her,
Jeremy’s voice was low and rough as he said, “Get out.”
Chapter 59
Melody was panicking on the inside as she tightly clutched the towel around herself.
Jeremy had always hated it when she touched his things
She scrambled for the right words to explain herself but didn’t notice that his gaze on her was no longer as cold as usual, and his breathing had deepened
remy had had the day off today, but Caleb suddenly called, saying there was a special case that needed his attention
After wrapping things up at the hospital, he’d come home out of habit, intending to wash his lands. However, he hadn’t expected to open the door and see that
The faint sweetness of milk lingered at the tip of his nose as his Adam’s apple bobbed involuntarily, and his fingers unconsciously curled,
His eyes drifted downward, landing on Melody’s shivering shoulders and delicate collarbones.
The image from just moments ago flashed in his mind once more,
His memory was sharp, and he could recall every detail with precision
He suddenly thought of the anatomical diagrams they had studied in textbooks
That those were lifeless and dull.
Melody didn’t hear anything from Jeremy and assumed he had to be furious. Hence, she grew even more nervous.
“I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to. You can have maintenance check it. My water heater isn’t working. And then the power just went out too.” Her used voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
Jeremy briefly closed his eyes before opening them again and gathering himself.
His voice, though, had lost its usual sharpness. “I got it.”
He then med to leave, but Melody followed right behind him, hurrying to get back to her room
So, that milly scent trailed after him.
Jeremy had never thought that the walk from the bathroom to the living room was this long before this, but now, it felt endless.
A strange heat flared in his chest, but he forced it down. And yet, just as they turned the comer into the hallway, a sudden and strong waft of fragrance pept through
Melody’s damp hair brushed against Jeremy’s ann. The cool moisture seeped through his sleeve and pressed against his skin.
It should have felt cold, but instead, it bumed like a tiny spark, scratching at the inside of his chest. Then, it moved and scratched at the palm of his hand. Melody grabbed his sleeve, her small fingers accidentally grazing his palm. She nervously looked up at him. “Jeremy, can you help me close the curtains?= Melody had brought her clothes with her. If she had changed in the bathroom, It wouldn’t have been an issue, but she hadn’t expected him to come back so suddenly.
In her para to keep him from getting even angrier, she had followed him out without thinking.
Now, standing in from of the mussive floor–to–ceiling windows, the embarrassmentit her all at once.
Melody braced herself for his anger.
But Jeremy merely glanced at her and let out a quiet bum. Then, he walked over and shut the curtains.
Melody let out a breath of tehet and was about to thank him, but before she could, he turned back
He then stood right in front of her with his dark eyes locked onto hers, studying her as if he was analyzing something
Her heart skipped a beat. “W–What is it?
Jeremy’s gaze lowered slightly, and before she could react, he leaned in…
He stopped at her shoulders.
Theven of ik grew stronger.
He asked, “Do you still remember what we teamed about human anatomy and physiology?” is breath brushed against Melody’s bare skin, sending a sloven through her.
