My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 409: What Are You Afraid Of?

"Oh, by the way, you probably don’t know," Stella Seymour pointed at Caleb, "He will be your personal guard from now on. You understand what a personal guard is, right? It means he’ll follow you wherever you go for the rest of your life. He’s signed a contract with our Seymour Family, and the contract lasts for twenty years. The contract between you two is just beginning."

Melody Thorne "..."

What exactly is the Seymour Family? She only knew that their business spanned the globe, dealing in everything, but what was this about a personal guard?

Jared Quinn’s handsome features were clouded with anger. He pulled Melody Thorne into his embrace. "I don’t care what your intentions are. Melody Thorne is now the wife of Jared Quinn. If you want to take her away, it’ll be only over my dead body, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!"

"Besides, I’m not the person you’re looking for," Melody Thorne had already vaguely sensed that the Seymour Family wasn’t as simple as an ordinary family. She hadn’t seen them in twenty years, so why should she go back with them now?

"Unless you can provide evidence to prove that I belong to the Seymour Family."

Stella Seymour bit her lip as she stared at Melody Thorne. Did this woman even know what she was saying? Did she think entering and leaving the Seymour Family was that easy?

There were countless people in the world who would break their backs trying to enter the Seymour Family.

"There’s a scar on your palm, small in shape, from a burn you got when you were young," Caleb’s eyes stared at Melody Thorne with his hands in his pockets, hinting, "Don’t deny it. This is a good opportunity for you. Haven’t you always wanted to leave the Quinn Family? Even the divorce papers are ready. So, what are you afraid of now?"

The arm around Melody Thorne’s waist suddenly tightened, causing her some pain.

She lifted her head and suddenly met Jared Quinn’s fiery black eyes, which concealed an indescribable danger. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

She believed that Jared might do anything for her at this moment.

And at this time, she must not let the Quinn Family and the Seymour Family become hostile.

Moreover, when did she ever say she was definitely going back to the Seymour Family?

"You’ve got the wrong person," Melody Thorne revealed both of her palms. Her palms were smooth and white, apart from the normal lines nothing else was there at all.

As Caleb’s gaze fixed on her palms, it darkened, and he stepped closer to grab her hand to take a clearer look, but a big hand blocked him before he could grasp Melody Thorne’s arm.

Afraid they might start a fight, Melody stepped quickly between the two, showing Caleb her palm so he could see clearly.

There really was nothing there.

Stella Seymour’s expression changed as well. She was the one to bring this up, so what was going on?

"I heard from Grandpa that her palms were burned and scarred when she was young. How can there be nothing there?" Stella attempted to grab Melody Thorne’s arm to take a good look.

Melody Thorne quickly retracted her hands and moved closer into Jared Quinn’s embrace. "See for yourselves; I’m not the person you’re looking for. You should look for someone else."

Her fingers clasped the spot within her palm.

Caleb squinted his eyes, deep in thought as a faint hint of vulnerability crossed his face. "Even if there are no scars on your palms, your appearance alone says it all."
