Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 315

“Let’s stick to Nia. I like the name.”

“Okay, whatever you say.”

Josiah touched his hair and realized that it was almost dry. He threw the towel aside and pressed Meredith on the bed. His large hand traveled up her legs.

Meredith widened her eyes in fear. “Joe, what are you doing?”

“We’re husband and wife. What else could we be doing?” Josiah kissed her on the lips. “Don’t tell me that you have also forgotten how to do such things?” Meredith’s face was hot, but she did not refuse him. She naturally accepted him, treating him as her husband whom she loved the most.

Thinking back about it, they have never been so harmonious in bed before. Four or five years back, it was a marriage of convenience for the family. Meredith liked Josiah a lot, but Josiah did not love her. He even hated the arranged marriage. Back then, although he was obsessed with her body, it was always her who initiated.

When they saw each other again, she hated him to the bone. Every time, he was the one that forced it on her.

Only this time, she was obedient, and he enjoyed it very much.

After the deed, Meredith lay in his arms and fell asleep soundly. Josiah, who usually could not sleep, soon fell asleep too.

However, not long after sleeping, he was once again awoken by Meredith’s screams.

“No! Let me out! Let me out!!”

Josiah woke in alarm. He switched on the lights to see Meredith waving her arms around while crying and shouting. Her face was already covered in tears.

She was having a nightmare. “Edith, wake up,” Josiah gently called out.

Meredith seemed to have not heard him. She continued yelling, “Let me out! Joe! Help me! Help me!” “Edith, I’m here.” Josiah grabbed her waving hands. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. “Don’t worry, I’m here.” “Joe…” As if she sensed his presence, Meredith slowly calmed down.

She gently opened her eyes. Through her tears, she could finally see Josiah’s handsome yet worried face.

“Joe, is that you?” She asked uncertainly, “Are you here to save me?”

“Yes, it’s me. I’m here to save you.”

Josiah wiped away her tears. “How about now? Could you see clearly now?”

She could. She was sure that it was Josiah.

“I…” She looked at him and said, “I had a scary dream. I dreamt that someone locked me up in a sea of fire. Then, my face was burned. Joe, was this how my face was ruined?”

Josiah hugged her in his arms and gently said, “No. It’s not like that. Don’t overthink.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Then, why would I have such a nightmare?”

“Because you like to overthink,” Josiah said, “don’t you know that what you think during the day will haunt you in your dreams? So, for you to not have nightmares anymore, you have to stop thinking

about how your face was ruined. Do you understand?” “I understand.”

Meredith cocked her head and thought out loud, “But the dream felt very real.”

“Enough. Stop talking about it.” Josiah sat up and looked at her. “Are you going to sleep? If not, let’s continue our bedtime activities.”

“No. I’m tired.” Meredith burrowed herself in his arms, hugging him. Josiah chuckled. He caressed her back with his huge palm. “Good girl, let’s go to bed.”
