Chapter 361 Long Time No See
It was not until Melinda got downstairs that she realized the voice was from Alston's study.
As far as she knew, Alston was not at home, and the servants in the house would not easily go to the
master's study. She was a little scared, but she still quietly approached.
It took Yulia a long time to get the password of Yulia's study. Now she entered it after spending a lot of
time.
During this period of time, there were always some people in the family. It had been difficult to take
action. Today was a rare good opportunity, and no one was at home.
As a pregnant woman with inconvenient movements, Melinda was ignored by Yulia. Alston's study was
very big, and the sun couldn't shine in and she did not turn on the light. It was a little dark and
frightening.
Terrified, Yulia didn't dare to turn on the light. She turned on the flashlight and looked for something in
the study. Looking into it through the crack of the door, Melinda almost screamed. She quickly covered
her mouth and leaned against the wall.
Yulia looked like a ghost just now.
When Melinda looked inside again, she saw the furtive figure of Yulia, but she couldn't see clearly what
she was doing. She wanted to get closer, but she was afraid of being discovered.
Standing stiffly outside the study, Melinda dared not move. She could only see through the crack of the
door to see what was happening inside. It seemed that Yulia was looking for something.
When Yulia was about to come out, Melinda hurried to the next room and hid herself. The next room
was Queena's bedroom, which was well lit and brought Melinda back to her senses from the darkness
just now.
When she heard the noise from the next door, the door had been closed, and then hurried footsteps.
After making sure that Yulia had left, Melinda carefully opened the door of the bedroom.
Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she was even gasping for breath.
The distance from the second floor to the third floor made Melinda a little scared. Yulia lived at the
second floor, and she was afraid that Yulia would suspect her if she went to third floor now, so she went
straight to the first floor.
There were many servants on the first floor who were busy. When the maid saw Melinda, she hurried to
help her.
"Auntie, please make a glass of juice for me," Melinda said to the servant. Then she sat down in the
living room. She didn't dare to stay on the third floor alone at this time.
The uneasiness in her heart made her need to stay in a place with someone else.
The servant deftly made a cup of Melinda's favorite juice for her. The juice was just ready when Yulia
went downstairs. Looking at her, Melinda couldn't help but feel stiff.
"Hey, are you drinking juice? Auntie, help me make a cup of it, half sugar," Yulia said. Then she sat
down on the sofa next to Melinda calmly. Melinda held the cup in her hand quietly to keep herself calm.
She drank juice to hide her uneasiness. At the moment Melinda put down the glass, she had returned
to normal.
"Sis-in-law, why did you go downstairs today?" Yulia asked, pretending to chat normally. In fact, it was
because she had just done something secretly and she was afraid so that she walked out of her
bedroom. She didn't expect to see Melinda downstairs.
"I feel a little bored staying in the room all day long. I want to go downstairs and have a walk," Melinda
said. The smile at the corners of her mouth was impeccable. Yulia nodded, completely unaware that
what she had just done was seen by someone.
"Oh." Yulia didn't know what to say. In fact, she had a lot to say, but she didn't know how to say it in the
end, so she kept silent.
Moreover, as for Melinda, because of what happened last time, there were some misunderstandings
between her and Yulia. In addition, what happened just now made her unwilling to have too much
communication with Yulia.
So even if the two sat on the same sofa, the atmosphere was very embarrassing as if no one was
there.
After drinking the juice, Melinda excused herself that she was a little sleepy and asked the servant to
take her upstairs to rest.
On the other hand, after staying downstairs for a while, Yulia felt her heart pounding. The nervousness
and fear didn't relieve at all. She drank up a glass of juice and left the living room.
Unlike Melinda, she went to the outside of the Gu's mansion.
Having a rest in her room, Melinda didn't relax until she knew that Yulia went out. She guessed what
Yulia was doing just now, and then fell asleep in a daze.
When Jonas came back, he saw that Melinda was lying on the bed in an uncomfortable position. He
couldn't help frowning.
He asked about the time when Melinda went to the bed, and when he thought it was time to wake her
up, he gently woke her up. Melinda was still a little confused and didn't know where she was and what
time it was now.
