Chapter 247


    “Why” Meredith looked nervous


    Meredith guessed that something was not right when Josiah agreed for her to keep the child.


    She guessed that Josiah must be up to no good,


    “Because of my grandmother.” Staring at Meredith who was looking at him with that innocent face of


    hers, Josiah scoffed, “Meredith Leighton, aren’t you waiting for this moment to happen when you tried


    so hard to get pregnant with my child? Waiting for my grandmother to ept you into the Shelby


    family? But let me make this clear, even though I respect and care about my grandmother, I would not


    marry a g simply because of a child. I will never agree to it, and…”


    “Alright,” Meredith cut him off, “you’ve said this over and over again, aren’t you even tired?”


    Seeing how his face got darker, she then quickly added, “Don’t think of getting married into the Shelby


    family, don’t think of meeting your grandmother, don’t let your grandmother know that I’m still alive…


    see? I’ve got them all memorized.”

    Josiah responded, “Good.”


    “Don’t worry. Aside from the baby, I don’t want anything else. I wouldn’t want a g to be my man


    either.”


    “What did you say?”


    “Why are you taking it personally when I didn’t even say anything when you said that I was a g


    earlier?” Meredith did not worry about going against him after knowing that Josiah needed her help.


    “With the child, you must think that you’re something now, huh? Going against me and all!” Josiah


    wanted to pull away from the IV drip from her hand. Startled, Meredith immediately stopped him from


    doing so by wrapping her arms around his waist. “I’m sorry, Sir. Please don’t be mad.” “Meredith


    Leighton, don’t forget where you stand!”


    “‘I didn’t.”


    “Take your hands away from me!” Josiah seethed in disdain.


    Meredith immediately let him go andy back down in bed. “You should probably head back and get


    some rest. Don’t want you to be spending too much time with a g.” She was worried that she might


    start another fight with Josiah if he stayed any longer.


    Josiah fixed his shirt that was crumpled by Meredith.


    “Don’t worry, I don’t n on staying here any longer,” Josiah then added, “my grandma says she wants


    to meet you and also wants you to get a paternity test. Come up with a way to make sure that she


    doesn’t recognize you.”


    “Your grandma wants to see me? And run a paternity test?” Meredith was taken aback.


    “Why? Getting scared?” Josiah fixed his gaze on her belly and said, “Is the child not mine after


    all?”


    “If that’s what you think then so be it.”


    Even though Meredith had met Josiah’s grandmother a lot of times, it had been a long time since they


    last met, and after the fire, her face was scarred and her voice had gotten a bit hoarse.


    Meredith thought that she could get someone to put on some makeup so that Josiah’s grandmother


    would not recognize her.


    “I’ll try my best,” she said.


    “And remember that you work at a nightclub.” Inwardly, Meredith was irked at the fact that Josiah


    forced such an identity onto her simply because he did not want his grandmother to ept her.


    “Yes, I work at a nightclub.”


    “If my grandmother wants you to return to Delsam City with her…” Before Josiah could even finish his


    sentence, Meredith said, “Don’t worry, I won’t go. My daughter still needs me.”


    “Good.” “Is there anything else?”
