"I can't sleep without taking a bath.""It's not like you can fall asleep after taking a shower," Meredith whispered."So you know I can't sleep?" Josiah suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.Meredith was going to get a pot of hot water, but she fell directly on top of him because of him."You—" She quickly stood up from him and said anxiously, "Don't blame me if you are crushed, Josiah!""Don't you want to wipe my body for me?" Josiah did not let go. He gently traced his fingertips on her wrist, and his eyes softened. "If you can accompany me to sleep, I don't mind if I don't wipe or take a shower."If she was there, he would be able to fall asleep.Meredith chose to help him wipe his body.She broke free from his big palm, took the basin, and walked to the bathroom to get some hot water."Mister Josiah, can you unbutton yourself?" she asked.Of course Josiah could, but of course, he would not do it by himself. He casually picked up a magazine from the bedside table an
"In my eyes, you are no different from a lump of meat, so stop being narcissistic."In fact, Meredith's words were more like a reminder to herself that she would not be embarrassed to treat him as her patient.Josiah looked at her depressedly, then grabbed her arm while she was not paying attention, and dragged her to the bed.Meredith froze for a moment and instinctively began to struggle. "Josiah, let me go.""Meredith, I have to let you get to know me again." He threw the towel from her hand and put her under him."What is there to know? Let go of me!""At least you have to realize that I'm not just a lump of meat," he said.He undid his clothes when he wiped his body just now, and now his body was close to her. Meredith could clearly feel his strength and enthusiasm.She had to admit that he was very different from a lump of meat!However, she stubbornly continued to struggle. "Josiah, this is a hospital, and doctors may come in for rounds at any time.""Don't worry, ther
"I see that you had a pleasant chat with her just now. How could you not have her phone number?""You're being jealous.""..." Meredith glanced at his still tightly closed eyes, and decided to shut up to avoid making too many mistakes.This night, she was trapped in the hospital bed by Josiah.She could feel that Mister Josiah slept well. Meredith initially planned to return to her bed after he fell asleep, so as not to be seen by others.However, she gradually fell asleep too, and they slept till dawn.In the morning, she was about to get out of bed and go back to make breakfast for Nia, but was pulled by Josiah."Where are you going?" He had not fully woken up yet, and his voice was still hoarse."I'll go back and make breakfast for Nia and take her to school.""Don't need to trouble yourself, just leave it to Lily." Josiah did not want her to be so tired from running around.It was the first time that Meredith did not send Nia to school. In order to persuade him to let her
What else could Meredith say?After breakfast, she went to work.And just after she left, Josiah put on a neat suit, ready to leave the hospital."Mister Josiah, your wound is quite serious. You shouldn't be in such a hurry to go to the company," the attending doctor said with concern."Don't worry, this injury is nothing to me." He adjusted his tie and said, "I'll be back on time in the afternoon."The attending doctor nodded. "Okay, I understand what to do."At noon, Meredith was eating the shrimp on the plate, and could not help thinking of the scene when Josiah put the shrimp in her bowl in the morning. She ate too much shrimp, and she did not feel like eating now.She wondered if Josiah had his lunch yet.For someone as arrogant as him, ordinary people should not be able to serve him food, right?She felt that she had to make a phone call and ask, but she was worried that he would laugh at her.She simply found a reason to go back to retrieve some things and drove to She
Meredith replied, "I am taking care of my daughter at home tonight."When Quinley heard this, her heart naturally began to waver.She grabbed a portion of the meal she just made at home and went straight to the hospital.Coincidentally, she came into the ward as soon as Josiah put down the phone."Josiah, are you feeling better?" Quinley walked in and asked happily.Josiah's anger caused by Meredith instantly turned into frost and condensed on his brows. His voice was bone-chilling. "Miss Allison, do you think it's appropriate for you to be here for two consecutive days?"Quinley was accustomed to his cold demeanor early in the morning, and said with a good-natured smile, "I heard from Meredith that she doesn't have time to take care of you tonight, so I just..."She raised the food container and said, "I made something delicious for you, but I don't know if it suits your taste.""Miss Allison, I didn't chase you away last night. I think you should understand why.""I understa
"Mommy, what are you looking at?!" Nia's voice sounded in her ear.Meredith came back to her senses and hurriedly turned off the screen of her phone. "It's nothing, Nia, have you finished solving the block puzzle?""Mommy, I forgot how to solve it.""How could you forget? You did it yourself last time." Meredith tried to distract herself and pulled Nia to the side of the sofa.The building block puzzle placed on the table was not difficult. With Nia's super-high IQ, it should not be a problem for her to solve it.Meredith asked with concern, "What's wrong, Nia?""Mommy, I don't remember which one should go first, blue or red.""Mommy told you last time, blue first.""Did Mommy tell me?""Of course, otherwise how did Nia learn it before?""Yes." Nia giggled and said, "Nia seems to have become stupid.""Silly girl, why are you so happy when you've become stupid?" Meredith raised her hand and rubbed her head. "Okay, Nia, try to solve it by yourself. Mommy will continue to cook.
After looking at each other for a while, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "The little princess and Mister Josiah really look alike, they look so good.""Yes, yes. So cute."Nia said with a smile, "Uncle, my Mommy is also very beautiful.""Ah..." Everyone was startled again and then nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, Mrs. Shelby is also very good-looking, hehe..."Josiah glanced at the figure standing at the door, put his arms around Nia's small body with one hand, and continued to read through the document. "Everyone, continue to read the next clause of the contract."Several high-level executives immediately turned their attention back to the contract.Meredith was a little embarrassed, standing at the door. Unexpectedly, she did not see the intimate scene between Josiah and Quinley, but instead, she disturbed his meeting.She secretly looked inside, and it was the first time she saw Josiah holding his daughter while he worked. The scene was very harmonious.Nia, who was sitting o
"..." Meredith gritted her teeth secretly.Did he not hate sweet things? She was not going to eat the cake for him.She smiled slightly and shook her head. "I won't eat it. After all, it's Nia's gift to you."Nia agreed. "It's for Daddy, but Mommy should eat too.""Oh, fine, I'll eat."Josiah took a bite. It was very sweet. It was so sweet that he almost flinched.Even someone like him who did not like desserts finished the whole cake.After eating the dessert, Josiah deliberately glanced at the time and said, "Nia, it's getting late. You have to go to school tomorrow, why don't you go home and sleep first?"Meredith also glanced at the time and said, "It's only eight o'clock."Josiah raised his eyebrows at her. "Is eight o'clock considered early to you?" "..." Meredith found that she had been caught by him again.Nia did not want to be separated from Daddy so early, and said, "Eight o'clock is still very early. Nia doesn't go to bed until half past nine.""Oh, then Nia ca
