CHAPTER 482
“It tastes the same but it doesn‘t taste as delicious as it did before. Could it be that your cooking skills got affected because of your injury?” Josiah added, “Edith, let the chef prepare our food the next time.”
Looking devastated, Meredith stared at him and asked, “Joe, do you not like my cooking anymore?”
He had been enjoying her cooking all these while and had praised her cooking too. But all he did was complain about her cooking today. “It could be that I‘m injured and I become a bit pickier with the food.” Josiah leaned into her and kissed Meredith on the forehead. “Sorry, I didn‘t mean to hurt you. Don‘t be mad, hmm?”
Even though she felt a bit wronged, Meredith responded, “I’m not mad, just a bit disappointed.”
“Don‘t be disappointed, Edith. It‘s my problem, not yours.” Since the kiss did not work on her, Josiah pulled her into his arms and said, “Once I recover and get better, my appetite will come back and I would certainly crave your cooking.”
Meredith nodded.
She hoped that it was really because he was sick and did not have much of an appetite.
Whilst Meredith was drowning in her sadness, Josiah was secretly tugging at the corners of his lips.
For the sake of stopping Meredith from cooking for him, Josiah could only come up with such a plan.
Right when he felt relieved, Josiah suddenly remembered what Meredith said to him the other day, ‘Don‘t lie to me, if not, I’ll cut ties with you.’
Josiah knew that he had lied to her again.
But quickly, he comforted himself that he was lying to her for her sake.
“Edith, let‘s continue eating.” Josiah patted her back.
“But the dishes don‘t taste good today. I‘ll have Lily make them for you again.”
“It‘ll take too long then. And we agreed that we won‘t waste food, right?” Josiah started eating using his uninjured hand.
Josiah thought that Meredith‘s cooking tasted good as usual.
Hence, he could not bring himself to throw away the food. Seeing how he was eating away deliciously, Meredith asked, puzzled, “I thought you said it didn‘t taste good?”
“Because you made it. Even if it doesn‘t taste good, I‘ll finish it deliciously.” Josiah pointed at the dishes and asked, “Are you hungry? Don’t you want to eat some!”
“I‘ve eaten at home,” Meredith took the spoon from his hand and said, “here, let me feed you.
Josiah did not reject her and accepted her offer this time. After the meal, Meredith put away the cutleries and lunchboxes. Belongs © to .
She then sat by the bed and was flipping through a book. “Joe, lie down and get some rest. I‘ll read you a story, okay?” “What story?”
“A normal one, about love,” She then asked, “do you think that it‘s boring?”
“Not really,” He replied, “but these days we have audio books, right? You don‘t have to read them out aloud.”
“It‘s alright, I have nothing else to do anyway.”
“Alright then.” Josiah slowly closed his eyes.
The story was about a love story between a rich man and a kindergarten teacher. Josiah did not find the story particularly interesting but he was allured by Meredith‘s soft and gentle voice.
After finishing the story, Meredith asked, “Joe, since I‘m not pregnant now, can I go back to
work?”
Josiah could not think of any excuse to stop her so he simply nodded. “That‘s great! I can see Caden again,” Meredith exclaimed happily, leaned into him, and kissed him on the cheek before moving on to another story.
