Chapter изо
Josiah also knew that, so he did not dare to say anything else anymore. He then hurriedly changed the topic. “Edith, didn’t you want to know about Ivy? Let’s talk about Ivy then.”
Meredith shot a glance at him. “Go on then.”
“Ivy’s mother and my mother are best friends. After the Landers Group fell apart back then, Mister and Mrs. Landers happened to have passed away in a severe car accident. You should know about this. Later, my mother pitied Ivy, so she took her in and let her stay by her side. Out of gratitude, Ivy went to medical school and had been serving by my mother’s side as a personal doctor after she graduated.
“Therefore, after my mother returned to the country, it was her who gave me the call,” said Josiah.
“That’s all?” Meredith was a little less than convinced.
“Otherwise, what else could there be?” Josiah raised his eyebrows at her and said with a faint smile, “Edith, you’re not jealous of her, are you?”
Meredith was speechless, she let out a few awkward dry coughs. ” You’re thinking too much.”
“But I think that you clearly are.” Josiah took one step toward her and put her in his embrace. “Edith, this is the best gift you’ve given to me. I really am very happy and also very touched.”
Upon saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead.
As he was preparing to follow along her cheeks and continue kissing downward, she avoided him.
Josiah was a little disappointed, but he still respected her.
It was better to take his time.
Because it was almost nearing New Year’s day, Nia was already on her winter break.
The following day, Meredith was prepared to visit Charlie’s grave in the morning and take Nia shopping in the afternoon.
She got up very early in the morning and she realized that Josiah had already prepared breakfast.
After not seeing him for half a year, he was quite skilled at making breakfast. The sandwich that he made was already comparable to the ones served in the shops.
