As a man, especially in front of the woman he cared about, how could he possibly swallow that insult?
I saw him snatch a beer bottle from the table. With a vicious look on his face, he started walking toward me.
I was about to move the cheerful girl behind me. After all, this was between Darian and me. She was innocent and I didn’t want her to get hurt by accident.
But before I could do anything, the cheerful girl suddenly stepped forward and blocked me with her body.
"Hey! What do you think you’re doing? If you dare to hit my boyfriend, I’ll call a bunch of my buddies to deal with you!"
I stared blankly at the girl standing protectively in front of me. After all, when I said I’d be her boyfriend...
There was some spite to it.
But I didn’t expect her to be so brave. She showed no fear facing danger. Wasn’t that a lot better than Seraphine, who made me look like a clown?
Darian stopped.
He stared at me with cold eyes and gritted his teeth, "Cade, if you’re a man then step out and fight me one-on-one. What kind of man hides behind a little girl?"
I moved my mouth to say something.
