Chapter 1127: Come Out

“I’ll get you a new one,” Melody Thorne reached out with her other hand to pick a new apple.

“No, I want the one in your hand,” Ethan Knight pressed down on her hand that was reaching for the apple.

“Alright then,” Melody pushed the half-eaten apple into Ethan’s mouth.

Ethan took a bite and his expression changed dramatically. He quickly got up and spat it into the trash can. “What did you give me to eat?”

“An apple,”

“Why does it taste like this?”

“I don’t know,” Melody shook her head, indicating she didn’t know. She also tossed the other half of the apple in her hand into the trash can. Earlier, while Ethan wasn’t paying attention, she had rubbed it on the floor!

“Miss, Mr. Jared, you’re here,” the servant spoke up.

“Mm, we’re here to have dinner with Miss Thorne and my brother. Serve the dishes!”

“Yes,”

Melody Thorne’s body stiffened. She turned her head around to see Jared Quinn walking alongside Florence Knight. The handsome face was obscured with a frost-covered expression, unpredictable and gloomy.

“Come, let’s eat together,” Ethan Knight’s sullen expression immediately improved.

“I’m not hungry, I’m tired, I’m going to take a nap,” Melody Thorne turned and headed to Ethan Knight’s room.

Previously, Jared Quinn hadn’t seen her enter Ethan’s room, but now that he witnessed it, his face turned extremely displeased. It was as if her entering Ethan’s room was no different from entering their family room at home!

“She might just be too tired,” Ethan Knight took a seat at the dining table. “Come on, let’s eat, and later I’ll have the kitchen prepare something for her!”

In the room.

Melody Thorne immediately went to find the painting she had discovered earlier and took it out to examine.

Although she couldn’t understand anything, Jared Quinn had mentioned that it contained the location of weapon development sites and numerous design diagrams.

“Ding,” Melody Thorne’s phone received a text message.

[Come out!]

[Your agreement with Florence Knight is for a week, but my agreement with Ethan Knight is only for three days. You should know who should be going back now. Besides, Ethan can’t touch a woman, unlike Florence who is eager to have a man sleep with her!]

After sending the message, Melody Thorne immediately turned off her phone, refusing to receive any further messages.

In the hall, Jared Quinn’s usually unchanged expression was now charged with a heavy storm.

He was a man, unlike her.

When a woman is in the same room with a man, she is always at a disadvantage!

“Mr. Jared seems to be in a bad mood. I’ve already arranged a room for you upstairs in the guest room. You can rest anytime,” Ethan Knight said, holding a wine glass. “She might not be comfortable alone up there. I’ll bring her some food. We won’t be coming down tonight. Please excuse us if we’re not the best hosts.”

“We’re all family. No need to be so formal, brother. You should go up to accompany her,” Florence Knight urged.

“Okay,” Ethan Knight selected some dishes and went upstairs. Melody Thorne had already taken the quilt from Ethan’s bed and spread it on the floor, making a bed. The painting she had been looking at earlier was also put away.

Ethan Knight’s lips twitched slightly, “I brought you here, not for you to sleep on the floor.”

“Oh? Did you want me to sleep on your bed?” Melody Thorne chuckled softly. “I don’t mind at all. The question is, can you handle me sleeping in your bed?”

Ethan Knight’s expression turned dangerously dark, “Who told you I couldn’t let you sleep in my bed? Why else would I bring you to Knight Palace Gate and let you stay for three days just to get the antidote? If you’ve straightened me out, then let me be even straighter.”
