Chapter 1055
“If that‘s the case, then listen to me. Send a message to those people using this situation. We shouldn‘t go easy on
them.”
Meredith stayed silent for a moment before adding, “And those words that you said to them earlier, aren‘t you
pushing me further into the fire pit?”
“People now know that we‘ve been getting involved with each other even before Charlie passed away. Now that
Charlie has just passed away, we’re already together. How am I supposed to explain myself this time?”
“Do you really think that you‘d be freed of those accusations if I didn‘t say anything?”
Josiah shook his head and went on, “Edith, I‘ve said it earlier. There‘s no use to keep running away from this
problem, and they will not let you go just because you avoid this. They will only think that you‘re feeling guilty and
this will only fuel them to bully you further until you won‘t be able to walk around freely in this city.”

“Yes. And they‘ll eventually stop and come to accept the reality after a few days.”
“No,” Meredith shook her head and said, “I can‘t do that.”
“Why?”
“Because I already made it clear that I won‘t go back to you. I don‘t want people to use this against us when one
day either of us gets married.”
Josiah sounded rather hurt, “So this was what was bothering
you.”
“Who‘s to say what‘s going to happen in the future? That is why it‘s better to not cause such misunderstandings.”
“I really appreciate what you did today but I hope that you won‘t interfere the next time something like this
happens.” Meredith looked at him and added solemnly, “Because when things were being thrown at me earlier... I
felt sort of relieved somehow.”
Josiah was flabbergasted.
He was looking at Meredith with an ‘are–you–even–hearing yourself‘ kind of expression.
Meredith pulled into a bitter smile. Perhaps it was true that
she was not in her right mind.
But she really did feel that way.
She did not want to talk more with him. Reaching for her phone, she called Goldie.
On the other end of the call was Goldie, “Give me a moment, Miss Meredith. I‘ll be there soon.”
Soon after, Goldie showed up with Meredith‘s new clothes.
Goldie sensed a heavy tension growing in the room and she laughed awkwardly, “Ma‘am, here‘s your clothes. I
should probably leave?”
Josiah said instead, “You stay, Goldie.”
He then walked out of the lounging room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was when Josiah left, that Meredith finally took a deep breath and started changing into her new clothes.
Noticing the gloomy expression on Meredith, Goldie hesitated before asking, “Ma‘am, did you and Mister Josiah
have a fight
again?”
Meredith froze slightly and recalled the things she talked about earlier.
Were they fighting?
Meredith thought that ever since she got back her memories, Josiah and she had been interacting this way as if
there was a wall between the both of them.
–
Goldie could not help but start to take Josiah‘s side again.” Ma‘am, I‘m sorry if you think I‘m being annoying, but I
do think that what Mister Josiah did today was rather commendable.”
Meredith replied flatly, “If you don‘t want me to think that you‘re annoying, then you should probably stop talking.”
Goldie cleared her throat and stopped talking.
But after a while, Goldie said, “Ma‘am, Mister Josiah is really good to you. Even if you don‘t want to go back to him,
you shouldn‘t ignore his efforts.”
