Chapter 46 Pregnancy


    Jonas''s attitude was driving Emily insane but she still held on to thest of her hope. She wished for


    Jonas to touch her at least once, which would change their lives forever.


    The two had grown up together, influencing each other''s lives. Besides, Jonas had left Melinda for her


    many times. Emily believed that Jonas was in love with her. She wanted him to realize it sooner so that


    they could start a life together.


    "Jonas, my friend has opened a new restaurant. Will youe with me to attend the party this


    evening?"


    Emily had made a bold promise to her friends. She said that she woulde to the party with Jonas,


    thinking he woulde with her. But she was worried to see him being distant. She didn''t want to be


    embarrassed before her friends.


    Jonas pursed his lip. His mind flitted to Melinda''s beautiful face and a smile lingered on his lips. Emily


    heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him smile. She was sure that Jonas would go to the party with


    her.


    "Emily, I''ll go with you some other time."


    Jonas''s words hit Emily like a bucket of cold water. She was shocked and didn''t know how to react.


    "Jonas, are you going to apany her?" Emily asked, hissing through her teeth.


    Jonas frowned at Emily''s response.


    He was suspicious about Emily''s behavior but he quickly rearranged his expression.


    "Emily, I''ve been very busytely."


    Emily''s face turned pale. Jonas usually apanied her without protesting. He would blindly follow her


    words without raising any questions.


    "I see. I won''t bother you anymore."


    Emily bit her lip to stop herself from crying. She stood up and left as tears streamed down her face.


    She couldn''t ept the rejection. Emily felt as if Jonas had gone too far away from her.


    She fisted her palms tightly to control her emotions. Her knuckles turned white and her fingernails sank


    into the skin but the pain was nothingpared to the heaviness in her heart. The blue veins on her


    wrist pulsated wildly.


    After Emily left, Jonas continued to do his work in peace. Everyone in his office knew that their


    workaholic boss had been leaving early these days.


    Nelson was happy to witness the change in Jonas. He usually preferred his grandson to work hard and


    earn well. But he was d to see Jonas get closer to Melinda.


    But one thing seemed to bother Nelson a lot. Although Jonas and Melinda had been in a rtionship


    for a long time, there was still no news about Melinda''s pregnancy.


    At dinner, the whole family sat together as usual, but the atmosphere was strained tonight.


    "Jonas you should eat more. I''ve asked the cook to prepare healthy dishes for you," Nelson said.


    Jonas scrunched his nose in distaste as he saw the nd, healthy food on the table. They were


    nutritious but not tasty. Melinda covered her mouth with her hand and snickered. Jonas''s reaction was


    priceless.


    Jonas was embarrassed as he was aware that Nelson doubted his manhood. He had specifically


    cooked all the food to make him stronger in bed so that Nelson would get to cuddle his grandchildren


    soon. Melinda chuckled at the horrified expression on Jonas''s face.


    "Grandpa, what''s the point in feeding me with all these food when Melinda is too weak to bear


    children?" Jonas said as he winked at Melinda.


    Melinda''s smile was wiped off from her face in an instant. She felt ufortable by Jonas''s remark.

    Nelson knitted his eyebrows and looked at Melinda. "Jonas is right. You are too thin, Mellie. I''ve heard


    that it''s risky for puny women to get pregnant. You need to eat more and put on some weight. Gavin


    has specifically prepared these for you."


    Melinda frowned at the array of food before her. They didn''t look good either. They were just as nd


    and tasteless as Jonas''s food.


    "You are too weak. I will ask the doctor to prescribe a tonic to improve your strength," Nelson added,


    shaking his head.


    Melinda''s mouth popped open in shock. She hated the bitter taste and smell of herbs.


    Jonas and Melinda staggered to their vi as they were full. Nelson was like a tyrant who forced them


    to finish the food. Melinda usually ate like a bird but with Nelson''s supervision she ate doubling the


    amount of her usual food and almost threw up.


    Gavin felt sorry for them and told Nelson that too much of good food was also bad, so Nelson finally let


    them go.


    Jonas was usually wild in bed, and he had been repressing his desire recently. Although he was


    embarrassed by Nelson''s remarks, his words seemed to spark a fire within him.


    He had spent all his life thinking about his feelings and emotions. But for the first time, Jonas cared for


    someone else too. He ced Melinda''s feelings above his.


    Since Melinda was writhing with a stomach ache, Jonas asked her to lie on the sofa and massaged her


    belly. Her usually t stomach was slightly protruding because of the excessive food. Jonas felt that it


    was incredibly cute and poked her belly yfully.


    "Let''s go for a walk." Jonas smiled and extended his hand for Melinda to take.


    Nelson was constantly urging them to have a baby. Jonas and Melinda were too embarrassed to be


    around him and preferred hiding in their own vi. Melinda nced at Jonas. She could sense what he


    was thinking.


    Jonas had been debating whether he should talk to Melinda about having a baby or not. By the time he


    concluded, he was already standing by the door of Melinda''s room.


    Melinda was wearing a thin nightdress that clung on to the right ces, hinting what was underneath.


