Chapter 412


    Josiah inhaled. He suppressed his annoyance and said, “Mrs. Shelby, take some fish for me.” She


    used to be the one who ced lood on his te. Meredith looked at him curiously. “Joe, what’s going


    on with you?” Why was he being so troublesome? Josiah raised his eyebrows and asked, “Mrs. Shelby,


    I should be the one asking you what is going on with you? Just because you have a child you no longer


    want your husband, is that it?”


    She was already like that with another person’s child. He could not imagine if Nia were toe back,


    his position in her heart would be even worse than the weed growing by the side of the door.

    At that thought, he was worried! “Caden is still young. Today is his first day here. Of course, I have to


    take good care of him.” Meredith did not think of it as a problem. “Because it’s his first day, right?”


    Josiah nodded. “Okay, I’ll bear with you for one day.” Then, he took the fish himself and ate them. The


    fish tasted worse than usual. He did not know if it was because it had been out for a long time or


    because she did not put the fish on his te for him. After two bites, he has lost all appetite. “Joe, are


    you full already?” Meredith saw him getting up. She saw the te of food which he barely touched “I’m


    full of anger,” Josiah spat and headed upstairs. Caden asked in confusion, “Miss Leighton, is he mad?”


    “Don’t worry about him. He will calm down soon,” Meredith said confidently. Previously, whenever he


    got angry, all she needed to do was to kiss and coax him. She believed that it would be the same that


    time too.


    After dinner, Meredith took Caden to y in the garden for a while. Then, she apanied him in


    reading an illustrated book before helping him get showered and changing him into new clothes.


    The new clothes fit him. It looked good on him too. Meredith was delighted. “I picked these pajamas for


    you. Do you like it?” “I do, thank you, Miss Leighton.”


    “That’s good.”


    Meredith put him in bed. “We still have school tomorrow. Let’s go to bed early.”


    Caden nodded obediently. Meredith took a book to read him a bedtime story.


    Perhaps it was because of a change of environment. On top of that, happiness came too suddenly for


    him. Caden could not fall asleep.


    Meredith had finished a few books. Not only did Caden not fall asleep, but his eyes were also opened.


    He said, “Miss Leighton, can I call you mommy?”


    “What?” Meredith was stunned.


    Caden looked at her with a little sadness in his eyes, “All the mothers at the orphanage say I can’t


    acknowledge you as my mommy, because it’s against the rules, but I have never called anyone


    mommy before. I really want to try it. Miss Leighton, you are as gentle as a mommy. Can I secretly call


    you mommy once?” “Of course, you can,” Meredith said, “I like you a lot too, Caden.” “Can I really?”


    Caden asked.


    “Hmm, of course.” “Mommy!” Caden happily called out. When Caden called her mommy, it pierced


    through her eardrums like a nail violently hammering into her skull. Meredith gasped in pain. The pain


    from her ears traveled to her brain. Meredith clutched her brain with both hands hard. She was in so


    much pain she kept moaning. “Mommy, what is happening? Are you feeling unwell?” When Caden saw


    her in pain, he was immediately concerned for her.
