Chapter 184
Josiah’s tone turned serious too. “Grandma, it was you who rushed me into getting married to Meredith, and look where that got us.”
“Don’t you bring Meredith into this,” Josiah’s grandmother shot a glance at him and went on, “I never believed that Meredith would do those sorts of things.”
Josiah scoffed coldly, “Well, neither did I before I saw that video clip.”
Ysabelle, who desperately wanted Josiah’s grandmother’s attention, cleared her throat and put a piece of meatball on Josiah’s grandmother’s plate. “Grandma, have some of this.”
“Ah, thank you.” Josiah’s grandmother had finally paid her some attention. Smiling while studying Ysabelle, she said, “You’re Ysabelle, right? You look pretty, dear. But what a pity that you’re Meredith’s sister, if not, you’d be quite a perfect fit with our Josiah.”
Josiah’s grandmother sounded as if she was praising Ysabelle but she was actually implying that Ysabelle could forget about marrying into the Shelby family.
Inwardly, Ysabelle seethed, ‘That darn old lady.’
But Ysabelle remained with a smile on her face. “Granny, even though I am Meredith’s sister, I was brought up differently compared to her. I could never do something as heinous as she did.”
Josiah’s grandmother nodded. “Mm, you’re right.”
Right when Ysabelle was getting pleased, Josiah’s grandmother added, “But people will talk if Josiah were to marry both the Leighton sisters. Never mind then, I’ll not try to match the both of you together.”
She then said to Josiah, “Listen to me. Don’t you even think of falling for Ysabelle, do you hear me?”
