Chapter 701: Did You Hear Me?
Rochelle Thorne’s face turned pale in an instant, "No, no, I’m your daughter, you personally acknowledged me.""At that time, I acknowledged you probably out of pity, plus I had lost my memory and couldn’t recall much. Those doctors told me you were my daughter, so I accepted you. I just felt something was missing, and it wasn’t until I met Melody that I realized it—I missed my daughter."
"No, no, Mom."
"Take her away," Madam Thorne instructed the driver. "I acknowledged her in Crestfall; if you send her back there, you don’t have to worry about her anymore."
"No, no, Mom, please don’t make me leave, I promise to listen to you this time."
The servants dragged Rochelle Thorne away.
"Mom," Melody Thorne spoke, hugging Madam Thorne without changing the way she addressed her.
This brought tears to Madam Thorne’s eyes, "Ah."
"Madam Thorne, I haven’t yet thanked you for saving me and taking in my daughter. Melody says you’ve always treated her like your own daughter. If you agree, my daughter is still yours, she is mine too," Sila said with a gentle smile.
"Alright, alright."
Only after thanking Madam Thorne did Sila remember another person but considering this woman was now Melody’s mother-in-law, she held back for now. If her daughter was not treated well, there would be consequences.
"What’s wrong? Something on your mind?" Sila glanced over at her daughter, who not only had grown up to be elegant but was also good with people.
"Mom, when are you and Dad going back to Crestfall?" Melody Thorne furrowed her brow.
The tone of chasing someone away made Sila chuckle, "We’ve only just found you, so after there are no major issues between you and Jared Quinn, we’ll leave. Before going back, we’d also like to set a date for your wedding."
"Alright..."
For several days, Jared Quinn showed up every morning, seeming exhausted each time as if he hadn’t rested well. Melody Thorne looked at him with some worry, "Jared, what have you been busy with these past few days? Why do you always look so tired?"
Jared Quinn took her small hand and gently kissed it, "I’ll be going abroad for a few days soon, and I’ll be back in about seven days. Stay at the hotel and don’t go anywhere, understand?"
"Why are you going abroad for seven days? Isn’t there still a lot going on with the Quinn Family here? And the Lin Family, too—I heard they’ve been quite rampant at the company."
"Let them be rampant; otherwise, how will we strike them precisely? I’ll deal with the Lin Family later, but there are more important matters right now. You just stay at the hotel and protect yourself."
Melody Thorne had a bad feeling, "Is it just a routine business trip?"
"Yes."
An hour later, a private plane landed on the hotel rooftop, where Harold Chapman and Leon Rivers were already waiting for him.
Jared Quinn reluctantly separated from Melody Thorne, kissing her slightly swollen lips, "Be good, okay?"
"Oh," Melody Thorne’s fair skin was tinged with a blush, making Jared Quinn even more reluctant to part. Hardening his resolve, he left the room.
The helicopter departed, and Melody Thorne immediately got up and called Simon Sutton, "Why is Jared Quinn going abroad?"
"Abroad?" Simon Sutton was obviously stunned for a second because their boss hadn’t gone abroad at all.
"Hmm?"
"Yes, yes, there’s a major cooperation project that needs negotiation. The boss will be back soon. Don’t worry, ma’am," Simon Sutton lied with a straight face.
