Jared tossed the tie in his hand to the butler, his dark phoenix eyes fixated on the little woman in front of him who seemed unaware of the impending doom.
"Melody～" Timmy was sitting on the couch, holding an iPad and playing a game. As soon as he saw her come back, he spread his arms wide for a hug.
Melody Thorne walked over, picked up little Timmy in her arms, and softly asked, "Why are you still up so late?"
"I'm afraid you won't come back," Timmy said, tightly clutching Melody Thorne and occasionally glancing warily in Jared's direction.
Jared's dark brows twitched twice, and he pinched his brow before heading upstairs.
Halfway up, he deliberately paused and pointed in Melody Thorne's direction, "I'll give you an hour."
Melody Thorne snorted coldly, understanding he meant she had an hour to be back in the room.
"So fierce," Timmy whispered in Melody Thorne's ear.
"Absolutely," Melody Thorne agreed wholeheartedly.
Jared: "..."
