Melinda wasn't as calm as she claimed to be when Kent asked her. In fact, she was trying hard to find an excuse to go to the washroom.

She was in such a hurry that she didn't even notice that Jonas was following her behind, even though Jonas almost fell over the table because of how drunk he was.

The farmhouse was a little large, and the restaurant and the washroom were in two different places. If Melinda wanted to go to the washroom, she had to get out of the restaurant and take a quick walk to the washroom.

Melinda had already been here several times already. But because she was anxious, she felt confused despite her familiarity with the place.

In front of her was an intersection that was surrounded by stone paths. Vibrant, fresh flowers were decorated on the side of the road.

If Melinda could calm down, she would easily spot the sign not far from where she was. Jonas was still following her. He almost bumped into her when Melinda suddenly stopped.

The noises around him suddenly disappeared. From his point of view, only Melinda could be seen as she stood at the crossing.

Jonas felt his heart being pierced.

The pain he was feeling made him grab his collar and stretch it out. He looked at Melinda with a frown. As he saw her walking away, he grabbed her.

Melinda suddenly came to her senses as she felt someone grab her. She smelled a strong whiff of alcohol that was mixed with a stinging perfume.

"Jonas, let go of me."

But Jonas's strength was too much for Melinda, especially now that he couldn't control himself. Intoxicated, Jonas hurt Melinda's arm.

Melinda tried to break free of Jonas, but her strength was too small.

"You think I will let you go so you could see Kent?"

Jonas's eyes were red. His shout was like a beast's roar. The amount of alcohol he had drunk made his throat really hoarse.

The guests were of no help to Melinda. They simply looked away whenever a commotion happened between Melinda and Jonas, thinking it was just a simple love quarrel between two young couples.

"Next time you're drunk, go find Emily. Don't annoy me ever again!" Melinda shouted at Jonas.

Melinda's nose was starting to get irritated with the strong smell of wine coming from Jonas. It was unfathomable how much Jonas had drunk in just a short amount of time.

Melinda started to whisper in her heart.

"You went out to see Kent today. Why didn't you tell me, huh?" Jonas interrupted.

He put his hands on her shoulders and forced her to look him straight in the eyes. Even though Melinda was desperate to look away, Jonas was so insistent.

Melinda was starting to feel a great amount of pain on her wrist and shoulder. All she wanted to do at this time was to get rid of the crazy man.

"Why didn't you tell me? I demand an explanation!"

When drunk, Jonas was like a mischievous child who didn't get what he wanted. With Melinda not giving an explanation, he began to make a fuss. He grabbed her tighter on the shoulders.
