"You weren't friends with her from the start. But she made up stories, tried to steal your husband, and even stalked you when we were at the resort. Judging by her character, I don't think she'd be grateful that you freed her, I'm sure she'd do worse to you.""I don't think that would happen.""You can't be too sure," replied Josiah."But because of this, you're asking her to spend eight to ten years of her life in jail. Isn't it a bit too cruel?" Seeing how Josiah was not willing to take a step back, Meredith was rather taken aback.She did not expect to see this cruel and ruthless side of Josiah who only showered her with love.And this was also the first time she felt slightly intimidated by him.Noticing the look of terror in her eyes, Josiah could not help but be reminded of the days before she lost her memories. It was as if every time they met, she had this same look on her face.Back then, Meredith too was intimidated and frightened by him.Could it be that he was being
Josiah who was standing behind them cleared his throat.Caden immediately turned to look at him and said, "Thank you to Uncle Josiah too."Josiah teased, "Are you not calling me weird uncle anymore?"Caden shook his head and started chuckling.The little guy had one hand in Meredith's and the other in Josiah's. Looking at the both of them, he then exclaimed excitedly, "Yay! Let's go, let's go!"Meredith exchanged a glance with Josiah and said, "Caden looks much happier now than when he first came to us.""This just shows that Caden is quick in adapting himself to a new environment. There is really no need for you to be worried about him when he moves in with his new family.""Mm." Meredith was finally relieved.Jehovah City had recently launched a large-scale project on building a funfair. Not only was it Caden's first visit to the fun fair, but it was also Josiah's and Meredith's.Since young, Josiah had been receiving harsh training so he would become the future leader of Sh
Meredith got onto the merry-go-round ride with Caden.Before getting onto the ride, Meredith asked Josiah to take pictures of her and Caden.Josiah did not bring his camera, so he could only take pictures with his phone.There were a lot of parents and their kids who were gathered around the merry-go-round. Josiah hated being close to strangers, so he tried to move backward and ended up accidentally bumping into someone.The person reacted in a hostile manner. "Are you blind? Can't you see that there are people behind you?"Josiah was slightly stunned. He turned and looked at the person, "I'm sorry but I'm not blind.""Then why did you bump into me…" The person suddenly stopped talking, as if he could not find his words.Josiah simply ignored him. He could not care less as to why the person was looking at him as if he had just seen a ghost.When the man came back to his senses, he quickly ran over to Josiah, bowed, and apologized, "I am so…sorry Sir, I…I didn't know that it was
Meredith also walked out with Caden in her hands with a wide grin hanging on her face. "Joe, where shall we head next?"Smiling, Josiah pulled Meredith and Caden closer to him and responded, "Let's get something to drink first.""Okay, I want some iced tea." Meredith then looked at Caden and asked, "What would you like, Caden?""I also want some iced tea.""Okay, but promise me that you won't make a fuss when you can't sleep at night." Because the place was crowded, Josiah carried Caden in his arms and walked out of the crowd."Mister Josiah, Mrs. Shelby…" The man from earlier followed them and bowed at them. "I really didn't mean what I said earlier, can you not fire me from my position? Sir, you know how hard I work and how well I treat my colleagues. Plus, I have to raise two kids and if I lose this job…""Please excuse me." Josiah interrupted him and noticed the man's wife who was making her way in difficulty toward their direction with both children in her hands. "Mister, if
Josiah put down two cups of iced tea in front of Meredith and Caden, then said to Caden, "Don't drink too much or you won't be able to sleep tonight."Caden had never drank iced tea before. After taking a sip, he asked, "Uncle Josiah, why would this thing make you not sleep well?""Because there's caffeine in them.""Then what happens when I can't sleep?""When that happens," Josiah flashed a grin at Meredith and said, "one would start making a fuss and everyone else won't be able to sleep too."Meredith was reminded of the time when she could not sleep because of iced tea as well. Pulling into a smile, she said, "Don't worry, Joe. I promise that it won't happen again this time.""Me too." Caden nodded his head solemnly and continued drinking."How is it, Caden? Does it taste good?" asked Meredith."Yes, it's really good," Caden nodded and said happily, "thank you for buying me iced tea, I am really happy.""Look at Caden with his sweet-talking," Meredith patted his head and a
"Of course it's a good thing," Walter nodded his head frantically and added, "the old you would never have come to places like this. You've been living a dull and boring life, like a robot that only knows how to earn money. But after Ma'am lost her memories, you've changed."Josiah looked at Meredith who had fallen asleep in his arms.Was it that obvious?…Quinley waited for quite a few days but Josiah still had not freed Maeve. But instead, she received a message from Maeve threatening her that she would meet up with Josiah if she would not help save her.Quinley was anxious and terrified but she could not seem to get hold of Meredith. She did not even know if Meredith actually talked to Josiah about Maeve.After some consideration, Quinley decided to visit the kindergarten again.Only this time, before she could even step foot into the kindergarten, she received a call from Josiah.At the sound of his voice, Quinley was first excited but she got nervous at the end.She wond
"I understand," Quinley added urgently, "I've always kept what you said in mind, to not go near Meredith and bring up the past. If it wasn't to help Maeve, I wouldn't have gone near Meredith."Mister Josiah, please believe me and forgive me this time."Josiah did not want to listen to her anymore and ended the call abruptly.Quinley called out for him but she could no longer hear Josiah at the end of the other call.She was worried that Josiah would treat her like how he treated Maeve.Quinley stayed in the car for a moment before getting the car started.She went to visit Maeve hoping to calm her down before coming up with a new solution.But seeing how Quinley looked defeated and worried, Maeve guessed that there was no hope for her. She seethed furiously, "Since there's nothing that you could do, why do you even bother to show up here?"Quinley put on a smile and tried to comfort her, "Maeve, I know that it's hard for you to be alone in there and that is why I'm here to see
Strictly speaking, Quinley and Ysabelle were not considered as good friends but they knew each other. After all, Quinley was one of the girls that followed Meredith around and they looked down on Ysabelle for being the mistress' child.Ysabelle found it strange that Quinley was actually visiting her."I heard from Maeve that she saw you in here and I realized that you've been locked up for quite some time. So how are you? Is everything okay there?""Do I look like I'm doing great?""No, not really," With a look of sympathy on her face, Quinley added, "I heard that most people could not stand living there for more than a couple of days. Most of them would rather take their own life than spend their days there."Ysabelle stayed silent. Quinley then went on, "I met with Maeve yesterday and I noticed that she's having suicidal intentions. I'm worried that one of these days, she might just decide to end her own life."Ysabelle replied, "I don't think so. She seemed quite confident tha
