Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

The red light had already passed, and all of the cars on both sides of the road had started to move forward. But as if he had turned off the car's engine, Jonas's car stopped in the middle of the road.

Jonas didn't mind all the honks that came from the cars behind him because he was stubbornly waiting for Melinda's answer.

Melinda looked around and nudged Jonas. "Drive!" she exclaimed.

Just when Melinda shouted, Jonas instantly moved forward. Based from past experiences, if Jonas threatened Melinda to answer while in traffic, she would definitely dislike him more.

He had learned his lesson. Now, he had a deeper understanding of what was going on between them.

But the green light would turn into a red light in a few moments. All the drivers on the road were eager to leave within seconds, each of them trying to be faster than the others.

The commotion happening on the road made Melinda really frightened. She thought that at least Jonas was the first in line. She also knew that she couldn't do anything.

When they arrived at the Gu's mansion, Mary had already prepared a meal for them. Surprised by Jonas's considerate service, Melinda recalled what he had said back when they were in the car.

Even though Jonas wasn't good at expressing his love, he clumsily expressed it through his actions.

'What an emotional idiot!' Melinda thought to herself. Jonas's image unconsciously changed for Melinda.

After their lunch, Jonas didn't mention anything about going to the company. He simply followed Melinda. It made him stressed that she always appeared cold and stern.

"Go back to work. I know what you said."

Since she knew about it, she would give it more thought and perhaps even consider it. Melinda gave him the answer he was asking about. When Jonas was thinking about what to do next, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

It was Emily. The atmosphere suddenly became tense the moment Emily's name was brought up.

As Jonas's eyes flickered, Jonas answered the call and put it on speakers.

"Jonas, there's a ball the day after tomorrow. I was wondering if you'd go with me," Emily said over the phone.

Emily's voice, and especially what she had just said, sent chills to Melinda.

"I'm busy," Jonas refused.

He knew that in order for Melinda to forgive him, the first thing he needed to do was to keep distance from Emily.

But Melinda was too suspicious. Even though Jonas blatantly declined the date with Emily, she still had doubts.

'What if I'm not here? Would Jonas agree?' Melinda thought. She felt too uncomfortable thinking about this, and decided to ignore him and watch a movie instead.

In the next few days, Jonas made sure he had some spare time to be with Melinda. He wanted to prove that what he said was true. He tried to put his words into action in order to show how serious he was.

As he showed his love every day, Melinda's heart gradually softened. They were not as cold as before.

But Yulia was really anxious to witness all of these.

If they really got along with each other, would it mean that Melinda would never leave?
