His face darkened a little at He sight of the cup of iced tea in her hands.
“Who bought the iced tea?”
The two servants immediately lowered their heads to avoid Josiah‘s sharp gaze.
Neither of them dared to utter a word.
Meredith turned around and stood up for them.” Joe, don‘t be mad at them.
I was the one who forced them to buy it for me.”
Josiah‘s expression softened a little.
Sitting down next to her, he said, “Didn‘t I say not to drink so much of these sugary drinks? Why is it
that you never listen to me?”
“But it tastes so good,” Meredith passed the iced tea to him, “here, try it for yourself.”
Josiah shook his head.
“I‘ll pass. I don‘t like iced tea.”
“Try it for me, hmm?” Meredith placed the straw closer to his lips and tried to convince him,” This shop
is famous for their iced tea.
It tastes really really delicious.”
In the end, Josiah took a sip of the iced tea.“So? How is it?” Meredith asked expectantly.
“Not bad.” Josiah was not at all interested in drinks like this but for the sake of Meredith, he nodded and
agreed with his wife.
“Told you so,” Meredith then urged him again, “here, try more of this, Joe.”
Josiah took another two sips and put down the cup on the table.
“There now. That‘s enough tea for today.
I‘m worried that you won‘t be able to sleep tonight.”
Meredith pursed her lips and sulked, “Coffee does the same to you too, isn‘t it? And I see that
you still drink coffee every day.”
“I need coffee to concentrate so that I can work better.”
“Coffee is not good for your health either.”
“You really want to finish the iced tea, don‘t you?” Josiah smiled helplessly and put the cup back into
her hands.
novelbin“Alright, drink it then.
Don‘t come complaining to me if you can‘t sleep at night.”
“Don‘t worry, I won‘t.” Meredith took a sip of the iced tea and was back in a good mood.
“You‘re so easy to please these days.“Just one cup of iced tea and look at you, wearing that big smile on your face.” “What do you mean?”
“Nothing.
I‘m just happy to see you this way and I hope that it‘ll be like this forever.” Josiah patted her on the top
of her head.
He hoped that Meredith would be able to stay happy and keep herself away from those feelings of
resentment and hatred.
“Aren‘t we supposed to take a stroll by the beach? Let‘s go.” Josiah changed the subject. “Now?”
“We’ll eat first before going.”
“Okay, give me a moment then.” Meredith put down the cup of iced tea and walked into the room.
She put on a sun hat and brought along a small basket with her.
“What‘s the basket for?” Josiah was puzzled.
“I heard that there‘ll be seashells on the beach.
I want to collect some of the sea shells and try to catch a few crabs.” Even though Josiah found those
childish, seeing how Meredith was excited, he agreed to her suggestions in the end.
“I‘ll hold it for you.” He reached out and took the basket in his hand.
It was not crowded at the beach.
Meredith had her arms linked with Josiah‘s as they strolled alongside the beach.
Feeling the soft sand underneath her feet, Meredith felt at ease.Staring at her eyes which were full of smiles, Josiah thought that girls enjoy doing things like this.
Meredith let go of his arms and ran toward a seashell that was laying amongst the sand.
She picked it up and showed it to Josiah.
“Look at this, Joe.” Josiah took a look at the seashell and smiled.
“There are a lot prettier seashells in those shops right there.
If you want, we could get some.” “Really? Do they have a lot?”
