Chapter 383
Meredith suddenly pointed at the outside of the cabin. “Joe, I want to go out and sit.”
Josiah looked at where she was pointing. He subconsciously said, “It’s too dangerous. Don’t do it.”
“It’s not dangerous.” Meredith looked at the sea outside. She turned around to realize that his expressions were
rather off. She measured him up as if she had found out a secret about him.
“Joe, are you afraid?”
Josiah denied it. “No. I’m a man.”
“Yes. How could you be afraid of the water? I’m not afraid at all.” Meredith bent down and headed out to the deck.
“Don’t do it!” Josiah immediately followed her. “Edith, why don’t we head out after the yacht docks.”

Josiah immediately got the captain to stop the yacht before following Meredith out. He planned to pull her back.
“Wow! It’s nice here! Joe, come quick!” Meredith waved at Josiah.
Josiah had been afraid of the water since young, but he did not dare to tell her. No one knew about this.
He was right in the middle of the sea. The turquoise sea was like a terrifying human-eating creature waving at him.
He started to get dizzy. He did not know whether Meredith was afraid or not. He only knew that it was dangerous for
her to stand on the deck. If she were to fall over, she would surely die.
Josiah shook his head. He tried hard to get used to the dizziness. He reached his hand out to her. “Edith, lend me
your hand. I’ll pull you over.”
“Joe, if you’re afraid, then go in. I like it here,” Meredith said.
How could Josiah just let her be outside on her own? He tried hard to head to her.
The yacht slowly came to a halt. The last moment before it stopped, the inertia made Josiah, who was already light-
headed, fell back into the sea.
Josiah was speechless. Cold seawater instantly enveloped him over his head.
He was bewildered. He instinctively tried to struggle. “Help-“
Meredith saw Josiah fall into the water. She was frightened too. She did not think much but directly jumped down to
where he was.
“Joe, don’t be afraid. I’m here to save you!” She leaned over to him and pulled him out of the water with much
difficulty.
Josiah, who was afraid of water, was scared out of his wits. He has lost all his usual elegance and smart cornposure.
He yelled and struggled in fear.
It was not until Meredith pulled him out of the water and into her arms only did he calm down a little.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeing pulled out of the water into someone’s arms felt familiar yet distant to him.. It was something that happened
to him before. It was also a scene that he could never forget. Only the last time he was rescued from the water was
by Yena, not Meredith. Meredith held onto the edge of the yacht with one hand while hugging Josiah, who was
hugging onto her tightly like a koala bear. She could not help but chuckle, “Joe, you still say that you’re not afraid of
the water?” Josiah choked on some water. His gaze was blurry, but he saw her laughing. He could not help but get
curious. “How…do you know how to swim?” Meredith found it strange too. “Hmm? Turns out, I know how to swim.”
Josiah was speechless. The captain heard the commotion and rushed over to see them both in the water. He quickly
threw a rope with a buoy to them.
Once they were back on the deck, Josiah instantly slumped to the ground. Seeing how wretched he was looking,
Meredith smiled widely. She pointed at his wet clothes while saying, “Joe, you look adorable! Just like Snowie after a
shower!” Meredith lowered her gaze and looked at him again. She could not help but smile widely. “You look so
adorable. “Joe, do you know what you look like?”
