Chapter 1196

Meredith immediately changed the subject. "Also, back then when Nia was having treatment abroad, you also didn't

tell me about that. Also..."

"Edith," Josiah interrupted her, "you clearly care about the matters between Ivy and me, why do you pretend as if

you don't care? Just because of Cooper's condition?"

"I don't really care that much," Meredith tried to explain herself.

"Look at you. Your face reeks of jealousy."

"Says who..."

Josiah closed the magazine in his hands. He waved at her. "Come over here."

Of course, Meredith did not go over, she even took a step back.

"Come here," Josiah insisted.

"You can just say whatever you want to say."

"Edith, have you ever thought that you actually care about me?" Josiah sized up the complicated gaze in her eyes.

"And due to ego and past grievances, you're not willing to admit it."

Meredith instantly felt as if he saw through her. However, even she did not know what she was feeling and whether

she cared for him or not.

What good would it do to them both if she admitted that she cared for him at that moment?

She took a deep breath and said, "Josiah, let's wait for Cooper's condition to get better before discussing this,

what's the point of discussing this now?"

"Wait until Cooper gets better? Don't you think it's a little late then?"

"No. Nothing is more important than Cooper's sickness," Meredith said and smiled at him. "Mister Josiah, stop

thinking about this. Good night."

Then, she turned and headed out of the room.

However, she just took a step forward when Josiah ran over to her and picked her up.

She was frightened. She held onto the frame of the door and stared at him. "Josiah, what are you doing? You said

you wouldn't touch me."

"Yes, I won't touch you." Josiah carried her back to the room and placed her under the covers.

He was just in the covers. It was warm and filled with his scent.



Meredith seemed to be lying on fluffy clouds, she was so comfortable she did not want to leave.

Josiah leaned in and looked at her. "But your house is really too cold, so I need someone to hug to sleep."

Meredith was speechless.

Josiah burrowed under the covers and hugged her in his arms.

"Hmm. I won't feel cold like this," Josiah said while hugging her tightly.

Meredith was a little baffled. "Josiah, whether or not you really want to marry her, but since you have already

decided to marry Ivy, you shouldn't be hugging another woman in bed."

"Why can't I?" Josiah did not find it inappropriate.

He buried his face in her shoulder and took a deep breath." Meredith, I've said it before. Even if I marry Ivy, I will

not give you up. I will make you my lover or my mistress. No matter what, I will not let you go.

Meredith was completely at a loss for words.

How could he say such words?

Strangely, she felt pity for Ivy.

She thought back about herself back then, she forced him to marry her, yet he slept with another woman on the

night of their wedding.

Was Ivy, at that moment, not her back then?

Meredith fought hard to get out of his arms.

Josiah looked up and sized her up. "What is it? Why are your expressions so ugly?"

"Nothing. I just suddenly thought about myself." There it went again.
