Chapter 233 Trying To Be Together

After all the people left, Kent gradually came back to his senses. His legs were almost trembling when
he returned to the car, but when he opened the door, he was still shocked.

"Sir," he said in astonishment. Hadn't Vern already gone with Jonas? With such astonishment in his
heart, Kent slowly got in the car.

He still trembled slightly. When he put his hand on the steering wheel, he found that he could not
control the car at all. He loosened his hands in frustration.

"Are you okay?" Vern asked. He was supposed to leave just now, but thinking of what this young man
told him when they were in danger, he asked Jonas to send him to this car.

Jonas had to do as he said.

"It's okay. I'll be fine after some rest," Kent said, a little embarrassed. He couldn't believe that his legs
were shaking because of the fight just now.

He had been living by law and hadn't touched these gray zones. That kind of shock from the deep of
his heart made him scared.

What made him so scared was that he accepted it so quickly.

"You're Mellie's senior, right? She once told me about you." Vern didn't know who he was until he took
a closer look at him.

In Melinda's college days, she always talked about Jonas, and then a senior who was nice to her.

In Melinda's heart, Kent was a senior who was nice to everyone. She had never thought that Kent was
only nice to her.



"Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Kent Jiang."

Kent didn't expect that Melinda would mention him in front of her father. He was flattered and couldn't
help but speak more reserved.

"You are a good man." Vern never forgot the moment when Kent rushed in. He was also a little tired
now. Kent was a sensible person. He let him lie down and have a rest. And Kent said that when he
arrived home, he would wake him up.

Vern' father accepted. He was not as energetic as when he was young.

Especially when he just recovered from a serious illness.

Kent drove Vern home. But there was a mess at home because those people broke in this place.

"Sir, you can have a rest in the living room. I'll clean the bedroom for you." When seeing the scene,
Kent could almost imagine how Vern resisted at that time.

"It's okay. You must be shocked today. Go back and have a rest." Looking at his own room, Vern said
calmly, as long as there was a place for him to stay.

They had been used to this kind of life, so they didn't care about it. Especially because they were born
in the military family, the hard work was almost a family training.

Although Vern didn't think it was a big deal, Kent still cleaned the house carefully and prepared food for
him. His food was simple but showed that he was very considerate.

Kent believed that Jonas would strengthen his protection for Vern. He didn't worry about him, took the
things he prepared to Vern and left immediately.

Now that Vern was safe, Kent dared to tell this to Melinda.



"Mellie, do you have time now? Let's meet."

When Kent returned home, he tidied himself up and made the call to Melinda. He was holding the
phone with a trembling hand.

He had no idea when he could get better as the shadow always followed him. After reading a lot of
books, Kent was a little worried that he would become that kind of person.

But the only person who could cure him was Melinda.

"Senior, what's up?"

Thinking of what Kent had done for her, she was reluctant to go out and meet him.

"I have something to tell you. It's about your father,"

Kent added some more, worrying that Melinda would refuse without mercy. She used to do that without
any excuses.

After hesitation, Melinda thought of that Kent said he would visit her father. Did her father hide
something from her?

She had so many unpleasant things on her mind that she broke out in a cold sweat out of fear.

"Okay. Send me the address and I'll be there soon."

Kent thought for a while and chose a coffee house which was close to Melinda's company, so when he
arrived, Melinda was already sitting there.

"Senior, this way!" The moment Melinda saw Kent, she waved her hands to greet him. After that, he
walked over and found that the drink in front of Melinda was not something she liked most, but a cup of
water.



"How long have you been waiting?"

Holding back his suspicion, Kent sat down opposite to Melinda. Soon the waiter served him his favorite
coffee, which was obviously ordered by Melinda in advance.

"What happened to my father?"

As soon as Melinda saw Kent sitting down, she couldn't wait to ask. She was angry last time because
of her father's attitude. She hadn't been home for a long time.

"Today, I went to visit him and happened to see that he was kidnapped. It was Emily and Jerry."

"What did you say?"

