Jared Quinn said nothing, sitting on another sofa with a handsome yet weary face. He had changed into a white shirt and dress pants.
"I've heard about your situation. I plan to take Melody back to Crestfall for now until you can control yourself, then come for her."
"Dad," Melody Thorne interrupted, "I don't want to go back to Crestfall."
Crestfall was too far away from here, requiring a private jet to come and go, but she wanted to see Jared Quinn.
"Jared, what do you think? Melody is pregnant now, can you really bear if anything happens to her?" Howard Seymour didn't ask Melody, knowing it was pointless, so he shifted the conversation to Jared Quinn.
"Whatever he says is useless. If I say I'm not going back, then I'm not going back," Melody interrupted.
"Go back for now," Jared's voice was hoarse. "I'll come for you when I can control myself."
He didn't want today's incident to happen a second time.
"No," Melody insisted firmly.
