"Because that little brain of yours is still all fogged up.""But I am thinking clearly.""If you are, then there is only one reason why you're pushing your husband to another woman.""What's the reason?" She asked."Because you don't like me, and you don't want to be with me," Josiah responded as he felt a tinge of disappointment.Perhaps he had gotten used to the feeling of being needed by her, having her around, loving him.Hence when he knew that she was giving him away to another woman, he felt uncomfortable. It was as if he was no longer important to her anymore.And he did not like feeling this way."Edith, do you like me?" He asked, solemnly.Meredith nodded. "I do.""Are you happy? Staying with me?""I am.""Then why are you pushing me to another person?""Because…""Because I like Yena?"Meredith nodded.Josiah smiled and corrected her, "Edith, I want you to remember this. The person that I like is you.""But that's not the truth, is it?" Meredith did not bel
"Is it like what they say online? Did she leave us for good?" Meredith's eyes turned red gradually as tears welled up in her eyes.Even though she had lost her memories, Meredith could not seem to forget about Nia.Her love for Nia was buried deep in her subconsciousness.Josiah stayed silent for a while before finally comforting her, "No, she's simply sick and she will get better soon.""Really?" Meredith sniffled and grabbed his hands in hers. "Our daughter is just sick and she's still alive? Then can I see her at the hospital?"Joe, let me see her, will you? I want to see her, take care of her, and stay by her side!""She's too far for you to reach her.""How far is it?""Really, really far. Somewhere that you won't be able to reach."The expectant look on Meredith's face froze as she said angrily, "This is yet another white lie of yours, is it?""Edith…""Forget it! I don't want to hear it anymore!" Meredith got up onto her feet and seethed furiously, "I don't need you t
"Yeah," Meredith nodded and went on, "I heard that Miss Yena ended up like that because of me. So I wanted to see her.""It's not like that, ma'am. You shouldn't take what they say online seriously."Saying nothing further, Meredith simply smiled bitterly."Lily, why is Joe so nice to me?" She asked suddenly.Even though Josiah insisted that Yena was not his first love and the one that he loved was her, Meredith knew that there was more to it.If he had no feelings for Yena, he would not have taken such good care of her, and neither would he go visit her at the hospital.She tried to make sense of the situation but she was still confused.Why would he be so nice to a mentally unstable and disfigured woman like herself?At that moment, Lily did not know what to say.She too did not know what made Josiah change so abruptly. Josiah now adored Meredith to his bones.Lily guessed that it might be because of Nia."Ma'am, it's because you're his wife. Sir would of course be nice to
"I agree with her on this," Liam added, "Miss Meredith would especially need close friends like me to be around."He then passed another glass to Josiah. "So? Should I drop by and pay her a visit?""Forget it. I have no plans on introducing you to her again.""Why? I really want to meet her," Liam whined, "you're not that narrow-minded now, are you? I mean, I used to help her out, don't you remember? She…""Shut up!" Josiah cut him off annoyedly, stood up from the couch, and said, "I'm leaving now. Enjoy your night.""You heartless bastard," Liam threw an empty beer can at him and said, "guess what, the more you don't want me to meet her, the more I want to go see her…"Before he could even finish his sentence, Josiah was already long gone.Quinley smiled at Liam, got onto her feet, and followed Josiah.She found Josiah in the parking lot. "Mister Josiah, are you leaving now?""Yeah. What's up?" Josiah asked."Oh, it's nothing. I thought of asking when it'll be more convenien
"While you're at it, please get me a bottle of water too.""Sure." Walter then got down from the car.Quinley exhaled in relief. She turned to Josiah and said softly, "Mister Josiah, I think you're a bit drunk. You can take some aspirin.""It's fine, thanks.""Look at you, you're even sweating." Quinley leaned forward to him and placed her hand on his forehead.She then leaned herself into his arms.Josiah finally opened his eyes. With his brows furrowed together, he asked, "Miss Quinley?""Ah, I am so sorry. I'm just a little drunk." Quinley apologized as she straightened up her back but quickly dropped back into his arms.And she stayed in that position with no plans of getting back up.Even though Josiah was a little drunk, he could still guess what Quinley was up to.Calmly, he removed her hands on his chest and said, "Miss Quinley, I can see that you're really drunk.""Yes, I must be drunk," Quinley looked at him dazedly and went on, "and you look so good today. I reall
"You…""Miss Quinley, it doesn't matter if you were really drunk or you were faking it, but I am deeply disappointed by your performance tonight. It's neither interesting nor exciting, it's just boring.""Mister Josiah, I…""Miss Quinley," Josiah cut her off and said bluntly, "I need to correct you on one thing. Even if Meredith's face is scarred, and even if she's mentally unstable, she is still a hundred times better than you."Quinley did not expect that she would be humiliated for offering herself to him.She knew how she would end up if she did what Maeve did back then - insisting on him to leave Meredith and claiming to be much better than Meredith.Hence she tampered down on her urge to defend herself.For the sake of not provoking Josiah further, Quinley decided to continue pretending to be drunk.Sitting on the ground, she held onto the car door and nodded her head frantically. "You're absolutely right, Mister Josiah…no matter how Meredith turns out to be, she is still
He walked into the bedroom to see Meredith who was scrolling on the internet using a tablet.He caught a glimpse of the keyword in the search bar and he realized that Meredith was trying to gather information about her past."You're home, Joe," Meredith pressed the tablet against her chest, looked at him and asked, "were you drinking? You reek of alcohol.""Mm, just a little."Josiah sat down on the couch, lifted Meredith onto his lap, took the tablet from her hands, put it aside, and started kissing her."Did you miss me?" He asked.Meredith felt confused again. His movements were so natural as if they were a happily married couple.Meredith wondered if Josiah's love for her was real.But at the thought of Yena who was laying in the hospital bed, Meredith shook away her thoughts."Joe, there's a strong perfume smell on you," Meredith said, leaning into his arms.Josiah kissed the top of her head and said, "I was seduced by a witch in the car earlier. That's how I got the per
"You really think so? Seems like you still like me?" Meredith, before she lost her memories, had lost all of her feelings for him.Not only did she resent him, she even nearly tried to kill him."Of course," Meredith nodded, "who wouldn't like a good man like you? Now I know why the witch wants to snatch you away from me.""So you do remember what happened last night.""Of course." Meredith nodded."Was that why you were giving your best last night?" Josiah chuckled.Meredith smiled embarrassedly, "Well who do you think is better? Me or that witch?""Hmm…I'm not sure."Meredith pursed her lips. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with the answer."Have you forgotten what I said last night? I left that woman by the roadside. There is no way that I'd compare you to her.""Oh," Meredith pulled into a wide grin and went on, "so you like me and not that lady?""Of course," Josiah pressed his lips against hers and added, "let's get ready and have breakfast together?""Okay,
