Chapter 237
Josiah suddenly pulled her into a corner and glared at her. “I’ll deal with you regarding what you did with Liam earlier, but I want you to get out of my house, right now, this instance!” *Why?” Meredith was wordless with rage. “Are you sick in the head? You were the one who forced me to move in with you and you’re now asking me to leave?”
Besides, how could he kick a pregnant lady out the house when it was raining heavily outside?
He was being unreasonable. “Because I don’t want grandma to know that you’re still alive and I don’t want her to see you.” Josiah took a glimpse inside the house. Meredith wondered to herself, ‘What is he talking about? Is his grandmother here?’
Studying her expression, Josiah guessed that Meredith must be up to no good. Closing into her, Josiah warned, “Meredith Leighton, don’t think that I don’t know what you’re planning inside that head of yours. If you dare to speak of things that you shouldn’t to my grandma, I will take no mercy on that baby of yours.”
“You.”
“You know better how I am. So try me if you dare.”
Recalling what Josiah had done to her back then, Meredith felt chills running down hier spine as she stuttered, “L…I wasn’t going to do anything.”
“Penny, who’s outside?” Josiah’s grandmother’s voice was heard coming from the house. “I’m not sure. Could it be Sir?” “What is he doing outside in the rain?” Josiah’s grandmother’s voice was getting closer to Josiah and Meredith.
Josiah pushed Meredith away from the door and warned her in a low voice, “Get the hell out of here now. Don’t you dare let grandma see you.”
He then turned around and walked into the room.
“Who are you talking to?” Josiah’s grandmother asked. “No one, I was on the phone.” “Really? Why did I hear the car engine sound?”
Josiah’s grandmother pushed Josiah away and insisted on checking outside.
“It was Liam. He came back but went out again after getting a call.”
“Oh? It must really be Liam then.” Josiah’s grandmother pushed Josiah slightly and complained, “Josiah Shelby, why are you always in my way?”
“It’s raining so heavily outside and I don’t want you to get wet again.” Josiah walked her back to the sofa and added, “Grandma, let’s talk about what to do next with the baby.”
At the mention of her great-grandchild, Josiah’s grandmother immediately sat down.
Taking a sip of the hot tea, she said, “So, what do you plan to do?” “What do you mean?” Josiah asked, “Aren’t you the one who wants a great-grandchild? We just have to wait for him to be born.” “But his mom is a prostitute,” Josiah’s grandmother grumbled. “Since you’re worried about the mother’s identity, why don’t we have an abortion instead?” Josiah’s grandmother glared at him. “Don’t we have a better solution for this?”
“There are only two solutions to this. One, we keep the child, two, we get rid of the child.”
The former would bring humiliation to the Shelby family whereas the latter was what Josiah’s grandmother had been desperately hoping for. Hence it was a hard decision to make. And it was for this reason that Josiah’s grandmother had purposely come all the way to Jehovah City to meet Merelyn.
“We’ll decide after getting the paternity test results tomorrow.”
“We’ll know who the child belongs to after nine months anyway, so why the rush now?” Josiah was trying his best to keep his grandmother from meeting Meredith.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
