Chapter 1031 “This cocktail is very sweet,” Meredith said after taking a sip. “It‘s actually more like a syrup than alcohol. But the mixture tastes not bad.” Josiah also took a sip and moved his glasses closer to Meredith. “Come, let‘s cheer.”
Meredith did not reject it and touched her glass with his. The singer started singing on the stage. Probably it was already quite late in the night, the entire place had only two guests which were Meredith and Josiah.
The singer chose to sing a soft ballad. Meredith used a hand to support her face while she gazed at the young male singer. She did not even hear anything Josiah said. Thus, Josiah followed her sight and found her gazing at the young and handsome singer. Suddenly, jealousy creeped out of him. “Edith.” He waved his hand in front of her. “Why are you looking at another person when the father of your child is right here?” Meredith stopped dazing and coughed, “I just think that he is a good singer.” “You can just listen to his voice if you think he sings well. There‘s no need for you to stare at him.” Josiah almost bluntly told Meredith that he was jealous of the singer. However, Meredith knew it even if Josiah did not say it. She just said nothing and continued drinking her cocktail.
A second later, she asked, “What did you say just now?”
Josiah was lost in words. “You finally remembered asking it now?” “Don‘t say it if it pleases you.” Meredith lowered her head again to stir the juice in the glass.
Josiah sighed and took the initiative to say, “I’m asking if you are feeling better lately. When are you planning to go back to accompany Nia?” Meredith‘s face sank as he expected. “I can accompany Nia anytime. But I already told you, I‘m not going to stay at your house.” “Is it because of Charlie?” Josiah asked
“You can think so,” Meredith answered.
“Edith, Charlie, he...” Josiah continued to talk.
“Josiah, I don‘t want to talk about this problem. If you insisted, then I better go
back to sleep,” Meredith said and was about to get up to leave.
