The moment he entered the hotel room, Josiah's cold face slowly relaxed, turning into the gentle face he had when he left the mansion.The way he fluently changed his expressions was as if he had never left the mansion, nor had he sent a woman who offended him to prison.When he heard terrifying soft yells from the bedroom, he quickly entered.Meredith was flailing her arms in bed. She muttered, "Don't go! Don’t go!"Clearly, she was having a nightmare again. When she just lost her memories, she would always have nightmares, but because of his reassurance and company, her nightmares lessened.Why would she suddenly have a nightmare again that night? Was it because he was not by her side on the bed, hugging her to sleep?"No, no!" Meredith's soft mutters turned to terrifying groans. Tears fell from the corner of her eyes."Edith, Edith, I'm here." Josiah held her flailing hands with one hand while touching her face with the other. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you here alone.
Josiah lowered his head and kissed Meredith on the forehead. "It's late. Let's continue sleeping.""Hmm." Meredith nodded.She closed her eyes for a while before suddenly opening them wide and asked, "By the way, is my bracelet done? I need to look for Yuna."Then, she was about to get up.Josiah pulled her back into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Don't worry. It's done. You can get it tomorrow."In fact, when Yuna went to the jewelry shop, it was already closed. She had to do it the next day, but to coax Meredith to sleep, Josiah had to come up with this white lie.Sure enough, Meredith obediently went to bed.The next day, when Meredith woke up, the bracelet was lying in perfect condition on the nightstand next to her bed.She delightedly took the bracelet to have a look. It was the one that was snapped the night before.She took the bracelet downstairs and said happily, "Joe, my bracelet is fixed. It's the same as the original one!"Josiah was preparing b
When Quinley received the news that Maeve was arrested, she was so furious she was at a loss for words.Even if she was not lacking money, six million dollars was a huge amount. How did that b*tch screw things up?Thankfully, she still had not paid her the remaining five million dollars, if not her loss would have been larger."What did you say? Maeve wants to see me?" She placed her cup down and said to the girl called Sunny, sitting opposite her. "How dare she still look for me?""Yes, I'm guessing she wants you to help bail her out.""Who does she think she is?" Quinley sneered."Yes. Does she still think that she is the heiress of Xander?"Sunny was one of their friends. Naturally, she would only be friends with whoever was doing well. Since Maeve lost all her wealth and powers, Sunny looked down upon her.She laughed and added, "But she said that if you don’t see her, you'll regret it.""What does she mean by that?"Sunny shook her head. "I don't know either. I heard it
"Quinley, you have to save me." Maeve softened her tone and started pleading with Quinley. "Quinley. You can't just leave me here and do nothing. It's because of you…that I fell for Josiah's trap. I…""Miss Xander!" Quinley interrupted her and quickly swept a glance at the staff nearby. She said, "What do you mean it was because of me? You were the one who had ill intentions toward Josiah. You even secretly followed him to the resort to make trouble."Maeve was stunned. Then, she nodded. "Yes, yes. It's all my fault. I was greedy and evil. I now know I was wrong. Can you help me, please?""I can't help you," Quinley said impatiently, "I already said that this is Josiah's case. He has already put out the word. Whoever dared to help you meant that they were going up against him. Miss Xander, take care. I'm leaving."Then, Quinley was about to leave. When Maeve realized that pleading would not work, she went the tough way."Miss Allison, since you're not willing to help me, I can onl
"If I enter, it's like going back to prison. I don't like being in prison," Meredith said.It was either painting, reading, or watching tv every day. It was boring.She would rather be by the beach being together with Joe all day long. Not only could she play in the sea, but she could also play with children."How is it like being in prison?""How is it not? I can't go out, I can't make friends, I can't do anything," Meredith grumbled."Who says you can't go out and make friends?" Josiah smiled. "I thought you wanted to go to work?""When?" At the mention of work, Meredith's eyes sparkled."Whenever you like."Meredith grabbed Josiah's hands in delight. "Joe, are you for real? I can really go to work whenever I like?""Hmm." Josiah nodded. "But you have to be good.""Okay, I will." Meredith asked excitedly, "Joe, what do you want me to do? I'll go do it now. I promise I'll be good.""I want you to go in, get hydrated, rest, then have a meal.""Okay. I'll go in now!" Meredit
Josiah coughed dryly and moved the phone's earpiece to the other side.The woman on the other end of the call was stunned. She asked curiously, "Mister Josiah, is there a woman by your side?""Hmm. My wife is messing around." Josiah pinched Meredith's waist as a punishment. His tone was still as calm as usual. "Mrs. Lyon, please continue. I'm listening. Hmm. Okay…"The phone call lasted about five minutes before Josiah hung up.Josiah pretended to glare at the woman in his arms.Meredith sheepishly burrowed herself deeper into his arms. She muttered softly, "I…just don't like you talking to other women."Josiah pried her face out from his arms. His expressions relaxed gradually. "Mrs. Shelby. I'm working. If I don't work, how am I going to earn for the family?""I know. I'll shut up in the future." She zipped her mouth.Josiah helplessly shook his head and kissed her on her lips. "But it's cute that you're jealous, Mrs. Shelby, so, I'll forgive you this time.""Really? You're
Meredith looked around the closet and picked a white dress. She put it on her and said, "Do you think I'll get the job if I wear this for the interview?""Yes." Josiah nodded.The money he had invested into the kindergarten was almost enough for him to acquire the kindergarten already. Meredith could even become the principal, let alone a piano teacher.Of course, he did not tell Meredith all this because he did not want to burden her with this information.If she wants to go to work, he would let her be a simple person who goes to work."Then, do you think this looks better or this one?" Meredith picked up another white dress to compare."They both look good." Josiah crossed his hands around his chest, leaning against the door of the closet, looking at her.Meredith pouted and said in dissatisfaction, "Joe, are you brushing me off?""No. I'm speaking the truth." Josiah walked over and said dotingly, "You look good in whatever you wear, Edith. I like them all.""It still feels
"A little." Meredith smiled, embarrassed."Hold on a little longer. We'll come again tomorrow.""Okay."Just when they were about to leave, Meredith realized a little boy squatting down by the corner of the field. The boy was in an extremely white set of clothes. He looked a little thin.He stared at the children playing in the field with two big eyes. They could see that he wanted to play with the other children, but due to some reason, he did not join them.Meredith got herself free from Josiah's grasp and walked over to the little boy. She bent down and asked him gently, "Hey, kid, why are you here alone? Don't you want to play with the other children?"The little boy shook his head and said nothing."What do you mean by shaking your head?" Meredith thought seriously. "Hmm. Let me guess. You shook your head, meaning you don't want to play with the other children?"The little boy nodded a little."Then, why don't you like playing with them?" Meredith asked once again."Beca
