Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Everyone was sitting at different corners, so Melinda clumsily picked the dishes and served them. She couldn't manage everything on her own.

Melinda was busy and started to sweat despite the chilly weather.

She stumbled on her feet as she opened the zipper of her coat. Jonas grabbed Melinda's arms and gave her a basket of vegetables and bamboo sticks. He couldn't see her struggle anymore.

"Sit here and prepare the vegetables for making kebabs. They have been washed clean,"

Jonas said as he looked after Melinda's work. Melinda was shocked by Jonas's thoughtfulness.

She grinned happily as it was an easy job. All she had to do was sit down and arrange the vegetables in the skewer.

Jonas served pre-cooked food and cakes as starters while Melinda prepared the grill for barbecue. Nelson and Aron went to the river for fishing.

Queena helped Jonas and Rey arrange everything as they set up a barbecue grill and a temporary stove. Queena started by boiling the water and Melinda finished skewering the vegetables.

She called Jonas to ask what she needed to do next. But he didn't say anything and let her do whatever she wanted.

It was a mellow morning and the cool breeze carried a warmth that instantly lifted Melinda's spirit. By the time dinner was ready, Nelson returned with succulent freshwater fishes.

"Jonas, I saw some flowers on the hillside. Why don't you and Mellie grab them so that we can decorate the table with them. Also, I want to post the pictures of WeChat moments?" Queena said.

Melinda's eyes lit up. She was clumsily sprawled on the grass and Jonas gave her a hand.

She bit her lip and took his hand as he pulled her to her feet.

The flowers in the suburb were swaying in the wind. Melinda carefully picked all the beautiful, bright ones and gave them to Jonas.

The colorful hillside stood out against the somber suburbs as the flowers bloomed during winter.

"These are beautiful. Take it."

Melinda beamed as she gave a bunch of flowers to Jonas. His hands involuntarily reached for the flowers, his eyes fixed on Melinda's beautiful face. The flowers faded in comparison to the bright smile on Melinda's face. Jonas dropped the flowers to the ground as his face became itchy.

"What are you... Jonas, what's the matter?"

Melinda's mouth popped open in shock. She was about to scold Jonas for not holding the flowers properly but she realized that something was wrong. Angry, red rashes formed on Jonas's flawless skin that gradually spread all over his face and arms.

"My body is itching,"

Jonas muttered. He didn't notice the rashes as his eyes were fixed on Melinda. She lunged forward and grabbed Jonas's hand as he was about to scratch his face.

"Stop! Don't scratch it."
