She wrapped her arms around his body and started unbuttoning his shirt. But Josiah stopped her.
Grabbing her chin to lift her head, Josiah snickered, “What’s the rush, Miss Meredith? Do you want it so
badly that you don’t care where we are right now?” Seeing how Josiah had stopped, Meredith felt
anxious. This was the first time she so desperately wanted Josiah to want her. “What’s wrong? Are you
scared?” She tried to provoke him.
“This is my company. What is there to be afraid of?” Josiah scoffed and his gaze stopped on her left
cheek. “It’s your face, it disgusts me.”
“Don’t lie Josiah. Your body had already given you away.”
“But I can’t ignore what my eyes are seeing,” Swallowing down the burning desire in him, he shook his
head and went on, “Meredith Leighton, did you really think that you could return to being my wife with
that face of yours? And with that damaged and dirty body of yours?”
Who said she wanted to be his wife again? All she wanted was to have another child to save Nia’s life.
And Josiah actually stopped when things were going well. Meredith was utterly frustrated “Are you
even a man, Josiah Shelby? Cut the nonsense and just do it!” Meredith said. But the more she wanted
it, the more that Josiah would not let her have what she wanted.
“I am a man, but I don’t want you today.” He then took a step backward from her, leaving Meredith all
alone on the desk. Clenching her fists tightly together, Meredith tried to damper down the urge to kick
him.
novelbinShe closed her eyes and took several deep breaths.
“What are you still waiting for? Get the hell out!” Josiah pushed her off his desk.Once again, he pushed her away with brute force.
Gasping in pain, Meredith tried to pick herself up from the floor. Standing up on her feet, she
straightened her dress and glared furiously at him.
Josiah stared at her mockingly. “What’s wrong? Disappointed that I don’t want you?” “It is my greatest
pleasure that you actually don’t want me.” Gritting her teeth, Meredith took the lunchbox off the desk
with her and walked out the door.
As Meredith left, the smirk on Josiah’s face faded little by little.
He planned to tease Meredith a little but he nearly failed to hold himself back and gave Meredith what
she wanted.
He walked to the water dispenser and started chugging down a few cups of cold water to cool himself
down.
Standing by the window as he watched the people crossing the road downstairs, Josiah noticed
Meredith who was crossing the road.
Putting down the cup, he grabbed the binoculars on his desk.
Through the binoculars, he spotted Meredith right away.
She was dressed in a white dress and was holding the lunch box in one of her hands.
After crossing the road, she came to a stop before walking toward a homeless old lady who was sitting
by the roadside. Crouching down in front of the old lady, Meredith handed the lunchbox to her. The old
lady looked surprised. Meredith said something to the old lady and it was only then the old lady took
the lunchbox from her. Meredith then waved goodbye to the old lady and left. The old lady opened upthe lunchbox and started eating. She was eating while nodding her head with a satisfied look on her
face. Josiah thought to himself that even though he resented Meredith, he had to admit that Meredith’s
cooking was good. Josiah turned around to look at the food tray on his desk and suddenly he felt as if
he had lost all his appetite
