My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 244: I’m Hungry...

Melody Thorne was woken up by a phone call, from Nina King.

"What’s up?" She remembered she could head to her scenes later today, no need to catch the sunset or act in any emotional scenes.

It was a scene with Crystal Lancaster.

"Melody, I tried that newcomer, can you guess what happened? I just had a few guys pretend to bully a young girl, and that idiot jumped in, punching them one by one. Oh my God, took them all down! Didn’t see that coming, this kid is truly too straightforward."

Melody Thorne "..."

She scratched her head irritably, feeling a bit disoriented and questioning life, "You woke me up early in the morning just for this?"

Nina King "...No, I filmed a video. I let someone release the first part—the part where that kid started hitting—and plan to release the second part once the attention and backlash have built up."

This is called finding life from a desperate situation.

"Alright, anything else?"

"No...th-that’s all."

The phone call ended, and Melody Thorne tossed the phone aside, planning to go back to sleep. Her hands and feet found a comfortable position to wrap around.

Damn it, been holding this all night, hot in the first half, but really comfortable in the second half.

Jared Quinn had been awake for a while, looking at the woman in his arms with deep eyes, faintly reflecting a hint of complexity.

Melody Thorne closed her eyes for another five minutes.

Suddenly, she sat up.

"Did you have a dream?" Jared Quinn felt a sudden emptiness as his embrace was vacated, which was a bit irritating.

"No," Melody Thorne ran her hand through her hair and spoke irritably, "I can’t sleep with you staring at me like that."

His eyes felt like two daggers hanging above her head, making her feel as if she could lose her life at any moment.

Jared Quinn "..."

His hand wrapped around Melody Thorne’s waist, "Sleep a bit more, I’ll close my eyes."

Melody Thorne lay down and suddenly sat up again.

Jared Quinn furrowed his handsome brows, "What is it now?"

"I’m hungry..." Melody Thorne stood up from the bed, put on her shoes, walked to the door, and tugged at it, finding it still locked from the outside.

"It’s been all night, how come it’s still locked?"

Jared Quinn’s eyes grew cold, but only momentarily, and he said lightly, "The butler brought breakfast to the kitchen earlier, it should still be warm."

"He came already?" Melody Thorne said in frustration, "Why was the door still locked after he came?"

Jared Quinn didn’t answer because it was his instruction.

Melody Thorne’s phone rang again, this time it was Titus Quinn calling.

"Grandpa."

"Melody," said the old man’s voice with a tinge of sadness, "I know that kid hasn’t done right by you, but I only have two grandsons. Titus Quinn has never come back, and Jared is the only one who visits me often.

You can teach him a lesson, even punish him, but please don’t go too far. That kid just appears cold on the surface,

Grandpa can see it; he’s already changing."

Melody Thorne was startled by the old man’s sudden lament, instinctively glancing at Jared Quinn, "Grandpa, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to him."

Damn it, why does it feel like I’m being treated as some kind of murderer? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Sigh," Titus Quinn let out a deep sigh, "I heard he was coughing up blood yesterday and had some infected wounds?"

Melody Thorne, feeling guilty, immediately said, "Don’t worry, Grandpa, his wounds will definitely heal this time."

"So I’ll leave it to you, then?"
