Chapter 405


    Josiah coughed dryly and moved the phone’s earpiece to the other side.


    The woman on the other end of the call was stunned. She asked curiously, “Mister Josiah, is there a


    woman by your side?”


    “Hmm. My wife is messing around.” Josiah pinched Meredith’s waist as a punishment. His tone was still


    as calm as usual. “Mrs. Lyon, please continue. I’m listening. Hmm. Okay…”


    The phone callsted about five minutes before Josiah hung up.


    Josial pretended to re at the woman in his arms.


    Meredith sheepishly burrowed herself deeper into his arms. She muttered softly, “I…just don’t like you


    talking to other women.”

    Josiah pried her face out from his arms. His expressions rxed gradually. “Mrs. Shelby. I’m working. If


    I don’t work, how am I going to earn for the family?”


    “I know. I’ll shut up in the future.” She zipped her mouth.


    Josiah helplessly shook his head and kissed her on her lips. “But it’s cute that you’re jealous, Mrs.


    Shelby, so, I’ll forgive you this time.”


    “Really? You’re not angry, Joe


    “Hmm.”


    “Then…” Meredith pointed at her phone. “Was that Mrs. Lyon angry?” “No. She even praised me.”


    “What did she say?” “She said that my wife is adorable.”


    In fact, Mrs. Lyon did praise him for being suddenly much more humane, that he could even bear his


    wife messing around during work. Josiah was famous for not even being able to bear his co-workers


    coughing during the meeting Meredith actually bought it. She asked delightedly, “Then, Joe, do you


    think I’m adorable?” “You are adorable.” Josiah nodded. Meredith was delighted. She got up from


    Josiah’sp. “Joe, go get busy. I won’t disturb you anymore.”


    “No worries. You were already disturbing.” Josiah pulled her back on hisp. His hands went around


    her and typed on the keyboard. He was typing in anguage that she did not understand.


    “Joe, whatnguage are you typing in?” “Fennish. I’m sending an email.” “Oh, such strange characters.


    I don’t even know any of it.”


    “It’s alright. You only need to know the ones of your own country.”


    “Why?”


    “Because that’s enough for you tomunicate with your husband.”


    Meredith could not help but chuckle. Staying by his side while Josiah worked was quite boring.


    Meredith sat in hisp for a while and soon could no longer stay put. She insisted on going to the other


    side to read.


    Josiah let her go and got her to head over to the shelf to pick a book before returning to hisp. He was


    working while she was reading. They did not disturb one another. An hourter, Josiah finally finished


    the work at hand. Meredith had already fallen asleep in his arms.


    Josiah lowered his head to look at Meredith quietly asleep. He smiled and carried her to the bedroom.


    When he ced her on the bed, Meredith stirred. She opened her eyes and looked at him in a daze.


    She asked him, “Joe, are you done? Does that mean we can head out already?”


    Josiah never thought that she was still fixated on going to work. He nodded. “Hmm. We can.” “Oh,


    then, let’s go.” Meredith sat up immediately, got out of bed, and headed to her closet.
