There were only two people left in the bedroom quietly. Jonas wanted to catch up with Melinda and explain, but was stopped by Vern.
Seeing that Melinda was so sad, Vern blamed himself.
It was his fault that Melinda felt uncomfortable.
"Jonas, you're a good boy and you've always been excellent. When my father said he wanted to marry Melinda to you, I thought she must be lucky,"
Vern sighed with emotion. His family was just civilian, and he had a career, but that was to make his family a little rich, which was not able to compare with Gu's family.
At that time, he wondered what irritated Leonard so that he could have such an impossible idea.
When what he thought came true, Jonas's indifferent attitude towards Melinda made him believe that everything was true. Since then, he had been worried that Melinda might have a hard time in the Gu family.
Melinda had always been keeping worries from them and only telling them good news. So many years had passed, but he still knew nothing about the marriage.
"I'm so lucky to have met Linda."
Jonas always knew that the marriage was unequal in many people's view, but he didn't expect that even Vern thought so.
What kind of pressure did Linda come under when she stayed with him?
"Don't beat around the bush. I only have one question to ask. I hope you can give me a serious answer."
Vern's eyes became serious, instead of the kind and pleasant look he had had in front of Jonas before. Jonas could not help but straighten his back.
"Is it because of Emily that you divorced from Mellie?"
If Jonas loved someone else, he would never let his daughter suffer this.
"Yes. But it's not because I like Emily, but because Linda's afraid that she might get hurt because of Emily." Hearing this, Vern looked pale. Jonas explained more clearly, and then Vern's expression became better.
"Dad, you and I can swear that I will only love Linda in my whole life. I don't love Emily at all. It's just a mistake."
Afraid that Vern might retort him and take the side of Melinda, Jonas said hurriedly.
"Everyone can say sweet words." Vern hummed coldly and included himself.
"Dad, please trust me. I'll definitely woo Linda again and let her be willing to remarry me." Jonas had always been a calm person, and now he was even more firm in making a promise in front of Vern.
At the thought of Melinda, Jonas didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. Melinda didn't know how much her father cared about her, though she couldn't see.
"I trust you, son. I just hope that she could think it through as soon as possible," Vern said with a sigh. Although Melinda looked peaceful, she was very stubborn in her bones.
"Dad, don't worry. I won't let you down."
Hearing that, Vern felt relieved finally, but he still warned him in a harsh voice. "If you make Mellie hurt, I will never let you go so easily."
"I will spoil her."
The two men looked at each oth
at person.
"So you mean you won't agree?"
"Right. No way!"
"It seems that there is nothing to talk about." Holley put the glass on the table, stood up and wiped her lips. She was going to leave at ease just like when she came in at ease.
"Miss Huang, wait!" Seeing that Holley was about to leave, Jerry quickly grabbed her.
Holley was very thin, and the body covered under the clothes was like a bone. For a moment, Jerry felt that what he was grabbing was not her arm, but a skeleton. It was very frightening.
He withdrew his hand in an instant. With a sneer, Holley swung her arm and didn't look at Jerry at all.
"Anything else?" Holley had already walked to the door. Seeing that Jerry was chasing after her, she felt a burst of joy in her heart.
But she appeared to be calm and even indifferent.
"Emily agrees," Jerry said sincerely, with his eyes full of schemes.
Holley was a little surprised. Emily changed her mind in such a short time. Anyway, she did not look like a person like this. Holley's inquiring eyes fell on Jerry.
"Well, she regretted as soon as you left. As long as she can deal with Melinda, she will agree to all the requirements,"
said Jerry with a straight face. It was completely hard to tell that it was all his own decision.
"She was firm just now," Holley said in a sarcastic tone. After making a lot of excuses for Emily, Jerry finally came to the point. "Can you tell me how to deal with Jonas?"
Jerry's eyes were full of expectations, and he was eager to know what kind of method Holley had to use to deal with Jonas.
The man's life was so perfect that he wanted to destroy it. At this time, Jerry's hatred was not hidden at all. Seeing this, Holley smiled with satisfaction in her heart.
She had investigated Jerry and knew that he would be a good chess piece.
She could use the person who was full of hatred easily, but Emily could counterattack at any time, which was frightening.
