Chapter 412
Josiah inhaled. He suppressed his annoyance and said, “Mrs. Shelby, take some fish for me.” She used to be the one who placed lood on his plate. Meredith looked at him curiously. “Joe, what’s going on with you?” Why was he being so troublesome? Josiah raised his eyebrows and asked, “Mrs. Shelby, I should be the one asking you what is going on with you? Just because you have a child you no longer want your husband, is that it?”
She was already like that with another person’s child. He could not imagine if Nia were to come back, his position in her heart would be even worse than the weed growing by the side of the door.
At that thought, he was worried! “Caden is still young. Today is his first day here. Of course, I have to take good care of him.” Meredith did not think of it as a problem. “Because it’s his first day, right?” Josiah nodded. “Okay, I’ll bear with you for one day.” Then, he took the fish himself and ate them. The fish tasted worse than usual. He did not know if it was because it had been out for a long time or because she did not put the fish on his plate for him. After two bites, he has lost all appetite. “Joe, are you full already?” Meredith saw him getting up. She saw the plate of food which he barely touched “I’m full of anger,” Josiah spat and headed upstairs. Caden asked in confusion, “Miss Leighton, is he mad?” “Don’t worry about him. He will calm down soon,” Meredith said confidently. Previously, whenever he got angry, all she needed to do was to kiss and coax him. She believed that it would be the same that time too.
After dinner, Meredith took Caden to play in the garden for a while. Then, she accompanied him in reading an illustrated book before helping him get showered and changing him into new clothes.
The new clothes fit him. It looked good on him too. Meredith was delighted. “I picked these pajamas for you. Do you like it?” “I do, thank you, Miss Leighton.”
“That’s good.”
