Chapter 1025 Meredith did not know that Josiah had been watching her while leaning against the back of the couch
and holding a cup. After she was done tidying up the clothes, she turned around and saw him, and then she said in
passing, “Mister Josiah, I‘ll put your clothes here. You may first take a shower.”
Josiah took a glance at the clothes that she neatly placed on the rack and nodded gently
He stood up straight and walked toward her while reaching out to his arm.
He wanted to gently put her in his arms, but he was afraid she would be frightened and run away. Therefore, he
could only move slowly, held her wrist gently, and pulled her over to sit on the couch, then said, “Edith, you‘re tired
after a long day. Hurry up and have a seat to just rest for a while.” As expected, even if he only held her wrist
gently, she also felt uncomfortable. After she broke free from his hand indifferently, she said, “I‘m not tired.”
“I‘ll look after Nia. You may first go and take a shower.” “I‘ll take a shower later after I‘ve returned to the room next
door,” said Meredith with estrangement. “You should shower here. I’ll go to the room next door in a while,” said

Josiah. The room they were in was the master bedroom of the mansion, which was also the most luxurious and the
beast room.
The last time they came, they were still sleeping on the same bed. However, things were different this time.
Since they could not sleep together, of course, he would not hog the master bedroom.
Meredith did not refuse either. She took her pajamas and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
After she was done showering, she changed into the new pajamas and came out with water still dripping from her
hair.
Josiah immediately got a hairdryer and wanted to help her blow dry her hair, but he was rejected by her. “Mister
Josiah, I can manage these kinds of trivial matters on my own,” said Meredith, and then she added while staring
straight at him, “There‘s no need for you to care for me so much in everything. It‘s inappropriate.”
“Edith,” Josiah breathed in silently and helplessly, and then said, “Charlie is not here anymore. I should take care of
you properly. Other than you, I won‘t ever care for another woman anymore in this life.”
“I am Charlie‘s wife,” Meredith said calmly, “and it hasn‘t been that long since he passed away. We really shouldn‘t

be so close to each other.”
“Here you go again, Edith.”
“Mister Josiah, I only want to be myself.”
“It‘s Charlie‘s dying wish for you to accept my care and protection. If you really want to be yourself to show it to
Charlie and let him not be worried, then don‘t push me away.” Josiah still could not hold himself back in the end and
put her in his embrace.” Edith, let‘s let Charlie be at ease together.” Meredith‘s mind gradually began to be a
mess.
Would Charlie truly want to see her being together with Josiah?
Perhaps it was true judging from how Charlie had behaved in those days before he passed away. However, Charlie
hated Josiah to the bones. It was also true that he did not want to see the image of her being together with Josiah.
She was already a little confused as to what Charlie was truly thinking. At that very moment, she felt it was best for

her to stay a little further away from Josiah.
She pushed herself away from him with all her might.
“Josiah! Please don’t do things that cross the line like this to me anymore!” She threatened him furiously,
“Otherwise, I Will hate you!”
A sense of pain flashed across Josiah‘s heart, and then he silently took a step back.
“I‘m sorry.” He gloomily took a step back.
Meredith realized that her tone earlier was a little harsh. She breathed in softly and said, “As long as you don‘t
touch me again in the future, you won‘t have to say sorry to me.” “Alright. I will do my best to control myself in the
future.” Josiah then picked up the hairdryer and said, “Come over here. I‘ll help you blow dry your hair.
Meredith was at a loss for words.
Was this man doing it deliberately or did he subconsciously think that it was only natural for him to be close to her?
Was helping her to blow dry her hair not an intimate thing to do?
