Chapter 313


    “Then, take me to the hospital to see the doctor right now!” Meredith said and pulled him along


    “Edith, we can‘t do it now.” Josiah pulled her back.


    “Why? Why can‘t we?” Meredith‘s every word was in an aggressive tone.


    Josiah could only patiently exin, “Because you just got hurt. If you were to undergo any surgery right


    now, it would be dangerous, so, let‘s wait for a while before going, alright?”


    “No! I don‘t want to wait! I don‘t want to see myself being so ugly!” Meredith grabbed Josiah by his


    clothes and


    shook him hard. She screamed, “Josiah, why won‘t you help me? Are you doing thison purpose? Don‘t


    you like me? Do you want me to be ugly forever?”


    Josiah saw how Meredith was getting more and more agitated, her screams getting


    louder. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.


    Sure enough, Meredith quieted down. She struggled in his arms for a while before


    she stopped moving


    Under his kisses, she calmed down gradually. Her hands grabbing his clothes also


    loosened…


    From resistance to reciprocating, it took less than half a minute. Ever since they met, she has never


    been subdued by his kiss that easily before nor has she reciprocated


    his kiss so passionately either.


    Josiah was ted inside.


    “Edith, no matter how ruined your face is, you are the prettiest in my heart.” He lowered his head and


    gently pecked a kiss on her left cheek “Let‘s not fight, please?“.


    Meredith looked at him in a daze. She asked, “Are you for real? You won‘t find me disgusting?”


    “No. How could I?”


    “But you look so good, and I look so ugly.”


    “We‘re husband and wife, why do we need to care about how we look? As long as we like it.” He smiled


    and pinched her nose. “Don‘t call yourself ugly anymore, please?”


    Meredith touched her face. She still felt upset. Looking at Josiah’s gorgeous face, she could not help


    but ask, “Joe, why would you like such an ugly person like me?” “Didn‘t I already say? You don‘t look


    ugly at all to me. I don‘t judge a book by its cover. Shouldn‘t you be happy about that?” “But I like you


    because you look good,” Meredith said


    seriously.


    “Is that so? So, if one day I were to ruin my face, would you not like me anymore?”


    “Of course not.” Meredith put her hand against his mouth. “Don‘t say things like that.”


    “So, liking someone has nothing to do with beauty.” Josiah took her hand off his mouth and kissed it.


    Meredith thought for a while and said, “But if I go out like this, others willugh at me.” “Don‘t worry.


    With me around, no one would dare tough at you.” “They were secretlyughing behind my back.”


    “Then…” Josiah recalled back when she was performing on stage. He said, “Then, every time we head


    out, we‘ll put on a pretty butterfly mask, how about that?”


    “Are you sure?”


    “Hmm. Matching it with your favorite white dress, you would be very pretty.” “Then, you have to buy me


    many butterfly masks and white dresses.” “Okay.” Meredith finally smiled. Josiah smiled too. Even Lily,


    who was standing by the door, sighed in relief. She never thought that her high and mighty, aloof boss


    would be so good at coaxing another woman.


    After coaxing Meredith, Josiah picked up the phone on the floor and had a look.


    When he saw the photo of them, he finally understood why Meredith would suddenly
