CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: WHY SHOULD I?

"All for you!" She angrily stuffed everything into his hands and stormed upstairs, slamming the bedroom door.

Jared Quinn "..."

The butler quietly turned around. He really didn’t notice that the young mistress wanted to win over the young master’s taste buds.

"Bastard" Melody Thorne lay on the bed angrily, pulling the blanket over her head. How did she not see that Jared Quinn was so odious before!!!

In the evening, the butler prepared dinner. Melody Thorne took a few dishes that Timmy loved and put a little bit of each onto an empty plate, placing it in front of Timmy, "Little darling, eat more."

Timmy nodded obediently and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Just as Jared Quinn was about to pick up his chopsticks, Melody Thorne poured spoonful after spoonful of chili over his food. It was her homemade chili oil, something most people couldn’t handle, guaranteed to make one cry, let alone someone like Jared Quinn, a noble young master who never ate spicy food.

"I recently started enjoying spicy food. You don’t mind, right?" Melody Thorne chuckled, "Oh, how could you mind? Generally, men who are stronger and more manly like spicy food. Such men can attract women the most."

"Do you like men who can eat spicy food?" Jared Quinn narrowed his cold eyes.

"Of course," Melody Thorne picked up her chopsticks to grab some food, but just as she was about to eat, another pair of chopsticks clamped onto hers and sent the food into his mouth.

That fiery taste...

"Look at me," Jared Quinn commanded.

Melody Thorne rested her chin in her hands and smiled at him. Bite after bite, the man’s lips were stained with red chili oil, looking even more wickedly alluring.

Jared Quinn finished an entire plate, his long tongue wiping away the chili oil at the corner of his lips, glaring at her provocatively, "Enough?"

"Enough, enough," Melody Thorne nodded, watching as the man undid two buttons of his white shirt, revealing small red spots appearing on his skin.

He ate too much spicy food and had an allergy reaction, which is why there were no chilies in the Quinn Family, something Melody Thorne always knew.

"Strange, they say men who eat spicy food are the most charming, but I just don’t feel it," she murmured softly as she went upstairs.

Jared Quinn "!!!"

The temperature in the hall swiftly dropped.

Timmy shivered, got down from his chair, and scurried back to his room, feeling sad as Melody left so quickly. His dad was cold, really cold.

......

[Melody Thorne, I’m outside the Quinn Family. Let’s meet.]

Melody Thorne was about to sleep after giving Timmy a bath when she received Ivy’s text.

She had almost forgotten that Jared Quinn no longer allowed her to freely come and go from the Quinn Family.

"Darling, sleep first, I’ll be right back," Melody Thorne changed into sportswear and kissed little Timmy on the forehead.

She jogged downstairs, where Jared Quinn had an IV drip in his right hand and a laptop in his left. He had eaten too much spicy food, hurting his aristocratic stomach.

"Where to?" He looked up.

Melody Thorne gave him an annoyed glance and ran out of the villa.

Outside the villa.

"What’s up?"

Ivy quickly walked up to her, emotions running high, "Melody Thorne, I want you to give up the leading role!"

"Why should I?" Melody Thorne chuckled coolly, crossing her arms. "The role was appointed by Director Irving. Even if I withdrew from the lead role, it wouldn’t be your turn."

"Who says? If you withdrew, he would definitely choose me as the lead. He would never cast someone who has never acted as the main role. Surely, you used your relationship with Jared Quinn to threaten him." Ivy became more agitated, wanting to strangle the woman who had snatched her role.
