Still Loving You Nonetheless

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!”

After being pushed away by her, Zade was disappointed. “Merelyn, he’s just your ex-husband, why are you so afraid of him? Didn’t we agree to face all the challenges together and stay together forever?”

Gnawing on her lips, Meredith said, “It’s just a lie to have you drive me here. Don’t tell me that you actually believe what I said?”

“Merelyn…” Josiah burst into laughter as he shot a piercing cold glare at Meredith’s pale face. “Meredith Leighton, don’t you find this situation strangely familiar?”

“Three years ago you used exactly the same tactic to protect that loverboy of yours but he did not appreciate your help at all, tell me…” Josiah paused and added, ” do you think that this loverboy of yours would end up dead like that pathetic guy you cheated on me with? Oh, and what do you think about having that b*stard’s child accompany him?” Meredith froze as her mind went blank

Shortly after, she stammered, “What are you planning to do with my daughter?” “Mind guessing?” “Josiah Shelby! I swear that I’d stab you again if you dare to lay a finger on her!” Meredith charged toward the car and screamed at him through the car window. Now that she was near the car, Meredith finally had a good look at the man in the car. Underneath the night sky with the dimly lit street lights, Josiah looked the same – imposing, cold, and taunting. It did not matter that he was injured. He was still imposing and intimidating as usual. Meredith suddenly realized that Josiah would not even flinch when she stabbed him, let alone her threats. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Fighting or going against him was just useless. Feeling her legs go weak, she knelt in front of his car, cried as she begged, “Mister Josiah, Nia is terribly sick and I need a huge sum of money to treat her, hence I had no choice but to escape. Please would you be so kind to take mercy on Nia? She can’t afford to leave the hospital, if not her life would be in danger again, please…I’m begging you…” Zade knew that Josiah was ruthless and cruel but he had not witnessed with his own eyes how he hurt Meredith.

Upon seeing Meredith on her knees as she begged Josiah for mercy, anger gripped Zade as he grabbed a rock on the ground and charged toward Josiah. “Josiah Shelby, you are pushing this way too

far, I…I’ll fight you to death!”
