CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: MINE...

Jared Quinn didn’t really eat the food she brought; from time to time, he would look up at the girl on the sofa. His gaze would wander from her fair little feet up over her graceful curves and slender long legs, to the way she lay holding a pillow.

Inexplicably, a surge of heat arose in his body. He could almost determine now that Melody Thorne was the same as other women, yet somehow she broke through his taboo. His body would almost immediately react when he came into contact with her.

But, upon recalling the information reported by the men in black secretly following Melody Thorne, his gaze turned a few shades colder. When he looked at Melody again, he found the girl lying motionless on the sofa.

He got up and strode over.

"Melody Thorne"

The girl on the sofa remained completely still.

"Melody Thorne" Jared Quinn bent down, his brow twitched,

Melody Thorne’s forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and she was asleep with her eyes closed.

She seemed to be having a nightmare, her brows furrowed tightly, and her body was tightly curled together.

Jared Quinn’s large hand unconsciously brushed aside a strand of hair from the girl’s forehead, his long fingers gently smoothing her frown.

"Timmy... Timmy" Melody Thorne seemed to find support, clutching Jared Quinn’s arm, "No... no, give him back to me."

Melody Thorne spoke intermittently, once again dreaming of her scenario before rebirth, witnessing Ivy taking away her child, her Timmy.

"My..."

Jared Quinn pressed his lips together, picking her up from the sofa.

The Quinn Family, when Melody Thorne woke up, she was in the bedroom of the Quinn Family. She didn’t know when she had fallen asleep; since her rebirth, she realized a problem. She would fall asleep unconsciously, especially in the initial days of her rebirth.

And today she fell asleep again. It hadn’t happened in a few days, each time lasting longer, perhaps it won’t happen eventually.

"Gurgle" Melody Thorne covered her stomach; when she brought food to Jared Quinn at noon, she hadn’t eaten, so she was now hungry.

She put on her shoes, opened the door, and left the room.

Downstairs, she saw the butler on the phone, and he seemed quite excited about something, "Yes, yes, don’t worry, sir. I personally saw the young master carry the little madam back."

"Mm, mm, good." She didn’t know what was said on the other side, but the butler nodded repeatedly, hung up the phone, and turned around.

"Ah, little madam." The butler was utterly startled upon seeing Melody Thorne.

Melody Thorne now knew that it wasn’t she who had been complaining to Grandpa Quinn, but the butler.

"Are you ready to retire, or are you planning to leave on your own?" Melody Thorne looked at him with a half-smile.

"Madam," the butler said, looking at her nervously, "I was forced. I really was forced."

"So, will you leave on your own?"

"No, no, madam, you can’t make me leave. I swear I won’t report to old Master Quinn about you and the young master anymore, I really won’t."

Melody Thorne gave him a cool glance. In her previous life, the butler had never troubled her and had actually helped her both openly and covertly, so she was only scaring him, giving him a warning.

"No need, you continue to report to old Master Quinn, just make sure you know what you should and shouldn’t say, okay?"
