A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 250

Jeremy simply stared at Melody.

In truth, the feeling of not getting a clear answer was starting to frustrate him. He had thought that Melody was a bit slow, but he'd never imagined that she would be this irritatingly clueless.

But Melody truly couldn't figure out what else Jeremy wanted to hear. She had apologized for what she needed to, and she had thanked him as well. What else could she say?

In the end, she could only look around at the warm-toned décor and quietly say, "If you don't like the decoration, I can call a cleaning service to come take care of it. Or I can clean it up for you now."

Jeremy's breathing had become heavier. He raised his hand to undo the cufflinks on his sleeves, then loosened a few more buttons on his shirt, exposing a large area of his chest.

He lowered his gaze and began walking toward Melody without saying a word.

Melody sensed the pressure coming from him.

She couldn't control her nervousness and instinctively took a step back. She looked up at him, trying to read what little emotion he had on his face. But unfortunately, she couldn't figure anything out.

All she could feel was danger.

This invasive feeling was something she rarely felt when she was Jeremy. It was almost like the wildness in his core had been triggered—he was trying to mark his territory.

In the span of just a few steps, Jeremy had leaned in close.

Melody turned around and prepared to leave. Her heart was racing.

But after taking just two steps, Jeremy grabbed her wrist. Before Melody could even react, he had yanked her back toward him.

Melody instinctively tried to push him away, her hands pressing against his exposed chest. But the warm touch of his skin made her fingertips burn.

Her usually clear eyes were now like a disturbed lake, frantically rippling in confusion. She turned her face away, not daring to meet Jeremy's gaze.

However, he grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
