lody Thorne lifted the corners of her lips; it hadn’t been in vain to put on a show.
"This lody Thorne really seems to have changed." In a small car parked by the roadside, a man nad Timothy Lockwood was using a camcorder to record lody Thorne’s actions. He pressed a few buttons with his large hand, sending everything he had just recorded to another man,
noted as Jared Quinn in his contacts.
Quinn Villa.
She walked inside, treading on the roadside wildflowers while daydreaming. Now that the problems at school were settled and her diploma was secure,
once she made a lot of money, she could shake off Jared Quinn and run away with Timmy.
Thinking of Timmy made lody’s eyes light up, her heart softening imnsely. Knowing that around this ti Jared Quinn would definitely not be ho, that man was almost never ho since she married into the family.
The reason being his disdain for her.
She walked briskly, the sound of her footsteps tapping as she ran inside, cheerfully putting on her earphones and playing a jazz song, humming, "Love isn’t so easy... Everyone has their own temper..."
"My love, at the age of dreaming..."
"Hey, hey."
She took imported Australian bananas, apples, and grapes from the kitchen fridge. After peeling them, she arranged them into a smiling face on a plate while secretly complaining.
Things they obviously had in Stellaria, yet they imported from Veldona, what a ridiculous waste, right? Aren’t the dostic ones good enough?
lody Thorne grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth.
Hmm, delicious. The ones from Veldona certainly are different. This taste, tsk tsk, let have a few more.
Unbeknownst to her, a man was standing near the staircase, his dark eyes inscrutable.
When lody Thorne ran in earlier, he had just co down the stairs, intending to scoff and leave upon seeing her return. But lody Thorne surprisingly beat him to it, running into the kitchen.
This wasn’t a big deal,
but the crucial part was, lody Thorne didn’t even notice him this ti!!
The man’s handso features beca even more pronounced, his expression shadowy.
After preparing the fruit platter, lody walked upstairs towards Timmy’s room, still humming "Love isn’t so easy... Everyone has their own temper...".
She even exaggeratedly made a lifting gesture.
All the while, she didn’t notice the handso man standing silently at the staircase landing.
"lody Thorne"! Jared Quinn’s deep voice resonated from his throat, his gaze on her probing deeply.
lody was still humming, blissfully unaware of the danger nearby, only sensing a sudden tension in the air around her, and a palpable chill.
The chill made her hairs stand on end.
lody shivered briefly, then darted into Timmy’s room.
Jared Quinn "!!!".
This woman dared to ignore him!
The man took stable, determined steps, preparing to go upstairs.
"Master Jared," ca the butler’s voice from downstairs, "The old master called, he wants you to take the call."
Moreover, judging by the old master’s tone, he sounded quite angry!
Upon hearing that the elder Quinn called, Jared Quinn’s dark, phoenix-like eyes dangerously narrowed, casting a glance towards the room upstairs.
That look seed to carry an overwhelming force, capable of terrifying anyone.
"Grandfather..." Jared Quinn answered the phone.
"Is it delicious, my dear?" lody Thorne, carrying the tray and removing her earphones, looked at Timmy with eyes so tender it almost seed like they could drip water.
This little gentleman was hers, he was hers.
