But he still let go.
Melody Thorne jumped down and said seriously, "I like the respect you give me. I'm going upstairs now. Goodbye."
"Thump, thump, thump," she ran off.
Jared Quinn: "...…"
A storm swept across the man's face, growing more intense. Damn it, he wanted to question her about who helped her, but he didn't get to the point.
The butler noticed his young master's increasingly gloomy expression and couldn't help but remind him, "Should we continue having people protect the young lady?"
Given the former relationship between the Thorne and Quinn families, they absolutely could not leave Melody Thorne unprotected; her safety still had to be ensured.
Seeing that the man didn't respond, the butler continued, "No one knows about your marriage to the young lady now, and she is so resistant to you. Maybe let her face some hardships outside. After all, she's a girl, inexperienced with the world. Once she encounters some setbacks, maybe she'll come back."
