Melody Thorne couldn’t stand it anymore, her legs went weak, relying on his arm for support, she exclaimed repeatedly, "Jared Quinn, it tickles, it’s so ticklish."

"Mmm," Jared Quinn responded softly, his big hand turned her body to kiss the corner of her lips, his hands becoming increasingly unruly.

Melody Thorne gasped, "Jared Quinn, you can’t be reckless, we still have a child."

"I won’t."

"Hmm?"

Jared Quinn picked her up with both hands and walked towards the bedroom, his dark eyes filled with emotions unreadable to others. Soon, Melody Thorne’s voice and heavy breathing came from inside.

...

The next day, Melody Thorne clutched the blanket, refusing to get out of bed no matter how much Jared Quinn coaxed her.

Did he really not know what he did last night?

"Come on, get up and eat," Jared Quinn said with a helpless chuckle.

"You’re still laughing," Melody Thorne kicked his thigh, her face so red it seemed water might drip from it.

"Melody, Melody," Timmy’s voice came from outside.

Melody Thorne immediately sat up, took the clothes beside her, and put them on, leaving the room without any need for Jared Quinn to urge her a thousand times.

"Little darling," Melody Thorne picked Timmy up immediately, but before she could really lift him, a pair of big hands behind her had already taken over the task, lifting Timmy up and giving her a warning glance.

"Dad, you’re becoming more and more domineering," Timmy glared at the man holding him.

"Eat your meal, and go back afterwards."

"Go back where?" Timmy’s face immediately cooled, "Are you two planning to stay here and leave me to go back alone?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

He was already starting to feel a bit desperate.

Jared Quinn couldn’t help but laugh, "The school called, you have exams coming up, you have to go back, and I’ll be going back too."

"Are we going back to the country?" Timmy’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

Melody Thorne originally thought Jared Quinn had forgotten about this matter, or he was joking with her, but he was actually going back with Timmy?

"Are we leaving?" Harold Chapman and Leon Rivers couldn’t make heads or tails of it for a moment.

"You two stay here, I’ll send Timmy back and deal with some company matters, I’ll hurry back as soon as possible," Jared Quinn said calmly.

"Alright," Harold Chapman and Leon Rivers had no objections.

"I don’t want to go," Timmy immediately jumped down from Jared Quinn’s arms and hid behind Melody Thorne, "I’m not going back, I’ll leave whenever Melody does."

"Timmy," Jared Quinn’s expression had turned cold, he looked at him with an unyielding gaze.

"I won’t," Timmy fully stood behind Melody Thorne, his eyes full of wariness, "You’re probably planning to send me back and not return yourselves, for sure, don’t try to fool me."

Jared Quinn rubbed his brow with a large hand.

"Timmy," Melody Thorne crouched down, "can you trust me? Believe that I can return soon, this way you can go back first and I won’t have to worry about you. Otherwise, we don’t know how long we’ll have to stay here."

Timmy usually listened to what Melody Thorne said, but his eyes were already a bit red. He turned his head away, ignoring everyone.

This action made Melody Thorne’s heart ache, she really wanted to ignore everything, but Howard Seymour loved his daughter so much, if he was really not dead and she couldn’t save him, she herself wouldn’t be at ease.
