Obviously, everything happened too suddenly, even Jared Quinn was montarily stunned and couldn’t regain his composure for a long while. His large hands clutched lody Thorne’s collar, unsure whether to let go or not.
His usually expressionless handso face now appeared fickle and unsettled.
Had he been undermined, and by his own son at that? The anger stuck in his chest instantly.
lody Thorne blinked, waiting for the man in front of her to release her, but the tall man seed unwilling to let go.
"I’ve said it so clearly, why don’t you understand?" lody Thorne boldly raised a finger, poking Jared’s chest repeatedly, straightening up with each poke,
"I said I no longer love you. If I once did, it ended the night two days ago when I showed up in your bath. Understand? My current focus is no longer you but Timmy. The only reason I’m not leaving the Quinn family now is purely because... of Grandpa Quinn’s feelings."
"So... can you let go of now?" Her finger gave the man’s chest one last poke, tugging back her collar as she did so.
She headed briskly toward Timmy, scooping up the adorable little darling. "Co on, let’s go to the room and tell stories."
"Okay," Timmy wrapped his arms around her neck.
The man still stood in that spot, perhaps because lody Thorne was chasing after him just two days ago, and now she was running around with his son instead, making him sohow unable to swallow this mortification.
"Young master, it seems Master Timmy really likes Miss Tang," the butler remarked, his implication clear.
All along, Jared Quinn hadn’t had ti to accompany Timmy and was planning to find him a stepmother. Seeing lody Thorne and Timmy’s relationship so much like mother and son,
and knowing lody’s blood could save Timmy, it couldn’t be any better.
Thinking and thinking, the butler suddenly realized sothing, "I understand why the young madam is doing this, because she wants Timmy to like her, to not be able to leave her, to want her exclusively, so she can always be the mistress here, and ultimately, her goal is to cling onto you in the future."
The butler spoke without blushing or gasping for breath.
Jared Quinn’s stern, cold features lightened up just a tiny bit as he turned to go upstairs.
After bringing the little bun into the room, lody Thorne’s heart was still pounding, due to the long-buried fear of him from her past life,
but she had just counterattacked perfectly.
lody Thorne really wanted to laugh out loud; it felt so satisfying to poke his chest just now.
"lody, what are you thinking?" Timmy handed her a fairy tale book, "Shall we sleep?"
"Sure," lody Thorne replied cheerfully, feeling great after what had just happened.
She dimd the lights, and after telling three stories, Timmy had fallen asleep. lody Thorne went downstairs to get a drink of water, rembering that her cara was still with Jared Quinn.
Today she had the upper hand, but when the evidence is presented tomorrow, she might not have the upper hand any longer.
lody Thorne pondered as her footsteps unconsciously, almost out of habit, headed toward Jared Quinn’s bedroom. The door was unlocked, half-open, with dim lighting inside, and the sound of water ca from the direction of the bathroom.
This was a good opportunity!!
