Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Melinda had been living a monotonous life. Her routine consisted of going to her workplace, getting essentials from the supermarket, and returning home. Her schedule was packed and she didn't have the time to think about anything else.

Melinda had been deliberately avoiding Kent. Kent didn't try contacting her either. He didn't want to bother her after she had clearly explained what she felt about him. They were like strangers now.

Melinda was back to living her life on her own, without anyone's support.

She wasn't petrified by the loneliness rather embraced it. She reveled in the bliss of solitude.

But Kent had been agitated since Melinda had left. He had been used to talking to her every day and her absence was killing him. He regretted ruining all his chances by confessing his love. He tried hard to calm down but he couldn't control his emotions anymore.

A week later, when Melinda left the office after work, her eyes settled on a familiar car. Kent was leaning against the car, smiling at her.

He was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants, looking quite elegant.

Melinda couldn't help but smile at him.

"Kent!"

She had forgotten everything about his confession. Kent breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door of his car.

"Come on, let's have dinner." He smiled and motioned her to get in.

Melinda bit her lip and looked at him nervously. "Don't you girls have guy friends? Consider me as your best male friend and hop into the car if you don't have a problem. I'll always be there for you."

"I want to eat roasted fish."

Melinda's face broke into a dazzling grin. Kent was finally happy to see her like this.

He didn't want to make things awkward between them. He was happy to have a part in her life even if it meant he could be nothing more than a friend to her.

Jonas had been frustrated lately. Although he hadn't paid attention to what Melinda was up to, the people around him were always curious about her and the gossips inevitably reached his ears.

He heard that Melinda and Kent were getting close to each other and that she was looking prettier than ever. Jonas was annoyed about it.

Every time he returned home, Nelson would scowl at him with disappointment.

Jonas was afraid that Nelson was going to abandon him for Melinda.

Nelson was at the door of the Gu's mansion, coming back from a walk when Jonas returned after partying. He snorted and glared at him.
