Stepping out from the shadows, Matthew Taylor looked coldly at Damien Sterling and said, "Make sure you protect her. If you can't, then don't stand in the way of her finding happiness elsewhere. And your grandfather—he better not do anything to hurt her."
Damien Sterling frowned slightly at Matthew Taylor. He hadn't even gone looking for him yet, but here he was, presenting himself. Given the situation today, he'd deal with him later.
Ignoring Matthew's words, Damien cradled Emma Hart in his arms and started to walk away.
Matthew Taylor wasn't going to let Damien Sterling off that easily. He stepped forward, pressing Damien to give him an answer. Damien laughed derisively, "What right do you have to make demands of me?"
Matthew was momentarily speechless, pointing a finger at Damien. "You…"
Damien's face darkened. "I despise people pointing their fingers at me."
