Chapter 371


    Josiah was not wearing pants! He was not wearing any pants!


    “Ahh!” Godd*mn!


    Josiah kept shrieking as he frantically pulled a piece of clothing from the side to cover himself.


    The girl was terrified, shaking as she crouched on the floor with her hands wrapped around her


    head.


    At the same time, someone knocked on the dressing room door.


    Josiah stopped screaming abruptly and was still in shock when he heard someone asking, “Is there


    anyone in there? Can I enter?”


    It was a man’s voice.


    Josiah was a little befuddled. He was going to open the door when something grabbed his ankle.


    Looking down, the girl crawled in front of him, grabbing his foot. Her eyes were misty.


    “No…” she pleaded. “Don’t open the door. Don’t say that I’m here…”


    “What?” Josiah was lost. “What’s happening?”


    “Please!”


    The knocks grew louder.


    Josiah did not have much time to think. The moment the person outside kicked the door open, he


    grabbed the clothes he covered himself with and pressed the girl on the floor. His hank was on her


    back, separating her from the cool floor. His well-built body covered her petite self up just nicely.


    The few men who barged in were baffled by the scene.


    “What?” Josiah turned and looked at them in annoyance. “Where are you from!? On a suicide


    mission?”


    Those men were the Tanners'' servants and could recognize Josiah. Their hearts lurched. “M-Mr.


    Bayer…”


    “Get the h*ll out of here! Can’t you see I’m in the middle of something!?”


    “Y-Yes…”


    The men left nervously and did not forget to close the door properly.


    When their footsteps faded, Josiah propped himself up and pulled the girl up carefully.


    “Are you okay?”


    The girl coughed and did not even have the strength to speak.


    “You don’t look good…” Josiah frowned. “I’d better take you to the hospital!”


    “No need…” It took the girl some time to say, “It’s an old illness. I know what’s up.”


    What followed the words was a genuine smile.


    Josiah was stunned for some time before he remembered to ask, “Who are you? Why are those


    guys after you?”


    “I…” she thought and said softly, “I’m someone who steals time from the grim reaper. Those people


    are the grim reaper’s aplices who want to catch me back.”N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “What do you mean? I don’t understand.” Josiah scratched his head.


    From his angle, the girl’s petite shoulders, and fragile and pretty face, all stirred his urge to protect


    her.


    “I’m Josiah Bayer,” he told her softly. “Did you get into trouble? Do you need me to send you


    home?”


    “I don’t want to go home.” She looked at him. “If it’s possible, can you take me to the front for a


    walk?”


    “The porch?”


    “Mm, a walk anywhere without anyone.” She smiled. “I can’t go far with my body, anyway. I just want


    to walk around and breathe the outside air.”


    It was Josiah’s first time meeting someone so strange. Since the auction was boring, he might as


    well apany the pretty girl for a walk under the starry sky.


    “Mm, of course!” He smiled. “But before I walk with you, I’d have to know your name?”


    After a long pause, the girl bit her lips and said, “Kelly.”


    “Kelly what?”


    “Kelly.” She smiled at him. “Just call me Kelly.”
