Chapter 47 A New Label

Knowing that Melinda wasn't actually pregnant, Jonas couldn't help but feel upset. Even so, he did his best not to show it. Soon after, the two went back home.

Melinda had always known that Nelson was looking forward to have a great-grandchild. Because of this, she knew that he would be disappointed to find out that she was not pregnant. Still, she had to break the news to him.

Although Nelson was in a low mood, he still put on smile. "It doesn't matter. You are still young! Don't worry, you have plenty of time to have kids," he comforted.

"I'm really sorry, Grandpa," Melinda mumbled.

Guilt washed over her at that moment—not because she failed to get pregnant, but because she actually didn't want to have another child with Jonas. It was such a complicated feeling in her heart.

"Silly girl. It's not your fault at all. The doctor said that you are just probably exerting yourself too much. From now on, just take good care of yourself and I'm sure you'll get pregnant in no time."

Nelson mistook Melinda's sadness, thinking that she was upset because she couldn't get pregnant. Unconsciously, Melinda bit her lower lip. Sometimes she thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have children just so that she could make Nelson happy. However, she did not want to raise children in a home that had a broken family.

Melinda was certain that her relationship with Jonas would be over sooner or later.

The news of Melinda's false pregnancy made some happy while others sad. A lot of people were highly aware of the significance of her pregnancy in this family.

Needless to say, Nelson thought highly of her, and Jonas had taken good care of her recently.

Yulia was happy that Melinda didn't get pregnant. Otherwise, she would be really worried as she wouldn't know how she should proceed.

After the two returned to their villa, Melinda turned on her computer and began to type on the keyboard. There was a lot of inspiration and ideas flooding through her mind, and she didn't want to miss it.

Jonas walked in on her, seeing her busily typing away. "Are you writing again?" he asked.

It was not the first time that Jonas had seen such a situation, but it was the first time that he asked. There was no aversion in his tone unlike in the past. Slowly but surely, he had accepted a lot of things about Melinda.

"Yes. I've had a lot of free time on my hands recently."

Yulia's fake kindness ruined everything, and since the last draft was lost, she was not in the mood for writing for a few days. Today, however, she was in the mood to get her writing done.

It was such a thrill for her to write. Whenever she wrote a sentence she liked, she couldn't help but sit back and smile to herself, admiring her work.

"What are you writing right now?"

Jonas seldom read novels, and mostly read classics and prose. Melinda looked up at him with a subtle expression in her eyes, and finally said helplessly, "I don't think you'd be interested in this."

Love stories were definitely not his cup of tea. Melinda knew that he only read those books with complicated theories and difficult vocabulary and was aware that it was a bit boring for him to read love stories.

Jonas shrugged it off and went to work at the study. It was a nice and quiet moment in their villa.

As Melinda was writing, a piece of news popped up in her laptop. It was a report about Emily. Seeing this, Melinda clicked on it out of instinct.

Emily was filming a new movie recently. It sta

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

hough it seemed that Yulia was concerned about her, Melinda knew that she was actually calling her a lazy woman. Though rich people's wives didn't need to make money by themselves, they often took part in various activities or banquets to stabilize their husband's connections. Melinda, however, didn't do things like that.

She narrowed her eyes at Yulia and was about to speak back, but Nelson interrupted.

"Melinda is not in a good health! She needs to have a good rest so that she could get pregnant. Besides, we have a lot of people working for us. What else do I need her to do?"

Yulia gritted her teeth. It annoyed her that Nelson always sided with Melinda without a second thought. What was more, Melinda wasn't even aware what Nelson was doing for her.

'This bitch! Always taking advantage of Grandpa's kindness,' Yulia thought to herself grudgingly.

"You are not a little girl anymore, Yulia. I think you'd understand what Grandpa is trying to say,"

Melinda deliberately spoke with an air of shyness, assuming that Yulia was no longer a virgin. Of course, Yulia understood what Melinda was trying to imply, and couldn't help but feel humiliated.

'How dare she say such shameless thing? And in front of Grandpa! What a slut!'

On most days, Melinda really did nothing much. She would only show up when it was time for their meals, and would retire back to her bedroom or go out somewhere right after. Because of this, Yulia deliberately slandered her in front of a lot of people.

Soon enough, a lot of people in the upper class thought that Melinda was the epitome of a lazy woman. It didn't bother Melinda though, thinking that Yulia was just bored with her own life.

Only a brainless person like Yulia would do such a disgraceful thing to hurt the reputation of her family. With the protection of Nelson, Melinda was able to save some face.

But Yulia just wouldn't stop. At first, Melinda didn't think it was necessary for Nelson to fight back before, but now she had to teach Yulia a lesson.

After years of struggling and climbing in the upper society, Melinda had her own way to solve the problem. Not everyone was blind. She also met some people, so she asked them to help her investigate the matter.

As it turned out, Yulia had a tightly-knit group, and they had done a lot of bad things.
