Still Loving You Nonetheless Chapter 769

Chapter 769 Staring at the woman that he had been yearning and missing for the last two years, Josiah felt his

entire body tensing up as he could not seem to move his eyes away from her. Inwardly, he regretted and blamed

himself for losing such a wonderful woman. Meredith walked toward him and came to a stop in front of him.

Tugging at the corner of her lips, she greeted, “It’s been a while, Mister Josiah.”

Josiah was still staring dazedly at her. It was as if he was worried that he would say something or do something that

would make Meredith run away from him again.

“This is a rather good wine, ain’t it?” Before Josiah could even say anything, she picked up the bottle of wine on the

table and said, “I remember that this bottle of Lafete cost about two hundred thousand dollars eight years ago,

right?”

Followed by a loud clang, the bottle of red wine dropped onto the floor and shattered into pieces.

“Oh no, my bad!” Meredith pretended as if she was anxious. She then looked at Josiah and said, “Please don’t tell

me that you want me to compensate for such an expensive bottle of wine.”

The onlookers inhaled sharply.

They were dumbfounded by the fact that Meredith actually had the nerves to break such an expensive bottle of

wine.

They also recalled how she was forced to sleep with customers just to compensate for the broken bottle of wine.

Josiah finally stood up from the couch, stepped over the shattered pieces of wine bottle on the floor, and came to a

stop in front of Meredith. With his arm wrapped around her waist, he smiled, “It’s okay, you don’t have to pay back

for anything as long as you’re happy.”

Meredith slapped him across his face.

And she moved away from him. “Please have some respect, Mister Josiah!”

Josiah froze.

He was slapped across the face in front of so many people and of course, Josiah would feel embarrassed. He could

even hear the gossiping coming from the onlookers.

But he was not used at all.

He was just glad to see Meredith. Even if he had to take ten slaps from Meredith, he would gladly do it.

Yoseph, on the other hand, had the responsibility to maintain Josiah’s reputation. Hence, he quickly ushered

everyone out of the room.

Meredith and Josiah were now left alone in the room. Josiah touched his left cheek and called out lovingly to

Meredith, “Edith, you’re finally back.

I’ve missed you and Nia a lot.”



Glancing at him, Meredith said flatly, “Please return to your seat, Mister Josiah.”

Josiah was startled. Was Meredith not allowing him to get close to her?

Josiah reached out his hand, wanting to hold hers but Meredith avoided his grasp. “Mister Josiah, let me make this

clear again. We are strangers now and please do show some respect.”

Meredith was coming off strong and defensive. For the sake of calming her down, Josiah had no choice but to return

to his seat.

It was then Meredith finally took a seat in front of him.

She first took a check out from her bag and signed her name on the piece of paper before passing it to Josiah. “This

is for the broken bottle of Lafete.”

Josiah looked at the cheque and he found the situation ridiculous. “Edith, what are you doing? You really don’t have

to do this if you’re only trying to get back at me.” “Mister Josiah, it seems like you’ve overestimated yourself. I am

not doing this to get back at you,” Meredith zipped her bag as she went on with a straight face, “I simply wanted to

remind you about our past and what we are now. It’s just like this broken bottle of Lafete – shattered and

unmendable.”

“Even so, there is no need for you to pay me back with such a big amount of money.” Josiah gave the check back to

her and said, “Edith, what happened in the past is all my fault. I shouldn’t have demanded you to pay for the broken

bottle of Lafete, I shouldn’t have hurt you, and I’m really sorry. Please, will you forgive me?” “What if I don’t want to

forgive you? What are you going to do then?” “Then I will do my best to make it up to you and ask for your

forgiveness.”

“Alright then. I forgive you.”

Josiah was stunned by her sudden change in reaction.

Meredith tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled. “Mister Josiah, to be honest, it doesn’t matter to me whether

I forgive you or if I don’t. Because things are already over between us and I can forget about what had happened in

the past. Let’s just go our separate ways and live our own lives from now on.”
