Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 231 She knew better that she should not provoke him.

She was risking her chances anyway, risking the fact that Josiah would care about his grandmother finding out. But

what if she was wrong?

What if Josiah could not care less about his grandmother finding out and insisted on her getting an abortion?

Hence, Meredith added, “Josiah Shelby, I’ve made it clear that I don’t love you anymore, and I have absolutely no

interest in getting married to you. I will take care of the kids someplace far away from you. So please, take mercy

on me and the kids.” Josiah did not believe that Meredith had no intention of getting married to him when she tried

so hard to get pregnant with his child. Josiah thought that Meredith would surely say otherwise once she gave birth

to the child.

Therefore, Josiah did not believe her.

But Meredith was right that Josiah would care about his grandmother’s feelings

His grandmother had been spamming calls on his phone every other day just to remind him that she was still

waiting to have a great-grandchild. If his grandmother found out that he actually got rid of his own child, his

grandmother might pass out from being too angry.

“Very well, Meredith. Let’s see how it goes then,” Josiah seethed. He took a step backward and let go of his grip on

her chin. Inwardly, Meredith sighed in relief and turned her face to avoid Josiah’s gaze. “Please leave if there’s

nothing else.” “You’re kicking me out?” Josiah snickered coldly as he stared at her belly. “I am the father of your

child.”

“My child doesn’t need a father,” Meredith replied nonchalantly.

She was hoping that Josiah would leave already, not only because of the fact that she was worried that Josiah might

do something to her baby but she was also worried that Nia might see him.

Nia was in the middle of receiving treatment and she would be back at any minute.

Meredith was worried that Nia would cling to Josiah, insisting that Josialı was her father.

Josiah leaned forward into her and stared into her eyes at a close distance. “Meredith Leighton, you better get rid

of the child as soon as possible. No matter what it is that you’re plotting, I’d not let you have your way.”

He then walked away.

Meredith sighed in relief.

Even though she was not sure what Josiah would do next, at least she had gotten through the

Chapter 231

current obstacle. Nia got back to the ward after her treatment. At the sight of Meredith sitting on her bed, Nia

pulled into a smile on her pale face. “Mommy, I thought you would have already left for work”

Meredith came back to her senses and replied to Nia lovingly, “I’ve decided to stay here today to spend time with

you.”

“You don’t have to if you’re busy,” Nia then pointed to the vase of roses and said, “I’ve got the roses and Aunt Wren

to keep me company.” Meredith was touched by Nia’s thoughtfulness.

Placing a hand over her belly and another hand on Nia’s head, she said, “Don’t worry, darling. I will make sure you

get better and we can then live together with either your little brother or little sister next time.”

er or little sister?” Nia ask like others too?”

“Yes, darling.” Meredith nodded. “So where are they?” “They are in my tummy,” Meredith pointed to her belly and

added, “but they’re really small now. Do you want to feel them?” “Yes, please!” Nia placed her hand on Meredith’s

lower belly and asked, “Mommy, so is it a girl or a boy?”

“Do you want it to be a girl or a boy?” “I don’t mind having a little brother or a little sister,” Nia puffed up her chest

and said, “I will protect and take care of them.” “Really, darling?”

“Of course!”

“You’re the best, Nia. You’d be a good sister, I’m sure.” Meredith nodded.

After knowing that Meredith was pregnant, Nia became more considerate than usual.

Meredith knew that Nia would love for her to stay longer with her but for the sake of earning money, Meredith had

to leave the hospital when Nia was asleep.

The place where she gave piano lessons was not far from the hospital. On her way back to the hospital after class,

a car stopped in front of her.

Realizing that it was Josiah’s car, Meredith turned around and walked away.

Walter winded down the window and called out to her, “Miss Meredith, Sir wants me to give you a ride back to

Shelby’s residence.”

Return to Shelby’s residence? Meredith had absolutely no intentions of doing so. Walter hesitated before saying to

her, “Miss Meredith, you know better how Sir is. He would not take no for an answer. You can have a look yourself.”

Meredith took a glance at the car behind Walter’s car and realized that it was the car that Josiah’s bodyguards

drove.

Walter was right about Josiah being someone who would not tolerate no for an answer. Josiah too had come up with

a plan to deal with Meredith. With no other options left, Meredith could only get into Walter’s car. “What is Josiah

planning to do?”

Walter apologized, “I’m sorry Miss Meredith. Sir only instructed me to bring you home. He did not say anything

else.”

Meredith too did not ask anything further. With an anxious heart, the car pulled over at Shelby’s residence.

When she stepped foot into the mansion, Josiah was coming down the stairs. With one hand in his pocket, he was

sophisticated, intimidating, and cold, like always. For the sake of her baby, Meredith could not afford to offend him

so she asked politely, “What is that you wish to see me for?”

“What else?” Josiah walked down the stairs, step by step, as he took glimpses at her belly.” Even though I don’t

want you to be giving birth to the child, since you insisted on keeping it, you shall then stay here during your entire

pregnancy.”

He wanted her to stay at Shelby’s residence during her pregnancy? Meredith was worried that Josiah had other

plans instead. If she were to move into his place, she would then have to follow his orders. Meredith replied, “Josiah

Shelby, I don’t want to stay at your place.” “This is my child’s home. You don’t have to stay here, but the baby

does.”

“Would you rather have my child stay in a hospital that is full of bacteria? What if anything happens to my child?

Will you be responsible for it?”.

Meredith started gnawing on her lips anxiously.

How was she supposed to work and save up money or even spend time with Nia if she were to stay at his place?

As if Josiah had read her mind, he added, “And, don’t even think of working when you’re carrying my child. If you’re

not capable of taking care of the child, you should just give up now.

Meredith smiled bitterly.

All Josiah cared about was this child that she was carrying when he did not even bat an eyelid when their daughter

was suffering alone in the hospital.

Meredith guessed that Josiah was not the type of person who would care about his own children.

At the end of the day, Meredith concluded that the reason why Josiah forced her to move back into the Shelby

residence was so that he could get rid of her child.
