Chapter 439Chapter 439
The next day, Meredith did not even cook him breakfast.
When Josiah went downstairs, seeing Lily busy in the kitchen, he asked suspiciously, “Where‘s
Meredith?”
Lily stared at him a little worriedly and said, “Sir, Mrs. Shelby seems to be in a bad mood, so she didn‘t
even bother to make breakfast for you.”
“Where is she?”
“She‘s tending to the garden in the backyard.” Lily pointed to the direction of the backyard.
Josiah turned around and walked toward the back garden. From a distance, he could see Meredith
crouching in the grass, waving a small shovel on the ground, and when he got closer, he realized that
she was loosening the soil for rose flowers. “Edith, why do you get up so early?” Josiah walked to her
side and squatted down, pointing to the ground that had been dug loose. “The soil is already loose. If
you dig any further, the flowers might die.” “Don‘t worry about it!” Meredith shifted her body and turned
her back to him. Josiah followed her to the other side. “I thought that you don‘t like roses anymore? Do
you like them again?” She did not loosen the soil for the other plants, only for the roses from the
hospital. Could it be that she already remembered something? Was she subconsciously remembering
what the roses meant to her and Nia? Roses do not grow well, just like Nia. Josiah had hired special
gardeners to take care of the roses before, but there was still no improvement.
Meredith knew that Josiah liked these roses, but she thought that Josiah just liked roses in general.
As for why Josiah liked this rose in particular, she never thought about it.novelbin“Edith, I‘m hungry.” Josiah stretched out his hand to hold the shovel in her hand. He stared at her and
said, “Will you make me breakfast?”
She liked to cook him breakfast in the past, and also liked to watch him eat the breakfast she made
“I don‘t want to!” Meredith squinted her face and said angrily, “Josiah, I‘m really angry, I‘m not kidding.
People who are angry don‘t like to make breakfast.”
“Then tell me, how can I appease you?”
“Tell me about the past.” Meredith stared at him. “I only want to listen to the truth.”
“Edith...”
“Don‘t call me like that.” She interrupted him.
Every time he called her Edith, he would say sweet things to her again. She did not want to hear sweet
words now, she just wanted to hear about her past. The truth. Josiah took a breath and cupped her little
face with both hands. “Edith, if I tell you the truth, you will lose me, are you okay with that?”
“...” Meredith was speechless.
A trace of expectation appeared in his heart. He said, “You don‘t want to lose me, right? That‘s
because we are so in love and so happy, right?”
“What if I said I would?”
Now, it was Josiah‘s turn to be silent.
Meredith stared at him and said solemnly, “Joe, I already said last night that I don‘t want to be a
thoughtless puppet. I love you so much, I won‘t leave you just because of some old things in the past. IfI really leave you after hearing about my past, then you must have committed a serious wrong, like
murder or arson.” Her eyes became serious little by little as she said, “Have you ever done any of these
things to me? I‘m sure you haven‘t.”
