Chapter 232Chapter 232
“Get over here and eat,” Josiah ordered and walked toward the dining hall.
Meredith stood still Lily walked over to her and whispered, “Miss Meredith, hurry up and go eat. You
don’t want Sir to get unhappy.” Meredith then walked toward the dining hall.
The dining table was filled with dishes and some of the dishes were Meredith’s favorite.
Lily said to her, “I heard that Miss Meredith is pregnant so I’ve prepared several dishes that would be to
your liking.”
“Thank you, Miss Lily,” Meredith sat down opposite Josiah.
“Please enjoy your meal and let me know if you need me,” Lily then walked away.
Meredith looked at the delicious and scrumptious dishes on the table then took a glimpse at Josiah who
had already started eating. She hesitated for a while before finally eating.
Taking a piece of meatball, Meredith smelled it but did not take a bite.
Looking at how Meredith was being careful, Josiah arched his brow and asked, “Why? Are you worried
that I’d poison you?”
Meredith looked into his eyes and mocked, “You’re not the type to love your own children and I don’t
understand why you’re insisting that I stay here with you. I’d rather be more careful.”
There was a flicker across his eyes as Josiah’s gaze clouded. “You think that I’d poison you?” “Why do
you look surprised?” “Meredith Leighton,” Josiahs seethed, “let me tell you something. Even if I were to
poison you, I won’t do it behind your back.”Meredith thought that Josiah was actually right. Even the last time, Josiah had forced her to take the
pills to abort her baby in the open.
novelbinHence, Meredith started eating. Putting another piece of meatball into her plate, Josiah scoffed, “Giving
up this easily? I thought you’d insist on not eating.”
Meredith picked up the meatball that Josiah passed to her, looked into his eyes, and replied,” Josiah
Shelby, I will still send the video to your grandmother if my baby is gone, and I’m sure your
grandmother would seek justice for me.” “Are you threatening me?” “It’s a gentle reminder, not a
threat.” She then took a bite of the meatball. It was the first time that Josiah was being threatened by a
lady. His gaze grew colder and he soon lost his appetite.
He wanted her to stay at Shelby’s residence during her pregnancy? Meredith was worried that Josiah
had other plans instead.
If she were to move into his place, she would then have to follow his orders.
Meredith replied, “Josiah Shelby, I don’t want to stay at your place.” “This is my child’s home. You don’t
have to stay here, but the baby does.”
“Would you rather have my child stay in a hospital that is full of bacteria? What if anything happens to
my child? Will you be responsible for it?” Meredith started gnawing on her lips anxiously. How was she
supposed to work and save up money or even spend time with Nia if she were to stay at his place?
As if Josiah had read her mind, he added, “And, don’t even think of working when you’re carrying my
child. If you’re not capable of taking care of the child, you should just give up now.
Meredith smiled bitterly. All Josiah cared about was this child that she was carrying when he did not
even bat an eyelid when their daughter was suffering alone in the hospital.Meredith guessed that Josiah was not the type of person who would care about his own children.
At the end of the day, Meredith concluded that the reason why Josiah forced her to move back into the
Shelby residence was so that he could get rid of her child.
