Chapter 243 Finding A Scapegoat

"Mr. Cheng, please watch your mouth!"

Melinda was not kidding at all. She thought that since they were in the company, she should keep a
good relationship with her subordinate and get along with each other as friends outside the company.

Maybe she could stop them from gossiping about her.

"Don't pay attention to gossips in the company. If you get angry, you will get wrinkles."

Victor's unremitting comfort to Melinda made the employees jealous of his gentleness. How can they
said that they are ordinary friends?

"Mr. Cheng, it's working time now. If you don't have anything important, please don't disturb my work.
Thank you."

Melinda showed a cold face to him, which made him look a little bit awkward. But finally he controlled
himself.

"Okay, I'm Not going to bother you, but you have to know that it's not worth to be angry with those big
mouth women."

He then left the Department quickly, but their relationship had once again become the gossip in the
company.

A topic 'Mr. Cheng's favorite woman, Melinda' appeared.

She was down in mood because of this for the whole day. When Jonas came to pick her up in the
evening, he felt something wrong with her.



"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Recently, she had never been down in mood like this, which worried
him a lot because the doctor had said that he should pay more attention to Melinda when she was like
this.

If she didn't get happy, it was easy for her to be depressed if she kept such a condition.

"Nothing." Melinda didn't want to say more. She leaned against the back of the seat and thought in a
daze. Out of options, Jonas assigned Ted another task.

She was unhappy after she arrived at the company.

In the Jiang family's house, Kent's mother showed a lot of photos of girls again, which happened a lot
in her family recently.

"This is Mrs. Wang's daughter. She graduated from B City two years ago and is going to find someone
and marry him. She is a good girl and she works hard. The point is that she is a virgin."

Janet said. In her eyes, Melinda was just a bad woman. No one could get rid of her.

"You can arrange that."

Kent said indifferently. He had seen a lot of girls these days, but he didn't pay attention to them.

Janet looked worried, but she was persevering. As long as she was keeping doing it. Her son would
Fall in love another girl and forget that woman sooner or later.

"Okay. You can spend the afternoon time to meet this girl in a cafe near our community."

Kent's mother said straightforwardly. Then she told Kent how to recognize that girl. Being absent-
minded, Kent nodded and agreed.

"Kent, forget that woman! You will never be together!" Janet said angrily.



Kent used to be a good man. But now he lost interest in having blind dates. What's worse, he kept
telling others that he had a woman he couldn't forget because his deep love for her.

In the past two days, Kent's mother was often mentioned by someone who made comments on her.
Because they said to girls that Kent was a good man.

It turned out that Kent had a sweetheart but still having blind dates with girls. Wasn't it a slap on their
face?

"Mom, I know." Kent said impatiently and then went back to his bedroom. Kent's mother put the photos
she carefully chosen on the tea table but Kent even didn't have a look at them.

Kent had many blind dates in these days, but he knew clearly that he couldn't forget Melinda.

Why would such a thing happen when he was about to be together with Linda.

'Why can't I get what I want?'

In just a week, Kent was haggard because of the torture. When he went back to the bedroom, the face
Melinda appeared in his mind again.

He found himself unable to bear this torture anymore.

The screensaver of his mobile phone used to be a photo of Melinda, and there were also pictures of
her in the photo album. But now everything was gone, and everything about Melinda was deleted by
Kent's mother.

It was as if she had never appeared in his life.

But how could Kent forget Melinda and he dialed the familiar number.

"Hello."



When he heard the familiar voice, he had a feeling that he was alive for a moment. His voice was even
a little choked. "Mellie."

How long had they not been in touch? She could not remember. Now except feeling unexpected, she
felt a little resistant.

"Senior."

After a long time, she calmed down and greeted Kent as if they were old friends, as if nothing
happened before.

"Honey, can you come out and see me?" Kent said. He was almost driven crazy by the thought of
seeing her.

But he couldn't let himself be willful. He was the only child in the family. He couldn't disappoint his
mother.

"Kent, I don't have time recently."

She refused directly without thinking. Since she had decided not to meet him anymore, there was no
need to meet.

