The Man’s Decree

“Josephine, I’m just here to visit Mr. Sullivan. I heard that he’s sick. I even brought a thousand-year-old ginseng root as a gift. It took me a lot of effort to obtain it from the City of Herbs!”

As Frederick spoke, he reached out to grab Josephine’s hand.

Shocked, she staggered a few steps back, but he did not seem willing to give up.

Jared lost his temper upon witnessing that scene and snarled, “How dare you make advances to a lady in broad daylight! Do you even have manners?”

“Jared!” Josephine was delighted to see him and immediately ran over to him.

A trace of hostility flashed across Frederick’s gaze when he noticed her reaction to Jared’s appearance. “Who are you? Do you know who I am?”

“I don’t care who you are. I will beat up whoever touches my wife…” Jared growled, intending to charge forward and land two kicks on Frederick but was stopped by Josephine.

Holding his arm, she said, “Calm down. He didn’t manage to touch me!”

Nevertheless, she was touched by his words and found herself falling for him further.
