Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 84 Under Mount Fuji

Jonas was staying by Melinda's side, intently listening to her as he shared his opinions from time to

time.

The two never got the chance to talk about culture and tradition. This enabled Melinda to understand

Jonas a lot better than she did in the past.

She started liking him even more. He was no longer the cold, intimidating person that he was once. He

was the love of her life.

The thought brought a smile to Melinda's face. She followed Jonas without saying a word.

Although it was fascinating to witness this country's way of living, Melinda felt depressed at times.

Jonas and Melinda spent three days in France. Melinda blindly followed him without questioning about

their schedule.

They seemed to be planning to travel all over the world.

Once they went back to the castle, Melinda saw that the servants had prepared all her favorite food.

The time Jonas spent with Melinda made him understand what she liked and disliked. He took good

care of her and made sure she had a comfortable time. Melinda was very thin in the past but she had

gained a lot of weight in the last few days.

"Jonas, I feel like I've put on weight."

Melinda pinched the warm flesh on her cheeks and frowned. She was like every other woman who

wanted to maintain a good figure. Everyone lost weight during travel but Melinda became fairer and

plumper than before.

"Oh come on, you are still too thin. You need to gain weight," Jonas said, eyeing her bosom.

Melinda's cheeks turned red as she glared at Jonas.

She angrily jabbed the chopsticks on the rice and shoved it into her mouth.

"Mellie, look at you. You are too thin and I sometimes get worried when I look at you," Jonas said

guiltily.

Melinda was always thin and she looked weaker than before. Jonas felt that she had lost weight

because of him.

Melinda didn't answer and continued to eat what Jonas offered. He breathed a sigh of relief and

continued to add more food to her bowl.

Melinda ended up eating a lot and her belly was peeking through her shirt. Jonas took her out for a

walk in the garden outside the castle.

"Mellie, where do you want to go next?"

Jonas asked, running his fingers across Melinda's arms, interlacing their fingers. Melinda's fingers were

slender and rough at the same time. It was perhaps because she spent a lot of time tapping the

keyboard.

"You arranged all of this, didn't you? You tell where we are going next."

Melinda trusted Jonas. People say that traveling is a great way to strengthen a relationship and

Melinda finally understood that. She felt that they were in a blissful relationship, enjoying the company

of each other. This trip had taught them more about each other.

"Let's go to America," he said, grinning happily. Jonas was glad that Melinda had faith in him.

"Okay."

Melinda nodded in agreement. As long as Jonas was by her side, she would go with him to any corner

of the world in a heartbeat.

The next day, Jonas packed his things and waited for Melinda to get ready. He didn't rush her because

he wanted her to have a good rest and enjoy her time, rather than being exhausted by the travel.

When they landed at the JFK airport, the somber, gray sky greeted them, making Melinda more

depressive. Jonas had planned to go to some famous sights for the next three days but the weather

had ruined his plans.

Melinda was agitated and stayed in the hotel all day. Jonas checked if he could watch any movies with

her but the weather was still the same during the following days. Therefore, he was left with no choice

but to take her to the next destination, Britain.

However, to Melinda's disappointment, the weather in Britain was no different than that in America. It

was drizzling and Melinda hated to walk under the rain.

The bleak weather had an impact on Melinda's mood. She became more sullen and perturbed. Jonas

was worried and didn't let her go out.

Jonas was frustrated that their trip was destroyed by the weather, so he checked the weather forecast

of the next day. To his dismay, he found that the weather was going to be the same for the next few

days. Therefore, he quickly planned their trip to the next destination.

Jonas was worried about Melinda's health and made her stay back for one more day before leaving.

On the third day, Jonas and Melinda flew to Salar de Uyuni mine in Bolivia.

The Salar de Uyuni mine is popularly called the mirror of heaven. It is a flat stretch of salt that remained

after the prehistoric lakes evaporated a long time ago. The place has occasional rainfalls and the

climate is relatively arid.

Melinda and Jonas interlocked their fingers and saw their reflection dancing on the lake like a hazy oil

painting portrait.

Melinda turned around to say something but stopped when she met Jonas's eyes that were gleaming

with love and affection. The words froze in her throat as she blinked and continued to look at him.

Their eyes were pouring out the feelings that words couldn't.

"Jonas," Melinda whispered.

Jonas felt that his name somehow sounded sweeter in Melinda's voice. He smiled and held Melinda in

his arms.

His tender touch made Melinda weak in her knees. He looked into her eyes, waiting for her to respond.

The lake cast a striking reflection of the couple who were destined to meet and reluctant to part.

Jonas rested his chin on Melinda's forehead, relishing the moment. She closed her eyes and tugged

his shirt, loving the closeness.

"Do you want me to take pictures of you?"

