Chapter 240 Jonas Was Cooking

At this moment, in Vern's house, Jonas and Vern were drinking tea happily. Jonas had asked his men
to bring good tea here.

"Sorry, my Mellie makes you a lot of troubles. You have to take good care of her from now on."

Thinking that Melinda said that she didn't have time since she had to finish the manuscripts, Vern
sighed and realized that he had been controlling her too tight these days.

Anyway, he still had a way to get Melinda back from the company.

"She's stubborn."

Although Jonas said so, a faint smile emerged on the corners of his mouth. He looked at the clock on
the wall, thinking of the distance between Melinda's company and here.

"Dad, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the dinner," Jonas said. He had bought a lot of cooking materials,
which had been processed before, and now it just needed to be cooked in pot.

"You can cook?"

Jonas looked graceful all over. His tailor-made suit was taken off by him and hung aside, exposing the
shirt inside the suit.

The buttons on the shirts were all glowing jewels. They were of moderate luxury in low-key.

No one would believe that he dressed up to prepare lunch, not for a negotiation or meeting a friend.

"Dad, don't worry." said Jonas confidently. He went straight to the kitchen, where there were many
materials of different styles on the chopping board.

Jonas recalled the recipe in his mind and began to prepare them in an orderly way.



After explaining to the leader, Melinda rushed back home in a hurry, only to find her father watching TV
on the sofa, as if nothing had happened.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Melinda rushed to her father before she changed her shoes, which frightened Vern.

"You have a baby in your belly. Don't be so rash."

How could Melinda not be worried, but she gradually realized that something was wrong. She calmed
down. Looking at her father, she asked doubtfully, "Dad, are you okay?"

"I'm fine,"

said Vern, while looking to the kitchen. Melinda followed his direction, and saw a man in elegant as if
he knew nothing about the world, who was cooking something with a spade.

His movement was natural and flawless, but it could be seen that he was not very skilled. Melinda
slightly narrowed her eyes, as if she could see sweat slide down the handsome face.

"Jonas is a nice kid. He came to see me when he was so busy and bought so many things for me. He
said he wanted to cook for me."

Vern was always generous with his praise to Jonas. That was why he always lied to get Melinda back.

Hearing this, Melinda finally understood why her father lied to her because he wanted her back right
now.

Slowly sitting down, she watched the busy cooking figure in the kitchen and fell into deep thought.

"Linda is back, isn't she?"



Jonas was quick and it had something to do with his style. But the dishes on the table were exquisite
and it was like a dish in the restaurant.

People couldn't tell it was good or not.

The coldness in his eyes always disappeared when he saw Melinda.

"Did you prepare all these?"

Melinda went to the dining room, and there were several dishes on the table. The strong smell of food
came to her nose, making her unable to resist eating.

Even if she didn't have a good appetite because of her pregnancy, her mouth had been hooked.

"I can testify that Jonas did it himself." Not knowing when, Vern came behind Melinda and interrupted
her.

He looked at the dishes on the table with satisfaction, and felt that his son-in-law was versatile.

"Look, Jonas is so busy. He even came to visit me and cooked for me. How about you? I asked you to
come back and have dinner with me, but you didn't listen to me."

After comparing his daughter with his son-in-law, Vern said in a slightly reproachful tone. Melinda felt
very sorry for what she had done, and Jonas thought it was unfair for her. He said in a hurry, "Linda is
pregnant now and it's very hard for her. She has to go out to work. It's my fault."

"You are spoiling her. Mellie, in my opinion, you'd better quit your job."

Sitting aside, Melinda kept silent. She could bear the intensity of her job. There was no need to quit.
More importantly, she liked this job.

"Dad, Linda likes her job. She will be happy if she can communicate with different people every day."



With that, the look on Melinda's face finally softened a lot. Vern stopped talking and took the seat of
honor.

Melinda went to the kitchen and took out all the dishes for Jonas. Although there were only three of
them, Jonas still prepared a big meal of seven dishes and a soup.

They were light and nutritious, suitable for the pregnant woman like Melinda and the patient like Vern.

"When did you learn to cook?" Melinda couldn't help but ask.

Jonas knew nothing about how to cook and he seldom went into the kitchen. But now he had cooked
so many dishes.

And some of them were difficult to cook."

