Chapter 464
“I see that you like drawing landscapes of mountains and oceans, so I got someone to add them to the chocolates. Do you like them?”
“I do!” Meredith could not put down the chocolates. “If that‘s the case, they had to make an entirely new mold, right? You must have spent a lot of money, right?”
“Not really, about one hundred thousand dollars,”
“One hundred thousand dollars?!” Meredith immediately put back the cover of the box and stared at him with her eyes wide opened. “Joe, are you
out of your mind? Why would you spend one hundred thousand dollars on a box of chocolate?”
“What‘s wrong with that?”

“Why would you spend such a big amount of money on this?” Meredith
started lecturing him, “I thought I told you that we are going to have a child soon and that we have to start saving up money? You can‘t go around spending money like
this.” “Really? Did you?” Josiah leaned into her and chuckled, “When did you say this? Why don‘t I remember it?”
“I told you yesterday.”
“Really? Then I must have forgotten about it.”
“You…” Meredith was getting a bit mad. “You are getting on my nerves.”
Inwardly, Josiah felt extremely happy but he put on a solemn expression and said, “Alright, alright, I‘m sorry. I promise that I won‘t spend money as I please now. I will start to
save money to take care of you and our child.”
“But I got this chocolate custom made for you before you got pregnant. I know you might think that I‘m wasting money but would you please accept my gift?”

He opened the box of chocolate, put them in front of Meredith, and added, “Look at this, are you really willing to let this chocolate go to waste?”
“Can‘t we return this?”
“How can we return something that was custom–made? You even said to yourself that they had to create a new mold.”
Meredith looked at those pretty chocolates and still felt a little uncomfortable. “But how can I eat such pretty and expensive chocolates?”
“They‘re just chocolates. We can always buy more when we finish them.”
“There you go again, Josiah….”
Josiah immediately corrected himself, “I meant that we‘ll get other chocolates instead of these expensive ones.”
He took out a piece of chocolate from the box and put it next to her mouth. “Come on now, don‘t you want to try this chocolate? Try it for me, hmm?”
Meredith looked at the chocolate in his hand and then at the box of chocolates.

In the end, she still could not bring herself to eat the chocolate and put it back into the box. “I really can‘t eat such pretty–looking chocolate. I want to keep it.”
Josiah felt a bit helpless. “Edith, there‘s an expiration date for these chocolates. The longer that you leave it, the worse it tastes.”
“I don‘t care. In any case, I will not eat them.” She then put away the box of chocolate.
“Okay.” Josiah shrugged his shoulders. Josiah thought to himself that he should not get anything too exquisite if he did
not want them to end up wasted. “Since you don‘t want the chocolates, let‘s just go in and have dinner.”
Meredith nodded. With the flowers in one hand and the chocolate in one, they walked into the house.
Even though she was not willing to eat them, those chocolates were precious to her.
“Did Sir get you presents again?” Lily noticed the flowers and the box of chocolate in Meredith‘s hands, smiled, and asked, “What did Sir get you? You seem to
really like them.”
“I don‘t like them at all,” Meredith said.
“You don‘t like them? What is it?” “A box of chocolates that are only meant for the eyes.“