Jonas asked, pulling the camera out. Melinda nodded in response. She was awkward in the beginning

but slowly became comfortable. She loved everything about this beautiful place and her life seemed

like a fairytale.

Melinda admired Jonas's secret talent and asked him to teach her to take better pictures. She was

excited and clicked pictures of their reflection from different angles.

The air was filled with love as many couples had come to visit the place just like them. The beautiful

scenery and pleasant atmosphere made Melinda forget all her troubles and woes.

Melinda soon learned to take good photographs and helped many couples take pictures with their

partners. Jonas stood in a corner and watched her with a smile on his face.

Melinda took pictures of a couple who were posing happily. They got creative and intimate with every

picture and Melinda patiently took pictures of them. "Your boyfriend adores you. Let me take a picture

of the two of you," the girl said, smiling at them.

Melinda and Jonas had only taken pictures of the lake, so she quickly agreed to pose with him.

Jonas had a serious expression the whole time. Melinda cracked jokes and pinched his cheeks, trying

to make him smile.

The couple took several pictures of them. In the end, Melinda had no choice but to press herself

against Jonas. He took the opportunity and posed intimately with her.

Melinda's cheeks turned red. She was embarrassed when the girl winked at her.

"Thank you."

Melinda took her camera and quickly left with Jonas. Her face was flustered and Jonas couldn't help

but laugh.

"I told you to smile and you didn't bother listening to me. Did you do it on purpose?"

"No." Jonas nodded and continued to smile.

The two of them enjoyed their stay and Jonas arranged a trip to Japan.

Japan is known for its comics and beautiful cherry blossoms.

It has a well-developed economy, making it an ideal place for tourism.

Japan was a mystic country and Melinda felt like she was in a comic book. She instantly fell in love with

the place.

Jonas had a house in Japan that was closer to Mount Fiji. Melinda was curious to find how the house

looked. The tiredness and fatigue seemed to fade away in an instant. She held Jonas's hand went on a

tour with him.

The scent of cherry blossoms wafted in the air. People were walking in kimono and Melinda witnessed

the Japanese cosplay in awe.

She was excited to wear kimono and asked Jonas to get one for her. He immediately got one the

prettiest kimono of the lot and slipped it on her. But Melinda was not comfortable in it, so she took a few

pictures of her wearing kimono and changed into a comfortable outfit.

Melinda and Jonas brought a couple-outfit and decided to try them on. She even let Jonas braid her

hair heeding to the instructions from the online tutorial. The braid was far from perfect but Melinda

wasn't bothered and set her hair with a cherry clip.

Jonas puffed his chest in pride as he was happy with the result.

The two of them went to see the cherry blossoms. Jonas didn't know whether to look at the flowers or

his beautiful wife. Melinda seemed to effortlessly take his breath away. Jonas felt that he was incredibly

lucky to have a wife like Melinda. He couldn't stop taking pictures of her.

"Sir, can you please take a picture of me?" a young woman asked in Japanese.

Jonas turned around and knitted his eyebrows. The woman repeated the same thing in broken

Chinese.

Melinda turned around and saw a woman in cherry-colored kimono, looking at Jonas with expectant

eyes.

"Sorry, I only take photos of my wife," Jonas said, pointing at Melinda who was looking at them with

curious eyes.

She pursed her lips, and walked up to him. Jonas wrapped his arm around her waist. "This is my wife,"

he said proudly.

Melinda was about to wriggle out of his hold. But her heart melted at his words. She stood there staring

at him with wide eyes. The woman glanced at Melinda and left.

"Are you using me as an excuse?" she asked playfully.

"Mrs. Gu, I don't think you are aware of your identity," Jonas said.

Melinda thought that Jonas was using her to ward off women who tried approaching him.

Melinda loved taking pictures and left the place only after she was satisfied with the photos she had

taken with Jonas.

Tokyo was their next destination. A famous singer was holding a concert. Jonas asked his secretary to

buy tickets and took Melinda for the concert.

Neither of them was familiar with the songs, so they quietly listened to him sing. The music changed

and Melinda's eyes widened as a smile tugged at the corners of her lips. The singer began to sing Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

'Under Mount Fuji'. Her face lit up with joy as she sang along with him.

Jonas was listening to Melinda sing for the first time. His eyes were fixed on her as he watched her

sing and hum along. He admired the little expressions and how her face changed in rhythm with the

tune. Everyone else seemed to fade away and he felt as if they were the only people in the world.

The thunderous applause brought Jonas back to his senses.

"He is brilliant. But some of his pronunciations are a little weird." Melinda smiled. The intensity of

Jonas's gaze made her uncomfortable and she turned away.

Her heart began to race in her chest. "You sang very well," he whispered in her ears.
