He had planned to ask Melinda to wait for him in the same place, but he thought it would be better to
avoid arousing suspicion when he thought that the address was the studio of Jessica.
After saying yes, Melinda went back to the recording studio and told Jessica about that Jonas was
going to pick her up.
"I'm familiar with that coffee shop, and I don't have anything else to do now. Let me go to accompany
you." Upon hearing this, Jessica immediately stopped her work. Feeling a little embarrassed, Melinda
thought she could do it alone.
"It's okay." Jessica insisted on accompanying her. Melinda had no choice but to let her go to the coffee
shop with her. Jessica was really familiar with this place. Most people would be excited to see stars.
But when they saw Jessica, they greeted her as if they were friends.
"You'd better not drink milk since you're pregnant. Try fruit milk. It tastes good," Jessica said to Melinda.
She could feel her care from the details again.
When Melinda was with her, she had a strange sense of security. Without any other opinions, she
asked Jessica to order it.
There were not many people in the coffee shop at this time. The two of them chose a relatively remote
corner to sit down. Probably because of Stacy, the topic between the two of them was always carefully
avoided these sensitive people.
Most of the time, Jessica would tell Melinda some interesting stories in the entertainment circle or ask
Melinda about her knowledge in literature. When Jonas came over, he saw the two people talking and
laughing happily.
"Let's go home." Holding Melinda's hand, Jonas was about to leave. It was totally different from what
he had been doing all the time, which made Melinda feel strange. But when she saw the bad look on
Jonas's face, she didn't dare to say anything more. She made a gesture to Jessica and left.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from her?" When the two got in the car, Jonas couldn't help saying that.
Obviously, he was a little angry, but he carefully fastened the seat belt for Melinda.
"I know what you are worried about. I know that Jessica and Stacy are good friends, but they are
different."
Melinda was dissatisfied that Jonas was prejudiced against Jessica. Having spent so much time with
Jessica, she felt that she was a worthy friend.
She couldn't lose such a friend because of Stacy.
Hearing this, Jonas looked at Melinda helplessly and said nothing more. But he sighed in his heart, 'If I
work harder, I can better protect her.'
Because of this, the two of them went back home without saying a word all the way. Queena was also
frightened by Melinda's missing. Seeing that she came back safely, she couldn't help but nag.
"You are such a naughty kid. You didn't even tell me when you went out. Mommy was almost scared to
death by you," Queena said, covering her chest. She was frightened when she saw the pale face of
Jonas at that time.
Fortunately, Melinda was fine, or she really didn't know how to face her son.
"Mommy, I'm sorry," Melinda said. At that time, she was curious and wanted to go out for a walk, but
she forgot to tell her family.
"It's fine since you come back safely. You should know that you are pregnant now. You can't be so
willful in the future,"
Queena warned. Melinda knew it was her fault today, so she answered obediently. On the contrary,
Jonas stood there with a long face, which was very frightening.
It was difficult for Queena not to notice where such a powerful person stood. She looked at Melinda in
confusion and saw a bitter smile on her face.
Although she was confused, she also felt that it was their own business and she would not interfere.
Being intimidated by Jonas's behavior, Melinda became a coward and kept holding his hand, trying to
please him.
"Jon, are you angry?"
Although Melinda didn't think she was wrong, she was deeply aware that she had to put on a posture of
apologizing.
"You'd better keep away from Jessica," said Jonas coldly, and returned to silence.
"That's because you don't know her well. She is a good girl, really," Melinda said as she looked at
Jonas. She had always felt that she didn't have many friends.
It was rare for her to have the intention to make friends with someone. But she really wanted to make
friends with Jessica. And she was also sad that Jessica was Stacy's best friend. Although Stacy and
she were not in a seriously bad relationship, it was still an extravagant hope for the two of them to get
along well with each other.
"Do you want me to know other women?" Hearing that, Jonas frowned more tightly. Even though
Melinda almost shed tears when Jonas got the wrong point, she still shook her head.
Although she believed in Jonas's love to her, she always lacked confidence in this love.
"Don't walk around for the next few days. This is the punishment for your running around today," Jonas
said to Melinda. Everyone present heard what he said.