    The gentle breeze ruffled Melinda''s hair as she nced at Jonas quizzically, which made her look


    incredibly cute. Melinda was looking like a sexy night elf and Jonas''s mouth watered at the sight of her.


    A wave of desire washed over him as he walked towards Melinda. His mind was begging him to shove


    her against the wall and kiss her until they were breathless, but he didn''t know how she would react.


    He stepped forward and wrapped his arms across her waist.


    Melinda stared at him with wide eyes. Jonas could see both fear and excitement in her face. She


    hesitantly draped her arms around Jonas''s neck and closed her eyes.


    Jonas took Melinda''s move as a sign of encouragement. His heart began to race rhythmically in his


    chest.


    Melinda and Jonas were reveling in ecstasy as they made slow, passionate love.


    Melinda had the best experience of her life as Jonas was careful and made sure she enjoyed it.


    Nelson was joyous to see the change in Jonas. He was kind and gentle towards Melinda, which inted


    his hope of having a great-grandchild soon.


    Melinda puked at the dinner table and Nelson''s eyes sparkled with happiness.


    "Mellie, are you okay? I''ll ask Jonas to take you to the hospital tomorrow. You could be pregnant,"


    Nelson said, grinning happily.


    Nelson had noticed the changes in Melinda''s behavior. She had been sleepy and exhausted for the


    past couple of days, so he concluded that she was pregnant.


    "Grandpa, I''m fine. I''m just a little tired, and that''s all."


    Jonas''s presence had a great impact on her mental health. She had been stressedtely. She couldn''t


    comprehend Jonas''s behavior and decided to stay away from him. Even if they got along well, the


    memories of her ugly past haunted her. It sucked the happiness and joy out of her. She couldn''t sleep


    well as her mind was in aplete mess.


    But Nelson was adamant about taking her to the doctor.


    Yulia swallowed loudly and looked at Melinda. She became tense. Melinda had already managed to


    wrap everyone around her fingers. If she was pregnant, no one would care about Yulia. She would


    be invisible in the Gu family.


    At the vi, Jonas was busy with business. Melinda rarely had the time to rest. She had been paying a


    lot of attention to Jonastely that she almost forgot to write her novels.


    Melinda was a perfectionist. During the days when shecked inspiration, she would transform her


    jumbled thoughts into words and meticulously edit them over and over again, until she waspletely


    satisfied.


    Yulia seldom came to Melinda''s ce as she was intimidated by her. Moreover, Jonas would always be


    there to protect her. Melinda was wearing ck and white pajamas, and her hair was pulled into a


    messy bun. She was sitting under the shade of the tree in the yard as her fingers danced on the


    keyboard dexterously.


    "Melinda, you are pregnant. You can''t use theptop. It''s not good for the baby."


    Melinda was engrossed in her writing and didn''t notice Yulia''s presence. Before she could realize who it


    was, Yulia grabbed theptop and deliberately deleted her manuscript.


    Melinda red at Yulia as all her efforts had gone waste.


    "Yulia, what the hell did you do?" she screamed.


    Melinda rarely got angry but she was furious this time. Yulia had ruined all her efforts and Melinda


    wanted to beat her to a pulp.


    "I didn''t mean to do it. It was an ident. Stop yelling at me," Yulia said.


    Melinda grabbed theptop from Yulia, closed her eyes, and blew out a loud breath. She had spilled


    her guts out and was frustrated that her manuscript was gone. Even though she remembered the


    scenes, she knew that she wouldn''t be able to write it with the same emotion and depth.


    Melinda tried writing but she was too distracted and finally gave up. She decided to go for a walk.


    When she was taking a stroll across the yard, she saw Yulia staring at her. She was waiting for her with


    the car keys.


    "Yulia, stop pretending as you care. You wish I had an abortion, don''t you?"


    Melinda said, sneering at Yulia. Yulia was angry and embarrassed as her thoughts were exposed but


    she continued to bother Melinda.


    She couldn''t see Melinda live a happy life.


    When Jonas returned from work, Nelson informed him that Melinda could be pregnant. His face


    beamed with joy and he was grinning like an idiot. He couldn''t wait to see her.


    Melinda had been grumpy because of Yulia but Jonas thought that she was experiencing mood swings


    because of her pregnancy. Melinda was annoyed by the sudden attention and care.


    She felt that Jonas cared for her only because he thought that she was carrying his baby. The thought


    of it made her angry.


    "I''m not pregnant, Jonas. Take me to the hospital to confirm it," Melinda snapped. Melinda wanted to


    spend time outdoors but Yulia always ruined her ns. Melinda could feel that she wasn''t pregnant and


    didn''t want to crush Jonas''s hopes.


    Jonas was shocked. He felt that Melinda was telling the truth. They packed their things and left for the


    hospital. Since Jonas was by her side, Yulia didn''t dare to cause trouble.


    The urine test was a tedious process, so Melinda asked the doctor for a pregnancy test paper. The final


    result revealed that she was not pregnant.


    Melinda''s heart became heavy. She couldn''t understand herplicated emotions. She didn''t know


    whether to be disappointed or relieved. Everything seemed too confusing.
