Chapter 464
“I see that you like drawing landscapes of mountains and oceans, so I got someone to add them to the chocolates. Do you like them?”
“I do!” Meredith could not put down the chocolates. “If that‘s the case, they had to make an entirely new mold, right? You must have spent a lot of money, right?”
“Not really, about one hundred thousand dollars,”
“One hundred thousand dollars?!” Meredith immediately put back the cover of the box and stared at him with her eyes wide opened. “Joe, are you out of your mind? Why would you spend one hundred thousand dollars on a box of chocolate?”
“What‘s wrong with that?”
“Why would you spend such a big amount of money on this?” Meredith started lecturing him, “I thought I told you that we are going to have a child soon and that we have to start saving up money? You can‘t go around spending money like this.” “Really? Did you?” Josiah leaned into her and chuckled, “When did you say this? Why don‘t I remember it?”
“I told you yesterday.”
“Really? Then I must have forgotten about it.”
“You...” Meredith was getting a bit mad. “You are getting on my nerves.”
Inwardly, Josiah felt extremely happy but he put on a solemn expression and said, “Alright, alright, I‘m sorry. I promise that I won‘t spend money as I please now. I will start to save money to take care of you and our child.”
“But I got this chocolate custom made for you before you got pregnant. I know you might think that I‘m wasting money but would you please accept my gift?”
He opened the box of chocolate, put them in front of Meredith, and added, “Look at this, are you really willing to let this chocolate go to waste?”
“Can‘t we return this?”
“How can we return something that was custom–made? You even said to yourself that they had to create a new mold.”
