Chapter 757
“But I can never marry you,” Josiah told her honestly.
“I know,” With more tears rolling down her cheeks, Yena added bitterly, “I know that you and I are from different
worlds. I wouldn’t expect someone like you to marry me – someone who came from a plain background.”
Yena thought that Josiah did not think that she matched him hence that was why he agreed to marry Meredith.
But even then, this would not stop her from wanting to get married to him.
“Mainly because Meredith and I have agreed to re-register our marriage. And we have a daughter together.”
“Will you still marry Meredith if there is no child between the both of you?”
“Yes.”

“…” Yena was stunned.
Josiah liked Meredith. But why would he like such a cold-hearted and vile woman like her? “So it doesn’t matter how
vile and despicable she is, you still like her the same?” Yena asked.
She then went on, “Sir, you don’t have to come up with such lies just to reject me because there it is impossible for
someone to actually like a vile woman like her. Perhaps you only like her because she could help relieve your
insomnia problem.
“Don’t worry, Sir. I know my place and where I should stand. I dare not hope for the day that you’d want to marry
me and I will not bring you any trouble.” Tears started welling up in her eyes again. She then covered her face with
the blanket and said flatly, “I would like to get some rest now. You should get back to your day, Sir.” Leaving the
hospital, Josiah took a shower at his office before heading home. By the time he reached home, it was late noon
and the servants were already resting.
He went upstairs to find that both Meredith and Nia were nowhere to be seen. He then dialed Meredith’s number on
his phone but her phone was turned off.
He suddenly had a bad feeling and quickened his steps toward the bedroom.
Josiah felt assured when he noticed that Meredith’s clothes and skincare products were left untouched in the same
position.
He tried to convince himself that Meredith and Nia only went out for a while.
Josiah took a nap after that. By the time he woke up, it was already evening. When he walked down the stairs, Lily
was surprised to see him. “Sir! When did you guys come

home. Why didn’t I hear any of you?” “I got home at noon,” Josiah then asked, “are Meredith and Nia home yet?”
“Um…” Puzzled, Lily asked, “Didn’t Ma’am and Nia come home with you? I didn’t see them either.”
“I just got back from the hospital. How would they be with me?”
“Wh…what did you say?” Lily was even more confused now. “You’ve just returned from the hospital? Aren’t you
supposed to go on a honeymoon with Ma’am and Nia?”
“Who told you that?” Once again, Josiah started to get a bad feeling.
He was convinced that Meredith did not run away from home because her belongings were still around. But he
suddenly was not so sure anymore after hearing Lily’s response. “Ma’am said it herself,” Lily went on, “Ma’am
returned from the city hall yesterday and told me that she and you are going on a honeymoon trip. Could it be a
lie?”
Josiah panicked. Grabbing Lily by her arms, he demanded, “What do you mean? So where is she and Nia now? They
didn’t come home last night? Not at all?”
