Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 193 In The Same Boat

"Is this a victory banquet?"

"Sort of," Melinda replied after a moment's reflection, in order to ease the relationship between her and

colleagues. After all, too many things had happened.

But fortunately, the past was past. She was in a good mood because of the happy event, and she

would not take those people's words seriously.

"Let me join you. It's a treat to the colleagues." Victor made a good excuse, leaving Melinda no excuse

to refuse him. And then he announced the news about the dinner in the staff group of his company.

Melinda had already booked the restaurant. When it was time to go off work in the evening, the staffs of

the company were divided into two or three, heading to the restaurant, which was bustling.

The banquet was very lively. People all gave Melinda face. At the dinner time, those who were incited

by the crowd to act, draw lots with wine bottles, and whoever was ordered couldn't refuse.

A group of people were having dinner, boisterously, but Michelle did not show up. The people in the

same department with her said that she was not feeling well, so she went home.

"Is Michelle Yu the one who helped Emily?" Melinda whispered to Victor in a low voice when no one

noticed her.

After the press conference, she was busy dealing with the media. And this matter was handled by

Victor. At this time, when Melinda asked, he just nodded, but said nothing.

"No one can refuse money," Melinda murmured, and took a sip of the fruit wine, depressed. The fresh

fruit flavor covered the taste of alcohol well, and did not burn her throat. It was just that this kind of

alcohol was very strong.

Most of the men sitting by the side of Victor were all toasting to him and Melinda. Taking advantage of

this opportunity to cotton up to him, he concerned about her in this way and didn't let her drink too

much.

The crowd didn't leave until it was eight o'clock. There were only two of them left. Melinda was slightly

drunk, but she was still sober. Victor was drunk with his face red.

"These people are really horrible."

Victor rubbed his temples as he spoke, and then Melinda asked the waiter for a glass of water for him.

After he drank the warm water, Victor felt much better. He leaned back on his seat lazily. Just when

Melinda felt that he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Melinda, have I

told you about my ex-wife?"

"You've mentioned once before."

Victor said that he had also been divorced, but he didn't talk much about his ex-wife. Melinda didn't

know much about him, let alone learn more about the people around him.

He sighed and was really a little drunk. At this time, he had the mood to confess in front of Melinda. He

wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to tell what had happened in the past as a story.

"You know that I'm a notorious playboy, right?" The expression in Victor's eyes was somewhat

unreadable, as if he was self-mocking or confused.

Victor had settled down his mind to live a calm life, but it became even worse after the divorce.

"Maybe in the eyes of your people, I'm rich. But in her eyes, I'm just poor. I'm just a relative of a rich

family. At last, she fell in love with a man who is richer than me.

During those days, we had fights every day. She talked a lot to me. It was from that time that I started

this company seriously."

He really told her the story of the past that made him feel a little unbearable. As expected, Melinda still

looked so calm.

"In the end, I also got tired of the marriage. So I agreed to divorce with her," said Victor, and many

things were skipped by him. From his expression, Melinda could tell that he must be in a bad mood at

that time.

Maybe he had made an effort to retain her, or he had a temper, or something else had happened, but

the final result was that he and his wife had divorced.

"I think you are quite encouraging," Melinda said with a smile on her face, as if it was magical, making

people feel a sense of warmth.

She spoke as usual, just like a casual conversation, but for some reason people turned their attention

to her, as if they would miss her words and feel regret.

Sometimes, language was a charming thing. The person who talked well always had a unique

temperament.

Melinda had struggled in the dark muddy land, and was more yearning for sunshine. At that time, the

sunlight was always far away from her, so she had lived into a warm look.

"Not as good as you," Victor said. There was a trace of sadness in his eyes. He thought, 'Maybe she

doesn't know that I'm Jonas's cousin even by now.'

The so-called rich relative referred to the Gu family.

"I'm conquering everyone with my own ability, okay?"

She pretended to be proud, just like a little kid in the kindergarten got a praise from teachers on Friday.

She felt proud and happy.

"Well, I hope you can support my company in the future. The famous writer, Melinda."

Victor finished his sentence, and Melinda laughed out loud. However, in the next second, she stopped

and looked in a direction with a sense of loss.

