Chapter 114
Staring at the door that Liam closed behind him, Josiah was simmering in annoyance. The next morning, Meredith was already working on the chores. She started making breakfast at half–past six in the morning after finishing her cleaning chores.
At seven sharp, Josiah had come downstairs to have breakfast.
Meredith was startled to see Liam alongside Ysabelle and Josiah. Liam of course had noticed her. Flashing a bright smile at her, he greeted, “Morning, Edith.”
Meredith instinctively avoided his gaze.
It was not because she was embarrassed, it was simply because she did not wish to anger Josiah again. After all, Josiah was already infuriated by what happened between her and Liam last night. “Oh, I didn’t know that Mister Liam knows my sister,” Ysabelle jokes, “this explains why my sister blushed when she saw you.” “Not only do we know each other, but we’ve also even attended wine tasting events together. “Alongside Ysabelle, Liam too decided to trigger Josiah.
Seeing how Josiah’s face was overcast and gloomy, Ysabelle and Liam were secretly joyous.
Staring at the table of food, Liam exclaimed, “Goodness, look at all this food. Edith, did you make all of this on your own? My my, you’re not only gorgeous but you can cook well too.” “Thank you for the compliment, Mister Liam.” Meredith desperately wanted to seal his lips. She really did not want to be Josiah’s punching bag anymore. “Which part of her is pretty?” Glancing at Meredith’s scarred face, Josiah sneered, “I’m afraid you’ve got to get your eyes checked, my friend.” Unbothered, Liam shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Edith was really pretty back then. Even if her face is scarred, she is still prettier than most of the ladies and that’s alright, I don’t mind.”
Josiah’s face darkened once more.
Ysabelle, on the other hand, would not give up on the chance to add oil to the fire. “Seems like Mister Liam is really fond of my sister. It is no wonder you insisted on staying here instead of staying at a hotel.”
“Miss Ysabelle, are you referring to yourself?” Liam flashed a wink at Ysabelle and added, “. Aren’t you the same? You’re staying here for Josiah, aren’t you?”
“I…” Ysabelle stuttered. Forcing a smile, she added, “Oh Mister Liam, you shouldn’t joke about this. I’m simply here to take care of Yena.”
“Ahh, I see. Alright then.” Liam nodded and was about to start eating. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hold on!” Josiah took away Liam’s plate and said to Lily, “Lily, please make an omelet for
Liam.” “Why? I want to try Edith’s pancakes.” Liam refused. “Meredith is my servant, not yours.” With a straight face, Josiah started eating his pancakes. Liam of course knew that Josiah did it on purpose, hence he pointed at Ysabelle and said,” Then why is that she can eat what Edith had prepared?”
Ysabelle took a quick glance at Josiah and said to Liam, “Have you forgotten that Meredith is my sister?” “Oh…right.” Liam nodded as he fixed his gaze on Ysabelle.
Ysabelle felt chills running down her spine. She then quickly said to Meredith, “Sis, you should eat with us too.” Meredith had no intention of putting on a show with her and headed outside to clean the front yard.
“Josiah, aren’t you being too cruel to Edith? She had just prepared breakfast and you expect her to go back to her chores right away? How could she possibly withstand all this work?” “She still needs to do the laundry and take care of Yena after this. Do you have a problem with that?”
“You…” Liam retorted angrily, “Of course, I have a problem with you torturing my dream girl!
“So? It’s not like I’d give a damn.” Josiah replied. In the meantime, Lily had finished making Liam’s food. The more that Liam thought about how Josiah was treating Meredith, the more he wanted to take his revenge on Josiah.
