Chapter 663 “Josiah Shelby, I thought we agreed to put on a show when Nia is around but apart from that, we will stay out of each other’s businesses? And that we refrain from asking about each other’s life and work.” “Not only in front of Nia, but in the eyes of the public too,” Josiah tilted his head to look at her before adding, “for the sake of Nia’s wellbeing.” “Are you sure it’s for Nia?”
“If not?”
“Are you sure it’s not for your company?” “If you insist on thinking that way, fine. But you got one thing wrong. The Shelby Group also belongs to you and Nia. Hence, you also have a responsibility in protecting the company.”
Looking at Josiah’s side profile, Meredith felt bitterness welling up in her chest.
If she had not reminded herself over and over again about what Josiah had done to her, she would have fallen for his sugar-coated words again. And she would end up like how she did back then – naively seeing Josiah as the man she loved the most and as the man that she could rely on.
“What’s wrong?” Noticing the conflicted look on her face, Josiah asked, “Did I say something wrong?”
“Josiah Shelby, don’t you think what you’re doing is just ridiculous?” With a flat tone, Meredith went on, “You decided to hurt me and then you decide to give me the best medicine to heal my wounds. But do you know that there are wounds in this world that even the best medicine won’t be able to heal?”
Before Josiah could say anything, she added, “Keep these meaningless words to yourself. I am not interested at all.” Josiah finally replied, “But isn’t it worse if I don’t even try to heal you when I hurt you?”
“Edith, trust me. I will heal you just like how I managed to heal Nia.”
Josiah smiled confidently.
Meredith was suddenly at loss for words. Would she ever heal? Even Meredith did not believe that she could. “We’re here,” Josiah said.
