Chapter 5-Trust Issues

"Baby," I begin.

Is he serious!? Run a check on someone that Freddie has every confidence in.

"Are you kidding me right now?!" Freddie blurts out. "I've given you everything! You two are my only family. All I want is your blessing, and you sit there and act like you're-"

Ryder looks at Freddie with a surprised look. "I'm protecting you, Fred. Like I said I would. Take it how you want. You and Sam tend to go for the unhinged, so I must protect you both. That's the most important job I have."

I am taken aback. My mouth opens so wide that Ryder can fit his whole foot.

"How dare you?!" I spit. "You act like I knew Max was crazy! If I did, I wouldn't have married him!"

I am so relieved we are in our own private room. If not, other people would've turned around at my outburst. How can Ryder be so hurtful? Especially to me!
