After hanging up the phone, Jonas put on his coat and went out directly. Before leaving, he told the
servant, "I'm going to buy something. Linda is resting inside. Be careful."
There were many shops near the community where Melinda lived. Jonas walked around and finally
chose a congee shop. In his impression, the lightest food was this kind of stuff.
"Madam, do you have any congee that is suitable for pregnant women? She has a very serious
pregnancy reaction recently."
Seeing the name on it, Jonas was a little confused. He directly asked the owner of the shop. She was a
middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a pink floral apron.
It was in the rush hour and she was very busy. But when she heard Jonas's words, she couldn't help
looking up.
This young man was energetic and handsome. She had never thought that he was a husband who
loved his wife so much.
"Women all have serious pregnancy reaction when they just get pregnant. Don't worry too much. The
congee is a little oily. If you don't mind, I can give you some dishes made by myself. She can just eat
some rice congee with the dishes."
The owner was a woman of discernment. A lot of rich people living in the neighborhood, so she thought
that this man must be fastidious about food.
Looking at the extraordinary clothes, she could not tell the brand of the clothes Jonas was wearing, but
she could tell the clothes were made of good material.
As soon as Jonas heard her words, he thought it was appropriate for Melinda to eat it since the owner
seemed to have a similar experience.
"Please help me pack one for me."
He was handsome and polite, which made the lady happy. She quickly packed a large bowl of white
congee and a small lunch box with several dishes.
They were all ordinary dishes that people would cook at home. The red color would make people feel
hungry. But Jonas looked at it and felt a little entangled. "Is it OK for pregnant women to eat spicy
food?"
"It doesn't matter if your wife likes spicy food," the owner said without stopping. Hearing her words,
Jonas felt relieved. He took out a one hundred dollar bill from his wallet, and walked out of the shop
with all the packaged things in his hands.
"Hey, young man, I haven't got the change for you yet."
The owner just took the change and found Jonas was gone. She was about to chase the man out, but
the woman next to her couldn't help saying, "It seems that the man doesn't care about the money.
You'd better give up chasing him."
"That's not good. There are dozens of dollars," the owner said. Since she could no longer see Jonas's
figure by the door, she had to walk back helplessly.
"I hope his wife will like it and he will buy it for her next time."
Anyway, it was never easy to forget someone like Jonas. When he appeared, the owner would
recognize him immediately.
Lying in bed, Melinda took a nap for a while. Since Jonas did not come in for such a long time, she
thought that Jonas had problem with cleaning up.
It was not until Jonas showed up with a big bag that the faint smell of congee came out from the bag
that Melinda's glutton was aroused. Opening her eyes in an instant, she saw a smiling face of Jonas.
"You have vomited up what you had in the morning. I guess that you stomach is empty now."
Jonas put the things aside and adjusted the position of the pillow so that Melinda could feel more
comfortable leaning against it.
"I'm fine."
Melinda lost her appetite at the thought of the disgusting feeling.
"Silly girl, I just bought some food for you. Check if you want to eat it or not. If not, I will go out to look
for something else. There will be something you like,"
said Jonas. He felt that there would be some smell when eating in the bedroom, so he asked Melinda
to get up from bed and take her to the dining room.
The congee packaged by the lady was very large with a lots of small dishes. Looking at the dishes,
Melinda couldn't help but swallow. Her eyes lit up. Observing her all the time, Jonas also secretly
relieved when he saw this.
Jonas filled a large bowl with congee, and picked up three small plates. Then he put almost all the
dishes on the table.
He was quite skilled at doing these things. He had memorized the location where the items were
placed.
"It look delicious."
Melinda's appetite was aroused again. She took up the chopsticks and started to eat the food. The first
dish was sour bean curd. The taste of sour and spicy made her feel better.
Seeing that she didn't vomit, Jonas breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat it with the congee."
The rice congee was warm. Melinda took a small bite, which tasted a bit sweet but not too sweet. It
was a great meal with the dishes.
She started to feel hungry. She ate up the congee without any words.
"Oh, I'm so full," Melinda said, touching her round belly, and looked back at the empty bowl on the
table. She immediately felt a little embarrassed.
She normally could only have half of the bowl. She couldn't stop eating because the dishes were so
delicious today.
It had been a long time since she had such a comfortable meal.
"Linda is awesome!" Noticing her embarrassment, Jonas praised her in a way as if he was coaxing a
child.
