Chapter 381 Josiah made breakfast.
Placing two breakfast trays on the table, he decorated them with a few flower petals.
“Try it.” He made an openly inviting gesture at her. Meredith picked up the petals with her fingers. She chuckled and said, “Joe, how could you be so cruel in destroying the flowers. They are ruined that way.”
Josiah looked at Meredith’s pitiful gaze. He could not help but be amused. That flower was very common and was blooming all over the resort. He merely picked a few petals.
His wife was too kindhearted.
Josiah placed his hands on the table, leaned in, and kissed her on the lips. “I could only sacrifice them to make you happy. Go on. Try some and see how it tastes.” He nudged a piece of bacon to her lips.
Meredith opened her mouth and ate the piece of bacon. She nodded. “It’s good.”
“Are you sure?”
Josiah has already tried it a moment ago. It was a little salty.
However, Meredith continued nodding. “Whatever you make will be great, Joe.” Just like how he always said that whatever she cooked up would be tasty.
Josiah was encouraged. He smiled lightly and said, “Since you’re so supportive, Mrs. Shelby, I’ll try again next time. I’ll improve my cooking.”
“No need.”
“Why? Don’t you want to eat my breakfast?”
“No. I just think…” Meredith thought for a while before saying, “I just think that you’re busy working, Joe. It’s great enough that you return home every day to spend time with me. You don’t need to waste time making food for me.”
“But I’m willing to do it.” “No.” Meredith shook her head. “I should still make food for you, Joe.” Josiah could only give in to her, seeing her insistence on this matter. He returned to his seat when he heard her mutter softly, “Actually, I want to go to work too.”
“What? What did you say?” Josiah looked up at her.
“I said, I want to go to work too. I want to have friends as well.”
Josiah was speechless. Seeing the eagerness in her eyes, he did not know what to say.
With her current mental condition, she could barely live independently, let alone go to work.
Of course, even if her mental condition was not the problem, he would not want her to show herself in public in case she bumped into people that she knew from the past and started to reineinber about the traurnatic incidents.
Once the idea of work arose in her, it was hard to suppress it. Meredith mustered up her courage and looked at Josiah seriously. “Joe, I really want to work.
Can I?”
“Edith…” Josiah said gently, “Do you know how tough it is to work? Also, we are not short of money. Why do you want to work?” “Because I don’t want to just stay at home and play with Snowie every day. It gets boring.” “But have you thought of what you could work as?” “I…” Meredith has never thought about what she could do. She asked curiously, “Joe, what did I use to work as in the past?” Five years ago, she was still studying. Later, to raise Nia, her main job was as a doctor in a hospital. She has also done all sorts of part-time work such as being a club hostess. “You used to teach others the piano. Can you still play it?” Josiah said something that was most unlikely to happen.
“I can…try?”
Meredith walked over to the piano by the window wall. She sat down on the piano bench and uncovered the piano. She placed her fingers on the keys and elegant music instantly flowed from her.
Josiah’s gaze darkened.
Although she seemed to have lost her memories, some of her memories are still very deeply embedded in her.
After playing a passage, Meredith stood up and smiled at him. “Joe, I can. Does that mean I can teach little children piano?”.
