Chapter 1198
Ivy’s gentle voice came from inside. “Joe, why are you still not back yet so late? Is everything alright?”
Josiah held his phone while gently caressing Meredith’s shoulder. ” I’m together with Meredith. Miss Landers, is there anything else?”
Ivy, on the other end of the line, paused for a while before saying, ” I…nothing. I’m just worried about you not being back so late. It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll hang up.”
Josiah hung up the call first.
He lowered his head to see Meredith looking at him with a complicated gaze.
He knew that she must be thinking back about her past once more.
He helplessly sighed and said seriously, “Meredith, I don’t like to give people hope. Especially not to a woman that I don’t like. I don’t think I’m wrong in doing so, if not it will be like…”
He initially wanted to say that it would be like how she gave Charlie hope and ended up hurting herself.
However, on another thought, this incident has been over for a year. He no longer needed to bring it up to make her sad again.
Meredith asked him in confusion, “It will be like what?”
“It will be…” Josiah paused for a while. “It will hurt the person that I love. For example, you.”
Meredith had no more words.
Josiah saw her closing her eyes and no longer quarreling with her. Josiah stuck to his word. He did not touch her at all the entire night.
The next day, when Meredith woke up, it was already seven- something in the morning, she instinctively swept a gaze next to her. Josiah was already gone.
He knew that she had to head to his mansion to make breakfast for Cooper, yet he did not wake her up. How terrible!
