Chapter 200
When night came, Josiah was tossing back and forth in his bed. As usual, he found it hard to sleep.
Sitting up on his bed, he reached for the inte and was about to call someone when he noticed that
it was already past two-midnight.
Lily and Alfred should already be asleep at this time.
He could only go downstairs to fetch himself a ss of water.
His gaze stopped at the door of the storage room on the first floor. Josiah recalled the night when
Meredith gave him a massage and how he was able to sleep soundly until the next morning without
waking up in between. He then strode toward the storage room. There were a lot of chores that
Meredith had to do. She only managed to finish everything by twelve at night. After taking a shower,
she headed right to bed.
She was in the middle of sleeping soundly.
Seeing how Meredith was sleeping soundly, Josiah felt a fresh swell of rage rising in him.
He thought, ‘How is it that she gets to sleep so soundly when I have to be in this torture every night?’
Josiah had always believed that it was Meredith who caused him to be diagnosed with insomnia. It
happened after that year when she was found cheating on him with Yoel. Since then, he had never
gotten a good night’s sleep.
Hence, Josiah was furious that Meredith was able to sleep soundly even on the bed that was as hard
as a rock.
“Get up!” He bellowed as he took big strides toward her bed and dragged her off it.
With a loud thump, Meredith fell onto the floor.
She was in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
She slowly came back to her senses at the sight of the pair of long legs in front of
her.
Josiah had always been the source of her pain and suffering all these years, and of course, this was no
exception too.
Meredith stayed cowering on the floor for a while before finally lifting up her head to stare at him.
ring at him furiously, she seethed, “Josiah Shelby, what are you doing in the middle of the night?”
Josiah crouched down in front of her and wrapped his hand over her neck.” Meredith Leighton, how
could you sleep so soundly knowing all the dirty and evil deeds that you’ve done? You’re indeed
something else, aren’t you?” Inwardly, Meredith seethed, ‘It’s exactly because I didn’t do anything
wrong and that is why I can sleep soundly. I bet you couldn’t sleep well because you’ve done a lot of
bad things.’ Meredith did not dare to argue and kept her thoughts to herself as she did not want to
provoke Josiah. She still needed him to save Nia. Getting herself up from the floor, Meredith asked
patiently, “May I know how I can help you at this time of the night? Are you hungry? Or thirsty?” “I want
you to give me a massage,” Josiah responded. Meredith was startled but soon felt helpless. “Well,
aren’t you worried that I’ll use this chance to seduce you?” “I’ll cut your hands off if you dare,” Josiah
headed for the door and added, “…and get me a ss of water.” After Josiah left, Meredith shook her
head gently, attempting to get rid of her drowsiness before leaving her room.
She first went to get a ss of water for Josiah. After drinking the water, Josiah theny on the bed.
“Don’t you dare think of removing my clothes, and don’t ce your hands at ces that you shouldn’t
touch.”
Josiah did not want to be aroused by her to the point that he needed to drink ice water to cool himself
down.
“Yes, Sir.” Meredith climbed onto the bed and started massaging him. With his shirt on, Josiah could
barely feel Meredith’s strength. He then reminded her coldly, “Harder.” Not getting any response from
her, Josiah turned around to look at her to notice that she was half asleep and could not even keep her
eyes open.

Meredith was indeed feeling really sleepy and she felt as if she was sleepwalking. Josiah pinched her
wrist with force, jolting Meredith back to her senses. “Ouch…”
