Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 207 At Flirty , Josiah had found it odd , Joyce frequently mentioned her mom , but she never talked about her dad .

Today , Joyce asked him a strange question , Joyer … Josiah began , intending to dig a little deeper .

Joyce ! A sudden , thunderous shout cut him off .

Itwas Tra Tara had been keeping a watchful eye on Joyce nearby , unwilling to let her out of sight for even a moment .

So , when she saw a strange man talking to Joyce, she panicked .

Hey ! Tara ran over , breathless .

She scooped Joyce up in her arms and glared at Josiah like he was some kind of dangerous predator .

Who are you ? What were you saying to Joyce ? Are you crazy ? she barked , not giving Josiah a chance to explain .

Then , clutching Joyce tightly , she turned on her heel and walked away , or more accurately , fled , as if Josiah were some kind of monster .

As she hurried off .

Tara comforted Joyce .

Dont worry , Joyce .

Im here Remember , you cant talk to strangers , okay ? Good thing I got there in time .

She sighed heavily and added , Tm not worried about losing my job , but if you were taken away , your mom would be devastated … Taras voice cracked , and tears threatened to spill from her eyes .

Youre your moms whole world .

You know that ? Dont be sad , Tara Joyce lifted her chubby little hand to wipe Thras tears .

Her soft voice was full of concern .

Tara , dont cry .

That sir isnt a bad person .

Ive seen him before You Tara frowned skeptically .

Where did you see him ? Whats his name ? Joyce opened her mouth , but no words came out .

She couldnt answer .

Oh , your Tara shook her head , convinced that Joyce was mistaken .

Youre too little , so you mustve gotten mixed up .

Never mind .

From now on .

Tll keep an even closer eye on you Meanwhile , Josiah was still standing where Tara had left him , utterly dumbfounded .

Did she seriously just mistake me for a kidnapper he thought , feeling both helpless and exasperated .
