Chapter 423 He could not help but doubt his ‘ability’. “Meredith, do you not find me attractive anymore?”
“Huh?” Meredith was lost.
“How is it that you only care about talking in this situation?” Josiah got into the bathtub and adjusted her body so
that she was sitting on top of him. While teasing her with his fingers, he stared at her intently and whispered, “Don’t
you want it?” Meredith felt her body go numb. Of course, she still found Josiah attractive.
Meredith whimpered softly, “Joe, what are you doing? It’s not comfortable here.”
“I can’t wait anymore.” Josiah adjusted her body so that she was in a more comfortable position. Seeing how she
was reacting to his teasing, Josiah smiled in relief. “I thought you didn’t need me anymore.” Leaning in his arms,
she whispered into his ear, “You’re the man that I love, how could I possibly not need you anymore?” “Then why

see him grow up healthily.”
“I understand. But Caden looks so much better now. You should be feeling bad for me instead.”
“Why is that?”
“Because my wife doesn’t care for me anymore.”
“Who said that your wife doesn’t care (or you anymore?” Laying on his bare chest, Meredith patted him on his
shoulders and went on, “Am I not here laying in your arms now? Am I not loving you?”
“Mm, but I had to fight for your attention.” Josiah started scrubbing her body with a bath sponge. “Silly thing.”
Meredith held his face in her hands and pressed her lips against his. Josiah’s entire body tensed up and immediately
pulled her in closer to him.
After a passionate round in the bathtub, the lovebirds continued making love in their bed.
Only then did Josiah let her go.
Still holding her in his arms, Josiah rubbed her shoulders gently and asked, “Are you hungry? Should I make you
something to eat?”
“Nuh-uh, it’s fine.” Meredith did not feel like moving at all, let alone eating. But shortly after, Meredith sat up and
wanted to talk about where they had left off earlier.”
Joe, can we talk about what you wanted to tell me earlier?” “Yeah, It’s nothing important, really. Just that…” Staring
at her, Josiah said, “promise me you won’t overthink what I say, okay?”
“Mm, I promise.”
“You’re heartbroken about what happened to Caden, aren’t you? But we can’t adopt him legally so I’ve asked
Yoseph to look into a family that is happy to adopt him.” Meredith was stunned. She sat up abruptly and asked, “Joe,
are you planning to send Caden away?”

Josiah too sat up and with a solemn expression, he replied, “Edith, you know better that we can’t keep Caden with
us forever. It is a good thing for him that a family is willing to adopt him. You should be happy for him. “Plus, Yoseph
has his eyes on this family. The family has a stable financial background and they are both teachers, they’re both
well-educated. If Caden is adopted by them, I’m sure he’ll be happy.” “Do they not have a child of their own?”
“They do, but the child passed from an illness,” Josiah went on, “and they have always wanted to have another child
to fill in the emptiness in their heart, but they couldn’t find the right one. I’m sure they’d love Caden
wholeheartedly.”
“But why is Caden the right one for them?” “Because Caden is roughly the same age as their son. They saw
Caden’s pictures and thought that Caden looked a lot like their son. Hence, they are quite fond of Caden.” “But…”
Meredith looked slightly worried and said, “in this case, Caden is sort of a replacement for their dead son, isn’t it? Is
this really good for Caden though?” At that moment, Josiah did not know how to answer his question.
