Chapter 135


    She had prepared toast, omelet, slices of bacon, and sausages. Looking at the delicious breakfast,


    Liam asked Meredith, “Edith, where is mine?” Taking a quick nce at Josiah, Meredith replied, “Lily is


    almost done preparing your breakfast. Please wait a little longer.”


    “But I want to have what you make.” Liam picked up a slice of bacon from Josiah’s te.


    Nodding, he said, “Mm! This is delicious! You’re such a good cook, Edith!”


    Just when he was about to take another slice, Josiah stopped him.

    “Hey, don’t be selfish!” Ignoring him, Josiah started eating while flipping through a magazine. Seeing


    Josiah being all serious, Liam purposely teased, “Edith, if you ever be mine one day, I want you to


    prepare nice meals for me too.” Stealing a nce at Josiah, Meredith put a finger to her mouth,


    gesturing for Liam to stop talking Liam pretended as if he did not understand what she was trying to


    say and asked, “Why? Are you not willing to?” Josiah replied instead, “Well, we’ll have to see if she has


    the guts to marry you.” “I’m sure that Edith would fall for me someday, right, Edith?” Liam yfully


    shed Meredith a wink. “You must be joking, Mister Liam. How could I possibly be married to you?”


    replied Meredith, sounding all serious. She said this for the sake of pleasing Josiah. It was not often


    that Josiah was in a good mood and Meredith had to seize this opportunity. While Josiah was about to


    head upstairs to change after having his breakfast, Meredith followed him into his room. ncing at


    her through the mirror, Josiah noticed the kiss marks that he left around her neck. “What’s up? Trying to


    seduce me first thing in the morning?” Meredith could not help but remind him, “Sir, it was you who


    forced yourself on me… I didn’t seduce you.”


    Josiah froze. Turning around to stare at her, he asked, “Then what is it that you’re doing now? Barging


    into my room when I’m changing?” “I have a favor to ask of you,” Looking into his eyes, Meredith went


    on, “Sir, my mom has been locked up for more than a week. Could you please allow her to be released


    on medical parole? I’m worried that…” .


    “I have nothing to do with what happened to your mother. You should talk to your sister instead,” Josiah


    cut her off and went on, “but I don’t think she’lsagree to your request since


    you burned her, poisoned her, and had even taken me away from her.” Meredith was wordless.


    Seeing how she was not saying anything, Josiah sniggered , “Meredith haven’t you heard of the saying


    – one would not be in trouble had one not asked for it?”


    Gnawing on her lips, Meredith tried to exin herself, “It was Ysabelle who started it first. I can’t always


    just sit back and let her trample all over me, she…”


    “I have absolutely no interest in the feud between you and her,” Josiah cut her off again and proceeded


    to walk toward the door.


    Chasing up to him, Meredith tugged on his sleeves and said, “Sir, I know this has got nothing to do with


    you but if you were to bring this up, Ysabelle would let my mother go right away. You know Ysabelle


    always listens to you.”


    “You’ve taken me away from her and what makes you think that she’ll still listen to me?”


    “She will and she will because she likes you a lot.”


    Plus, Ysabelle did mention that Josiah had the authority over settling the incident involving her mother.


    Hence, her mother would be saved if Josiah put in a word for her. “So, you want me to use Ysabelle’s


    feelings for me to save your mother?”


    “Let me say this again. Talk to your sister about your mother, don’te to me,” said Josiah as he


    looked down at her hand that was tugging on his sleeves.
