Chapter 1056
Meredith asked instead, “If not, what do you think I should do? Throw myself into his arms because I‘m so grateful for him and just get along with him?”
“Yeah, like friends do. Can you not do that?”
Meredith laughed bitterly, “For two people who loved each other and yet at the same time hurt each other to be friends? I can‘t do that.”
“Miss Meredith, I don‘t think it‘s because of this reason that you can’t do that, it‘s because you still have Mister Charlie in your heart, right?”
“Perhaps so. In any case, this is how it‘s going to be between Josiah and I for the rest of our life.”
She put on her clothes, picked up her bag from the sofa and said, “Let‘s go.”
Walking past the counter for Sweet Reminiscence, the group had dispersed and the employees were cleaning up the scene.
Because a handful of perfume bottles were broken, the entire place was filled with the smell of Sweet Reminiscence.
There was even a small pool of blood on the floor. Meredith
guessed that it was from Josiah.
At the thought that Josiah hurt his forehead, Meredith finally felt a bit guilty. Because she did not even ask about his injury.
It was not because she was cold–blooded, it was simply because she did not think that the time was right.
Josiah had claimed that he loved her and wanted to be with her, so Meredith planned on showing her cold and ruthless side to him, so that he would give up.
But Josiah did not really care about this.
Mister Wesley, however, felt aggrieved for Josiah. While treating Josiah‘s wound, he grumbled, “Sir, you really shouldn‘t do all this anymore. This will only lower your worth and Miss Meredith will only be less interested in you.”
Josiah glanced at him. “How am I lowering my worth? Why don‘t I think that way?”
“Sir, we can‘t just shower women with love and put up with everything they do. We should use the carrot and stick approach.”
