After sitting at home for the whole afternoon, Melinda became more and more uneasy. The relaxation
of these days all disappeared. At noon, Queena was very worried about her poor appetite.
However, Melinda didn't want to make people worry about her. Queena was worried about her and
wanted to take her to have an examination.
A smart servant at home had called Jonas and told him about Melinda's situation. When Melinda was
hesitating whether she should tell Queena about it, Jonas returned home with an anxious face.
When Melinda saw Jonas, she felt as if she had seen her savior. Seeing her like this, Queena felt
helpless. With a serious face, Jonas walked to Melinda's side and held her hand habitually.
"What's wrong? Auntie said you didn't eat much today," asked Jonas worriedly. The table hadn't been
cleaned yet. He looked up and happened to see the barely eaten lunch.
He frowned more tightly.
Melinda pulled Jonas's sleeve and said, "I have something to tell you."
Melinda's heavy heart was exposed in front of Jonas. He was thinking about what had bothered her at
home recently.
But Queena and the others didn't seem to be family affairs.
"Mom, I'll take Linda upstairs to have a rest," said Jonas, holding Melinda's hand and walking upstairs.
Melinda's body was getting heavier and heavier. It was difficult to walk, so she had to support the stairs.
Jonas wanted to hold or carry Melinda upstairs, but after looking at her body, he finally walked behind
her to protect her.
"What's wrong?" As soon as they arrived at the bedroom, Jonas couldn't wait to ask. There was no
hiding the sadness on Melinda's face at this time. She briefly told him about the call from the director
today.
"I want to go to the company and personally participate in the selection of the roles," said Melinda. She
felt guilty when she thought of the fact that she had neglected it for so long.
Her attitude was irresponsible to her fans.
In fact, what the fans feared the most was that the novel would be made into TV plays. There were a
thousand hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and the fans also had different ideas about the
main character.
If she didn't choose the protagonists carefully, it would ruin the images in the book in the heart of the
fans.
"You are too weak to go back and forth." Hearing this, Jonas immediately felt that this idea was not
feasible. Melinda's body was getting heavier and heavier, and she needed someone to accompany her
wherever she went.
Let her go to the company and take part in the hard selection? He couldn't agree that anyway.
"I will do what I can. I won't make things difficult for myself," Melinda said firmly. She was worried that
Jonas would say no, so she hesitated.
But she couldn't make fun of herself and the baby. She also hoped that Jonas could find a better and
perfect solution.
"No." At this moment, Jonas didn't want to say anything more. He refused directly. He was really
worried about Melinda and didn't want her to go out.
Hearing this, Melinda felt a little aggrieved. This book was her painstaking work. Now she wanted to
turn it into a TV series, and she hoped that everything could be done the best.
In order to meet the expectations of most of the fans, Emily was not suitable to play the role.
"Jon, this novel is very important to me. I don't want to disappoint those who have always supported
me." She tried to persuade him, but Jonas pretended not to listen to her.
In fact, the two of them were both stubborn people. Although Jonas could dote on her, he was not
willing to compromise easily on this matter.
Melinda became depressed again. As long as she thought that her painstaking work had been ruined,
she felt uncomfortable. She looked at Jonas several times, but he didn't have any reaction. She was
already depressed, and now she was even more depressed.
Fearing that Melinda would not listen to him, before Jonas went out, he told the servant must keep an
eye on Melinda.
This afternoon, Melinda didn't read any parenting knowledge. Instead, she kept browsing the news
about Alice with her mobile phone. The more she read, the more depressed her heart became.
From the news, it could be seen that Colson doted on Alice very much and almost granted whatever
she wanted. Colson was a person of high status in the entertainment circle. If the news was released
this time, the competition for the heroine would be considered.
Melinda couldn't help but call the director to ask him about the shooting. The director was also in a
dilemma. Although it was a good opportunity, the director wished he hadn't taken over the play this
time.
It was too easy to offend people.
