Chapter 458
After a round of passionate and steamy kisses, Josiah’s voice turned hoarse as he whispered,” I’ll let you go this
time since you’re pregnant.”
Meredith noticed how Josiah was not satisfied and that he wanted more. Confused, she asked, “Joe, why are you
torturing yourself when you know that I’m pregnant? Isn’t it hard for you?”
“It is.”
“What do we do then?”
“Why not help me instead?”
“I don’t want to always let you have your way,” Meredith clicked her tongue, looked away, and said, “what if you
want more than just kissing every night? I’ll probably die of exhaustion then,”

“You’re right, I shouldn’t overwork a pregnant lady.” Josiah nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll control myself.”
“Thank you, my love,” She then kissed him on his cheeks and said, “have a goodnight.”
Josiah was silent.
For some reason, he felt even unbearable after being comforted by her.
It was the weekend and Meredith had woken up early.
She thought of making breakfast for Josiah as it had been a while since she made breakfast for him. But she was
chased out of the kitchen by Lily.
The reason being that she was pregnant and she should be nowhere near the kitchen.
Of course, Meredith was aware of this after reading so many articles on the internet.
She decided to give up on cooking and went to the garden to water the plants instead. She was squatting down in
front of the rose bushes as her gaze was fixed on them, watching the roses swaying with the wind. She only came
back to her senses when she heard Josiah’s voice. “Why are you up this early?”

She turned around to see Josiah who was standing tall amongst the flower bushes. She asked,” Joe, why is it that
the roses are not fully bloomed yet?” “Perhaps it’s because spring isn’t here yet?” Josiah too was looking at the rose
bushes and added subconsciously, “Don’t worry, they will bloom.” “Do you really think so? How are you so sure?”
“Because I will not let them die and wither away.”
Every time he saw the rose plant, he would be reminded of Nia who was suffering in pain.
That was why he seldom checked on the rose bushes.
Meredith, on the other hand, would check on the rose plant every day. She was not really fond of the rose plant at
first but now she grew fond of them and hoped that the flowers would bloom soon.
It was as if the rose bushes somehow meant something to her.
“Let’s head in and have breakfast.” Josiah bent over and pulled her up from the ground.

Meredith swept Snowie into her arms, ruffled its fur, and said, “Let’s go and eat!” Snowie howled and leaped off
from her arms.
Meredith sighed as she watched Snowie running away from her. “Joe, why is it that even Snowie doesn’t like me?”
“Snowie is timid,” Josiah replied.
Josiah thought of getting a new dog for Meredith but she was not willing to let Snowie go.
“Besides, you’re pregnant now. You shouldn’t get too close with pet dogs or even cats.” “Why? Not even just
hugging them?” “Pets are full of bacteria. You’d understand after you finish going through the books that you got
yesterday.” “I can already see that my days are going to be boring.” “Who said so?” Josiah opened his arms wide
and said to her, “You can always hug me.”
Meredith went into his arms and sulked, “But it’s different, you won’t be able to stay next to me every minute of the
day.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll try to make more time for you.”
“It’s okay.” Meredith felt bad that Josiah was easily convinced. She looked at him and said,” Joe, I’m happy that you
prioritize me but you should focus more on your work. I don’t want you to put aside your work because of me.”
