When Queena heard this, she felt that she saw through her husband.
He was so proud that sometimes people would hate his hypocrisy. However, he acted like a gentleman.
She couldn't believe that she was so blind to fall in love with such a man when she was young.
"If you feel ashamed, have you ever thought about why Jonas moved out?"
Queena looked at Alston and spoke, with a trace of resentment in her voice. He had never thought of
her and their son for so many years.
"It's because he cares about Jerry. They are brothers and will support each other in the future. Why
can't they get along well?"
Alston disapproved of what Jonas had done. He had brought a good helper to him, but now Jonas was
so ungrateful.
"Do you think Jerry is a good man? You are leading a wolf into your house."
Queena thought of what Jerry had done to Jonas and Melinda, and was pissed off. What a bad thing it
was.
As far as Alston was concerned, it was a good thing to make use of Jerry and David to gain
cooperation, and then with the ability of Jonas, the Soaring Group would surely be able to go further
and further.
This was the blueprint he had drawn for the Soaring Group, but the real situation was opposite. The
conflict in the company was getting more and more profound because of Jerry.
If it weren't for the fact that Jonas was strong enough, the Soaring Group would have been losing
money in the last two months.
"Stop talking this topic, now we're talking about you moving out." Obviously, Alston was not stupid. He
knew what Jerry was, but he just wanted to make use of him.
"Mellie is pregnant. Both of them are young. I'm afraid that they can't control themselves. With an elder
around, they will behave themselves."
Queena thought it was impossible to reason with Alston, so she spoke out the reason directly. Although
Alston was a little selfish, he cared a lot about his child.
He seemed to understand the reason.
"It's inappropriate for two people to live outside. Let them go home." Alston said that, but was greeted
with a mockery of Queena. It was simple to let Jonas go back home, because he just needed to let
Jerry leave.
But Alston was unwilling to make a concession, so he waited.
Queena didn't want to stay with him anymore, so she left without saying more. On the contrary, after
careful consideration, Alston thought that his family couldn't be divided into two families, which was too
improper if it was spread out.
The only person who could make his unruly son a little more obedient was Melinda.
Alston decided to have a talk with Melinda.
However, Melinda didn't know these things at all. Queena was going to move in, and she began to
clean up the guest room. Jonas was not willing to, but he didn't want to let Melinda suffer. In the end,
he obediently took over the job from her.
Seeing that he was depressed, Melinda felt helpless. Following behind Jonas, she wiped off the sweat
that didn't exist at all.
"Jon, the baby is the most important now. You can hold it for a while." Melinda hoped that Jonas could
be a little happier.
But hearing that, Jonas was even unhappier. He knew what he was doing, and now in Linda's heart,
the baby was the most important person.
He had occupied this place before he was born. After he was born, he would have a little baby with him
when he needed to do anything. While Melinda looked at the little baby with a tender face. She said to
him heartlessly that the baby was the most important thing, which made him deeply doubt life.
He couldn't figure out why he had this child with Linda. The child was like his father's enemy.
However, no matter how much he hated it, he finally gave in. Child was the most important. After all, it
was not easy for him and Linda to have another child.
He planned to leave the baby to its grandparents, and he would go back to enjoy his time with Linda in
the future.
Jonas had always hoped that someone would take over the heavy burden from him. But when he found
that the person might be Jerry, he only felt that the burden on his body became even heavier.
If he wanted to protect Linda and the others well, he had to force himself to be stronger than Jerry.
"You are always busy with your work and Mommy is with me at home. I won't overthink about anything.
Isn't it said that pregnant women are more likely to suffer from depression?"
However, what Melinda said got Jonas's angry stare. He didn't want Melinda to make jokes about her
health the most.
"I see. You go there and take a seat. I'll be back soon." Pointing at the seat not far from them, Jonas
said to Melinda. She nodded to him obediently, and then sat down.
Jonas... He began to work carefully.
It was on the next day that Alston contacted Melinda. She was surprised when she got his call. After all,
she had almost talked to him only for three times.
"To see me?" Melinda asked in shock, thinking Alston might make the wrong call.
