Chapter 63
“It’s Josiah Shelby…” Meredith was stammering, saying his name, But Zade did not listen to her and got out of the car together with her. Meredith turned around to face him and bellowed, “Zade Brooks! Did you not hear what I say? What are you doing out here?”
Standing right next to her, Zade placed his arm around her shoulders and said, “Merelyn, what would that make of me if I were to leave you here all alone? Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I will protect you with all my life.” He then turned around to face the car and shouted, “You, Shelby, come at me if you have grudges! And you call yourself a gentleman when you won’t stop harassing a lady?” Though Meredith was touched, she felt more worried for Zade. Zade was clueless as to how Josiah was. The more Zade tried protecting Meredith, the more Josiah would get angry in the end…this would do no good to any of them. Indeed, the man in the car spoke.
“Such a brave man you are, Mister Zade.”
His remarks sent shivers down Zade’s spine.
Meredith knew Josiah like the back of her hands. She knew right away that Josiah was simmering with anger.
She pushed Zade away and shouted, “Don’t accuse me of doing things that I did not, Zade Brooks! You’re simply here because I hired you as my driver. There is nothing going on between us and I don’t need your protection!”
