Chapter 340: Cold Horror
The car ride was entirely silent and Melody felt herself tense up all over again as they pulled up in front of the house. Why was he not saying anything? Did Melanie and him not talk when they were alone? As many thoughts gathered in her head again, the car stopped and the driver stepped out again and circled around to open her door.
She turned her head to look at him, but Adam was already out. Without a word, he walked past her side of the car, not sparing her a glance, heading straight toward the front steps of the house.
Melody blinked at his retreating figure, lips parting in disbelief. Was he really going to leave her like this? But then, her plan to find out about Melanie’s room and other things would go to waste!
She shifted slightly and the pain in her back hit again. Her voice came out breathless but sharp and louder than she intended.
"Adam!"
He paused.
"I can’t move," she said, with a touch of desperation. "Can you... help me to my room?" Unfortunately, though this had been her plan, at this moment, she really found herself unable to move.
For a second, he didn’t turn and she thought that he was really going to abandon her. Then, slowly, he glanced back at the driver, who was standing awkwardly nearby. And then, a second later, Adam walked back to the car and leaned down toward her.
Before she could say another word, his arms were around her.
She barely had time to react before he lifted her off the seat and into his arms. Just like she’d imagined. Her heart skipped, then fluttered wildly in her chest even though the position only made her back ache more. But it was enough. He was carrying her. Bridal style into his home.
