She also remembered how Josiah was hiding behind his grandmother and was stealing glances at her shyly. He used to look at her shyly. But these days, he only looked at her with looks of disdain on his face.
“You were so adorable back then, like a little angel.” Crouching down in front of his bed, Meredith traced her fingers along his long eyelashes and sighed, “But since when did you grow up into being a devil?” Josiah, who felt someone touching him, frowned slightly and opened his eyes. Meredith was caught in the act. Her fingers froze in mid-air. “What are you doing?” Glancing at her, Josiah sounded irritated. With that cold tone of his, Josiah was indeed a devil. “I…” Meredith took back her hand and tried to explain, “Lily said that you rarely sleep in so I was just checking if you’re sick.” Meredith could not afford to let Josiah know that she was actually observing him in his sleep and had even touched him. This would only make Josiah hate her even more and would ruin her plan.
Josiah did not suspect anything. He took a glance at the clock on the wall to realize that it was already half-past seven.
Josiah thought that it was strange that he actually slept in.
After Meredith left last night, he had taken another cold shower to calm himself down.
And he soon fell asleep right after and he did not wake up in the middle of the night It seemed like her massage actually helped with getting rid of his insomnia.
The process was rather torturous for him as he was easily aroused by her.
“If you’re feeling okay, breakfast is already ready downstairs.” Meredith stood up, turned around, and headed for the door. Staring at her back, Josiah ordered, “Make me a cup of coffee.” Meredith stopped in her tracks, and turned her head to look at him. “Sir, it’s not good to drink coffee the first thing in the morning.” “Meredith Leighton, you can drop the act of being worried about me. I know that you want me
dead.” Staring at her, he added, “What you’re doing right now would only make me feel that you’re up to no good, and it’s disgusting.”
Hearing his remarks, Meredith did not say anything and headed downstairs to make him a cup of coffee.
Josiah sat up on his bed and noticed the vase of roses on his bedside table.
He was slightly startled. He then reached out his fingers to feel the rose petals.
Meredith loved roses. Back then when they were still together, she would always place a vase of roses in their bedroom and soon enough, he too was used to having roses in his room.
He was suddenly reminded of the familiar scene four years ago.
It was as if they were still newly-weds and Meredith was always coming up with new ways to please him.
But he would reject her every single time and whenever she turned around to leave, a smile would find its way to his face.
However, Meredith’s hideous and scarred face had jolted him back to reality, reminding him that it was her who had destroyed their peaceful time together four years ago
“Sir, your coffee is ready.” Meredith walked into the room with a cup of coffee in her hand and saw Josiah had his eyes fixed on the vase of roses. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
She felt something tugging at her heartstrings.
She was hoping that Josiah would remember something when Josiah suddenly threw the vase at her feet. “Meredith Leighton! Don’t you dare to bring these wildflowers into the house!”
He then bellowed, “And, get rid of all the rose bushes in the backyard. I don’t want to see any of them!” Meredith was taken aback by
