CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: YOU’RE SUITED TO BE MRS. QIN

"Hey, what are you doing?" Melody Thorne’s heart skipped a beat as she cried out in shock. Jared Quinn had already carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the glass table in front of him.

His tall and sturdy body leaned forward, hands propped on either side of her, as if trying to see right through her. Especially after what she did today at the Adler Family’s place, he found the woman before him to be much more complex than she appeared. At the very least, she had brains and cunning.

"Hey, don’t get so close to me." Melody Thorne’s hands planted in between them, fearing any contact with Jared Quinn, and she leaned back instinctively.

Yet, Jared Quinn’s large hand moved to her waist, pulling her forward until their bodies were pressed tightly against each other, an ambiguous entanglement.

"Tell me, are you planning something?" Jared Quinn’s lips were almost touching hers, the barely noticeable masculine scent causing Melody Thorne to shiver.

But her heart soon cooled down, instinct telling her that it must be because of Ivy’s injury that he was acting this way. She couldn’t help but curve her enticing lips, stubbornly meeting his gaze, "Whatever I’m planning has nothing to do with you, Mr. Quinn!"

Lord Quinn! Tyrant Quinn!

"Nothing to do with me?" Jared Quinn’s hand moved along her supple skin, from her calf up to his masterful waist. "Do I need to remind you what kind of relationship we have? Hmm?"

"You said you would never touch me."

"Well, now I’ve changed my mind," Jared Quinn said, staring at her angry little face, cruelly curling his lips.

Melody Thorne’s eye twitched, you bastard!

"What exactly do you want?" Melody Thorne couldn’t take it anymore. If she had the strength, she would’ve left with Timmy long ago!

"I want you to report every single thing you do to me from now on!"

"Impossible."

"Are you sure?" Jared Quinn squinted his eyes.

"I’m sure. We’re just putting on an act, no need to take it seriously." As Melody Thorne said this, there was a twinge of pain in her heart.

After looking at her for a few seconds, Jared Quinn reached around her, picked up a camera, and pressed a few buttons to show her the pictures inside. While he disdained using such childish tricks, it wasn’t bad to occasionally use them on the fierce little wildcat by his side.

Melody Thorne looked at the pictures for about six seconds before realizing who the woman was in the bed, in an unflattering sleeping position, almost half-naked. She immediately reached out to snatch it, "You secretly took photos of me while I was sleeping!"

Jared Quinn stepped back and stood up, indifferent to her jumping around him. Soon, her fair little face was flushed, and she broke into a light sweat.

"Jared Quinn, you clearly hate me so much. Isn’t it good for us to stay out of each other’s business?" she tried to persuade him.

Jared Quinn lowered his handsome face, looking down at her, "I’ve changed my mind now."

"Hmm?"

"You’d make a fitting Mrs. Quinn."

Melody Thorne, "...Why?"

"Because you have cunning, methods, and brains," he judged.

"Then why didn’t you notice me before?" Melody Thorne blurted out almost instinctively. In her previous life, she couldn’t figure out this question no matter how much she thought about it. Ivy was nothing but a manipulative white lotus; what did she have that Melody didn’t?
