CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 26: FLIRTING AND RUNNING AWAY

Jared Quinn took out the camera, turning it on to take a look. He wanted to see what this little woman was hiding from him this time!

Melody Thorne saw his large hand about to press the camera switch and, without a second thought, lunged forward.

With a "bang," Melody Thorne, in her anxiety, used too much force and directly bumped her forehead into Jared Quinn’s chest, causing her vision to blur with stars dancing around.

"Melody Thorne!" came a cold voice from above her.

Melody looked up, caught off guard, into a pair of eyes deep and dark like an endless abyss, making her heart tremble as she tried to retreat.

It was only when she moved back that she realized she was sitting atop Jared Quinn, in a dominant position.

And the man beneath her had already been successfully knocked down by her.

Melody Thorne "!!!"

As she was thinking about how to explain her action of once again knocking him down, the half-closed bedroom door suddenly opened...

"What are you doing?" Timmy walked in from outside, clutching a pillow, still sleepy but instantly awake upon seeing their posture, looking at them in despair.

His heart was stabbed, catching them sneaking into his dad’s room behind his back.

"Timmy," Melody Thorne saw Timmy’s expression change, quickly jumped off Jared Quinn, and hugged Timmy, explaining, "He hit me first, so I hit him back."

"So you two were fighting just now?" Timmy’s expression turned subtle.

"Yes, yes," Melody Thorne nodded repeatedly, afraid little Timmy wouldn’t believe her, and continued to complain, pointing to her chin and forehead, "Look, he hit me until they turned red."

Jared Quinn "!!!"

"Dad, how can you hit a woman?" Little Timmy looked at Melody Thorne with a pained expression, pouting and blowing at her wounds. "I’ve told you, stay away from my dad, stay away from my dad, but you just don’t listen!"

Jared Quinn "!!!"

His anger churned within his body, ready to erupt, and the air grew colder and colder!

Melody Thorne knew this was Jared Quinn’s prelude to anger, just like it had been in the past.

"Timmy, let’s go back to the room and sleep," she picked up the little one and quickly left the bedroom.

The man’s handsome, icy face inside still bore the traces of a storm that hadn’t subsided.

And the flames that had just been ignited.

Jared looked down, and his body accurately told him how quickly he had reacted to her just moments ago.

And that woman, after provoking him with anger and fury, actually just ran away now, damn it!

He picked up the camera from the floor with his large hand and directly opened it, looking through the photos one by one. The further he went, the deeper and more dangerous his phoenix eyes became!

Until he reached the last photo, his large hand almost crushed the camera, a hint of a cold smile tugging at his crimson lips, with a meaning unclear,

The atmosphere around, along with the man’s presence, seemed to plummet into endless darkness in a moment.

Melody Thorne, holding little Timmy, didn’t dare to linger and quickly returned to Timmy’s bedroom,

Her heart thumped loudly,

Only after locking the door did she feel they were finally safe.

But the camera still worried her...

"Melody, sleep," Timmy stretched his little arms, sleepily yawning and asking for a hug.
