Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 85

The concert ended but the singer didn't leave. He instead told the audiences about himself and Mount Fuji. Melinda couldn't understand Japanese, so she asked Jonas to translate for her.

Jonas narrowed his eyes and looked at the singer intently as he meticulously translated his speech. Melinda was mesmerized by his voice and watched him dreamily.

Her mind had lost track of Jonas's words but his resonant voice reverberated in her ears like a soothing lullaby.

The concert had extended up to three hours. Melinda felt that although she was in a different place, the culture and music were still the same. She couldn't understand the lyrics but was moved by the soulful music.

"Mellie, you never sang for me,"

Jonas whispered as his hot breath blew across Melinda's ears. Her skin broke into goosebumps and her body shivered with desire.

Melinda had sung for Jonas but he wasn't aware of it.

"You never sing for me, either."

Melinda said as she imagined how his handsome face would look like when he sang.

"Will you sing for me tonight?" Jonas asked expectantly.

Melinda was in a trance as Jonas's voice seemed to cast a spell on her.

She instinctively nodded her head but regretted the moment she agreed.

Jonas was glad that Melinda had agreed to sing. He was not in the mood to listen to the concert anymore. All he wanted to do was to go back home with Melinda and listen to her sing.

Jonas and Melinda finally returned home after a contended day. The house was a typical Japanese style residence. Melinda sat on the tatami, with her feet pinned against her seat. Jonas made tea for her and brought the cakes that their neighbor had sent.

It was late at night but Melinda loved the food. Jonas knew that she had overeaten and decided to take her for a walk. Melinda followed Jonas without reminding him about his strange request as she wasn't ready to sing for him.

"Mellie, have you tried Japanese bath?" Jonas asked.

Melinda was always lured by Jonas's voice. She had already learned not to give in to the temptation, so she stayed in control. She shook her head nonchalantly, but showed no interest in it.

Jonas understood that his wife was smart and realized that it wasn't easy to fool her anymore.

Melinda had never experienced the bath and wasn't curious to try it. But she wanted to understand his intentions.

Jonas took her for the bath. Melinda felt that it was very much like Chinese spas but she still enjoyed it and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

The bath was extremely soothing and Melinda slowly slipped off into a peaceful sleep. Jonas carried her to the bedroom.

After a night of peaceful sleep, Melinda woke up feeling lazy. She was reluctant to get up. Melinda was always brisk and active. Jonas was surprised to see her laze around like a little girl.

"Aren't you going shopping, Mellie?"

Jonas asked. She slowly opened her eyes and yawned. Melinda had informed her fans about going on a trip. Some of her fans had commented on the post, asking her to buy something for them. Thinking that it would be a great opportunity to interact with fans, Melinda arranged an activity where she would meet her fans and give them all the gifts and goodies.

"I'm sleepy,"

Melinda mumbled and pressed her body against Jonas.

"Help me get up." Her voice muffled against his chest.

Jonas smiled and pulled her out of the bed. She reluctantly went to the bathroom to take a shower. She was sleepy the whole time and let Jonas feed her. Melinda closed her eyes and blindly ate whatever he gave.

She felt better after breakfast. Melinda wore a long, pink dress that accentuated her rosy cheeks and ruddy lips. With the previous day's experience, Jonas efficiently braided Melinda's hair.

After slipping a hat on, Melinda walked out, hand in hand, with Jonas. They arrived at the shopping mall and Jonas didn't hesitate about spending for her. Melinda bought everything that she wanted.

All the things she had bought were for her fans and she didn't want Jonas to pay for it. Jonas tried convincing her but he finally gave up as Melinda was adamant about paying for it.

"Let's buy a gift for Grandpa."

It was Melinda's tradition to get gifts for the elders at home. Every time she went somewhere, she would return with a thoughtful gift. She loved getting gifts for others but seldom got anything for herself.

Jonas narrowed his eyes when he saw the long queue that had lined up before him. Melinda was equally annoyed but they were left with no choice but to wait.

"How about you wait in the queue for me? I want to walk around the mall."

The people in the queue were predominantly men, who patiently waited, while their girlfriend or wife continued to shop at their own, sweet pace.

Jonas glanced at the people before him and nodded. Although he looked unhappy about it, Melinda was happy that he was doing this for her.

She grinned happily, kissed Jonas's cheeks, and ran away.

Jonas's eyes widened.

He trailed his fingers across his cheeks where Melinda had kissed. He smiled as the softness of her lips lingered.
