"Then why are you stopping me?" Melody Thorne pressed against the wall, her gaze towards the man filled with irritation.
Jared Quinn narrowed his eyes, his coarse thumb rubbing across her red lips. "I saved you last night just so you can avoid me like this?"
"You saved me?" Melody scoffed, the corners of her lips curling with mockery. "You were clearly trying to exonerate Ivy. Do you think I'm still as naive as before and can't see through it? You're siding with her. If Grandpa Jared were to check the surveillance, she wouldn't get away so easily!"
"Melody Thorne!" The more she spoke, the colder and darker Jared's rigid features became. He truly wanted to pry open her head to see what kind of nonsensical things she was thinking all the time.
Who said he did what he did yesterday for Ivy!
