"Fiona, after all these years, you're still just as useless as before. You couldn’t even protect your own mother back then and now you can’t protect yourself either. You’re a joke!”
Apparently, she knew what had happened back then, huh?
Rage flared in my chest and I couldn’t hold back any longer. I slapped her across the face. Though the slap I gave her was not too hard, she fell straight into the fire.
I was so surprised and froze in place. Before I could do anything, a figure rushed from behind me, shoved me to the ground and took Taylor into his arms.
Matt's eyes blazed with anger as he looked at me. He scolded, "What the hell are you doing, Fiona? Are you crazy? Taylor came here out of goodwill to check on you and clear up the misunderstandings from back then. What gives you the right to hit her?”
His eyes reddened with anger and they devoid any affection for me when directed at me.
I curled my lips into a cold smile and said evenly, "She brought up my mother, Matt. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation for what happened back then?”
