Chapter 422 Noon came and Meredith returned to the mansion with Caden. She prepared some fruits for Caden
and left him in the living room as he watched the TV. Meredith then started making dinner in the kitchen. As usual,
she had prepared Josiah’s favorite dishes and had waited for Josiah to get home from work before having dinner,
She then served some pasta onto his plate and made sure Josiah had settled down at the dining table.
After all of that, she then immediately rushed to Caden.
“Caden darling, here are some beef meatballs. Try some and see if you like it,” She put two pieces of meatballs
onto his plate and went on, “I’ll make more next time if you like them.”
It was the same sentence again. Josiah reminded her, “Meredith, you have been saying the same thing repeatedly
every time we have dinner.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Because I’d only make them again if you like then, if not I won’t,” Meredith was puzzled, “is there anything wrong
with that?” “Mm…not really.” Meredith continued feeding Caden and only started eating after Caden had finished
eating. But she roughly took a few mouthfuls of the pasta and got up from the dining table. Josiah grabbed her by
her wrist and stopped her from leaving. “Why are you eating so little?”
“I’m done eating. I want to keep Caden accompanied.” “Edith, there’s something that I need to talk to you about,”
said Josiah.
“Let’s talk after I put Caden to bed. I too have something to talk to you about.” Meredith then walked out of the
dining hall.
Josiah was speechless.
Josiah concluded that Meredith only said words like ‘you are the most important to me’ to please him. He actually
had to wait until Caden went to bed before Meredith would talk to him.
Josiah could not bring himself to spend days like this anymore. He quietly finished his dinner and headed upstairs to
continue on with his work
Back then when he worked on his study, Meredith would visit him to check on him. But after Caden showed up, he
hardly even saw Meredith anymore. The urge to send Caden away snowballed even more. By the time Meredith got
back to their bedroom after putting Caden to sleep, Josiah had almost fallen asleep waiting for her. “Joe, you’re still
up?” Meredith was surprised.
Chapter 22
Josiah looked up from the magazine in his hands and glanced at her. “What a good wife you are, to keep your
husband waiting for you.” “Were you waiting for me?” “What do you think?” “Why haven’t you showered then?” “I
was waiting for you.”
“Waiting for me to shower together?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s been a while since we last showered together. Would you not want that, Mrs. Shelby?”
Meredith suddenly got shy under his heated stare. “I…”
Josiah put down the magazine in his hand, walked toward her, and lifted her chin so that she was looking at him.
“What do you plan to say? If you knew better, you would have taken off your clothes and waited for me there.”
He then lifted her in his arms and walked into the shower room.
Wrapping her hands around his shoulder, she suddenly thought of something. “Right, didn’t you say that you have
something to talk to me about? What is it?” “We can talk after showering.” “What is it exactly?” Meredith got even
more curious.
Josiah put her down on the floor, removed her clothes, and put her into the bathtub that was already filled with a
tub of warm water. He then realized that Meredith was staring at him, still waiting for his answer.
