Chapter 257Chapter 257
Josiah’s grandmother was rather displeased with the fact that the mother of her great-grandchild was
not only a hostess at a club but her face was also scarred.
But she had to swallow down her dissatisfaction for the sake of her great grandchild. Josiah’s
grandmother then signaled the team of medical staff who was on stand-by to get Meredith’s blood.
After taking Meredith’s blood, Josiah then said to his grandmother, “Grandma, you still want to shop
around, right? You can head upstairs to continue your shopping spree, I’ll leave with Merelyn now.”
“Go, go,” Josiah’s grandmother replied flatly.
novelbinJosiah secretly felt relieved. He gave an eye to Meredith, signaling for her to leave with him.
Meredith, however, pretended as if she did not see him. She walked over to Josiah’s grandmother with
a smile on her face and said, “Ma’am, I know this mall quite well. Let me show you around.”
Josiah did not expect that Meredith would make such a suggestion. He cleared his throat to warn her.
Josiah’s grandmother wanted to reject Meredith’s offer because she cared about her reputation. She
did not need a hostess from a nightclub to go shopping with
her.
But upon seeing Josiah’s anxious expression, Josiah’s grandmother changed her mind.
“That’d work. Penny is exhausted from all the shopping with me and I need someone to accompany me
as well,” Josiah’s grandmother smiled and said, “let’s go then.”“Hold on, Grandma. If you need someone to accompany you, I can ask Yoseph to come over,” Josiah
said and then turned to look at Meredith, “Merelyn, have you forgotten that the doctor said you
shouldn’t be moving around too much?”
Meredith flashed a smile at him. “Don’t worry about me, Sir. The doctor said that
I’ve recovered and I am allowed to move around.”
“Come with me for a sec.” Josiah dragged her into a private room, pushed her against a wall, and
seethed, “May I know what is it that you’re doing right now?
Have you forgotten about our promise?” “I didn’t,” Meredith shook her head, looking all innocent. “I
simply thought of accompanying your grandmother.”
“Return to where you should be and don’t you dare show up in front of Grandma
again.”
Josiah’s grandmother placed her ear against the door and overheard their conversation. Upon knowing
that Josiah was determined to kick her out, she got even more curious about their relationship.
Opening the door, Josiah’s grandmother pulled into a wide grin and said, “Are you guys done? If so,
come on now, Merelyn. Let’s go shopping.”
Josiah had no choice but to let go of Meredith. He then said, “Grandma , let me shop with you instead.”
“No need for that. I don’t want to shop with someone as impatient as you. I want Merelyn to accompany
me.” Josiah’s grandmother pulled Merelyn toward her and said, “Let him be. Let’s go, shall we?”
“Sure, ma’am.” Meredith took a glance at Josiah and then left with Josiah’s grandmother.
Josiah felt a surge of anxiousness welling up in him.He was worried that Meredith was up to something.
When he returned to his office, he found Ysabelle who was sitting inside.
Knitting his brows into a frown, he asked, “What are you doing here?”
Ysabelle put down the magazine in her hand and smiled as she walked toward him. “I heard that you
went out with your grandmother and I thought that I could accompany her if she wants to shop around.”
“It’s fine. Meredith is with her.”
At the thought of Meredith being with his grandmother, Josiah was irked. He then seethed, “You should
probably leave, I have a lot of work to attend to.”
Ysabelle froze.
Meredith was shopping with Josiah’s grandmother? What if she told Josiah’s grandmother about
everything...?
