CHAPTER 1197
Josiah knew that every time she thought of herself, it was her time to settle old scores. He helplessly sighed and said, “Edith, canyon not think about it anymore?”
“I’m thinking back to how I forced you to marry me back then. Ivy is the same right now. Turns out, forcing someone to marry you is such an annoying thing to do.”
Meredith smiled bitterly and said, “No wonder I will end up in that position.”
“No. You’re different compared to Ivy,” Josiah said.
“How so?”
“Although back then Grandma forced me to marry you, I wasn’t really against it. I didn’t have a girl that I liked back then. I thought no matter what, marrying a wife is just a duty in life. It did not matter who it was.
“As for Ivy and I…it was purely an accident. I can’t even recall how I followed her into a room.”
Josiah’s tone was extremely sincere, yet Meredith thought nothing of it. From her view, he was still being forced to do something. He also cheated.
In the end, she used her most-used phrase to sum things up, ” Forget about it. It’s all in the past.”
Josiah looked at her coldly and said, “But I quite like seeing you being jealous because of me.”
Meredith glared at him. “I said I’m not.”
“Okay. Whatever you say.” Josiah hugged her in his arms once more. “It’s late. We should go to bed.”
Meredith wanted to struggle, but Josiah threatened in her ears. “If you’re going to move again, I’m going to do the things that you don’t want to do the most to you.”
“How dare you.”
“Ask it whether it dares to or not.” Josiah grabbed her hand toward his lower body.
Meredith instantly retracted her hands as if she had touched something burning, she said curtly, “Josiah, you’re…shameless!”
“We’re a couple in bed. What is there to be embarrassed about?”
“Who are you calling a couple?”
“Didn’t we say that already? Once I marry Ivy, you’ll be my lover.”
“You can dream on!”
“If you don’t want to, it’s fine. I can be your lover too.” Josiah was shameless. “As long as I can be with you, I don’t mind if you are my sugar mommy.”
Meredith looked at Josiah. She found it hard to believe that this man was usually cold and heartless during the day and that he was the terrifying Mister Josiah Shelby who everyone was afraid of.
If his subordinates were to know about his character in bed, their jaws would drop.
Meredith could not win over him, so she decided to let it go first.
She could see that he was insistent on not letting her go. she shut her eyes and subconsciously said, “I should not have been worried that you’ll be cold.”
If she did not give him an extra cover, she would be long asleep in her own bed already.
Josiah heard her murmurs. He smiled and said, “I told you before that kind hearted people will be taken advantage of. Now, do you believe me?”
That was right. Meredith completely believed him at that moment.
Thankfully, Josiah’s hands did not wander around. He merely hugged her to sleep.
However, they just quieted down when his phone rang.
The only person that would call him at this hour…Meredith’s first guess was Ivy. she kicked him on the legs. “Your fiancee is calling you to go home. Pick up the phone.”
Josiah lowered his head and looked at her. “Are you sure you want me to pick it up?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“What is there to be unsure about?” Meredith said with a feigned disdain.
To show that she did not mind one bit, she even took his phone from the nightstand for him.
Sure enough, it was Ivy. Josiah hesitated before accepting the call.