When Victor mentioned his ex-wife, Melinda couldn't help but think of Jonas.

"Have you thought about getting her back?" The question was asked without consideration. Melinda bit

her lips in a bit of chagrin. However, before she could make a response, Victor had answered, "Yes.

As you women always say, the best is to get what you can't get and what you lose is the best. I was

busy at that time in order to make the company better and I hoped she could come back to me."

Victor's words implied that he was an excellent female friend now and that he knew women very well.

"Do you want to dump her again after getting her?" Melinda asked Victor as she looked at him. She

thought that she was really drunk. How could she take Victor as Jonas and ask such a question?

Victor was a little surprised by her question. "Maybe," he answered after thinking for a while.

No one was willing to admit that they were the losers in love, so they used such a childish way to prove

that they were the winner.

But they never thought that such a relationship would end up with both sides being hurt. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"Why did you divorce with your ex-husband?" After opening the talking gate, Victor couldn't help but

ask. Melinda was playing with the cup in her hand, and answered as if nothing had happened, "It's the

same."

Jonas liked Emily, so she chose to quit. From this point of view, she and Victor were really pathetic in

the same boat.

"You still love him, don't you?"

Victor said in a certain tone. Every time, though Melinda tended to avoid when facing Jonas, she had

no choice but to accept what she could do.

She tolerated the people she loved. If it was anyone else, Melinda would be absolutely merciless.

"I will let it go, sooner or later," Melinda said with a smile, but in her heart, there seemed to be a little

person refuting the words.

The two of them were chatting randomly. Seeing that it was not early, Melinda suggested, "You have

drunk a lot. Let me call a designated driver for you."

"No, thanks. I have a room upstairs. Be careful when you go back. Call me when you arrive home."

Every time they had dinner together, Victor would get drunk, so he would book a room in the hotel

above the restaurant, and the living assistant would send his clothes to the hotel the next day.

It was getting late when Melinda came home by taxi. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she

found that Jonas had sent her many messages.

"I'm going to rest."

Holding her phone in her hand, Melinda hesitated for a long time. Finally, she sent a message to Jonas

and then threw her phone away.

Jonas had been waiting for the response of Melinda. He clicked on the message excitedly. Seeing the

message, he felt like being poured cold water on him.

Tonight, in the restaurant, when he saw that Melinda was smiling at Victor, he really wanted to go over

and break everything. At last, he managed to bear it. Now when he calmed down, he began to panic.

He was worried that Melinda would leave him because of Victor.

He couldn't help but pay close attention to Melinda. What he got from her was that she was getting

closer to Victor. After what happened last time, her attitude towards Victor changed a lot.

As an old saying goes, "a clean hand wants no washing." Melinda didn't have to avoid contacting with

Victor. She did not deliberately avoid getting along with him, just like treating an ordinary friend.

Victor was a smart man. He saw the changes of Melinda and the way they got along with each other

quietly, which made both of them feel comfortable and give each other more chances to get along with

each other.

When Jonas knew this, he could only be anxious in his heart. He walked back and forth, which made

Nelson's eyes almost turn blue. Queena was sitting next to him, with her eyes closed and her head

rubbing.

"Jonas, what happened?" Since when did Jonas behave like this at home? Even if he had something to

deal with, he would deal with it in the small villa by himself.

When his mother asked him, Jonas turned to Nelson and managed to say, "Grandpa, it has been a

long time since the last time you saw Linda."

Nelson was stunned, but soon smiled. He thought, 'It seems that the reason why Jonas has done so

much is to ask me, an old man, to help him.'

"What? You miss her? You pissed her off, didn't you?" Nelson calmly drank the tea, and even told

Queena the story and background of the tea, in order to ignore Jonas.

"Dad, look how worried Jonas is. Just help him." Queena still cared about her son. Seeing his mother

standing by his side, Jonas felt relieved.

Nelson was a little hesitant. Now he didn't want Melinda to do anything that would make herself

unhappy because of anyone.

If he proposed to meet Melinda, she would naturally not refuse.

"Without Melinda, the house is a little desolate," Nelson said in an emotion, and finally agreed to have a

talk with Melinda. The anxiety on the face of Jonas faded a little. Queena put in a good word for Jonas

to comfort Nelson.
