Chapter 1198
Ivy's gentle voice came from inside. "Joe, why are you still not back yet so late? Is everything alright?"
Josiah held his phone while gently caressing Meredith's shoulder. " I'm together with Meredith. Miss Landers, is there
anything else?"
Ivy, on the other end of the line, paused for a while before saying, " I...nothing. I'm just worried about you not being
back so late. It's good that you're fine. I'll hang up."
Josiah hung up the call first.
He lowered his head to see Meredith looking at him with a complicated gaze.
He knew that she must be thinking back about her past once more.
He helplessly sighed and said seriously, "Meredith, I don't like to give people hope. Especially not to a woman that I

don't like. I don't think I'm wrong in doing so, if not it will be like..."
He initially wanted to say that it would be like how she gave Charlie hope and ended up hurting herself.
However, on another thought, this incident has been over for a year. He no longer needed to bring it up to make
her sad again.
Meredith asked him in confusion, "It will be like what?"
"It will be..." Josiah paused for a while. "It will hurt the person that I love. For example, you."
Meredith had no more words.
Josiah saw her closing her eyes and no longer quarreling with her. Josiah stuck to his word. He did not touch her at
all the entire night.
The next day, when Meredith woke up, it was already seven- something in the morning, she instinctively swept a
gaze next to her. Josiah was already gone.
He knew that she had to head to his mansion to make breakfast for Cooper, yet he did not wake her up. How

terrible!
At the thought of Cooper, Meredith quickly got up, washed up, and headed downstairs.
While heading downstairs, she asked, "Miss Linda, has Mister Shelby, that sick dog, left?"
"Uh..." Linda was tidying the house, when she heard what Meredith said, she awkwardly looked at her before
looking at the kitchen.
Did she mean that Josiah was in the kitchen?
Meredith thought back about how he used to make breakfast, she did not find it strange.
However, she called him a sick dog a moment ago, how was she going to save herself from that?
She decided she was not going to have any breakfast. She was going to directly open the door and leave.
However, she just reached downstairs when Josiah's voice came from the dining hall. "The sick dog is still here. Miss

Meredith, what can I do for you?"
Meredith stopped in her tracks, turned around, and smiled stiffly. " Mister Josiah, what are you talking about? I don't
understand."
"If you don't understand, forget about it. Come have breakfast." He was not angry at all.
Meredith walked over to the dining hall. She saw the breakfast that he has prepared on the table. He was also
preparing the ingredients for tri-color pesto pasta.
"What are you doing?"
She picked up the sandwich on the table and started eating.
"I'm preparing the ingredients. Later, all you need to do is to make it and send it there. If not, you'll be late for
work," Josiah said.
She never thought that he would be that thoughtful and prepared it so meticulously.
"Is Cooper up yet?"
"Yes."
