Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 186 Do You Drink

Jonas put down the menu and pulled out the chair for Melinda. She put down her square bag and took her seat. Jonas handed the menu to her.

"That's all." Jonas had ordered quite a few dishes with the menu in her hand. The waiter by their side wrote them down. Melinda closed the menu simply and handed it to the waiter.

The delicate ornaments in the room were extremely valuable. Melinda had been studied in the university and now when she carefully studied them, she found that they were all genuine antiques.

'Who is so rich to open such a restaurant here?'

Melinda thought to herself. When she returned to her sense, there was a cup of drink in front of her. "Thank you."

She was still polite to Jonas. Juice was the lemon flavor that Melinda liked. The light lemon flavor overflowed, making her relaxed and narrowed her eyes.

The lemon juice tasted sour, but it lit up the entire taste bud. Melinda was also shocked.

Cold dishes were served soon. There was a refreshing little dish on the colorful plate. No comment on how it tasted but the color matching was very good.

In other words, its value was comparable to that of the dish of a five-star restaurant.

Thinking of this, Melinda couldn't help studied the tableware and found that although these were not very expensive, they were still valuable. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She had never expected that there was such a restaurant on the opposite side of the company. No wonder that many people couldn't imagine it.

Melinda guessed that this must be owned by a young man from a noble family. Since the guests were either rich or powerful, they ordinary people had better stay out of it.

Or they could only afford to have a meal in the lobby on the first floor.

The dishes were served very quickly, most of which were Melinda's favorite. Jonas served a half bowl of appetizers for her and said, "Have a try. If it tastes good, you can order takeout to the company later. It's closer to here, so you don't need to worry that it will be cold soon."

This restaurant was run by Jonas Pei. He designed all the details of the design in the shop according to the preference of Vivian, but she did not know.

"Not bad. But I will get tired of it if I eat this every day." Since Melinda always respected others when she spoke, she wouldn't say the dishes here were not very good. But she rejected Jonas's proposal in her own way.

During the dinner, neither of them spoke. Even though Jonas didn't say anything, he took good care of Melinda carefully.

"Are you free tonight? The movie I'm looking forward to will be shown today. They sent me two tickets. Let's go together. What do you think?" said Jonas, looking at Melinda expectantly.

Melinda would have forgotten this movie if it weren't for Jonas. Her initial expectation was already gone. "I want to go back early and have a rest."

"You can't have a good rest even if you go back. Linda, you'd better relax. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Jonas put down his chopsticks and said in a somewhat strong tone. Although he was telling the truth, such a tone of voice still irritated Melinda.

She stopped eating, "I can't feel relaxed when I am with you."

The harsh words stabbed into the heart of Jonas like a knife, and he could hardly breathe for a while.

"Linda, as long as you stay with me tonight, I can handle the plagiarism."

Jonas stared at Melinda stubbornly. In fact, this movie was a dream of Melinda. She told Jonas that she had feelings for this book. After preparing for it for a long time, the filming flooded. Melinda was very happy, saying that she would go to see it with him.

Now the movie was on, and a strong obsession rose in Jonas's heart. He chose the movie because he wanted to take part in the movie with Melinda. The premiere must be watched by both of them.

Hearing this, Melinda raised her eyebrows, and then stood up with a sneer, her eyes full of ridicule.

Her movement was not big, but attracted all the attention of Jonas. Melinda picked up the cup of cold water from the table, poured it to the face of Jonas.

Jonas looked like a drowned mouse. The water wasn't hot, but Melinda's unhesitating act broke his heart.

Water slid down from Jonas's hair and dripped on the table covered with a delicate tablecloth. Melinda glared at him and did not ignore the anger from him.

He pretended to be nice to her. Hearing that, Melinda laughed in a sarcastic tone. "Jonas, you're really humiliating me.

Are you happy to see me worried about it? I thought you've changed. In fact, you're still the same Jonas. You and Emily are a perfect match." Jonas's behavior was just like a sarcastic remark of Emily in front of her.

But they were in two different ways.

Melinda felt it laughable that she was only one of those women in his wanton club in the eyes of Jonas.

