The sun was pouring down the whole room. Melinda covered her eyes with her hands and sat up on
the bed, panting.
She looked a little dazed, thinking that she seemed to have fallen asleep with the company of Jonas. It
was rare for her to sleep so peacefully since she was pregnant.
The corners of Melinda's mouth could not help smiling. She gently placed her fingers on her lower
abdomen.
'Baby, do you like your father?'
Melinda began to think about the question while asking her child. After a short while, she realized that
she might have thought too much. Shaking her head, she walked out of the bedroom.
Someone was busy in the kitchen. Melinda thought it was the servant. Then she found it was a man's
figure. Her eyes widened and she was surprised to find that it was Jonas.
There was a blanket on the sofa. Melinda wondered if Jonas had slept at home yesterday.
She truly had no memory about all these.
Jonas prepared bone congee for her. There were many pickles made by the servant at home. He just
needed to put them on the small plate.
"You are awake." Hearing the sound, Jonas turned his head and saw Melinda stare blankly at the
blanket. He woke up early, but he was afraid to wake up Melinda, so he didn't put the thing back.
Jonas had a thorough understanding of Melinda's routine from the servant. When the breakfast was
ready, Melinda just woke up, and the time was just right.
Every time Melinda saw Jonas like this, she wanted to make fun of him. She couldn't help but laugh,
and her heart was soft again.
Jonas rarely cooked, but he could only cook a few dishes. But this congee he cooked was well learned.
After Melinda went to wash her face and rinse her mouth, Jonas put all the things on the table and
waited for her to have breakfast.
Although Melinda had imagined how Jonas looked when she was taken care of by Jonas, she was still
not used to it.
But they had a good breakfast together.
After the meal, Jonas had to take the initiative to send Melinda to work. The filming had been on the
right track. Melinda had to adapt the novel.
It was the first time for her to do such work, and she asked many people about it. Elmer also arranged
someone to take care of it with her.
Melinda had a lot of things to deal with recently. When she returned to the company, she first sorted out
the draft, and used all her spare time to modify the script.
The novel was relatively long, and it was impossible to shoot all the scenes in the TV play, so it needed
to be deleted. Each story and each scene that Melinda wrote was cherished by her. She felt it was
difficult to change it.
Victor rarely contacted with Melinda recently, but he knew that her novel had to be adapted. According
to the report from the media, all that should be known by the company.
It would only make those who gossiped a lot more envious of Melinda.
Victor had been depressed for a while because of his ex-wife. These days, he found that Melinda had
been very preoccupied and tired, so he had made coffee for himself and even poured a cup of coffee
for Melinda.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Have a good rest." Victor handed the coffee to Melinda. In
fact, he was surprised at the beginning when he heard that she was going to cooperate with Elmer. But
soon he understood.
He assumed that it must be Jonas who had done it. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for
Melinda to cooperate with him. What was more, she could participate in the making.
It was a lucky thing to change the script to cooperate with the well-known scriptwriter.
There couldn't be so many lucky things in the world, and someone must bear everything for her in a
place she couldn't see.
"Mr. Cheng, thanks."
Melinda took over the coffee, put it on the table, and said thanks with a smile. At this time, she was also
grateful. Fortunately, her work did not have so many strict requirements. Otherwise, if she just went to
work like this, she would definitely be criticized by the leader in other companies.
"Don't be so formal with me. We are already friends. Besides, you are a popular star now. It's natural
that I should be nicer to you," Victor said jokingly. Melinda's novel was to be made into a TV play, so
that she had a large more number of fans. And her status in the novel circle had also been promoted.
The people around her were red eyed, but they hoped to have a connection with Melinda, so that they
could pretend to be powerful.
Melinda didn't feel anything wrong. She had been doing her job well.
"Well, since this is the case. Mr. Cheng, I want two more days off. Do you agree?" Melinda also joked.
She was the one who asked for the most leave in the company.
She didn't have a vacation chance and her leave application was also taken into consideration, so the
leader had to think about it carefully.
However, Victor was so frank that he agreed immediately, "Okay, but you should not forget me once
you are wealthy."
Detecting the fatigue on Melinda's face, Victor agreed promptly, which caught her off guard.
"I will never forget your kindness," said Melinda. Without any delay, Victor went back to his own office.
