Chapter 410
Meredith smiled at him when she saw him. She waved at him and said, “Joe, you’re back? Caden said he was hungry, so we started eating first. Come and eat with us.”
Josiah slowly walked over. He looked at the dishes on the table and teased, “You actually prepared mine too? Good that you remembered you have a husband that has not eaten.” “Of course, I prepared yours too.” Meredith pointed at the fish on the table. “See, this baked salmon is for you.” “But the baked salmon would only taste nice when it’s out of the oven. It won’t taste good being placed outside for a long time.” “Uh…” Meredith chuckled dryly, “It hasn’t been out for a long time. It’s barely been twenty minutes.”
“It’s cold.” His face darkened.
“It’s not cold. It’s still a little warm,” Meredith said after she touched it.
Josiah pulled a chair and sat down. He coolly said, “Great, Mrs. Shelby. It’s only the first day and you have already neglected your husband.” When he said that he looked at Caden by the side. When Caden met his eyes, he immediately buried himself in Meredith’s arms. Meredith hugged him and gently comforted him, saying, “Caden, don’t be afraid. He isn’t a bad person. He is just joking.” Then, she looked up and blamed Josiah, “Joe, you frightened Caden. Quickly apologize to him.” Josiah was speechless. What on earth had he done to deserve that? It was one thing to suddenly have another child at home. Even his wife was suddenly being taken away. When he returned home, he even had to eat cold food. “Quickly, apologize to him,” Meredith urged. Josiah looked at Caden in her arms. He sneakily peeked out from her arms, showing half of his face. He looked at Josiah with fear in his huge eyes. He did indeed look like he was frightened. Josiah cleared his throat and apologized reluctantly, “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made a fuss about the cold fish. I shouldn’t have complained.” Meredith lowered her head and looked at Caden in her arms. She said, “See, Caden, he is not a bad person, right? He apologized. Let’s continue eating, shall we?” Caden looked at Josiah a little before gently nodding. “Come. Let’s have some chicken wings.” Meredith passed Caden some wings. “If you like chicken wings, I’ll make them for you every day, how about that? I know how to make different flavors of chicken wings.” Caden nodded happily. “You make amazing chicken wings, Miss Leighton.”
“Is that so? Then, let’s have another one.” Meredith passed Caden another chicken wing.