But when she saw Jonas, she smiled brightly as usual.
"Jon." She put her arms around Jonas's neck and said coquettishly. Then she rubbed his body. Jonas
wanted to hold her up as usual, but he really couldn't do anything now.
"It's time to get up," Jonas said gently. Melinda rubbed her eyes and looked out of the window at the
sky.
"By the way, I have something to tell you, Jon." At the thought of what had happened this afternoon,
Melinda said.
Seeing the sad look on Melinda's face, Jonas's heart couldn't help but rise. He was worried that Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
something bad might happen again.
"What's the matter? Go ahead." Touching Melinda's head, Jonas said. He hoped that his woman could
be carefree and didn't have to think too much.
"Today, I saw that Yulia went to dad's study. She seemed to be looking for something. I was too heavy
to go forward and check,"
Melinda said with a little guilty, but Jonas still had a lingering fear. With such a heavy body, he couldn't
imagine the consequences if Yulia found out that Melinda was there at that time.
"In the following days, you just need to take good care of yourself and the baby. Don't think too much
about anything else, okay? I'll handle it properly. Trust me,"
Jonas said in a serious tone, making Melinda look straight into his eyes. The baby was not very stable.
Because of thinking too much, Melinda was emotionally unstable and almost had a miscarriage several
times.
He didn't want Melinda to know anything about the mess of the family.
"Okay, I know," Melinda said obediently. She wanted to protect the baby in her belly, so she didn't show
up today to expose Yulia.
And she believed that Jonas could handle it well.
At dinner time, almost all the family members came back, but only except for Yulia, who was still
outside. Melinda looked at Alston with a slightly complicated look, but said nothing in the end.
Since she said she would trust Jonas, she wouldn't interfere in this matter.
In the evening, after Melinda fell asleep, Jonas went to see her mother in person. Queena had been
suffering from insomnia these days and slept late at night, so when Jonas looked for her, she was still
sorting out the previous paintings.
Queena found that people liked to recall the past as they got older.
"It's so late. Why don't you stay in the bedroom with Mellie?" Queena looked at Jonas and said. Now
she thought that her son had grown up and was entangled with the past. It seemed that she was really
too competitive.
There were some things that needed to be taken lightly.
"Mellie is asleep. I have something to tell you," said Jonas. Then he walked forward and found a seat to
sit down. Behind the bed, there was a wedding photo of Queena and Alston.
The two people in the photo were still young and had a warm smile on their faces. It was hard to
imagine that they would be like this, quarreling all the time.
There was a glass of water on the head of Queena's bed, and beside it were two white pills, which
were the sleeping pills she had bought recently.
Jonas was sensitive enough to see it at once, but he didn't say it directly.
"What do you want to say?" Queena said, but her body blocked the sight of Jonas. She didn't want to
show her fragile side to her child.
"Linda has been taking care of her baby at home these days. I think you should keep an eye on Yulia at
home,"
said Jonas. He thought that Queena was overwhelmed by so many things recently, so he couldn't tell
her these things, which would only make her more uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Queena was a little confused, but she also knew that there must be a reason for it. Jonas
would not ask her to do something meaningless.
If Jonas didn't say it now, he would say it in the future. So she agreed without thinking too much.
After the family affairs were arranged, Jonas was a little relieved. But the fact that Alice was Emily was
like an uncertain bomb, which made him guard against it.
But the progress of the matter was beyond his expectation. Alice actually contacted Jonas and
proposed to meet him.
Alice knew from Colson that she might have been exposed, and that Jonas was investigating her
secretly, so she asked him to meet.
Without any hesitation, Jonas agreed to meet her in a teahouse reserved by Alice.
It seemed that there were more and more shops like this now, and this was an industry that had been
invested by Jonas for Emily, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Alice arrived at the appointed place early. Thinking of meeting that man, hatred grew in her heart in an
instant.
However, she also had to thank that man. If it weren't for his ruthlessness, she wouldn't have changed
today.
"Long time no see," Alice said this at the moment she saw Jonas. There was no need for her to say
anything else. He knew that the person in front of him was Emily.
"Are you surprised?" Emily smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes, which made him feel creepy.
