Chapter 234 “Miss Lily, but I…”
“Don’t worry, Miss Meredith, Sir will not make it harder for you this time.”
“Miss Lily, it’s because I don’t want to keep running into him.” Right then, Josiah’s cold voice was heard from upstairs. “If you hated to see me, then why would you be so desperate to have my child?”. “Sir,” Lily immediately turned around to greet Josiah. Meredith was slightly taken aback. Turning her head to avoid his gaze, she said, “Miss Lily, I’ll sleep in the guest room on the first floor.”
“So you really don’t want to see me, huh?” Josiah smirked and added, “if that’s the case, I want you to see me and run into me every day until you get sick of me.”
“…” Meredith replied, “Josiah Shelby, I am already sick of seeing your face.”
“Oh, that won’t be enough. I want you to be sick of me to the point where you’ll give up on your baby,” Josiah then said to Lily, “drag her to the second floor.” “Sir, are you heading out?”
“Yes.” Josiah walked toward the door. Meredith had no other choice but to move into the guest room on the second floor.
She then told Lily that she had to go out to settle some things. Seeing how Lily looked conflicted, Meredith reassured her, “Don’t worry, Lily. If Josiah found out about this, just tell him that I’ve sneaked out on my own.” “Miss Meredith, I’m not worried that Sir would be angry at me, but I’m worried that he’d be furious at you.”
“It’s alright, I’m already used to it.”
Meredith and Josiah had always been at each other’s throats anyway.
After leaving Shelby’s residence, Meredith went straight to the hospital.
She spotted Josiah’s car parked at the entrance of the hospital. Meredith realized that Josiah had left the house just to visit his precious lover.
Meredith moved around the hospital carefully to avoid running into Josiah.
Nia was already asleep. Placing down a rose that she bought from a shop, Meredith whispered into Nia’s ear, “Goodnight my darling. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”
Meredith then noticed the leaves that were growing on the branches in the vase.
She thought that it must be a good sign. By the time she returned to the mansion, she found Josiah leaning against her bedroom door, waiting for her.
Meredith came to a stop in her tracks.
“Is this why you don’t want to stay on the same floor as me?” Josiah studied her and added,” Going out of the house immediately after I left? And coming back at this time of the hour?”
Meredith took a deep breath before responding, “Josiah Shelby, I am a pregnant lady, not a criminal. There’s no need for you to lock me up.” “Do you think that I’d give a damn about where you go if it isn’t because you’re carrying my child?”
Meredith was rendered speechless. Josiah then asked, “Spill it, where were you?”
“I took a walk.” Meredith did not tell him that she went to see Nia because Josiah did not like her bringing up the mention of Nia. “You’re not allowed to go out of the house at night,” Josiah instructed. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Noted.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back inside to take a rest.” Meredith walked past him and entered her room.
“Wait,” Josiah called out to her. “Yes?”
