Chapter 771
“Edith…”
Meredith came to a halt in her steps, turned around, and looked at Josiah who looked defeated. She then asked,
“Are you still having trouble sleeping at night?” She then reached into her bag and took out a bottle of perfume.
Putting the bottle in front of him, she said, “This is my last gift for you. Take it as a parting gift, if you will. I hope you
like
She then walked out the door in rushed steps.
It was only when Meredith had completely disappeared from his sight, that Josiah then turned to look at the bottle
of perfume in his hand.

It was the perfume that Meredith’s company had launched earlier today. He removed the packaging and sniffed the
perfume. The look on his face changed gradually. It was the smell of Meredith – the smell that he had always been
obsessed with.
Back then, he would always think that Meredith used this perfume to seduce him so that he would yearn for her.
But he did not expect that the perfume was formulated by Meredith’s mother and it was a perfume made
exclusively for her.
A memory suddenly flashed across his mind.
Back then when he fell into the water and nearly drowned, there was a little girl who jumped into the water to save
him and the girl had this smell on her.
So who was it that had saved him back?
Was it really Yena?

Back in her place, Yena was playing with her pet. When she heard car engine sounds coming from her porch, Yena
looked out.
She was just wondering who would stop their car in front of her house when she saw Josiah getting down from his
car.
Yena was excited to see him and was about to go welcome him when she came to an abrupt stop in her steps.
She did not want Josiah to think that she still yearned for him, and she did not want Josiah to keep resenting her.
Besides, she guessed that it might not be a good thing that Josiah was here to see her right when Meredith had
returned to the country.
She composed herself before walking out to greet Josiah. “Sir, what are you doing here?” She asked with a smile on
her face. “Sir, I went to a class…”
“You don’t have to report to me,” Josiah cut her off coldly and went on, “I already said that

you are free to live your own life and that I won’t ask anything.” Hearing the coldness lamented in his voice, Yena
asked carefully, “Sir, I saw on the news that Meredith is back in the country. Shouldn’t you be happy? Why…are you
feeling moody?”
Indeed, Meredith had returned.
But Josiah would rather Meredith stay abroad than come back. When she was nowhere to be found, at least he was
able to hold onto hope. But now that she was back, the first thing she did was to cut ties with him, that Nia had
already forgotten about him, and that she was going to marry Charlie Larson.
Josiah had no plans of confiding in Yena because he had deemed her unworthy.
“Miss Yena, have you tried the perfume that Meredith had launched?”
“No, not yet,” Yena smiled and went on, “I know that the Leightons have always been in the perfume market but I
didn’t expect Meredith to take over her mom’s skills and she too is starting to sell perfume.” 1 Josiah handed her a
bottle of perfume and said, “Try it and tell me if this feels familiar to you.”
