Chapter 1239
Well, of course, Meredith did not make Josiah a cup of coffee, she warmed up the milk for him instead, when she
was about to leave the dining room, coincidentally, Mrs. Shelby left her bedroom.
From the look of it, Mrs. Shelby deliberately came to look for Meredith.
"Mrs. Shelby," Meredith greeted.
Mrs. Shelby glanced at the warm milk. Meredith could not help and gripped the tray tighter. The burn on her hand
had not recovered. It would be worth it if Mrs. Shelby knocked the warm milk and burnt her hand again.
"Put down the milk." Mrs. Shelby looked at the coffee table beside.
Meredith could only put down the warm milk and looked at her politely. "Mrs. Shelby, I know what you want to say to
me. But I've decided to follow Josiah and the kids back to Delmas Town.
Nothing you say could change my mind."
The anger sparked in Mrs. Shelby's heart because of what Meredith said. "Meredith Leighton, I see that you are

"Mrs. Shelby, Josiah has always been on my side." Meredith replied seriously, "The only reason I chose to back out is
because of Cooper's illness. But once I know how miserable Josiah was because of the marriage with Miss Landers,
I..."
"It's just an excuse!" Mrs. Shelby cut her off, "You don't have to pretend to be mighty in front of me when you are
just a slut! I despise you."
"Since this is what you think, then there's nothing else I need to explain," Meredith finished talking and was ready to
go upstairs with the warm milk.
"Do you think it's appropriate for Josiah to bring two women back to Delmas Town to celebrate the New Year? what
would the others talk of him?" Mrs. Shelby asked.
"Even if it is inappropriate, I shouldn't be the one who backs out of it. Isn't that what Miss Landers should do?"
Meredith paused," Unless Josiah marries her."
"You know, sooner or later both of them will get married," Mrs. Shelby counteracted.
"Then we could talk when they do." Meredith nodded at her. "Mrs. Shelby, I don't want to offend you but can you at
least be fair?
Treat me with a little respect."
Mrs. Shelby was lost in words.
"I'm sorry. I'm going upstairs." Meredith picked up the tray and went upstairs with the warm milk.
When she was back in the bedroom, Josiah was sitting on the sofa reading a financial magazine. He glanced at her
when she was in the room, "what took you so long?"
Meredith did not tell him Mrs. Shelby stopped her to have a talk when she was downstairs, she put the milk in front
of Josiah." Coffee makes it harder for you to sleep. Here's your warm milk."
"My wife is so thoughtful. If I said I want to drink poison in the office, they would give it to me immediately," Josiah
said.
"Don't you get it? It means that you are a terrible person to your employees," Meredith said.
"You're right. Everyone is scared of me but not you." Suddenly, Josiah lamented.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"So is Mister Josiah happy to see this warm milk? Or are you unhappy?" Meredith asked.
"Of course, I'm happy." Josiah extended his hand out to hold Meredith's neck and pulled her forward to give her a
kiss. "Thank you."
Then he let loose of her and took the warm milk and drank it.
"But, why is this milk cold?" Josiah asked.
Meredith touched the cup. "It's not?"
Even though she was just stalled for a couple of minutes, it was normal for the milk to cool down very fast because
the weather was getting colder. At first, she wanted to replace another for Josiah, then she thought that Mrs. Shelby
was downstairs. In order to avoid further conflicts, she could only change her mind. "It's good that it's not hot
anymore. It won't burn your mouth."
"But it's better to drink warm milk at night," Josiah said.
"Oh, if you don't want to drink, then just leave it there," Meredith talked back.
Josiah pulled her back and looked at her. "Edith, I was just complimenting how caring you were, why did you do this
to me now?"
