"Mellie, are you serious?" He rubbed his ears to make sure that he heard it right.
"We can have a try, but... Senior, I'm pregnant with Jonas's baby now."
With eyes closed, Melinda said. At this moment, she felt that she was too selfish, but Kent was not as
shock as she thought. On the contrary, he unfastened his seat belt, walked excitedly to the back seat
and hugged her tightly.
"I don't mind, Mellie. I can be the father of our baby." Kent was so excited that he was incoherent. He
wanted to hold her tighter, but when he remembered that Melinda was pregnant, he carefully loosened
his grip.
He held Melinda's hand and told her how he felt at this moment. "Linda, I feel like I am dreaming at this
moment, a surprise fell from the sky and hit my head."
"Are you so happy?"
Melinda asked in confusion. But she felt sad when she recalled the time when she knew she could be
with Jonas, she also felt excited as well.
Melinda could not help but feel the same feelings as Kent now.
"How old is the baby now?" Kent's eyes fell to the abdomen of Melinda. Though it was the child of
Jonas, it was also the child of Melinda.
This woman was his favorite. He wouldn't mind at all.
"More than three months."
When it came to the child, Melinda always wore a smile on her face. Seeing how satisfied she was,
Kent could not help but grin. Then he got a bit shocked.
"Now that you're pregnant, you can't eat these food. Sit in the passenger seat." Kent looked at these
snacks in disgust. They were all junk food now.
From now on, he had to be nice to Mellie. If she really liked it, he would try his best to learn to cook for
her.
Kent pulled her to the front passenger seat. The speed he drove all the way was even lower than that
of a motorcycle. He was so cautious that Melinda could not help laughing.
"Senior, are you too nervous? I'm just pregnant. Nothing serious,"
Melinda said. Till now, Kent still thought that Melinda was the first class national protected animals and
he had to be careful.
When they arrived at the Vern's house, Kent took Melinda's hand while walking. Melinda didn't say
anything. Kent would get used to her pregnancy.
Vern had just woken up. He was really shocked to see that Melinda and Kent arrived home hand in
hand.
"Dad, are you all right?" Melinda released her grip on Kent's hand, walked forward and hugged Vern.
Her tears, which had been restrained for a long time, fell down again. Vern was instantly stunned.
"What happened? Why are you crying?" Vern was at a loss. It had been a long time since she acted
like a spoiled child in front of him.
He hadn't had this feeling for a long time, and he didn't know how to face it.
"Let's go inside, Mellie."
In the end, Kent got Vern out of the trouble. Melinda was obedient to him, but she hung herself on her
father all the time, almost clinging to him.
"Sir, I told everything that happened today to Mellie,"
Kent explained to Vern. Vern understood, patted Melinda on the shoulder, and said, "You're going to be
a mother. Why are you still a crybaby?"
It seemed that her daughter had grown up.
"Dad, I'll come back and take care of you, okay?"
asked Melinda expectantly. Her tearful eyes were like broken stars, so bright. Vern could not refuse
what she said.
"Hey, this is your home. You can come back if you want,"
Vern said very bluntly. However, Melinda did not mind. She continued to play the coquetry with her
father. Now, the expression on Vern's face could not maintain.
The pleasure on his face made Melinda realize that her father still doted on her as before.
Melinda decided to look after her father, but the two men stared at her belly for a long time, and finally
pressed her on the sofa.
"You can talk to your father. I will help you with the housework."
Kent volunteered to take over the housework. Seeing them getting along with each other, Vern felt
something strange.
"Well, Kent, you don't have to do that. An hourly worker will come here to clean the room tomorrow,"
Vern yelled at Kent, but the latter didn't stop. Instead, Vern turned to look at Melinda and said with
reproach, "Mellie, how could you be so selfish? He is our guest, how can you let him work?"
Melinda was eating fruit and stopped. Then she smiled at her father and said carelessly, "Let him do it.
He is my boyfriend now."
"What did you say?"
Vern liked Kent and had a good impression of him, but he had always regarded his son-in-law as
Jonas.
So when he knew they were together, he was surprised first and then disagreed.
"Mellie, are you out of your mind?"
