Chapter 197Chapter 197
For the sake of pleasing Josiah, Meredith returned to the Shelby’s residence to prepare lunch Puzzied,
Lily asked, “Miss Meredith, who are you cooking for? Sir is not at home.
The servants used a separate kitchen from their owners and Meredith would usually prepare her meals
in the servant’s quarters.
“I’m planning to send lunch to Sir,” She replied.
“But there is a food cafeteria at his company,” said Lily.
“That’s alright. What matters is sincerity.” Meredith continued preparing lunch.
Studying Meredith, Lily thought that Meredith had changed.
For instance, she had been extra attentive to Josiah and she even thought of going to the lengths to
send him lunch.
Lily knew right away that Meredith was trying to please Josiah. But she too knew that Josiah was not
someone who could be pleased that easily.
novelbinIn the end, Lily could only shake her head and walk away.
Before the working hours ended, Ysabelle turned up at Josiah’s office.
At the sight of her, as usual, Josiah looked indifferent. “What are you doing here?”
“I was around the area to settle some matters and realized that it was already lunchtime. So I thought
of coming over to have lunch with you.” Ysabelle smiled and added, “Josiah, let me buy you lunch.”Ysabelle purposely wore a provocative sleeveless black dress.
Nevertheless, as usual, Josiah was unfazed. “It’s fine. I don’t want to waste time to have lunch outside.”
“But Josiah, you’ve been working for the entire morning and it’s only right that you take a break,”
Ysabelle tried to persuade him and said, “isn’t your insomnia getting worse? I’m guessing that it’s
because of the long hours of working.”
At the mention of his insomnia, Josiah was suddenly reminded of Meredith.
She actually managed to help relieve his insomnia last night.
Seeing how Josiah was in a daze, Ysabelle called out to him, “Josiah, what’s wrong?” Josiah seemed
as if he did not hear her calling until the phone on his desk rang. He finally came back to his senses
and picked up the call. It was from his secretary informing him that Meredith was downstairs and she
wanted to meet him. “Who?” Josiah unconsciously furrowed his brows. “Meredith Leighton?” “Yes, Sir.
Miss Meredith is here to send you lunch. Would you like to meet her?”
Josiah took a glance at Ysabelle, pulled into a smirk, and replied, “Let her up.” Right after he ended the
call, Ysabelle asked, “What’s going on? Meredith is here?
“Yeah.”
“Goodness gracious. Is she not afraid of being recognized? What if the employees get to know about
what she has been doing at the nightclub? It’ll be bad for you…”
“Doesn’t matter. It’s not like she cares about her reputation.” Josiah was actually curious. He wanted to
know why Meredith decided to show up.
She had been acting strange since last night and now she was showing up at his office.Josiah found it hard to believe that Meredith was not hiding something from him.
“I didn’t expect that Meredith would risk such a decision just to get pregnant with your child. Isn’t she
scared that you’d kick her out of the building?” Ysabelle deliberately brought up the mention of this to
raise Josiah’s suspicions about Meredith. “What did you say? Meredith wants to have my child?” Josiah
wondered when did Meredith have such an idea.
“Yeah. Don’t tell me that you didn’t notice it at all?” Ysabelle went on, “She heard that your
grandmother demanded you to get married and for your wife to be pregnant in three months, so she
thought that this will be a good chance for her to return to the Shelby family. That is the reason
