Forgive My Ex-husband
Chapter 153 Give Up

It was a huge gamble and she had nothing at all so she had nothing to fear.

Since Melinda had a target in her heart and knew what she should do, she quickly contacted the media and spread the news that she was going to divorce Jonas.

Those media who received the news were naturally excited.

The love between the young master of the Gu family was not as simple as it looked.

All the media were in an uproar. Melinda just released the news but didn't want to tell the reason. But it didn't matter, because the media was best at making groundless accusations. Things went on as they expected. Early the next morning, as if they had made an appointment, all of them gathered at the downstairs of the Soaring Group.

Just as Jonas pulled over, his car was besieged by a crowd of media. The security guards were scared by the scene. They quickly arranged security personnel to isolate the group. "Mr. Jonas, we got the news last night that you are going to divorce Mrs. Melinda. Is that true?"

"Mr. Jonas, please accept our interview, will you?"

"Mr. Jonas, are you divorced because of love or something else, or you have been pretending to love each other all the time?"

п

The media kept asking questions one after another like cannonballs. When Jonas heard the word "divorce", he stopped.

Jonas, like an eagle, stared at the first reporter who made a speech. The whole crowd fell silent for a moment, and the reporter couldn't help but shrink a little.

"Who is it that makes the rumor that my wife and I will divorce?"

The word "divorce" was like a bomb exploding in his head. His rage almost spread to the whole company.

"We all received a mysterious call last night, saying that you are going to divorce Mrs. Melinda, and we just need the truth," the reporter answered boldly. However, he was too scared to control himself. "This is a rumor. I warn you not to spread it, or you will face the consequences."

Jonas wanted to fly into a rage, but his sense finally controlled him.

The words "face the consequences" were like a mountain instantly pressed on the back of the media. Everyone was thinking that no matter whether the news was true or not, they did not dare to report it. Jonas was born with a commanding presence, so impressive.

What happened this morning was just like a farce. The media came and left in a hurry. The result was not good enough for Melinda.

This was not the result she wanted.

Melinda simply couldn't stay at home. She printed another divorce agreement and directly went to the Soaring Group.

No one dared to stop her when she was here. She had no barrier all the way to the CEO office.

It was said that Jonas had kept on attending meetings, but the busy Jonas who was sitting in his chair was in a daze. The office was full of smoke.

Melinda waved her hand in front of her nose. The curtain of the French window was drawn, and the office was a little dark. She walked to the remote control and opened the curtain.

With the sound of mechanical sliding, the room gradually brightened up. With an uncomfortable frown, Jonas opened his eyes and was about to rebuke, only to replace that the person was Melinda.

Even though he had tried to escape for many days, he had to face the moment. Melinda squinted at him, and just noticed a bloody red dot flashing in his position.

She was surprised to replace that he was surrounded by cigarette butts. No wonder it was so thick.

"Jonas, let's have a talk."

When the smoke dissipated a lot, Melinda came up to the opposite side of Jonas and showed the divorce agreement in her hand to him again.

"I've told you to turn to my lawyer for such stuff." Jonas put out the cigarette in his hand and sat in his seat elegantly with his hands crossed. He looked at Melinda with a touch of sadness in his eyes. "Is that funny?"

Melinda asked. Jonas was escaping from facing the problem. She could do nothing just by talking again and again with a lawyer.

"You can't even persuade my lawyer. How can you convince me?" asked Jonas in reply. He did it on purpose. As long as it could stall for time, he would do this at any time.

The best solution was to keep it like this forever.

"I have reported to the media that we are going to divorce."

Melinda put her hand on the divorce agreement. This time, what was different from before was that there was no her signature on it.

Jonas looked at her in shock. He had been wondering who released the news, but he didn't think it would be her.

But thinking of it again, Jonas thought it was reasonable.

Melinda was the one who would do that most. 'Why is she so anxious to divorce me? Do I really have no chance at all?'

Countless questions hovered in Jonas's mind.

"Jonas, if we don't divorce, I will not only expose the news of divorce, but also expose those photos to the media, including the ones in the hotel. At that time, the influence will not only fall on you," Melinda said cruelly. She had asked Kent about this saying. It seemed that she was not born to be a cruel person.

She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, as if she was giving some time for Jonas to think, but soon she continued, "Pure and innocent Emily was a mistress who destroyed other people's family. The CEO of the Soaring Group is irresponsible. It's exciting to think about these news."

Melinda seemed to have recalled what would happen at that time, and the smile on her face became bigger.

She controlled the progress very well at this time. If Jonas cared about Emily and the company, he wouldn't have let Emily be destroyed and the company's reputation would not be damaged.

Jonas just felt depressed. It never occurred to him that one day Melinda would take the company's reputation to negotiate with him, and the content was divorce. "Melinda, can't you trust me?"

After a long silence, Jonas answered slowly. He had asked the question many times, but he just couldn't accept the answer.

Hearing this, Melinda seemed like hearing a big joke. She used to give all her heart to Jonas, but how did he treat her?

How could Jonas accuse her of believing him now?

"No, I can't,"

Melinda said immediately. She didn't want to see her heart be messed up again. Every time she trusted him, the result would only be that she got hurt. The only happiness she had was temporary, but also mixed with interests.

All she wanted was pure love, but Jonas could not afford it.

"Why not?"

Jonas asked in a very low voice. If it weren't for it was quiet in the room and there were only two of them in this room, Melinda wouldn't have heard it.

In the face of his question, Melinda was also absent-minded for a moment. Yes, she didn't know why she should trust him.

Trust was illusory. But there was one more time. When she loved him, she would not be afraid even if Jonas pointed a gun at her. She believed that Jonas would not hurt her.

But when one didn't love someone, no matter what he or she sent to the person, the person would suspect that he or she was using the poison.

"I think I have seen it clearly now. And I want to give up,"

Melinda replied with her eyes closed. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat. At this time, she really hoped that the curtain hadn't been drawn, and then she could use the darkness to hide her fragility. However, in such a bright environment, she must be strong and couldn't show any flinch.

Melinda warned herself. She still kept a straight face and looked at Jonas with a blank expression in her eyes, and only she knew how she felt.

Silence reigned the whole office. They sat and stood face to face but didn't utter a word. The words "I give up" kept repeating in Jonas's mind.

Did she give up their relationship? After so many years, was she finally tired?

That was what he had been looking forward to. When he realized his heart at that moment, he felt his heart had been dug up.

The pain and the stifling pain made him seem to be placed in the sea of fire, surrounded by endless flames and a suffocating feeling. Obviously, it was winter.

"Give up. I don't love you any more, Jonas. Let me go. It has been six years."

After saying this, Melinda lowered her head. It turned out that she did not have the strong calmness as she had imagined. When she really had to give up, she would still feel painful.

'It doesn't matter. One will remember after the pain. Melinda, hold on,' she thought to herself.

In fact, it had been only five years. Thinking of all that had happened over the past few years and what he had done to Melinda, Jonas found that there was nothing worthy Melinda's trust.

The only thing he brought to her was endless pain. The girl who was once fond of laughing was tortured so hard that she even forgot how to laugh.

Jonas couldn't help but think of his unborn child. If the child didn't die and survived, what would happen between him and Melinda?

But what done was done.

Jonas's fingers were a little trembling. He picked up the pen with which he had signed lots of big contracts and took the divorce agreement in front of him. Melinda raised her head to look at him. It seemed that he was reading a very important contract. He read it through slowly and finally signed his name.

Jonas didn't say a word during the whole process. He just silently signed the agreement with two copies signed. But only a careful person could replace that his fingers were trembling like an old man.
