"It's okay, it's not like it's a big detour." Josiah held her hands in his and said, "let's go now. I'm not going to let you go to work if you reject my offer again.""Aright, let's go then."Meredith smiled and got into the car with him.After dropping off Meredith at the kindergarten, the first thing that Josiah did when he reached his office was giving orders to Yoseph to find someone to keep an eye on Meredith so that no one would approach her or hurt her.This was the most that he could do since Meredith insisted on going to work.At the news that Meredith was pregnant, Yoseph was surprised and asked, "Sir, didn't you reject my idea the last time when I suggested getting Ma'am pregnant? What made you change your mind?"Yoseph knew that Josiah was worried that Meredith would distance herself from him if she regained her memories.Hence Yoseph made a suggestion to Josiah, asking him to get Meredith pregnant. After all, with the presence of a child between them, Meredith would
Now that she was reminded of the past again, Meredith felt as if a lot of time had passed without her even being aware.Sensing that Meredith was a bit off, the teacher quickly changed the topic. "Right, Miss Meredith, I can see that Caden has become a lot more cheerful than before. He is even playing with the other kids now. It's all thanks to you and Mister Josiah."At the mention of Caden, Meredith's mood suddenly got better.Pulling into a smile, she said, "Because Caden's new parents love him very much.""I guess it's true when they say a child grows up better and more cheerful when they receive a lot of love.""Indeed."Meredith subconsciously placed her hand on her belly. Inwardly, she made a promise to herself that she would shower her baby with a lot of love so that her child could grow up happily.Hence, she decided that it did not matter that Josiah and Yena were childhood sweethearts.What was important was that Josiah loved her and their child.Yoseph had made a r
"Yes, I'm sure. I like whatever you like.""Why don't we buy everything here?""No, we won't be able to keep everything at home.""Are you sure about that?" His mansion was over a thousand acres."I mean, I'm sure it'd fit, but outfits get out of season very quickly.""You're right," Josiah nodded and said, "alright then, we'll get new ones for each season.""Okay.""I'll go ahead and choose them."Josiah picked out six to seven outfits according to his preference and taste.The shopkeeper was stunned. "Sir and Ma'am, are you sure that you don't want to try the clothes first?""My wife is pregnant, I don't want her to go through the hassle."Josiah was pretty confident that he got Meredith's sizes correct. And even if they happen to be unfit, Josiah thought that he could always get rid of them and get new ones."Let me go try them on." Meredith was baffled that Josiah would actually buy clothes without trying them on."Trust me, hmm?" Josiah wrapped his arms around her wai
Meredith did think of getting the hat earlier but she was worried that he would think that she was spending money on useless stuff.Hence she chose to get the shoes instead."It's written all over your face.""Really?" Meredith blinked her eyes and wondered if it was that obvious."Mmhmm." Josiah then pointed at the items on the shelves and said, "Buy whatever it is that you want, I won't judge or say anything."With his words, Meredith stood on her toes and kissed him on his cheeks. "You're the best, Joe."She then turned around and started choosing things that she had laid her eyes on.They were supposed to get maternity clothes but in the end, they got several bags full of baby products.When they arrived at the mansion, Lily was stunned."Sir, Ma'am, these …""It's alright as long as she's happy," Josiah said as his eyes were fixed on Meredith who was happily going through the stuff that she had bought.Lily simply nodded.Meredith pulled Lily to sit next to her on the
After a round of passionate and steamy kisses, Josiah's voice turned hoarse as he whispered, "I'll let you go this time since you're pregnant."Meredith noticed how Josiah was not satisfied and that he wanted more. Confused, she asked, "Joe, why are you torturing yourself when you know that I'm pregnant? Isn't it hard for you?""It is.""What do we do then?""Why not help me instead?""I don't want to always let you have your way," Meredith clicked her tongue, looked away, and said, "what if you want more than just kissing every night? I'll probably die of exhaustion then.""You're right, I shouldn't overwork a pregnant lady." Josiah nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll control myself.""Thank you, my love," She then kissed him on his cheeks and said, "have a goodnight."Josiah was silent.For some reason, he felt even unbearable after being comforted by her.…It was the weekend and Meredith had woken up early.She thought of making breakfast for Josiah as it had been a whi
Josiah found her response rather funny. "Since when did you care about my work?""Because we're going to have a kid soon.""So you're trying to say that I should work hard and earn money to raise our child.""You're the father of my child, of course, you'd have to earn money to raise the child.""Mm…you're right.""So, you don't have to be worried about me," Meredith leaned into his arms again and said, "and go work hard.""Mrs.Shelby, it's a weekend today," Josiah chuckled."Oh, is it?" Meredith straightened her back."Don't you know when you have to go to work?""I thought we have to go to work today," Meredith scratched the back of her head and said, "How silly of me. It is no wonder people say that one would get dumber after losing their memories.""It's alright. I like you this way, adorable."He then walked into the house with her.Lily had already finished preparing breakfast.Josiah put another omelet onto Meredith's plate and said, "Have more eggs, it's good for y
"At least that's what I think. You should see to it yourself." Quinley took out the food for Ysabelle and said, "Didn't you say that you're hungry? Hurry up and eat."Ysabelle took a bite of the food but she could not seem to taste the food in her mouth."I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything.""Hold on," Ysabelle grabbed Quinley by her hand and said, "Quinley, when can you arrange for me to receive treatment at my place? I really don't want to stay here anymore.""Don't worry, I'm looking into it." Quinley then added, "But I have to remind you that you should not think of going to the ob-gyn department to see Josiah or Meredith. Stay low if you don't want all of your efforts to go to waste.""Mm…"Ysabelle replied half-heartedly.Quinley was not sure if Ysabelle took her advice seriously but she could not care less anymore.Because Quinley was simply scaring her.…Meredith went through a checkup for her pregnancy.The doctor and nurses were extra careful as Meredit
Both of them left the resting area and walked toward the lift.Watching as the lovebirds walked away, Ysabelle let out a long sigh and she slowly unclenched her fists.In the end, she could not find the courage to stand in front of them, and nor did she have the courage to ask for their forgiveness.She was worried that Josiah would be provoked if she shattered the peacefulness that they had.After all, Josiah was completely into Meredith…At the breakfast table, Meredith pushed away the glass that Josiah had filled milk with and said, "Joe, stop adding milk for me, I can't drink it anymore.""But you only had half a cup, didn't you?""Because I already ate a lot, and if I eat more, I might get fat.""What's wrong with being fat?" He chuckled."It's not good," Meredith shook her head and explained, "the books said that the baby only needs just enough nutrients, the mother shouldn't just stuff herself with all sorts of food. If not, it would be hard for the mother to get back h
