CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 96: HANDS OFF

Everyone inside and outside the room froze all of a sudden; Melody Thorne was the first to react and pushed him away.

Timothy Lockwood’s eyes widened, not expecting to see such a steamy scene. He went to the villa to find Jared Quinn, the butler said Jared had taken Melody Thorne to the hospital. He thought Jared had lost control and strangled her.

Who knew they’d be kissing so passionately, so uncontrollably.

"What are you doing here?" Jared Quinn’s handsome face was icy, clearly displeased at being interrupted!

The two doctors sensibly retreated.

Timothy Lockwood’s mouth hung open for a long time, and when he finally spoke, he babbled nonsense, "I thought... I thought Melody Thorne was strangled by you, so... so I came to the rescue."

"You think I needed your help?" Jared Quinn looked at him with a half-smile, the chill emanating from him making Timothy shiver.

"No... no need, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off now, I’ll be off, won’t disturb you anymore." Timothy turned to leave but suddenly turned back, "If you need some condoms, you can call me, I’ll deliver them right away."

"Get lost." Melody Thorne’s face turned beet red, she grabbed a teacup from the table and threw it.

Timothy Lockwood dodged quickly and made a hasty retreat.

Jared Quinn’s gaze returned to Melody Thorne, more precisely to her lips, with a meaningful look...

Melody Thorne recoiled defensively, pulling the blanket over her head.

She was internally cursing herself to death, why did she let him kiss her?

Jared Quinn withdrew his gaze, took out his phone, and made a call, "From now on, block all male-registered numbers on Melody Thorne’s phone. I don’t want to see any more junk messages!"

"Understood."

Melody Thorne "..."

The villa,

When the two returned, all the servants were busy; outside, the backyard garden was set up luxuriously and lively.

"Young master, young madam, you’re back," the butler greeted them, holding various roses.

"What’s going on?" Melody Thorne looked around, noticing champagne, fine wine, and fresh flowers. "Are we taking a concubine?"

The butler "..."

Jared Quinn tilted his head, pinching her perky nose with his large hand, "Cut that sarcastic tone."

Melody Thorne’s heart trembled slightly at his touch, then she stepped back two steps, her face cold, "Don’t touch my nose."

She didn’t like people touching her nose at all.

"Say that again?" He took a step towards her.

Melody Thorne "...just don’t touch!"

Jared Quinn reached out with his large hand, grabbed her arm without holding a grudge, and said plainly, "Go take your medicine."

Melody Thorne turned to look at him, somewhat incredulous, because aside from that unexpected kiss last night, he hadn’t cared about any of her affairs.

"Mr. Quinn," a woman’s voice came from the staircase. Ivy and Mrs. Quinn stood there, watching their interaction just now. suppressing the anger in their chests, they spoke gently, "You’re back?"

"Let go of me." Seeing Ivy appear in the Quinn family, Melody Thorne pushed Jared Quinn’s hand away, her face instantly cold.

Jared Quinn, standing so close to her, naturally noticed her change, especially the hostility in her eyes.

"What’s going on?" Jared Quinn looked at the butler.

"The madam wants to hold a private celebration for Miss Ivy here..."
