CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 152: WHEN DID IT START?

"I’m hungry," Melody Thorne said, wanting to get down.

"I’m hungry too," Jared Quinn’s gaze was fixed tightly on her.

"There’s food over there," Melody Thorne said, clearly missing the mood, as she pulled back her foot and jumped off the table, barefoot, heading to eat.

The thick white plush carpet in Jared Quinn’s office was very comfortable to walk on.

Just as she sat down, she got up again to return to the bedroom to fetch Timmy.

Timmy was half asleep, and Melody Thorne was afraid of startling him, so she spoke very softly, "Little darling, time to eat. You can sleep after eating."

"Little darling~"

Timmy let out a grunt and rested his head on Melody Thorne’s shoulder, continuing to sleep.

Melody Thorne kept calling him persistently.

The more Jared Quinn listened, the more his brow furrowed. He understood his son well enough; clearly awake but pretending to be asleep just to make Melody Thorne hold him.

"Timmy!" Jared Quinn called out sternly.

Little Timmy was startled awake suddenly, curling up in Melody Thorne’s arms, acting as if he was very scared.

Melody Thorne held him close, glaring fiercely at the man sitting over there, "You scared him!"

Jared Quinn’s face darkened. Was his son really scared? At three years old, he had returned on his own after being kidnapped. His intellect surpassed that of any other child by leaps and bounds.

"Baby’s scared," Timmy huddled in Melody Thorne’s arms, "I told you, he’s very violent."

"Yes, yes," Melody Thorne patted Timmy’s back with one hand to comfort him, nodding repeatedly.

Jared Quinn "..."

"Come out and eat by yourself," Jared Quinn strode over.

"Don’t scare him again," Melody Thorne said annoyed,

Her attitude towards him was like night and day compared to earlier.

Jared Quinn was furious, deciding firmly to enroll Timmy in a couple more classes.

It was already eight o’clock in the evening when they returned to the villa. Little Timmy followed the butler to bathe and sleep, while Melody Thorne stood in the living room downstairs, talking on the phone with Kiki Sutton.

"I heard from Hans Montrose, so I haven’t called you these past two days to let you and Jared Quinn get along well."

"Aren’t you afraid he’ll strangle me?" Melody Thorne said irritably.

"Impossible," Kiki Sutton chuckled lightly, "He usually has people following you to protect..." not even finishing...

Kiki suddenly realized, quickly stopped, almost revealing everything. Goodness, too careless.

"Protect me from what?" Melody Thorne squinted her eyes.

"No, no, I, I mean sometimes I see people from the Quinn Family following to protect you," Kiki explained, but after saying it, she realized it didn’t feel right,

Isn’t this indirectly telling Melody Thorne that the Quinn Family had always been sending people to protect her?

And she herself was unaware, Jared Quinn never mentioned it to her, and now Kiki let it slip.

"I just remembered I have something else to do," Kiki hurriedly said, hanging up the phone.

"Kiki."

The dialing tone echoed from the phone.

What did Jared Quinn mean by having people follow her? How did she never notice?

Since when did this start?

Did he also know about the times she met with Caleb before? How much did he know?

Melody Thorne felt a chill down her spine, incredulous, as she looked up towards Jared Quinn’s study and walked up.

What did he mean by this? Was he having people track and monitor her?

"Jared Quinn," Melody Thorne opened Jared Quinn’s study door and walked straight in. The man wasn’t dealing with work; he was lazily leaning back in his chair, rubbing his temples with a large hand.