"Yes, you don't have time?" Alston frowned and asked. It seemed to him that it was strange that a
jobless vagabond like Melinda didn't have time.
"No. Why don't you come to the apartment of me and Jonas?" The restriction on her movement was
rather serious now, and because of Emily and Jerry, she could not go out.
The most important reason was that Alston favored Jerry. As a result, Melinda dared not rashly go out
to meet him.
After hearing this, Alston was a little hesitant. But when he thought of it, he believed that Jonas should
be in the company at this time. So he agreed.
After inquiring about the address, Alston drove to the apartment where they lived.
Seeing such a small building, Alston frowned again. When he arrived at the floor where the apartment
was located, he felt a little relaxed.
In order to make the home more comfortable, Jonas bought two layers of the space, with the middle
layer open.
Knowing that Alston was coming to the apartment, Melinda had been well prepared. Opening the door,
she gave a new pair of slippers, and a cup of coffee.
It was said that delicate people all like coffee...
"Dad." The voice of Melinda was a little embarrassing. The smile on the face was no longer gentle as
usual.
However, it was obvious that Alston didn't care about this. He nodded, took the coffee and put it aside.
"You are a good girl." With his hands crossed, Alston stared at her. Melinda thought to herself that
usually such an opening would lead to uncomfortable words.
As expected, the next words of Alston were, "Jonas is ignorant. You can't mess around like him. I hope
you can move back to the Gu's mansion."
"I need to discuss this with Jonas." Melinda's smile was impeccable, and she didn't think that it was
thoughtless for Jonas to do this. What they were doing was not mischievous.
It could only be regarded as their protection for her at most.
"What can you talk about with him? Will he go back after you talk about it?" Alston asked mockingly. He
had to admit that he knew his son well.
Thinking of her wise advice, Melinda also believed that no matter what she said would not work.
But she just didn't want to agree due to Alston's attitude.
"As long as you and I go back to the Gu's mansion, Jonas will definitely come back," Alston said firmly.
His son was a boy with love. If Melinda went back, he didn't need to say anything, and Jonas would run
back home automatically.
Melinda suddenly felt speechless, because it was true.
If she went back to the Gu's mansion, Jonas wouldn't be so firm as before, but if she did so, didn't she
hurt Jonas's heart?
But now, there was a man with a tough attitude in front of her. She suddenly felt that she was caught in
a tangle.
"We're still a family, aren't we? Living apart from each other is just a joke to other people? Besides,
you're a filial child. Your grandfather needs someone to keep him company at home."
Seeing Melinda was hesitating, Alston mentioned Nelson to persuade her. Hearing this, Melinda was in
a more embarrassed situation.
"All right."
Under the attack of Alston, Melinda had no way to deal with it. She thought that if she told him to pack
up, Alston would surely say that everything was ready at home.
"Dad, I'm going to the washroom. I'll go back with you after I get my bag," Melinda said. Her obedience
made Alston satisfied and he nodded.
Melinda left, clenching her phone in her hand, and deliberately went to the bathroom upstairs. As soon
as she locked the door, she quickly told Jonas about it.
"What should I do now?" Melinda didn't know what to do now. She agreed to leave with Alston just to
make him less aggressive.
Jonas's eyebrows wrinkled tightly again. He did not expect his father to go in such a way. Being caught
between the two, Melinda would be in a dilemma.
"You go with him first, and I will pick you up after work, to our own home."
Not wanting to put Melinda in a difficult position, Jonas gave a pleased time to his father and decided to
pick his wife home as soon as he got things done in the company.
Melinda had scruples, but he didn't need to.
Hearing this, Melinda felt a little relieved. She didn't want to be in the same place with Jerry, which
would make her feel that she was in the most dangerous place.
In fact, in her heart, she was reluctant to go back to the Gu's mansion. That was not a familiar place,
and at this time, Jerry lived there, who was very dangerous for her baby.
The reason why she would move out with Jonas was that she was afraid that Jerry would do something
to her baby. She didn't want to provoke him and could just avoid him.
Jerry was a pervert. If she fought head on, she would be the one to lose in the end.
After hanging up the phone, Melinda went downstairs. As expected, Alston was still waiting for her. It
seemed that she could not escape today.
