    Chapter 423 He could not help but doubt his ‘ability’. “Meredith, do you not find me attractive


    anymore?”


    “Huh?” Meredith was lost.


    “How is it that you only care about talking in this situation?” Josiah got into the bathtub and adjusted


    her body so that she was sitting on top of him. While teasing her with his fingers, he stared at her


    intently and whispered, “Don’t you want it?” Meredith felt her body go numb. Of course, she still found


    Josiah attractive.


    Meredith whimpered softly, “Joe, what are you doing? It’s notfortable here.”


    “I can’t wait anymore.” Josiah adjusted her body so that she was in a morefortable position.


    Seeing how she was reacting to his teasing, Josiah smiled in relief. “I thought you didn’t need me


    anymore.” Leaning in his arms, she whispered into his ear, “You’re the man that I love, how could I


    possibly not need you anymore?” “Then why are you only paying attention to Caden?” “Because I feel


    sorry for Caden. I want to take care of him and I want to see him grow up healthily.”


    “I understand. But Caden looks so much better now. You should be feeling bad for me instead.”


    “Why is that?”


    “Because my wife doesn’t care for me anymore.”


    “Who said that your wife doesn’t care (or you anymore?” Laying on his bare chest, Meredith patted him


    on his shoulders and went on, “Am I not hereying in your arms now? Am I not loving you?”


    “Mm, but I had to fight for your attention.” Josiah started scrubbing her body with a bath sponge. “Silly


    thing.” Meredith held his face in her hands and pressed her lips against his. Josiah’s entire body tensed


    up and immediately pulled her in closer to him.


    After a passionate round in the bathtub, the lovebirds continued making love in their bed.


    Only then did Josiah let her go.


    Still holding her in his arms, Josiah rubbed her shoulders gently and asked, “Are you hungry? Should I


    make you something to eat?”


    “Nuh-uh, it’s fine.” Meredith did not feel like moving at all, let alone eating. But shortly after, Meredith


    sat up and wanted to talk about where they had left off earlier.”


    Joe, can we talk about what you wanted to tell me earlier?” “Yeah, It’s nothing important, really. Just


    that…” Staring at her, Josiah said, “promise me you won’t overthink what I say, okay?”


    “Mm, I promise.”


    “You’re heartbroken about what happened to Caden, aren’t you? But we can’t adopt him legally so I’ve


    asked Yoseph to look into a family that is happy to adopt him.” Meredith was stunned. She sat up


    abruptly and asked, “Joe, are you nning to send Caden away?”


    Josiah too sat up and with a solemn expression, he replied, “Edith, you know better that we can’t keep


    Caden with us forever. It is a good thing for him that a family is willing to adopt him. You should be


    happy for him. “Plus, Yoseph has his eyes on this family. The family has a stable financial background


    and they are both teachers, they’re both well-educated. If Caden is adopted by them, I’m sure he’ll be


    happy.” “Do they not have a child of their own?”


    “They do, but the child passed from an illness,” Josiah went on, “and they have always wanted to have


    another child to fill in the emptiness in their heart, but they couldn’t find the right one. I’m sure they’d


    love Caden wholeheartedly.”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    “But why is Caden the right one for them?” “Because Caden is roughly the same age as their son. They


    saw Caden’s pictures and thought that Caden looked a lot like their son. Hence, they are quite fond of


    Caden.” “But…” Meredith looked slightly worried and said, “in this case, Caden is sort of a recement


    for their dead son, isn’t it? Is this really good for Caden though?” At that moment, Josiah did not know


    how to answer his question.
