Chapter 1025 Meredith did not know that Josiah had been watching her while leaning against the back of the couch and holding a cup. After she was done tidying up the clothes, she turned around and saw him, and then she said in passing, “Mister Josiah, I‘ll put your clothes here. You may first take a shower.”
Josiah took a glance at the clothes that she neatly placed on the rack and nodded gently
He stood up straight and walked toward her while reaching out to his arm.
He wanted to gently put her in his arms, but he was afraid she would be frightened and run away. Therefore, he could only move slowly, held her wrist gently, and pulled her over to sit on the couch, then said, “Edith, you‘re tired after a long day. Hurry up and have a seat to just rest for a while.” As expected, even if he only held her wrist gently, she also felt uncomfortable. After she broke free from his hand indifferently, she said, “I‘m not tired.”
“I‘ll look after Nia. You may first go and take a shower.” “I‘ll take a shower later after I‘ve returned to the room next door,” said Meredith with estrangement. “You should shower here. I’ll go to the room next door in a while,” said Josiah. The room they were in was the master bedroom of the mansion, which was also the most luxurious and the beast room.
The last time they came, they were still sleeping on the same bed. However, things were different this time.
Since they could not sleep together, of course, he would not hog the master bedroom.
Meredith did not refuse either. She took her pajamas and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
After she was done showering, she changed into the new pajamas and came out with water still dripping from her hair.
Josiah immediately got a hairdryer and wanted to help her blow dry her hair, but he was rejected by her. “Mister Josiah, I can manage these kinds of trivial matters on my own,” said Meredith, and then she added while staring straight at him, “There‘s no need for you to care for me so much in everything. It‘s inappropriate.”
“Edith,” Josiah breathed in silently and helplessly, and then said, “Charlie is not here anymore. I should take care of you properly. Other than you, I won‘t ever care for another woman anymore in this life.”
“I am Charlie‘s wife,” Meredith said calmly, “and it hasn‘t been that long since he passed away. We really shouldn‘t be so close to each other.”
“Here you go again, Edith.”
