CHAPTER 16: CHAPTER 16: CLOSE YOUR EYES

Timothy Lockwood’s analysis was spot on; in the past, Melody Thorne would go to any lengths to attract Jared Quinn’s attention.

Timothy, you big mouth!

Melody Thorne clenched her fist. If it weren’t for Timmy and Mr. Quinn’s sake, the first thing she would have done upon waking up was slap Jared Quinn with a divorce paper!

Do I still need to pretend?

She opened the bedroom door and walked in. Because of Grandpa Qin’s wishes and the butler needing to report to him daily, some of her belongings and clothes were still in Jared’s bedroom. Melody Thorne picked out a black knee-length dress and tossed it onto the large bed. She went into the bathroom and let down her long hair tied up with a hairband.

The long, ink-black hair fell behind her and spread out to her waist. That already exquisite and flawless oval face was adorned to become even more beautiful and charming, captivating without any need for makeup.

Melody Thorne reached behind to unzip her dress, removing it as she walked outside. The garment slipped off her shoulder, revealing large porcelain-like white skin. But just as she was pulling the dress completely off, she felt a pair of icicles staring at her.

She suddenly looked up and saw Jared Quinn sitting on the large bed, his handsome figure. His dark narrow almond eyes reflected her scantily clad state at this moment.

From her hair, eyes, down to her collarbone, and continuing downward, as if to see through her every inch!

"Ah!" Melody Thorne screamed, quickly turning her back, face flushed. "Jared Quinn, you’re peeping at me!"

Her tone, along with calling his full name, didn’t seem fake, but it left Jared feeling inexplicably annoyed. He stared at the snow-white lines of her back and curled his lips into a cold sneer. "This is my room."

Melody Thorne "..."

But she had clearly locked the door!

"Then close your eyes, I need to change clothes."

Jared Quinn squinted his dark eyes. "You think what I saw last night in the bathtub wasn’t clear enough?"

His bathroom was brightly lit, not to mention, she had undressed herself and entered his bathtub naked, having put in substantial effort to seduce him.

Melody Thorne "..."

She took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and turned around with her clothes. After all, everything that should have been seen was seen last night, covering up would only make it seem fake.

Melody Thorne threw the clothes in her hand onto a nearby chair, walked barefoot over without any cover, took her dress, and put it on, reaching behind to zip it up.

The girl’s subtle scent of milk lingered around Jared Quinn’s prominent nose, unconsciously reminding him of last night, her taste, and her soft, boneless body. His fingertips even retained the sensation, akin to fine jade.

Damn it, he was actually distracted by this woman. Jared Quinn’s dark eyes were suddenly covered with a thin layer of ice, and his sharp gaze once again fell on Melody Thorne.

At this moment, Melody Thorne was reaching behind to pull her zipper, the black strap slipping slightly as she turned sideways...

"Melody Thorne," Jared suddenly stood up, stood in front of her, turned her around, pressing her against the wall, his tall body tightly against hers, and said coldly, "Is this fun?"

"Wha...what?" Melody Thorne placed both hands on the wall, her small face pressing against it, and her back against the man’s chest. This posture made her feel very insecure.

She was a bit tongue-tied, this man was way too fickle.
