Chapter 1263


    am just simply curious. Because I don''t think I heard the news about you and your husband getting back


    together.”


    Anotherdy quickly gave a light nudge on Mrs. Zeya''s arm and it was then Mrs. Zeya stopped talking.


    Looking at Mrs. Zeya, Mrs. Shelby scoffed, "Even though my husband and I are divorced, my son is still part of


    this family. Is there a problem that I''ve returned?"


    Mrs. Zeya finally realized that she had misspoken. She shook her hands and quickly exined, "No, not at all.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    That''s not what I meant, Mrs. Shelby. I was simply...


    curious."


    She then hurriedly got up onto her feet and said, "Mrs. Shelby, please enjoy the rest of your evening. I''ll be


    taking my leave now."


    Mrs. Zeya then left without even turning back.


    Meredith, who was on the second floor, witnessed what had happened and eximed, "Mrs. Shelby is


    something else, isn''t she? Just one re and she managed to make someone run away."


    Josiah pulled into a smile. "You could too, you know?" "How could I?"


    "When you be my wife. You''d be able to rule Delmas Town."


    "But I don’t want to do that."


    Josiah lifted his head up to look at Meredith. "I don''t think you''d be able to do that either."


    "What do you mean?" Meredith raised one of her brows.


    "Because our lovely Miss Meredith would never use her status and power on someone." Josiah bent


    over and ruffled Meredith''s hair.


    "Here''s a small gift for you." Josiah handed her an envelope.


    Staring at the envelope in his hands, Meredithughed, " What is this? Are you giving me pocket


    money?"


    "Why? Is it weird?"


    "Yes, very." Meredith took the envelope.


    "I''m giving pocket money to my grandparents, Cooper, and to Nia too. What’s so weird?" Josiah asked.


    "They are different, right? There''s really no need for you to be giving me an allowance."


    "Do you not want them? You can give it back to me then. " Josiah pretended as if he was going to take


    back the envelope from Meredith.


    Avoiding him, Meredith said, "Why would I not want free money? Of course, I''d want it."


    She stuffed the envelope in her pocket and then asked, " Should I also give you some allowances too?"


    "Up to you." Josiah cleared his throat loudly, grabbed the magazine on the desk, and started flipping


    through it.


    Hearing his response, Meredith knew that she would have to return the favor too.


    She went back to her room and put some money into an envelope before returning to Josiah. "Here


    you go."


    "Aren''t you going to add some good words too?"


    "I hope you make more money in theing new year."


    "Haven’t I made enough?"


    "Who wouldin that they are making too much money? If you really did think that you''ve earned enough,


    you wouldn''t have expanded your business overseas."


    "You got that wrong. I expanded my business overseas not because of money, it''s so that we could keep up


    with the market, to reinforce and strengthen my influence in the market so that we don''t get expelled from the


    industry."


    "Whatever you say." Meredith did not wish to argue more with him. She started making tea instead.


    Right then, someone called Josiah on his phone.


    After a few words of exchange, he ended the call.


    "Someone else ising over?" Meredith overheard a little of their conversation.


    "Liam and his parents areing over for dinner together."


    "Really?" Meredith immediately put down the things in her hand and stared surprisedly at Josiah.


    Looking at Meredith''s reaction, Josiah said, rather unhappily, "There you go again!"