Melinda was pregnant with a child of Jonas now, so he couldn't accept the fact that she was with Kent.
Kent had been paying attention to the situation over there. Seeing that Melinda told the truth about their
relationship, he stood quickly beside her.
Vern stood in front of them like a villain.
"Dad, I have thought it over and made up my mind to be with him."
Hearing her father's opposition, Melinda became a little anxious. She tightly held the hand of Kent, as if
to express her determination at this moment.
"Shut up!"
Vern said angrily. He looked at Kent unfriendly, but Kent stared at him in a neither humble nor pushy
way, tightly holding Melinda.
"Sir, I will take good care of Mellie,"
Kent promised. He loved the woman dearly and would never give up since he got a chance now.
"Kent, thank you very much for saving me, but I won't agree you to be together,"
said Vern, looking at Melinda, hinting her to leave Kent.
While what he said made Kent very embarrassed. Maybe it was out of the deep love for Melinda that
he saved Vern, but hearing what Vern said, it seemed that Kent did it on purpose.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Melinda looked at Kent worriedly and gave her father a wink. Unfortunately, he didn't understand her
wink. He was still over there, firmly expressing his attitude.
"Dad, Kent is my boyfriend now. You've gone too far. You embarrassed him,"
Melinda said in anger. She felt awful when she thought of what her father had done to Kent, and she
was also afraid that Kent might think that her being together with him was just a favor.
Melinda didn't want to admit it, but she had another thought.
Being scolded by his daughter, Vern realized that he had just gone a little too far. Anyway, it was not
right to say so.
But he was a stubborn father.
Looking at the two people, Vern couldn't figure out his daughter's thoughts at the moment, so he simply
stopped talking.
"It's time for dinner. Stay and have dinner together,"
Vern said, which made it a step back. Hearing that, Melinda sighed with relief secretly. He blinked at
Kent. Just now, Kent had been worried that she would change her mind. But now, seeing that she
stood up for him, he felt much better.
The reason why she led Kent to go out shopping was that she didn't have any food material at home.
She wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with her father, so that Kent would feel
embarrassed to stay in the same room with them.
Both of them knew clearly what Melinda wanted to do, but they all cooperated with her.
As soon as Kent left, Melinda came to her father and wrapped her arms around him, acting like a
spoiled child. "Dad."
"Stop saying anything. I won't agree to your relationship," Vern said coldly, but Melinda was not
discouraged at all.
"Why? I can see that you like Kent very much,"
Melinda asked. She couldn't understand why her father could accept someone like Jonas, but couldn't
accept Kent.
"I do like this child, but it's not that serious as to let my daughter marry him." Vern snorted coldly. After
all, Mellie was his most precious treasure.
"Well, Dad, the problem now is that your daughter wants to be with him,"
Melinda said, taking all the responsibility for herself, which made her father much unhappier. Vern
couldn't help but add more fuel to the fire. "Did you forget that there is a baby in your womb?"
"I have already told him about that and he doesn't mind. Father, do you hope me to randomly spend my
life for my child?"
Melinda asked her father in reply, which made Vern much angrier.
"Haven't you given him many times in your life? You are my daughter. Can't I tell whom you like?"
Vern said, feeling sorry for his daughter. Melinda and Kent were friends, and it was different when she
was together with Jonas.
That was the way she really liked a person, both laughing and crying.
Hearing what her father said, Melinda didn't know what to say. After a long while, she said, "Dad, I've
grown up and I know a lot of things. Love can't solve all problems."
She didn't distinguish the question with her father. She just sat there silently and thought about
something.
When Kent came back, he felt the atmosphere between the father and the daughter was quite strange.
Vern looked at him and even gave him a cold snort.
The mother-in-law would like her son-in-law more and more, while the father-in-law was much
unhappier and unhappier with the son-in-law.
What's more, this was the son-in-law that he did not want. Before the dust was settled, her daughter
had a conflict with him because of him.
At this moment, Vern felt as if he were a child who was wronged.
At the moment Melinda saw Kent, the smile on her face appeared. She went up to Kent and saw what
he had bought. Then she said to Kent, "It's all my favorite!"