The disappointment in her tone was not disguised. Jonas suddenly felt flustered, and he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. He was just too anxious.

"I'll take care of this, and you don't need to worry about it, Mr. Jonas. If you're here today to talk about this, then I'm sorry that I'm disappointing you." Melinda took her bag and was about to leave.

Jonas's anger disappeared weirdly with what Melinda said. Seeing that Melinda was about to leave, he became more nervous and quickly reached out to hold her arm.

Melinda was really very thin. People seemed to be able to see the thin blood vessels on her fair arms. There was almost no flesh on the wrists. Even Jonas worried that if he used a little strength, her wrists would be broken.

"Linda, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." There was still water dripping from Jonas's forehead. When the water fell into his eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable and blinked his eyes, but it made him look like crying.

Melinda could not bear to see that, but thinking of what he had said, she could not help but be angry.

"Jonas, you know better than anyone else that not every sorry can be paid in return." Melinda pushed away Jonas's hand slowly, but he was so stubborn that he didn't want to let her go. So she had to release him with all her strength.

Her words and attitude made Jonas hesitant. He didn't dare to stop her at all at this time. After Melinda left the room, she felt that the air around her was much smoother.

Staying in the room was really depressing.

She knew that maybe Jonas didn't mean it, but his true intention was revealed by accident. Those gentleness was but illusions. The cruel and mean man was Jonas.

Melinda took a deep breath and left the restaurant under the guidance of a waiter. The design of the restaurant was very unique. The entrances on the first floor and the second floor were different. If Melinda went down from the second floor, she would probably be surrounded.

Not knowing where to go, thinking of that her work had to be finished today, Melinda simply walked towards the company. At this time, the lights of neon changed the night view of the city. When she walked to the street side, there was some night wind, and she couldn't help holding her arms.

There were still many people working overtime in the company. Melinda took the elevator to her department, only to find that there was the flickering screen on her computer. Someone was sitting on her seat and looking for something attentively.

Astonished, Melinda came closer and found it was Victor. Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Victor looked up and saw her, "Aren't you off work?"

"I come back for solving something. Why are you sitting in my seat?" Melinda sat down beside him and looked at him suspiciously.

Then Melinda began to think that she didn't turn off the computer when she left. She regretted her carelessness secretly and that she always forgot to turn off the computer. It was not strange that the data in it was hacked.

"I asked the technician this afternoon to see if there is any backup for you." As Victor spoke, he turned his attention back to the computer. Seeing that, Melinda only felt her eyes blurred. She seldom deleted anything from the computer, so it was difficult to find anything in it. Moreover, her eyes would be hurt.

Thinking of her attitude to Victor today, Melinda felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't show it. She looked at him searching the data quietly, while Jonas threatened her to accompany him and then he would give her a hand. Melinda looked at Victor with calm eyes, showing a little bit of anger to Jonas in her heart.

"It's getting late. Let's search it tomorrow. You haven't eaten yet, right?" Melinda knew that it was not an easy task for Victor to find that.

He rubbed his eyes tiredly and said with a smile, "It's really hard to find it, but as long as it exists, I'm sure we can find it."

His words inexplicably made people have a sense of relief. Melinda rubbed her somewhat sore nose and nodded affirmatively. "Yes, but that's the end of today."

Victor didn't continue and he asked Melinda to turn off the computer. He cautiously waited for her to turn off the computer and then left. He couldn't help saying, "I have password for each computer in the department. Don't think too much."

Melinda smiled in embarrassment and then left the company with him. At the thought of that Victor hadn't had dinner yet, Melinda offered to invite him to have dinner.

"No problem. I haven't eaten in the sidewalk food stall for a long time. Let's go to the one by the river tonight. I've been missing its taste for a long time,"

Victor said, which made Melinda feel a little strange. The people of rich families she knew were all fastidious about meals. It was rare to see them in restaurants like sidewalk food stalls.

It was just that she was used to hiding all her doubts deep in her heart. She firmly believed that time would give her an answer to everything.

The sidewalk food stall by the river was not far from the company, which was several minutes' drive. Now it was very crowded. They waited for a while before they finally got the seats.

"Do you drink?"
