My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 517: The First Time Was Yours
Melody’s fingers moved a few times on the computer and deleted the information she had just received.
The study door was pushed open, and Jared entered holding a glass of refreshing red wine. He saw Melody sitting in his chair looking like a well-behaved child.
"Why aren’t you asleep?" Jared walked in, put the wine on the table, and lifted her onto his lap with his strong, slender arms.
"I can’t sleep," Melody murmured, her arms draped around his neck.
"Because of today?" Jared seemed to have already guessed, his handsome features close to her face. "Isn’t being my legitimate wife good?"
"No," Melody frowned, taking out her phone to show him the online gossip. "At first, they all speculated I was Timmy’s biological mother, then they outright claimed I was your mistress."
Jared: "..."
His gaze shifted to the comments below the photos; indeed, they were all discussing Melody being a kept woman.
"Sorry, I didn’t think it through," Jared said, his chiseled features deepening. He hadn’t anticipated the situation would take such a twisted turn.
"Seems like, in their hearts, they think you love keeping women," Melody pouted, glaring at him.
Jared: "... Where’d you get these misconceptions, I only have you. You were my first."
Melody: "..."
Damn, he always starts flirting if you challenge him.
"You make it sound like I wasn’t your first," Melody mumbled softly.
In Jared’s deep dark eyes, a glint appeared. He vividly remembered where their first time was and how bold and enticing Melody was...
"So you remember clearly," Jared said, wrapping his arm around her slender waist. His Adam’s apple moved up and down, recalling that day’s scene.
He lowered his head and bit her fair little earlobe.
"Hmph," Melody grumbled, not wanting to acknowledge him. That day was nearly unbearable for her.
Jared’s phone chimed; it was the old man calling.
"Grandpa."
"Hmm," Grandpa Quinn was watching the news, reporters from major newspapers were calling, asking about the woman beside Jared.
He’d seen the footage too. His grandson was always deep and thoughtful, likely because Melody hadn’t agreed to go public, so he did this to let the reporters expose them.
Too bad they didn’t capture a full-face photo.
"Cough, cough," Grandpa Quinn could be heard coughing violently, as if he couldn’t manage a full sentence. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Grandpa?" Melody stared at the phone and spoke up, "Why are you coughing so badly? Is the doctor at the manor?"
Hearing that, Grandpa Quinn winked at the butler in front of him triumphantly.
His tactic never failed!
"Cough, cough," Grandpa Quinn weakly spoke after another bout of coughing, "Melody, I saw the news today, and I know what you’re both thinking. If you want to go public with your relationship, of course, I support it at my age. The last time there was an accident, I’ve thought about it, with everyone wildly speculating, it’s not good to declare you’re secretly married. Why don’t you hold a wedding ceremony?"
Young people generally like this.
Melody: "..."
"Cough, cough..." Grandpa Quinn coughed some more.
"Alright," Jared immediately responded.
Melody: "..."
"Well... let’s do it this way. I heard your parents are back from the Thorne family. If there’s time, arrange for both families to meet, and have your wedding ceremony," Grandpa suggested.