They had only talked for a short while, and Victor had brought a cup of coffee to her. As a result, the
employees of the company began to make fun of them.
And they also made an oral statement that "you should not forget me once you are wealthy".
Melinda had long been used to the manner of many colleagues in the company, and did not want to
say too much, but the company gave her a sense of depression.
This company now didn't have the spirit of the novel communication at the beginning but the common
intrigue in the society now.
Melinda told herself not to mind what they said, and she was still busy with her own things.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Emily was deeply troubled by the fact that she couldn't get the heroine
and had lost face in front of Melinda. The director was hard to deal with and she wasn't sure who the
investor of the play was.
Although a lot of people knew that it was Jonas, but this way would definitely not work.
She tried to contact some of her old investors, hoping that they could invest in her and also give a role
to her. But those people were not idiots, and were reluctant to fight with Jonas.
At the same time, Emily received a call from the director.
"Director Liu?" When Emily answered the phone, she thought that she made a mistake, but the person
at the other end of the phone was really Director Liu, he sounded a little excited.
"Don't blame me for not helping you this time. I even talked a lot to you in front of Elmer. He wanted to
see you in a few days."
Director Liu was also surprised at the change of Elmer's attitude, but he was very happy to pass on his
words for the director. He thought that he could seize the chance to make a good impression of Emily
on him and get some benefits.
Emily was surprised, but soon she was excited. She felt that when the mountain was bottomless, she
had a way out. It would be the best if she could get on the ship named Elmer.
"Thank you, Director Liu. I'll treat you to dinner another day,"
Emily said happily. Director Liu said a lot on the other side of the line. At last, he said that Elmer would
contact her and tell her to be prepared. Otherwise, such a good opportunity would be wasted.
"Well, that's enough. It's up to you."
He liked to keep a way out for himself. Even if he did so, he would not think that things would be
certain. But Emily did not care. She felt that she had finally met something good.
As expected, she received a call from Elmer, asking if Director Liu had told her.
"Director Liu has told me about this. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity," Emily said
modestly. She was clear that she had to sacrifice her body for this.
Although Elmer despised Emily in his heart, he still wanted to try what it felt like to have sex with the
pure and beautiful girl who was spoken by others.
"It's okay. If you have any taboo, tell me. Then I will arrange the place," Elmer added.
Emily was even more excited when she heard this attitude. But she still said that there was no taboo.
But there was an implication in her words. It depended on Elmer.
After hanging up the phone, Emily was still very excited. She wanted to show off in front of Melinda, but
she felt that after everything was settled, it would be better for her to go to her.
She didn't know that it was only a trap, and Melinda would no longer worry about it.
She was the only one who was messing around.
Melinda was a little dispirited. Looking at the coffee on the table and the following work, she hesitated
and took a sip. The bitter taste spread across her taste bud and immediately made her frown.
She wondered where Victor had bought the coffee and why it tasted so bad. Melinda took a cup of
warm water immediately, only to find the bitter taste lingering in her mouth, which made her very
uncomfortable.
The disgust that hadn't shown for a long time surged up again. Melinda quickly put down the cup and
walked towards the bathroom. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she couldn't help vomiting.
The feeling of retching made her exhausted, as if she was going to spit out her bile.
After a long while, Melinda came to her senses. Leaning against the door, she touched her belly. It was
obvious that she was pregnant. It was not easy to hide it.
Her mind went blank. After thinking for a long time, she went back to her seat. Her face was pale.
People who didn't know what happened might think that it was because Victor had poisoned her.
Victor was shocked. He also drank the coffee and he felt alright. He didn't expect that Melinda started
to vomit.
"It's just my stomach. It's not serious." Finding that Victor was very nervous, Melinda casually found an
excuse to escape from the scene. As a result, she became more and more impatient for what she was
going to do next.
She couldn't help touching her lower abdomen to comfort her child, but she was afraid that the people
in the company would see something wrong, so she tried to restrain herself.
As the baby grew up, Melinda became more aware of many things that she deliberately ignored.
Could she really bear to let her child grow up in an incomplete family? Could she really deceive
herself?
At that time, whether it was Jonas, Aunt Yao, or Grandpa, they wouldn't allow this child to be without an
identity.
