. If she didn't want to answer him, she would not
response even if Victor was in a hoarse voice.
"Forget it, I know you don't want to mention him, but Melinda." He stood in front of her and forced her to
stop.
She had no choice but to stop. She looked up at him, as if to say, she was all ears to what he was
going to say… crap.
"Since you have prepared a new life, you must make a clean break with the past, instead of entangling
with it from time to time."
