Still Loving You NonethelessChapter 1098
Chapter 1098Nia was always a disciplined child, she did not need any supervision.“Mommy, go spend time with Daddy. I can do the homework on my own,” Nia said to her.Meredith cleared her throat and casually picked a book up. “Your Daddy is busy cleaning up in the kitchen. I can’t do anything there.”“You could just be with him like how I accompanied him during breakfast.”Meredith did not know how to respond to her.However, Meredith could see that Nia did not welcome her staying by her side, because Nia hoped that she would spend more time with Josiah, to foster a better relationship.“Okay, then you do your homework. I’ll go see if your Daddy has finished cleaning or not.” Meredith got up and left Nia’s room.Josiah had already finished cleaning the dishes. He even cleaned the kitchen, making it spotless, when he saw Meredith, he immediately asked for praise from her. “Meredith, do you want to come and see if it’s clean or not?”“No need. The unclean ones I’ll just put them in the dishwasher and wash them another time.”Josiah was speechless, “why didn’t you tell me that there’s a dishwasher…”“The dishwasher is there. I didn’t hide it.”Josiah looked at where she was looking. Sure enough, he saw a huge dishwasher embedded under the drawers.Although he was a little depressed at being taken a jab at, at the thought that he took the initiative to make breakfast and do the dishes so that he could please her, he no longer minded about it.“No worries, it’s cleaner washing by hand.” He pretended to seriously touch his shoulder. “But my shoulders hurt a little. I don’t know if the wound split open or not.” Sure enough, Meredith was a little worried by that, she said without any change in expression, “Come here. I’ll have a look.”Josiah immediately walked over to her. Meredith got him to sit down on the sofa. He deliberately said, “If Nia sees me hurt, she would be worried, so we should go to the room.”Although she could see that he was doing it deliberately, it made sense too.Nia did not know he was hurt. If she saw that he was hurt, she would be frightened.Thus, Meredith got him to go to her bedroom.Josiah did not obediently seat down so that she could reapply the medication. On the contrary, he started taking a tour around her room seriously.“Do you want to get your injuries redressed or not?”Meredith had already prepared the medication.“It’s so rare that you let me enter your bedroom. Of course, I have to properly look around.” Josiah looked around and asked, “what is this? A crystal ball? This doesn’t feel like your style.”“It’s perfume,” Meredith corrected him.“I see. The packaging looks great.” Josiah picked up and sniffed, ” It smells good. Is this your company’s new product?”“Yes.”“What is it called?”“Can’t you see for yourself?” Josiah looked and asked, “Can I try it? II“It’s for women, but up to you.”Josiah opened the cap, but he did not spritz it on himself. He walked over to Meredith and spritzed some perfume behind her ears, then he leaned in to sniff her.Meredith was speechless. “Josiah, what are you doing?”“Didn’t you say it’s for women? I can’t possibly just spritz it on me, right?”He took in a deep sniff. He nodded and said, “The top notes are great. It’s elegant yet not piercing, but I still prefer Sweet Reminiscence.”Perhaps the Sweet Reminiscence represented her scent.“After a while, remember to let me have a whiff of the bottom notes,” Josiah said.Meredith avoided him and asked, “Do you want to redress your injuries?”Josiah nodded and finally sat down by the bed.Meredith pulled him to the sofa at the end of the bed. “Don’t sit on my bed.”
