My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 336: You Only Have Me as Your Husband Now

Melody Thorne felt she couldn’t fit in anymore; they were the real family, and what about her?

Just as Melody was contemplating whether to leave immediately, a pair of strong arms turned her around and pressed her face against his chest. Jared Quinn’s emotionless voice came from above her, "Mrs. Thorne, you must be tired, right? I’ve already arranged a place for you to stay; you can rest anytime."

"Are you... Jared Quinn?"

Before Mrs. Tang could speak, the woman beside her did, "Hello, I’m Rochelle Thorne. My last name wasn’t originally Thorne; my mom changed it later."

Jared Quinn shielded Melody Thorne, covering her ears, sparing her from hearing any irritating noises.

"I never acknowledged you as a Thorne!" Finn Thorne’s anger hung in the air, but he couldn’t make a scene. If Mrs. Thorne had any memory, even if Melody Thorne wasn’t her biological daughter, she wouldn’t treat her so poorly.

Nor would she publicly reveal Melody’s background to embarrass her.

Rochelle Thorne snorted, "You think I want the Thorne name? The Thorne Family never raised me. I might as well take my mom’s last name."

"Alright, both of you, stop arguing," Mrs. Thorne looked at Melody, who remained silent, feeling a kind of heartache as if she were her own daughter.

She’s sure that their mother-daughter relationship was good in the past.

"Miss Thorne, if you don’t mind, you can still call me mom. But you must understand, there is no real connection between us, right?" Mrs. Thorne spoke much more gently than before.

Melody Thorne said nothing.

"Mom, you guys are no longer connected. You’ve found your real daughter, so why have someone else call you mom? I think it would be better for her to change her surname directly. Didn’t they say the Thorne and Quinn families were to be joined in marriage? She shouldn’t have the Thorne name anymore."

Jared Quinn’s gaze turned increasingly cold, "The marriage contract between the Thorne and Quinn families has already been fulfilled. Melody Thorne is my wife. Since there’s nothing else, we’ll be heading back." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Sister, brother-in-law," Finn Thorne called after their retreating figures.

But Jared Quinn had already left the room with Melody Thorne.

"Mom, what do they mean? Didn’t they say there was a marriage contract between the Thorne and Quinn families? I heard the Quinn Family can control everything here, and that man everyone dreams of, how could he marry her?" Rochelle Thorne grumbled unhappily.

She had hoped to find a wealthy man, but once one appeared, he married someone else.

"Gold digger, I can’t believe you tricked my mom into believing you’re the Thorne family’s daughter," Finn Thorne’s face was grim and unsightly.

"You..."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing," Mrs. Thorne watched the girl Jared Quinn had protected without a word, feeling perhaps she had been too harsh.

Maybe their mother-daughter relationship was really good in the past?

In the car.

Melody Thorne leaned against the seat, eyes downcast, feeling like a defeated phoenix with nothing left...

"Melody Thorne," Jared Quinn’s long fingers gripped the steering wheel. In his peripheral vision, he saw her somewhat dejected appearance and deliberately said, "You have nothing now, only me as your husband. Hold on tight, and maybe I’ll stay with you."

Melody Thorne looked up, knowing he was doing it on purpose, but somehow these words made her feel better than any comforting ones.