"The casting hasn't started yet, but there are already a lot of rumors outside. Maybe... It's troublesome,"
the director said awkwardly. In fact, Melinda knew something about the current situation, but it was also
because of this that she became more and more worried.
After talking with the director, Melinda realized how troublesome it was.
"I see. Please don't pick the protagonists so soon," said Melinda. She wanted to ask the director to
postpone it and she tried to persuade Jonas to let her come to the scene.
If the director couldn't be the bad guy, then she would do it. She would never let Alice act.
The director agreed and said that he could only do this.
Melinda had been anxious at home for the whole afternoon. When Jonas came back in the evening, he
noticed that she had no appetite. It was not pretending, but she really couldn't eat.
Although Jonas had a strong attitude, Melinda didn't listen to him. The two of them seemed to have a
cold war in an instant, and Queena was trembling with fear.
Thinking of these annoyances and Jonas's attitude towards her, Melinda burst into tears, which made
Jonas completely flustered.
"You! Since Linda has a bad appetite, you can just coax her. Why do you put on a long face?" Seeing
this, Queena couldn't help hugging Melinda and scolded Jonas.
With someone backing her up, Melinda cried even louder. Although Jonas knew that she was putting
on a show, he was too worried to make a compromise. He even threatened, "Tell mommy your reason.
Let's see who will back you up."
"Yes, no one will back me up, because in your eyes, only this child is the most important. It doesn't
matter that I am good or not. In this case, you can contact the hospital now. After I have the C section,
can I do what I want to do?"
Melinda withdrew from Queena's arms, pointed at her belly and said angrily.
Hearing this, Jonas's face instantly darkened. He knew that what Melinda said was angry words, but he
was still a little angry at this time. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Queena
dismissed everyone. Before leaving, she said to Jonas, "There is something wrong with Linda now. You
have to calm down."
Reminded by Queena, Jonas finally came back to his senses.
After the two of them had a silent confrontation for a long time, Jonas slowly approached Melinda, but
she avoided him, "I know you are worried about the book. I can ask someone to deal with it. Trust me,
okay?" Jonas tried to reason with Melinda, but that was what she didn't want to hear the most at the
moment.
"Isn't the director arranged by you? Can he handle it?" Melinda questioned him, and Jonas was
speechless instantly.
Melinda continued to say, "There's no contradiction between you putting someone in charge of this and
me casting."
Perhaps realizing that her attitude was too cold and hard, Melinda began to act like a spoiled child. "I
know your kindness, but this book is as important as the child to me. I hope you can understand me.
Jon, you are the best. Just promise me. You don't want me to be depressed before giving birth, do
you? In this way, the baby won't be cute.
"They all said that a mother's mood would affect the baby. What if he misunderstood the world when I
gave birth to him with a sad face?"
Melinda tried every means to persuade him. Jonas's eyes were full of helplessness. Finally, he was
brainwashed by her and thought what she said was reasonable.
Melinda had been talking about the future of the baby since she was about to give birth. It seemed that
if he didn't agree this time, the baby's life would be destroyed in this way.
"Okay, I can promise you, but you have to obey my arrangement." Finally, Jonas made a compromise.
Hearing the word "arrangement", Melinda frowned and had a bad feeling.
As expected, the fact was just as she thought. Jonas asked Melinda to bring the bodyguards arranged
by Ted before she was allowed to go out. Thinking that she was only going to choose protagonists, she
felt it was not good to make a scene like this.
She tried to reason with Jonas again, but her words were nipped in the bud.
"It's just my bottom line. If you don't accept it, don't go out," said Jonas coldly. He still felt that it was not
enough. How he wished he could send Melinda to the hospital to recuperate the fetus now.
However, Melinda couldn't understand his worries.
"It's a deal. You can't go back on your word then." Melinda knew that Jonas was worried too much, so
she thought it would be good as long as she could stop it. As for other things, she would talk about it
later.
Moreover, the safety of the child was also very important.
Melinda didn't want to make herself regret. This arrangement seemed to be reasonable, so the two
people who seemed to have a big quarrel just now began to get close to each other again.
