Chapter 401

Chapter 401Chapter 401 Josiah lowered his head and kissed Meredith on the forehead. “It’s late. Let’s continue
sleeping,”
“Hmm.” Meredith nodded.
She closed her eyes for a while before suddenly opening them wide and asked, “By the way, is my
bracelet done? I need to look for Yuna.”
Then, she was about to get up. Josiah pulled her back into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and
said, “Don’t worry. It’s done. You can get it tomorrow.” In fact, when Yuna went to the jewelry shop, it
was already closed. She had to do it the next day, but to coax Meredith to sleep, Josiah had to come
up with this white lie.
Sure enough, Meredith obediently went to bed.
The next day, when Meredith woke up, the bracelet was lying in perfect condition on the nightstand
next to her bed.
She delightedly took the bracelet to have a look. It was the one that was snapped the night before.
She took the bracelet downstairs and said happily, “Joe, my bracelet is fixed. It’s the same as the
original one!”
Josiah was preparing breakfast downstairs. When he heard her call him out happily, he turned around
and smiled faintly at her. “What did I say? Isn’t it done already?”
“Thank you. I thought that we might need to go pick seashells again.” Meredith put the bracelet on.
Then, she looked at Josiah’s wrist. He was wearing the same bracelet. “You look nice in whatever you
wear, Joe,” Meredith praised him.
“You, too. You look nice in whatever you wear.” Joe placed breakfast on the table and walked over to
her. He hugged her around the waist with one hand while pointing at her feet with the other.
“What’s going on? Where are your shoes?”.
Meredith lowered her head to scan her feet. She embarrassedly scratched her head. “I was happy
when I saw the bracelet, so I have forgotten to put them on.”
“The floor is so cold. How could you forget to put on shoes?” Josiah lifted her up and placed her on anovelbinchair by the dining table. “Don’t move.” Then, he headed to the shoe closet and took a pair of slippers
to put them on her.
“Joe, I can do it myself.” Meredith instinctively retracted her feet.
“Don’t move.”
Josiah held her by the ankle with one hand while gently placing the slipper on her feet with the other
hand.
Looking at him bent down in front of her, Meredith suddenly turned soft hearted.
She remembered what Maeve told her. If she were to remember what Josiah did to her in the past, she
would not even want a diamond bracelet, let alone a seashell one.
Did Maeve mean that…Josiah used to treat her badly? How could such a caring man treat her badly?
She refused to believe it! “Why are you daydreaming? Eat up.” Josiah nudged at the oatmeal porridge
in her bowl.” Don’t you like my cooking?” “It’s not that.” Meredith smiled. “No matter what you cook, I
will like it.” “You’re such a sweet-talker. Come, let me feed you.” Josiah took a spoonful and fed her.
Meredith opened her mouth and accepted the food. Then, she fed him in return.
Their affectionate ways were the envy of the servants who were outside the dining hall.
Yuna said in a soft tone, “Miss Xander broke Ma’am’s bracelet last night. I thought she would lose it
and go mad. Thankfully, she didn’t.”
Another servant said enviously, “Sir is so caring and gentle with her, she will surely get better soon.”
“Hmm. I think so too.”
