Chapter 32 Showing Love

Although there was no newspaper report about the divorce, those who had known and showed deep concern on Jonas’s situation knew, because of Holley and Yulia.

The position as Mrs. Gu had attracted so many people, but Nelson seemed to be in the middle of the Himalayan range. So far, only Melinda had crossed the line alone. Even Emily, who Jonas favored, got stuck there.

"Please execute your duty as Mrs. Gu cautiously," said Jonas. Melinda's mocking on him was not much of a gesture, but he took the contract.

"Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you,"

Melinda said with a smile, and then stopped talking nonsense with Jonas. Glancing at the man she once loved felt like torture now. Just the sight of him made her uncomfortable.

Nelson called Jonas three times daily to ask him about the progress of taking Melinda back. When Jonas arrived home, he took out the marriage agreement and gave it straight to his grandfather. It thrilled Nelson, and he was as happy as a child.

"You’ve been reliable once. Throw away what Mellie owned before. Let’s buy brand new ones. Ask Gavin to arrange a car. You and I will pick her up personally."

The delightful news pleased Nelson. This was the only fortunate thing that had made him cheerful these days. He even considered Jonas to be less irritating. Jonas had never expected that the old man would be so vigorous and decisive. It was only a matter of time before Melinda moved back.

Jonas followed Nelson’s request to pick up Melinda in person. Gavin quickly arranged for someone to buy something latest and fresh for Melinda. When Yulia heard the news, her entire family kept busy preparing for Melinda’s return.

After returning home, Melinda packed up her things. In fact, she didn’t have much, just a few sets of simple clothes. Although she would live in the Gu’s mansion, she wasn’t ready to give up her apartment, where she left many belongings there.

The Gu family was not short on cash. Still, she brought her things back to their house since it was of little importance to them.

When the doorbell rang, Melinda assumed it was Kent. Opening the door, she saw Nelson grinning at her. "My child, Grandpa came to take you home," said Nelson lovingly.

Melinda almost cried after hearing his words, but she restrained herself. The Gu’s mansion had never been her home, but it had Nelson, who loved her most.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

Melinda swiftly stepped aside and let Nelson enter the living room. She ignored Jonas who was following closely behind.

After seeing that Melinda was packing, Nelson told her that the family had bought extra clothing at home, and asked her to go back at once. Melinda did not refuse and finally brought just her laptop.

The two hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Nelson missed her so much and kept craving for affection, which made Melinda feel very guilty. Jonas, who continued to be an invisible man, drove them back to the mansion.

As he glanced at the cordial atmosphere in the car’s back seat, his mouth curved into a slight smile. If one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t see it at all.

Gavin worked efficiently. Within a brief period, he had remodeled the

"How? She’s pestering my brother every single day, and they went to the mall again,"

Yulia said in a desperate voice. As the delivery of stuffs kept arriving at Melinda’s villa, Yulia felt that all her insults and disgrace to Melinda at the very beginning lost its meaning.

Unlike Yulia, Holley insisted on sabotaging their shopping moment as soon as she heard this update.

Melinda did not understand what was lacking in her. In recent days, Jonas had flaunted his entire wealth that he almost wanted to move the mall back.

"Don’t you women always have things you wished to buy?"

Jonas felt confused about this. Melinda wanted to tell him she could wear all the clothes he bought without wearing a single item repeatedly for an entire year.

"We go shopping for fun, not to loot."

"You mean I’m acting like a mobster?"

Jonas’s tone sounded displeased. Melinda waved her hand and said, "Of course not. Hey, don’t you want to show your love? Well, do you see the dessert stand over there? I’d like to have an ice cream cone. Go buy one."

Melinda was clearly intentional. If she didn’t play a practical joke on Jonas at such a relevant opportunity, she would feel sorry for her pathetic experience in the last five years.

Looking at the lengthy queue, Jonas frowned so much that it deepened into a scowl. Looking at the innocent smile on Melinda’s face, he felt his fists itching to hit out.

"Jonas, are you here shopping too?"

Holley’s voice crashed the silence. Melinda folded her legs to one side and kept her knees tightly locked as she looked at Jonas with a teasing smile. Jonas took a deep breath and gazed back at her with a smile, touching her head fondly.

"If you want an ice cream cone, just tell me. I’ll buy it for you."

With a horrified look, Melinda subconsciously tried to avoid Jonas, but she endured it because of the presence of Holley. Jonas left to wait in line, and he stood tall among a group of junior girls.

Passers-by took out their mobile phones to take photos. It stunned Holley when she saw the scene. Was the man lining up to buy ice cream really the Jonas she knew?
