CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: WHY SO CARELESS?

Suddenly, a heavy shadow descended overwhelmingly, and the intense male scent surrounded her. Jared Quinn’s strong arms wrapped around her from behind.

Melody Thorne quickly closed the page, turned her head, and her pink lips brushed against the man’s cold lips, causing an inexplicable shudder to pass through her body,

"Thump thump," her heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you so close to me?" Melody Thorne frowned and tried to push him away, but collided with Jared Quinn’s other arm. He tightened his hold and lowered his chin to rest on her neck. "We need to cultivate our relationship."

He thought that having her as a spice in his dull, abstinent life wasn’t bad at all.

Melody Thorne "!!!"

This guy must be crazy. Why do they need to cultivate a relationship?

"Go away," Melody Thorne shifted her body.

"Don’t move," Jared Quinn casually draped one arm over her waist. "You know if I want to touch you, you absolutely can’t escape!"

Melody Thorne "..."

Her gaze landed on the computer, preparing to calm her mind and completely ignore the man beside her, but Jared Quinn sat behind her, arms encircling her, making her feel like she was in a furnace, especially hot.

Rendering her unable to find peace.

Suddenly, Jared Quinn reached out, and his slender and smooth fingers tapped a few times on the computer keyboard, changing the content she was looking at to various company reports.

Melody Thorne felt her head getting bigger, and in no time, her head began to droop, eventually falling asleep without knowing how.

Jared Quinn lowered his gaze, staring at the soft little face of the woman in his arms. Her black hair partially covered half of her face, accentuating the striking beauty of the other half. At this moment, she was softly nestled in his arms.

He realized that her body was indeed quite soft...

......

Morning.

Melody Thorne opened her eyes, with an arm draped over her, and a greatly magnified face appeared in front of her, charming and deeply captivating.

She realized she was lying in the man’s arms, her body pressed closely...

"Jared Quinn!" Startled, Melody Thorne tried to get up, but because her movement was too sudden, her nose bumped against the man’s chin, causing a sharp pain.

"Why are you so careless? Hmm?" His voice, resonant with a magnetic and dreamy quality upon waking, and a large hand had already landed on her nose, gently caressing.

The cold yet soft voice made Melody Thorne retreat as if she had seen a ghost. "I don’t need you to care."

Jared Quinn watched the small woman retreat to the head of the bed, and for once, a slight smile appeared at his usually tight, emotionless lips. It was so subtle that you might miss it if you didn’t look closely.

"Get up for breakfast," he kindly got out of bed a step ahead, giving her time to adjust,

since she had caught his attention, did she really think she could escape?

Whether it was the past Melody Thorne or the present her, she was destined not to escape his grasp.

As for her current changes, he would uncover them bit by bit!

Melody Thorne watched Jared Quinn’s back as he left the bedroom. She didn’t rush to get up but quickly pulled over the computer to open the page she closed yesterday.

As soon as she opened it, a message popped up, and a friend request was accepted, revealing a particularly terrifying photo.

This indeed seemed like something Caleb would do; in the previous life, he hid very well, but the ending was tragic.