All of a sudden, a smile curved the corners of Melinda's lips and eyes, but she still kept her head down.
Jonas only felt that his wife was really lovely.
He held Melinda in his arms and kissed her hard on the forehead, and then put his forehead against
hers. "Silly, you're not eating alone now, You are eating for two people.
The baby made you suffer. I will teach him a lesson when he comes out,"
said Jonas. The baby in her belly took over everything again. After coaxing her for a while, Jonas finally
made Melinda relieved.
"I have to go to work today, Linda. Have a good rest at home, okay?"
On the other side of the company, Aron had been making threatening moves. Therefore, Jonas dared
not relax for a moment. Now that he had to protect Melinda, the woman he loved, he wanted to be
stronger.
If Aron had known that Linda was pregnant, he would not have let her go.
"Okay, go ahead," In fact, Melinda didn't want Jonas to leave, but she wouldn't show it in front of him.
Since Jonas was still under observation, what if he became more excited after making some benefit
from it.
Jonas wanted to see pity on Melinda's face, but now he was completely disappointed.
"How heartless,"
said Jonas, not willing to give up. He continued to rub Melinda's hair, which was in a mess in an instant.
With a dark face, Melinda stretched out her hand and knocked off Jonas's hand.
"You will be late if you don't go to work now. Don't say that the company is yours."
Melinda also knew the situation of the company.
"Don't worry. I am still waiting for the day when the baby grows up and take the company. I will come
here tonight. I think you and the baby need me very much."
With that, Melinda was speechless. Men really thought highly of themselves, but she had to admit that
when she saw Jonas, she would smile more than before.
"I don't think so. You'd better not disturb me and our baby tonight,"
Melinda replied decisively, but Jonas completely ignored her. He took Melinda by the arm to walk to the
hallway to change his shoes, while holding her tightly.
Looking at their holding hands, the corners of Melinda's mouth couldn't help curling up.
"I'm going to work. Remember to miss me."
After kissing quickly on Melinda's lips, Jonas released her unwillingly and went out. When he looked
back, he found that Melinda was still in the same place. He could not help smiling.
The smile on his face was a little bit complacent, and Melinda immediately walked over and slammed
the door behind her.
His pale cheeks began to turn red.
The first thing Jonas did when he came back to the company was holding a tiring meeting which did not
be held yesterday. It was obvious that Aron's men were dissatisfied with what happened yesterday and
condemned Jonas.
"I don't know the theme of today's meeting. Do you need to change the time? I'll let you hold a struggle
contest first."
He seemed to be joking, but the coldness in his eyes made people shiver, like a cold stream. The man
subconsciously began to shiver.
"Distribute the files to everyone, William."
The whole group fell into silence as soon as Jonas finished his words. All the meeting was in a low
pressure. What's unusual was that instead of directly talking back to people, he was teasing them
today.
But it is even more frightening. He used to be like a lion, which would be very dangerous and they
could still be cautious against him. Now he was just like a smiling tiger, and nobody would know when
he would bite people.
The meeting was held almost the whole morning. When it was over, it was already twelve o'clock.
"Sort out the meeting's content and send it to my e-mail. If there is nothing urgent, don't call me."
Back to the office, Jonas took the car key out of the drawer and told William. As his capable assistant,
William instantly knew that the boss had something important to do and was about to go out.
"I can put off all the other issues except for the meeting. But are you going to attend the banquet
tonight? And your female companion?"
William said with hesitation. Noticing Jonas's unhappiness, he had to shut his mouth.
"You go to the party on my behalf, and remember, my female companion can only be my wife."
Warned by Jonas, William nodded quickly. Without too much nonsense, Jonas left directly and his
destination was the hospital that no one had expected.
It was normal for a man to show up in the gynecology and obstetrics department, but it was strange
when a man showed up alone, especially with such an aura of dignity.
The doctor on duty was stunned for a long time at the sight of him.
"Doctor, my wife vomited heavily during pregnancy. I want to ask what she should eat," Jonas asked
fully. It was not good to read too much, and he felt like she couldn't eat anything.
"Give her everything she wants. She can eat anything she wants except the things she has to avoid."
The doctor had been used to this kind of situation, so he gave a penetrating answer.
Hearing this, Jonas asked again about the taboo. He remembered every word that the doctor said
clearly than those contracts.