Melinda's eyes widened in shock. Was she going to be grounded just because she went out with
Jessica today?
Before she could react, Jonas said to the servant who had been taking care of Melinda, "Keep an eye
on Young Mistress these days and try not to let her go out. If she has to go out, you must follow her all
the time."
"Don't worry, Young Master," the servant agreed. In this way, Melinda felt that she had no personal
freedom.
"I don't agree."
Melinda shook off Jonas's arm and said in an unconvinced tone. Jonas looked at Melinda coldly without
saying anything, which made her feel guilty for no reason.
"Jon, I won't run around. Besides, it's easy for me to think too much if I stay at home all day long."
Melinda softened her tone, hoping that Jonas could take back his order.
However, Jonas just wearing a cold face and showed his attitude.
"I'll tell you where I'm going all the time. Don't let Auntie follow me all day long," Melinda said again, but
received a cold glance from Jonas.
"That's it," said Jonas. At once, Melinda was like a deflated ball.
The result was that Melinda couldn't defeat or dissuade Jonas, so she had to agree to this request.
After staying in the studio for a long time, Jessica still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of
what Stacy had done. When she thought of her best friend's former appearance, she felt like she had
changed into another person.
Previously, she had only heard from Stacy about the matter of Jerry, and felt that he was quite
miserable. But recently, she had been involved, and thought that it was Jerry who had caused himself
to act like this.
If he was willing to have a good foothold in the Gu family, instead of doing these crazy things, the Gu
family would naturally gave a part of the power to him.
But all this had been swallowed up by his ambition, and her best friend had been used all the time.
Jessica made up her mind to ask Stacy to break up with Jerry. She couldn't watch her friend being
used by a vicious man like Jerry.
Because of what happened last time, Stacy was still angry with Jessica, so she didn't want to meet her
when Jessica asked her out.
"We have been good friends for so many years. Are our friendship eating by the dog?" Jessica was
always gentle. She was really angry that she would say something like that.
Hearing this, Stacy didn't say anything more. Instead, she told her the address. Jessica instantly
understood that Stacy agreed to meet her.
In fact, she was really busy these days. She had postponed a lot of activities to deal with these private
affairs. When she was going to meet Stacy again today, her mood was very complicated.
Stacy had been trapped at home for the past two days and she couldn't go out, so the place they met
was in the Wang family's house. The Wang family members were all familiar with Jessica.
"Are you so indifferent to me now? Because of a man you treated me like this?" Seeing that Stacy still
didn't want to talk to her and even put on a long face, Jessica felt uncomfortable.
"Stacy Wang, I didn't get angry when you set me up with him last time. Don't you feel guilty to treat me
like this?"
Jessica said again. Hearing this, Stacy's expression softened a little. Finally, she said stubbornly, "Isn't
he your type?"
"Do you think I will destroy other people's relationship? Besides, I just like this type, not this person. Do
you want me to be a married man's mistress for the sake of Jerry?"
The more Jessica said, the angrier she became. Stacy felt even much guiltier, but she still said that she
didn't think so.
"Stacy, wake up. That man is just using you from beginning to end. Break up with him. You deserve a
better man. Look at what kind of a person you make yourself into for him."
Jessica felt that Stacy was a total stranger to her now, as if she had changed into another person. Or
perhaps she had been brainwashed by Jerry, so she had become like this.
"I won't break up with Jerry." As soon as Stacy heard this, she became more and more agitated, and
her eyes looking at Jessica became vigilant.
"Jessica, you are the one who has changed. How could you defend Melinda and Jonas?" Stacy
shouted and went back to her bedroom excitedly, unwilling to talk to Jessica.
Jessica sat on the sofa angrily. At last, David showed up. David was an elder whom Jessica had
always respected. She tried her best to put on a good-looking face and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle
Wang."
"Jessica, you haven't been here for a long time," David sighed with emotion. Since Stacy knew Jerry,
her life had been basically revolved around Jerry, and the people around her like Jessica had long
been forgotten by her.
"Right," Jessica said with a forced smile. She knew that something had changed.
