Forgive My Ex-husband

Kent shrugged helplessly. He knew that once his mother made her mind, there was nothing in the world that could change her decision. Or perhaps, Kent was hiding behind his mother's determination, as his heart yearned for Melinda to accept the jade bracelet.

"Don't you like us?" Janet asked nervously.

Although their family was making financial progress because of Kent, Janet knew that some girls were demanding. They looked for financial security before taking any big decision.

Janet could understand Melinda's concern. If she was bothered by their social status, there wasn't much Janet could do. She knew that Melinda deserved the best and would only wallow about her loss.

Janet looked dejected but tried her best not to show it out. Melinda's cheeks turned red and she didn't know how to explain to Janet that she wasn't in love with her son.

"I didn't mean that. I..." Melinda slumped her shoulders and blew out a loud breath. She was at a loss of words. She knew that Janet wouldn't understand no matter how much she explained.

"Well, if you didn't mean that, why don't you accept it?" Janet asked curiously.

Melinda decided to accept the bracelet to make her happy. She could later give it back to Kent after his parents left. She finally nodded and accepted the bracelet. Janet's face beamed with happiness.

She was happy that Melinda had spent the whole day with them. She and Charles felt that Melinda was the right match for Kent. "Kent, it's up to you now. Don't do anything stupid and drive her away," Janet threatened.

She had fulfilled her responsibility as a mother-in-law by passing on the heirloom to Melinda. It was now Kent's job to impress Melinda and get her married to him as soon as possible.

Kent smiled awkwardly. He knew that things weren't as rosy as they seemed to be. His parents were blissfully unaware of Melinda's complicated mind and he didn't have the heart to break their happy bubble.

Charles and Janet were happy. They had planned to go out and spend time with Kent and Melinda.

A City was a commercial city bustling with people. There were many touristic spots and the most famous of them all was the amusement park.

But Charles and Janet were too old to indulge in fun activities. Therefore, Kent and Melinda decided to go to the museum. They could go mountain climbing in the countryside as well.

Melinda was traumatized to plan outdoor activities. She seldom went out to have fun when she was married to Jonas. Even if she did, she would fall prey to Yulia's wicked plans. So, Kent planned everything without bothering Melinda.

He knew what she had gone through.

Melinda didn't understand her true strength until she met Jonas. She loved him with all her heart. She was fearless and ready to do anything to win his heart. Unfortunately, their story ended even before it started.

Janet was happy that Melinda was willing to spend time with them. But she didn't want to disturb the "couple", so she quickly made an excuse to leave.

Kent took them to the shopping mall and bought a lot of things for them. Charles and Janet were fussing over Melinda and she was overwhelmed by their love.

Melinda breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them leave. She couldn't be herself around them. The guilt was consuming her. They had accepted her as their daughter-in-law and were showering her with love.

But she didn't deserve any of it, for she and Kent weren't in love.
