Chapter 381 Raise Child

But Melinda had a deep feeling that when people lived in the world, troubles could not disappear, even
children had trouble, let alone them.

Now everything seemed to be getting on track, but Melinda had another worry. She was five months
pregnant, and there were some work that she couldn't participate in when she gave birth.

A TV play shooting cycle was not one or two days. Moreover, in order to show the best effect, Melinda
thought that all the plots did not need to be shot in a hurry.

As long as it was the best.

As a director, it was easy for her to choose a role. She just needed to look through the materials and let
people come to the company to talk if they were suitable.

Victor couldn't help asking what was going on when he saw that Melinda was upset even after the main
characters of the play had been decided.

In fact, he was also worried about Melinda since she came to work every day.

Moreover, pregnant women were really sentimental. At this time, everyone was happy, but Melinda was
worried.

"I'm afraid I don't have the energy to follow up." Melinda expressed her concern. The novel was a child
of her. Turning it into a TV play at this time was like raising a child. It would be a pity for Melinda to miss
any growth step.

She was worried that her child would meet a stepmother.

The more Melinda thought about it, the more upset she became. Her thoughts even diverged. The
more she thought about it, the more terrible it became.



Hearing this, Victor looked at Melinda's belly and immediately understood her. It was indeed difficult for
Melinda to do these things.

It had been Melinda who insisted.

Victor had been following up, so he knew more about what Melinda had done for this. Seeing that she
was still worried about this matter, he could not help saying, "Don't worry. I will help you to make this
TV play well, and never let the readers down,"

said Victor. He wanted to comfort Melinda by patting her head, but he also realized the identity of the
two people. This was really unreasonable, so he held back.

"These people are all chosen by you. You should be confident in yourself," Victor comforted her, trying
to distract her sad attention.

Even if it was a staff member in this play, Melinda had to check in person. She would reference a lot of
materials in the design of any scene.

It could be said that she was really very careful. At present, there were very few directors in the circle
who could do such a thing.

What was more, as an outsider, Melinda could only tell others with the simplest action that she could.

She knew that because she became a director, many staff thought this play was a children's play. They
insisted on it just because they valued the value behind it.

"Yes, I trust them." In fact, she was still a little worried. She had seen Felix's acting skills, so she didn't
need to worry too much. She just didn't know how Jessica would act.

But now that she had made a choice, she would definitely believe them.



Victor put down what he was doing and kept accompanying and joking to relieve Melinda's mood. By
the time Melinda came back home from work, she finally calmed down a lot.

In fact, at the moment when she asked staff to announce the casting on the official Weibo, Melinda
began to worry. It had nothing to do with her how others guessed before, but after it was released, it
meant that everyone in the crew was under the observation of others.

She knew those comments, but she deliberately ignored them and told herself that they would
disappear when the finished product came out.

Besides, although the person in charge of publicity didn't make any statement, he also found someone
to control the comments.

When Melinda got home, her heavy heart finally eased a lot. She was even busier than Jonas. He had
already been home, but she was still on the way home.

This made Jonas feel much unhappier. He began to regret agreeing to let her be a director.

But he couldn't say anything to refuse her when he saw her work so hard for one thing.

Recently, Queena also had a lot of opinions about the busy work of Melinda, but her son didn't say
anything, so she endured it.

Seeing that Melinda came back late again, she couldn't help saying, "Haven't you chosen the hero and
heroine? Why are you still so busy?"

Queena still didn't know that Melinda had participated in the production of the whole play. She just
thought that she was just going to choose the casting, so she couldn't understand why Melinda was still
busy after she had chosen the casting.



"We have to prepare for the shooting now. There are a lot of things to do," Melinda said with
embarrassment, and then sat next to Jonas. Seeing that he didn't look well, she felt wronged as if she
was fighting alone.

The most unbearable thing for Jonas was that Melinda felt wronged. His face softened at once, but he
couldn't help worrying, "The weather is getting colder and colder. Don't go home so late in the future.
Slow down the shooting."