"Linda, I miss you so much." He was like a trapped beast and didn't know what to do.

"Kent, we've decided not to contact each other anymore. Just let it be. Don't call me again." She hated
the feeling of being entangled with each other.

Therefore, since it was impossible for her to meet Kent, she would not meet him. Melinda still
remembered what Janet had said.

'You were not good enough for Kent.'



"Honey, this is the last time we meet. Even if you don't want to have any contact with me any more,
please don't ruin our relationship for so many years with regret."

Kent was still unwilling to give up. He thought he and Melinda loved each other and he had never given
up.

On the one hand, he tried to avoid his mother with blind dates. On the other hand, he hoped to get his
mother moved so that he could get opportunity to be with Melinda.

She frowned as she sensed that Kent was unwilling to give up.

"Okay."

She had promised to meet Kent. Melinda was also planning to take this opportunity to make Kent
completely give up her. From the moment when Kent's mother said that she had lost contact with Kent
for several days, it meant that there was no chance for them to be together anymore.

"Okay. How about today?" Kent became excited. A smile appeared on his face which hadn't been seen
for a long time. His mother would be happy to see it, but if she knew that the smile was for the sake of
Melinda, she would have a headache again.

"Okay, I'm free this afternoon." Today was weekend and she spent the whole morning on reading at
home. It was good to go out in the afternoon.

When the weather got completely hot, going out was a nuisance.

Soon, Kent forgot what his mother said. After telling the place to meet, he began to clean himself up.

He had been decadent these days. He suddenly cleaned himself up and resumed his usual gentle
demeanor. Mrs. Jiang was so excited to see him going out like this, tears almost fell from her eyes.



His son had finally thought things through.

"Come on, my son!" She said. Her son was handsome and excellent. Although he had been divorced
once, he was still very popular.

Kent's mother saw that he dressed well and thought he started to value this date.

Kent smiled perfunctorily and did not say anything else. He did not have any free time except going on
the blind dates and going to work these two days. Because his mother was strict with him.

It wasn't easy for Melinda to go out. Since Jonas had a good habit of being a driver, he wanted to be
the driver to escort her wherever she went. Today was weekend, he had to work overtime in his
company, which made her easy to go out.

In order to make him give up, Melinda decided to do something thoroughly.

After thinking for a while, she found Victor's phone number.

The place booked by Kent would always be liked by Melinda. In consideration of her pregnancy, they
didn't book a coffee shop. Instead, they went a dessert shop in a girlish shop. The decoration was
really pleasing.

The seat he selected was a small compartment with the theme of princess. For Kent, Melinda was a
princess.

However, the man Melinda was talking to now by holding the arm of him, who was both smiling at Kent.
The man was not a stranger to Kent who knew that the man was her boss called Victor.

"Mr. Jiang, I've heard a lot about you." Victor greeted him politely and politely. They were in the same
circle, and among them, Kent was a little famous. Although they hadn't officially known each other, they
had heard of each other's names.



"That's Kent. I told you he took good care of me. Kent, he is Victor. You may have heard about him."

Said Melinda with smiles. It seemed she didn't told Kent that the real relationship between victor and
her, but they talked in an intimate way. As long as Kent thought about it, he knew something was
wrong.

Kent's jealousy grew abruptly, but then calmed down. He looked at them coldly.

He tried to find something from her eyes, but she only paid attention to Victor.

Victor took the menu and asked Melinda carefully what she would eat. Melinda wanted to eat a lot of
food, but she was stopped by him. They flirted with each other and looked very sweet.

However Kent felt as if he were at the North Pole and cold.

He couldn't blend in the atmosphere between the two of them, just like an outsider looking at the
intimacy between Melinda and the other men.

If the opponent was Jonas, Kent would feel a little better, but this person was Victor.

Kent thought that she was like a person eager to find a scapegoat for the child in her womb. And finally
she found Victor.

All her beauty in his heart collapsed in an instant.

Kent looked at them, embarrassed. Then he said, "I just remember that I have something to do. I have
to go now."

Kent got out of the shop as soon as he finished his words. When he was out of sight, the smile on
Melinda's face disappeared.
