Ysabelle's hands curled into a fist when Quinley provoked her sore spot.Of course, she felt resentful.She would have dragged Meredith to hell with her if she had the chance. There was no way that she would let Meredith off the hook that easily.She looked up at Quinley and replied, "I understand. But I hope you'll keep your end of the bargain.""Don't worry, I will."Quinley got into her car after seeing Ysabelle off. She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh in her car.For the sake of keeping Maeve's mouth shut, Quinley could only choose to walk the dangerous path.Meredith woke up a little later than usual and by the time she went downstairs, Josiah and Caden were already having breakfast.She walked over and asked, "Joe, Caden, why didn't you wake me up to join you guys for breakfast?"Caden looked up at Meredith and replied, "Miss Meredith, Uncle Josiah said that you were too tired last night and that you should sleep in longer."Meredith's face crumbled as she stare
It all made sense when Josiah explained that because Meredith wanted to go.Meredith understood what Yoseph was implying so she said to Josiah, "Joe, why not head straight to work? I can attend the appointment with Caden.""It's alright. You need someone to oversee the situation in case anything happens.""Huh? Why though?" Meredith was confused.It was not like they were going to auction Caden off, Meredith wondered what could possibly happen.Yoseph explained to Meredith, "Ma'am, don't you think that the adoptive parents would treat Caden nicer if it was Sir who handed him over to them?"Meredith thought that Yoseph was right.Josiah's respectable reputation would affect how the adoptive parents treat Caden as the adoptive parents would dare not offend or get on the wrong side of Josiah."Alright then. Thank you for coming with us," Meredith chuckled.Yoseph set the appointment with Caden's adoptive parents at a coffee shop.By the time Meredith and Josiah arrived, the cou
She stood there blankly, watching Caden walk away.Josiah walked to her side and looked at her. "What's the matter? Suddenly, you can't bear to leave him?"Meredith twitched her nose and said, "Joe, I can't bear to leave Caden.""Didn't you just say that you can see him at school tomorrow?""I want to be with him every day."Being together with Caden every day, treating him like treasure every day, but treating her husband like he was invisible… Josiah did not want to live this kind of life at all.However, on the surface, he still comforted her, "If you miss him, you can pick him up as a guest at any time. Don't be sad, okay?""Joe, I want a child who calls me mommy, a child who I can be together with 24 hours a day."Josiah was startled for a while, then he nodded. "Don't worry, we will have children.""When?" she asked, staring at him."Well..." Josiah pondered for a while. "Half a year or a year? We will definitely have a child eventually.""How can it be possible in hal
There is no one to ask even if she wanted to ask about the truth.In the end, she said softly, "Yena, when will you wake up and tell me the truth? If you don't wake up, I really won't think about it anymore, and I won't ask about my past anymore."When Josiah asked her not to think or listen, she actually decided to do it.There was only this woman named Yena, and Meredith had always been brooding about her.After getting out of the hospital, Meredith received a call from Quinley.Quinley called her from an unfamiliar number, but Meredith heard her voice and said immediately, "I'm sorry Quinley, I have already asked Joe about Maeve, Joe he... ""Meredith." Quinley interrupted her and sighed helplessly, "Maeve is dead.""Ah?" Meredith was stunned for a moment. "Why did she suddenly die?""She probably couldn't stand the pain in prison, so she chose to commit suicide.""Maeve committed suicide?" Meredith was even more surprised.Based on what she knew about Maeve, she did not a
"Will you believe what I told you?" Josiah asked.Meredith thought for a while and shook her head.He did not want her to know about her past, so he would definitely make up a lie to deal with her."Well then, that's why." He shrugged helplessly."I want to hear it from others." Meredith stared at him seriously and said, "Joe, next time someone tells me about it, at least don't stop them, and don't treat them like Maeve, okay?""..." Josiah was speechless when he heard this.It seemed that she really wanted to pursue her past."Or when I ask others about this, don't stop me," she added."Edith, don't you want to continue these happy and peaceful days?""Of course I do, but I don't want you to be cruel to others every time to prevent me from knowing about my past." Meredith shook her head. "Joe, the Xander family and Maeve are not guilty of this."Josiah once told her that being kind to the enemy was to be cruel to yourself.However, she was just a commoner, so why did they h
The next day, Meredith did not even cook him breakfast.When Josiah went downstairs, seeing Lily busy in the kitchen, he asked suspiciously, "Where's Meredith?"Lily stared at him a little worriedly and said, "Sir, Mrs. Shelby seems to be in a bad mood, so she didn't even bother to make breakfast for you.""Where is she?""She's tending to the garden in the backyard." Lily pointed to the direction of the backyard.Josiah turned around and walked toward the back garden.From a distance, he could see Meredith crouching in the grass, waving a small shovel on the ground, and when he got closer, he realized that she was loosening the soil for rose flowers."Edith, why do you get up so early?" Josiah walked to her side and squatted down, pointing to the ground that had been dug loose. "The soil is already loose. If you dig any further, the flowers might die.""Don't worry about it!" Meredith shifted her body and turned her back to him.Josiah followed her to the other side. "I thoug
Listening to her words, Josiah could not help but feel a little anxious.After all, what he did to her before could also be said to be as serious as murder and arson.His determination in keeping her clueless became firmer."Joe, why aren't you talking?" Seeing his silence, Meredith asked suspiciously, "Have you ever done something like that?""Of course not." Josiah came back to his senses and said, "We have quarreled, separated, and have had misunderstandings before, so I'm worried that you would be angry with me or leave me like before when you find out."Edith, since you don't want to make breakfast for me, then come have breakfast with me." Josiah changed the subject."I don't want to!" Meredith turned around and ignored him.She felt like she was wasting her breath. She just did not want to tell her about the past.Josiah was helpless. "You need to have to eat breakfast eventually, right? I'll take you to work after eating, okay?""I don't need you to send me to work!" M
"Quinley, aren't you afraid of Josiah?" she asked."Of course I'm afraid, that's why I asked others to come forward and get you out. If he knows that I helped you, he will definitely get rid of me."Quinley sat down on the edge of the bed, grabbed her little hand, and said, "So please don't reveal our little secret, or no one will be able to guarantee your safety outside.""Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."Quinley warned her a few more times and prepared to leave.Ysabelle hurriedly grabbed her wrist and said, "Quinley, don't forget me.""No." Quinley patted her little hand. "You helped me so much, of course, I won't forget you. We'll contact you by phone."Ysabelle, who was still high-spirited a few months ago, turned sour-faced in a blink of an eye. She did not feel like she had the slightest sense of security.Quinley could not help but sigh, worried that she would become like this someday.After all, she had secretly offended Josiah.…"Ma'am, why do you always run to