"There are so many people waiting. I don't want to disappoint them," said Melinda. She just felt that the
progress had been delayed for a long time.

Before the official casting was released, many people even asked if the play was stopped.

"Are so many people more important than your family?" No matter what Melinda did, Nelson would not
say a word, but at this time he could not help but speak.

Hearing this, Melinda's eyes were a little red, but finally she controlled herself. She also realized her
mistake, but once she took the responsibility, she couldn't let it go.

"I'm sorry. I'll be careful in the future," Melinda said. However, she was obviously in a bad mood at
dinner, which led to her poor appetite. She left before eating two bites.

Queena couldn't help but glare at Jonas and complained, "Why you have to find yourself something to
worry about?"

If it weren't for the fact that Jonas wanted to turn the novel of Melinda into a TV play, such a series of
things wouldn't have happened.

At this moment, Jonas felt as if he was lifting a stone to hit his own feet.



In a bad mood, after returning to the bedroom, Melinda directly found clothes to wash up. She always
took everything seriously. She felt that she could understand her family's thoughts, and even think of
ways.

But her family only thought she was willful.

'If it weren't for the baby in my belly.' When this thought flashed through Melinda's mind as she touched
it, she wanted to slap herself hard.

How could she have such an idea? How sad would the child be if he knew it?

When Jonas returned to his bedroom, he saw a rich expression on Melinda's face.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Jonas asked as he hugged Melinda. He didn't say anything, which
made Melinda feel a little guilty.

She found a comfortable posture beside Jonas. The two of them just hugged each other silently for a
long time.

After a long time, Melinda licked her dry lips and said hesitantly, "I know you are worried about me and
the baby. I have thought about it."

"What?" The fact that Melinda could still think of these problems made Jonas feel relieved, but this
thought was one thing and how to do it was another.

He waited for Melinda's answer after thinking.

"I think I can do as many things as I can now. When it's getting bigger, I won't care about these
troublesome things. Moreover, Victor said he would help me,"



Melinda said. In fact, it was inevitable for her to feel a little regretful. She could only place all this on the
next time.

"Victor?" Although Jonas knew that there was nothing between Melinda and Victor, he was still a little
unhappy when he heard the name.

It could be said that he would not feel happy at all when Melinda spoke out the name of any man.

"Well, he has been helping me all the time. He knows these things and my thoughts best," said
Melinda. Jonas's eyebrows wrinkled again.

'Shouldn't I be the one who knows her best? Why did she mention another man at this time?'

But when Jonas thought that Melinda was about to let go of these things, he didn't think he could say
anything more. But what Melinda did next made him lose his temper again.

After accompanying Melinda for a while, Jonas went to wash his face and brush his teeth. When he
came back, Melinda was holding her phone and quickly moving her fingers on the screen, replying the
message very quickly.

Thinking of that he would occasionally send messages to Melinda, but received the reply very slowly,
Jonas's unhappy mood rose again.

As a steady and quiet person, Jonas suddenly made a big noise.

However, Melinda didn't shift her attention at all. She was still texting back, sometimes smiling,
sometimes frowning.

She would even speak when she couldn't reply in time. When Jonas heard that it was also about the
TV play, and it was Victor, he could no longer restrain his temper.



"Melinda Mo!" His tone was a little serious. Hearing this, Melinda was so scared that her phone fell to
the side. She was about to pick it up, but when she met the eyes of Jonas, she silently withdrew her
hand.

"What's wrong?" Melinda asked innocently, and Jonas was furious. He breathed a sigh of relief and
tried to calm himself down.

Then he said sadly, "Now even if you are with me, you have to hold your cell phone and send
messages to them all the time?"

Jonas said, but there was still anger in his tone. Hearing this, Melinda fell silent. She thought of what
Jonas had done and her reaction.

"I'm sorry." She was a person who was able to compromise and be flexible. She immediately realized
her mistake and actively apologized, "I promise I won't do it again."
