Chapter 372
He walked into the bedroom to see Meredith who was scrolling on the internet using a tablet.
He caught a glimpse of the keyword in the search bar and he realized that Meredith was trying to gather information about her past.
“You‘re home, Joe,” Meredith pressed the tablet against her chest, looked at him and asked,” were you drinking? You reek of alcohol.”
“Mm, just a little.”
Josiah sat down on the couch, lifted Meredith onto his lap, took the tablet from her hands, put it aside, and started kissing her.
“Did you miss me?” He asked.
Meredith felt confused again.
His movements were so natural as if they were a happily married couple.
Meredith wondered if Josiah‘s love for her was real.
But at the thought of Yena who was laying in the hospital bed, Meredith shook away her thoughts.
“Joe, there‘s a strong perfume smell on you,” Meredith said, leaning into his arms.
Josiah kissed the top of her head and said, “I was seduced by a witch in the car earlier.
That‘s how I got the perfume smell on me.
I‘ll take a shower to get rid of it.” “Witch? Who is it?” Meredith asked.
“Someone that I know.
She wanted to seduce me.”
“Oh.”
Josiah stared at her dazed face and said, “Aren‘t you angry that she‘s trying to steal your husband?”
“She wants to steal you from me? of course I‘ll be mad,” Meredith wrapped her arms around his shoulders and went on, “Joe, you promised that you won‘t get close with other women, and I too promised that I‘ll do the same.” “I did.
And that is why I threw her out of the car.” “Really? So you guys did not get intimate?” “Of course not, but…”
Josiah did not finish his sentence which got Meredith curious.
