Chapter 649
The moment Meredith was hugged by him, her body froze instantly, and she said coldly,” Josiah, did you forget everything you promised me?” “I didn’t forget.” A mellow voice sounded from the back of her neck. He said, “Edith, I just wanted to sleep with you in my arms like this, and I won’t do anything to you.”
Just like that? What a liar!
Meredith did not move, but she could feel her body reacting as he hugged her tightly.
She moved away from him to the other side of the big bed.
Josiah ignored her and closed his eyes. Meredith could not believe that he had given up on her, but she was still vigilant and was prepared to deal with his aggression at any time. It was not until his breathing gradually calmed down that she turned her head to see that he had fallen asleep, much to her relief. It was a peaceful night. When Meredith woke up the next day, Josiah was no longer in bed. Meredith listened carefully and heard Nia’s laughter from downstairs, mixed with Josiah’s voice. She got up from the bed, washed up, and went downstairs, only to find Josiah busy in the kitchen.
Meredith took a closer look and noticed that breakfast was already served. The cooking was done by an amateur, and it was pretty clear who prepared breakfast. Nia was wearing a beautiful dress like a princess, sitting on a high chair with her calves dangling, mocking mercilessly, “Daddy, your little yellow duck is so ugly!”
Josiah looked at his masterpiece and corrected her a little disappointedly. “This is a peacock fanning its tail feathers.”
“Peacocks aren’t that ugly. Peacocks are gorgeous!”
“Well, you could see it as a peacock whose feathers have been plucked.” Josiah pushed the food to her. “It might be ugly, but it is delicious. Have a bite.”
Nia looked at the plate’s contents and said sweetly, “Daddy, Mommy told me a story about the ugly peacock.”
