Chapter 120


    “Oh well of course I do. The paternity test results are on Josiah’s study


    desk.” “It was clearly you who had manipted the test results!” “Goodness me, you sure do think too


    highly of me, don’t you?” Chuckling , Ysabelle asked,” Say, aren’t you curious what happened when


    Josiah saw that daughter of yours earlier?”


    Of course, Meredith was curious.

    She felt her chest tighten right away when Ysabelle brought up the mention of Nia. But she knew better


    what Josiah would have done to Nia. Like always, he would have looked at Nia in disgust and disdain,


    he would push her away coldly and leave her all alone.


    But Meredith was more worried that with Ysabelle around Josiah, she would have incited Josiah to


    harm Nia.


    At the thought of her daughter insisting that Josiah was her father, Meredith was devastatingly


    heartbroken.


    Clenching her hands tightly into a fist, Meredith uttered her words carefully, “Ysabelle,e at me if


    you have anything against me. How lowly of you to be harming a three-year-old kid?”


    “You said it as if I’ve nevere at you before.” Ysabelle added, “Don’t worry, I will not spare either


    you or that child of yours, but of course, Josiah is doing my job for me, and I don’t even have to do


    anything.”


    Anger rose in Meredith like a tide.


    “Oh, and I want to have mushroom soup for dinner tonight. Be sure to prepare it for me.” Ysabelle then


    walked upstairs obnoxiously.


    Thinking of talking to Nia, Meredith made a call to Aunt Wren but Nia was already sleeping.


    “Is Nia okay?” “Don’t worry, Miss Meredith, she will be fine.” Aunt Wrenforted. After ending the call,


    Meredith wiped away the tears on her face and continued preparing dinner.


    Josiah returned home after an hour. Like always, the first thing he would do when he returned home


    was to check up on Yena upstairs, change his clothes, ande downstairs for dinner. Pouring a bowl


    of mushroom soup for Josiah, Meredith hesitated before asking, “Joe, did you happen to see Nia today


    at the hospital? She…”


    mming down the cutleries in his hands onto the table, Josiah red coldly at her.” Meredith


    Leighton, are you trying to ruin my appetite on purpose?” “I…I’m not.” Meredith paused and added,


    “Joe, I just want to beg you that …the next time you see Nia, could you not hurt her? She is after all


    only three and she’s really ill”


    always throws herself at me every time she sees me as if she is trying to humiliate me, calling me her


    father. “How is it that I’m the one who is hurting her when you’re clearly using her to hurt me?” Like


    usual, Josiah grabbed her chin and hissed, “Meredith Leighton, this is myst warning – ask your


    daughter to stay away from me. It disgusts me to see you and her!”


    He then pushed Meredith onto the floor.


    Sitting up on the floor, Meredith lifted up her head, stared at him, and said, “I just hope that on the day


    that you regret all of these, you won’t be too sad.” “Regret?” Josiah scoffed, “Forgive me if I’m not


    getting this right but why would I regret or be sad over that illegitimate child of yours when we were only


    married for a year?” “Josiah…”


    “Sis, why are you sitting on the floor?” Ysabelle walked into the dining hall right then, interrupting


    Meredith. “Did you make Josiah mad again? Look at you, you’re always making him upset and begging


    him for forgiveness. How do you expect Josiah to forgive you when you’re acting this way?”


    Ysabelle was clearly trying to tell her that there was no point in making Josiah upset.


    Meredith sniffled and did not say anything else.


    Sitting down next to Josiah, Ysabelle continued to be nice, “Josiah, don’t get too angry, hmm? Meredith


    simply misses Nia a lot, she’s not trying to go against you.”
