Josiah frowned when he noticed the relaxed expression on Meredith’s face. Josiah did not expect her
to react this way.
However, the more Meredith looked relaxed and unbothered, the more Josiah was worried. He was
worried that Meredith was simply pretending to be well-behaved but she was actually plotting
something.
He then added, “I will be there too on that day. So you better tuck away all your petty little tricks.”
This time around, Meredith could not be bothered to explain herself anymore.
Closing her eyes, she said, “I’m getting sleepy now, can you leave?”
“Whatever.” Josiah then walked out of her ward.
The room was finally quiet. Meredith could not help but recall when she was being assaulted. She let
out a sigh of relief as she placed her hand on her belly. If it was not for Josiah who showed up at the
right time, she would have been sexually assaulted by those men. Her life might even be in danger.
Josiah had helped her.
But he did make it clear that he only saved the child because of his grandmother’s sake.
At the end of the day, Meredith knew that she should not expect anything from Josiah. Josiah’s
grandmother stared suspiciously at Josiah who walked into the dining hall. “Where did you go in the
middle of the night when it was still raining heavily?” “I needed to settle something urgently,” Josiah
replied as he poured his grandmother a glass of milk.
“What’s so urgent? Don’t tell me that something happened to my great-grandchild?”“No, grandma.”
“Good then.” Josiah’s grandmother couldn’t care less about where he went last night. Taking a sip of
the milk, she then asked, “Oh, have you scheduled a time with Miss Merelyn? I want to see her today.”
“She’s in her hometown this week and will only be back next week.”
novelbin“What? But you didn’t say anything about her being back at her hometown yesterday.”
“Perhaps she heard that you’re here to see her so she ran away,” Josiah lied without even blinking.
He knew that his grandmother would want to see Meredith and he did not plan to lie to her but Meredith
had gotten into an accident last night.
Josiah did not want his grandmother to worry so he planned to delay the date for them to meet.
Josiah’s grandmother slapped Josiah on his arm and scolded, “What did you tell her? How could you
scare her away?” “I didn’t expect it to turn out this way.” Even though she was old, she was still alert.
Narrowing her eyes at Josiah, she said, “Josiah Shelby, you did it on purpose, didn’t you? You’re trying
to avoid us from meeting and getting the paternity test, right? I bet the pregnancy report was fake too,
isn’t it?”
Josiah’s grandmother was getting more convinced that her hunch was right. Slamming the spoon
against the table, she seethed, “Josiah Shelby! If you don’t bring her to meet me immediately, I’ll
schedule a meeting for you and Miss Yvette and I’ll drag you to sign the marriage papers right away.”
Josiah was rendered speechless. “Who is Miss Yvette?”
How was he supposed to get married to someone he did not even know?“The daughter of the Yvette family. I’ve met her once, pretty, gentle, and well-educated. She’s pretty
much like Meredith.”
Josiah’s face darkened. “Are you really bringing up Meredith Leighton at this time? Do you not
remember the humiliation that she had brought to our family?”
