My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 190: Do You Even Know What Gentleness Is?

Jared Quinn let out a sneer, pressed his fingertips against her hand, and without hesitation pulled out the needle from the back of her hand. Not a drop of blood flowed, and Melody Thorne didn’t feel any pain.

"Didn’t I say I’m afraid of pain? Do you even understand what gentle means?" Melody Thorne furrowed her brows.

Jared Quinn held the back of her hand, his gaze fixed on her, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts," Melody Thorne pulled her hand back and intentionally held the spot where the needle had just been, shouting, "It hurts, it really hurts so much."

"Really?" Jared Quinn squinted his eyes.

"Yes, really, so next time, without my permission, you shouldn’t just touch things on my body," Melody Thorne quickly replied.

Jared Quinn looked at her for two or three seconds, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled the back of her hand again, then lowered his head to kiss the spot where the needle had just been, "Does it still hurt?"

Melody Thorne said, "... Your mouth isn’t medicine, how could it not hurt?"

She looked at him as if he were a monster, thinking his mouth was all-powerful.

Jared Quinn’s sharply handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly. Dr. Mo had mentioned that when a woman cries out in pain around a man, he shouldn’t do anything except kiss her, ensuring the pain is cured.

Was his kiss not deep enough?

Melody Thorne couldn’t quite grasp Jared Quinn’s emotions. In fact, there was no pain at all in her hand. When he pulled it out, she didn’t feel anything. She did it on purpose.

To tell him not to touch anything on her body without her permission.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Jared Quinn bent down and kissed it again, kissing the back of her hand just like before.

Melody Thorne shivered coldly, quickly pulled her hand back, wiped off the saliva, and her face didn’t look good.

Jared Quinn saw her expressionless demeanor around him, and suddenly felt a bit frustrated too.

"Sister-in-law," Timothy Lockwood walked in from outside the door, looked at the two people in the room with a somewhat ambiguous gaze, "I hope I’m not interrupting you."

Melody Thorne snorted coldly and threw the pillow beside her, "You used to call me a little fool, and now you’ve changed quite fast."

Timothy Lockwood replied, "...Sister-in-law, let’s just move past the old grudges, shall we?"

"Where’s Ivy? Did you let her go?" Melody Thorne asked, deliberately glancing in Jared Quinn’s direction.

Jared Quinn took out a cigarette, intending to light it, but when his peripheral vision caught sight of the wounds on Melody Thorne’s arm, he put it down again. He didn’t mean to put it down; it was like a subconscious decision. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Timothy Lockwood caught her look and understood. After all, Ivy had saved Jared Quinn before, so Jared Quinn wouldn’t let her die. Therefore, Ivy had become somewhat reckless, relying on Jared Quinn’s backing.

No matter where she went, as long as she encountered trouble, she would use Jared Quinn’s name, leading many to believe Ivy might be the young mistress of the Quinn Family.

"Sister-in-law, don’t worry, she hasn’t been released yet. She’s still soaking in seawater. I made sure to keep someone there watching so she can’t live nor die," Timothy Lockwood said, "Even though that woman saved Brother Jared, you’re now the one Brother Jared cherishes, naturally placing you above her."

Melody Thorne said nothing, looking at the man beside her, but Jared Quinn’s expression never changed. She couldn’t quite understand him at the moment.

She snorted coldly, "I’m not so keen on that."
