Chapter 33 Mrs. Gu

"I want mango flavor."

Melinda called, grinning happily. A smile tugged at the corners of Jonas's lips as he was waiting in line to get an ice cream cone for her.

Holley strutted towards Jonas and interlinked her arms with his. But he wriggled away from her hold.

"Jonas, don't you see that she's doing it intentionally?"

Holley said anxiously. If someone had told Holley that Jonas would wait in a long queue one day to get an ice cream cone for Melinda, she would have laughed.

She didn't expect that things would change in Melinda's favor soon. Holley felt as if her entire world had fallen apart.

"Mellie likes it,"

Jonas said, shrugging casually. Melinda's skin broke into goose bumps when she heard Jonas's words. Her heart started to beat frantically. Holley's eyes widened with shock. She stomped her foot angrily. "Have you fallen in love with that bitch?"

Holley felt that Jonas wouldn't fall in love with a woman like Melinda. She pacified her wounded heart by telling herself that Nelson must have forced Jonas to get along with Melinda. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"She is Mrs. Gu,"

Jonas grunted as his body stiffened. Holley opened her mouth to say something but decided against it. She didn't want to annoy Jonas.

Jonas smiled at Melinda who was relishing her ice cream cone. "You should have given me a bite," Jonas said, arching an eyebrow.

"Mr. Gu, eating ice cream isn't good for you. You need to start taking your medicines."

Melinda tried hard to suppress her laughter. She loved teasing Jonas. Her eyebrows furrowed when she saw Holley standing behind him.

"We are on a date and you've brought your ex-girlfriend with you. You're impossible, Mr. Gu."

Jonas didn't know why Melinda called him Mr. Gu. He wondered if she was making fun of him or preferred calling him that. Whatever the reason was, Jonas loved it when she called him Mr. Gu.

"Melinda, stop acting too smart, you..." Holley lost her cool and was seething with rage. Jonas called his bodyguards and instructed them to take Holley away. He didn't want her disturbing their date.

The entire day had passed in the blink of an eye. They had shopped a lot of things and Melinda was happy about making Holley jealous. Unfortunately, she had to face some repercussions too. The cool drinks and ice creams were ravaging her stomach.

Several days later, they finally decided to put an end to their act. Jonas headed to work and Melinda stayed home to write.

When Jonas went to his office, Holley was already waiting for him. She had tried hard breaking his relationship with Melinda but all her plans had failed. Even the web series didn't go smoothly and Holley was in a mess.

Holley had come to borrow money from Jonas. The allocated budget was not enough.

"Holley, do you think that I'm running a charity? I don't mind lending money but you should at least pay the interest on time,"

Jonas said, twirling the pen with his fingers. Holley had been busy planning to destroy Melinda and didn't pay enough attention to work. The web series would have been a huge hit if she had

he didn't have the time for his wife.

"No, I'm happy to spend the day writing and watching TV series," Melinda replied with a smile.

"You're a young lady. You need to go out often. There is an auction tonight and I want you to accompany me. I won't let you stay at home all day. Kids need to chill out."

Nelson patted her head and smiled. He wanted Melinda to enjoy her life.

When Melinda was little, she used to have dreams about traveling the world. But she understood the harsh reality of life when she grew up. Dreams don't always come true.

"Grandpa, I'm not a little kid anymore, I will be thirty soon."

Nelson frowned.

"You will always be a kid to me."

Nelson had made up his mind to take Melinda to the auction. He instructed Gavin to send the invites to everyone. He lauded his granddaughter-in-law before the guests.

Everyone complimented Melinda even if they secretly despised her. Jonas had ruined her reputation but no one had the audacity to speak ill of Melinda in front of Nelson.

Nelson had bought a pair of necklace and earrings to show everyone how much he adored her. Jonas paid for the jewelry without protesting.

Jonas was shocked by Nelson's generosity but didn't complain about it. Melinda quickly changed into an evening gown and wore the jewelry set that Nelson had got for her. She didn't look like a normal girl anymore. She had turned into an opulent beauty.

Nelson loved enjoying every moment of his life. Melinda was always well-behaved and her world was restricted within the walls of the Gu's mansion. She hardly stepped out. She spent her time writing books, watching TV, and taking care of Nelson.

Nelson wanted Melinda to live her life to the fullest. He ordered Gavin to pay attention to all the fun activities in the city. He wanted to take her to different places and make her happy.

Nelson had openly admitted that he loved Melinda more than anyone else. Jonas was jealous of Melinda as he got his grandfather's undivided love and attention while he was working hard to pay for their considerable expenses.
