"You was caught in a traffic jam? Don't you have a plan about what to do? How could you make such a stupid mistake?!"

If only his grandpa could point at Jonas's head and scold him. Nelson knew that Jonas was far from the kid he used to be. He couldn't do it anymore. Nelson tapped his walking stick on the ground, trying to vent out his anger.

"I'll be more careful next time."

Even if his grandpa's words were too harsh, Jonas acknowledged his mistake. Nelson sighed helplessly. He knew that as a child grew up, there were just some things that he could no longer control.

"Mellie, he needs to have a proper lesson. Don't get angry because of him. It's not worth it."

Melinda was familiar to the sound of Nelson's words. It was as if it was the same tone she used whenever she comforted him.

"Okay, Grandpa. I'm a little tired now. I'm going back up to my room to rest for a while."

Melinda looked exhausted, so Nelson urged her to head on her way. Meanwhile, Jonas just intently looked at Melinda, as if he wanted to say something to her. However, he hesitated, and the words just got caught on his mouth.

"Grandpa, I think it's best if I stay with her,"

Yulia gingerly suggested. The atmosphere in the living room was truly awkward. They all knew that Melinda was very upset with what happened.

"Go ahead. And be mindful of you words, okay? Make sure you comfort her,"

Nelson ordered, worrying that Yulia might say something that could make Melinda feel even worse.

When Melinda was finally in her room, she ruthlessly pulled off the necklace around her neck, leaving a bright red mark on her skin. Gritting her teeth, she threw the necklace on the dresser and rubbed her neck to soothe the pain.

If Nelson wasn't there, Melinda would've definitely snapped at Jonas. How coincidental and convenient it was for Jonas to encounter Emily like that!

"Jonas, you're such an immoral scumbag!"

Melinda shouted, glaring at the necklace. Then she sat down and buried her face in her hands.

'I've already decided not to get involved with him anymore,' Melinda thought. 'I know I shouldn't be angry... But I just can't help it!'

From the looks of it, Melinda was starting expect more and more from Jonas.

Suddenly, she heard a knock at the door, and then came Yulia's voice, "Melinda, can I come in?"

"Yeah, sure," Melinda said as she patted her face, trying to calm herself down.