Before Kent could say anything, Melinda rose from her seat abruptly. Her voice was so clear in the
quiet coffee shop.

Many people looked at her in surprise. Kent stood up in a hurry to comfort her, "Don't worry. It's all right
now. Your father has returned home safely."

Melinda slowly sat down with one hand on her waist and the other on her belly. She still had a lingering
fear.

Although Kent didn't say anything, she could image the danger.

"Could you tell me what happened exactly?"

Melinda said in a trembling voice, trying to calm herself down.

But when she thought of the baby in her womb, she suppressed her fear and kept saying that it was
over.



Kent didn't know that Melinda was pregnant. Otherwise, he would hide it from her till the end just like
Jonas did.

Kent told the story in a casual way as if nothing had happened. Only a writer would have made the
terrible scenes into warm ones.

However, Melinda was still trembling with fear when she analyzed the content.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been angry with my father and ignored him, he wouldn't have suffered such
an accident. I didn't know that at all."

Tears of remorse fell from the corner of her eyes. If it were not told by Kent, her father would never
have mentioned it.

"You are not to blame for this. It was Emily who did it. You are also a victim." Seeing Melinda cry, Kent
became anxious.

He comforted, wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief.

"But all of this is because of me," Melinda said as if she was the one who had brought her father's
disaster.

"He has come back. It is a good thing. You can go to see him now and accompany him well," Kent
comforted her. Melinda nodded while crying. She was eager to see her father, to hug him and to feel
that he was all right.

At the thought that it was all Emily's fault, Melinda trembled with fear. She wasn't afraid of what Emily
would do to her, but she couldn't bear the thought of hurting her family.

"I want to go home, senior."



Melinda felt aggrieved. Kent patted her on the shoulder and handed her the water. He didn't open his
mouth until Melinda felt better.

"If you want to see your father now, you have to tidy yourself up first,"

Kent said. Although Melinda didn't wear any makeup, she looked a mess now.

She sniffed and smiled opportunistically. "I'm okay now," she said to Kent.

"Are you really okay?" Kent was still worried. He had never seen Melinda so sad before, or in other
words, she was a little squeamish.

This had never happened to Melinda before.

Even when they just knew each other.

Of course, Kent didn't know that Melinda would have such a sensitive emotion and was easily triggered
because of the pregnancy.

"Yes, I am really okay."

Melinda smiled through tears. Kent took her to his car and searched inside.

"Wipe your face first. Then there is something you like to eat behind you. You used to say that you
could forget your unhappiness by eating something. So it's the same now. Do you understand?"

Kent said. Hearing that, Melinda was a little bit absent-minded. There were many foods placed there
and the date was fresh. She could tell that Kent bought them often.

Would senior do these things when she was not here?



In the past, somebody had said that Melinda had a low EQ, but she was not convinced. Now she had
to admit that she indeed had a low EQ. she had never felt such an obvious feeling of love from Kent to
herself.

At the thought that he risked his life to save her father, and it was Emily who brought all these disaster
to her, Emily...

"Senior."

Lowering her eyebrows, Melinda suddenly opened her mouth. As Kent was still fasten the seat belt, he
looked at her in confusion.

As all the food were placed at the back of the seat, Kent let her sit at the back of the seat. Now he was
a little regretful that he didn't let Melinda sit next to him so that he could see her better.

"Do you still like me?"

All of a sudden, Melinda raised her head and looked at Kent. Her eyes were full of sincerity as if she
had made a very important decision. Stunned by this sudden question, Kent was lost in thought for a
long time.

" think that I've been behaving obviously."

After a long while, he said in a disappointed tone as he usually did when he fastened the seat belt. He
felt that Melinda was about to let him leave by saying this topic all of a sudden.

Mellie had been like this for many years. She had been cruel enough to make people desperate.

"Then... Let's try to be together,"



said Melinda. She did not know whether it was right or not to do so, but there was a voice reminding
her to leave Jonas.

For a moment, Kent went from hell to heaven, and he even doubted that he was hallucinating. He kept
the posture for a long time before he found his voice.