"I've been practicing it these days." As Jonas spoke, he glanced at Melinda, and saw that her face had
no fluctuation, so he continued, "But cooking is really not easy. I've learned these dishes for three days
and three nights and didn't sleep much at night, but I still failed."

He said so with pretended disappointment. Hearing three days and three nights, Melinda raised her
eyebrows slightly. Her father continued to praise him, "You are so thoughtful. Please sit down to eat."

Taking a look at Melinda, Jonas stood since she hadn't taken her seat. Unable to contradict him,
Melinda sat down by the right side of her father.

She couldn't help but look at Jonas. There were deep dark circles around his eyes. Apparently he didn't
sleep well.

Seeing the table full of dishes, Melinda's mood became complicated again. Her anger that she got
when she came back home had almost disappeared.



"You used to drink soup first. This is the soup I cooled just now. It's good for you to drink it now. Have a
try and see if you like it,"

said Jonas gently. Looking at how kind he was, Vern nodded.

Feeling embarrassed by his soft look, but Melinda did not refuse him. She was afraid of the soup being
greasy. The soup prepared by Jonas was slightly sour and spicy.

But it was a good taste. Melinda closed her eyes in satisfaction and said, "It tastes good."

Hearing this, Jonas laughed and said happily, "If you like it, I'll make it for you. Or if you have anything
want to eat, just tell me. I'll go and learn."

Hearing that, Vern burst into laughter. With a red face, Melinda glared at Jonas. "You have learned only
a few dishes for three days and nights. Never enter the kitchen again."

"How can he not enter the kitchen? I think the food tastes good, not worse than yours," Vern said.
Suddenly, Melinda felt that she had no place in this family.

"It's okay as long as you like it." However, Jonas thought that Melinda was just feeling sorry for him, so
he was happy and satisfied. He thought that it worth that he had been very busy in the past few days.

Vern was in a good mood. Regardless of their dissuasion to drink, he drank some wine. Therefore,
Jonas had to accompany him. While watching them and drinking the soup, Melinda's heart was filled
with satisfaction.

Even when Jonas was talking with Vern, he always paid close attention to Melinda, and took good care
of her when he saw she drank up the soup, and filled the bowl with rice.



"Mellie is so lucky to meet you," Vern said, signing. Standing aside, Melinda curled her lips in disdain.
Her father only saw how good Jonas was to her, but didn't know what he had done.

At the thought of Emily, who did not show up recently and was scheming something.

"It's my greatest fortune to meet Linda," said Jonas with deep and affectionate love. He only felt it
awkward to say these words before, but now he felt that it was impossible to say them enough.

"We are all lucky. You look perfect matched as you sit together. This child will grow up well in the
future."

As Vern spoke, he thought of his grandson, who had inherited such a good gene and must look good.
He was more looking forward to this coming baby.

Melinda wanted to retort, but when her father said about the baby, she couldn't help but touch her belly
with a happy face.

This child was her greatest fortune.

"I think so too. I'm the only man who is good enough to be Linda's husband,"

Jonas echoed him and acted shamelessly. She didn't know whether he was praising her or himself.
Eating quietly aside, Melinda couldn't stand the conversation between them.

"I'm relieved to have you as my son-in-law," Vern said in relief, as he was fully satisfied with his son-in-
law.

"Dad, I haven't been with him yet,"

Melinda couldn't help but mumbled. Before she agreed, they began to call each other father-in-law and
son-in-law.



"Sooner or later we'll be a family. It's troublesome to change the appellation," Vern said in a serious
tone. Hearing that, Melinda did not know what to say for a moment.

"Eat more. Other pregnant women usually gain weight. You're getting thinner," said Jonas, comforting
and spoiled her.

Three months had passed, and Melinda hadn't gained weight. Now her belly was a little plump, which
made Jonas can't help worrying.

She was so weak. What if she had a big belly when the time was coming?

"It's normal for me to be thin because of the pregnancy reaction,"

Melinda said. She was very worried about her lack of nutrition. Every day, she forced herself to eat a
lot.

Not to mention Jonas, a mere thought of the scene frightened Melinda into cold sweat.

"I told you to go home for dinner, but you didn't listen to me. Look what you have done to yourself,"

Vern echoed. Looking at the two, Melinda chose to shut up. In this family, she'd better eat more and
talk less.
