Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 30

Josiah’s eyes darkened. Still staring at her, he asked, “What happened?” *Do you really not remember? How could you even be asking me how I got the scar? “Meredith Leighton, speak in a way that I understand.” “I’d rather you not ask because I don’t want to talk about it.” It was a painful past for Meredith. The pain was too unbearable for her that she did not wish to be reminded of it again.

Josiah, though, grabbed her by her hair and dragged her until she was kneeling next to him. Forcing Meredith to look at him, Josiah seethed, “Tell me!”

Tears started welling up in Meredith’s eyes. Putting up with the pain as Josiah was grabbing onto her hair and with tears in her eyes, she smiled and replied, “Do you really wish to know, Josiah Shelby? Fine, I’ll tell you. Everything that has happened to me is all your fault. The moment you chose not to trust me and had me locked up in the psychiatric ward, my face and my body started rotting.” Josiah was reminded of the time when Meredith purposely started a fire just to escape from the psychiatric hospital.

However, Meredith was not burned alive but the fire left a scar on her face.

“And how is this my fault?” The last bit of sympathy that he had for Meredith vanished as he scoffed, “You brought this upon yourself. Oh wait, let me correct you – you destroyed yourself the day that you cheated on me with Yoel Harper.”

Regarding the incident, Meredith had no intentions of defending herself, because there was no point for her to explain herself anyway. “Whatever you say,” Meredith replied nonchalanty.

And it was exactly that indifferent attitude of hers that triggered Josiah even more.

“It seems to me that locking you up in the psychiatric ward didn’t teach you any lessons!” Josiah turned around and pressed Meredith down onto the sofa.

With her back hitting the sofa, Meredith cried out in pain. Noticing the blood stains on the sofa, Josiah was reminded of the wounds on her back. The wounds ruptured, causing it to bleed again.

Josiah hesitated. But he was quickly triggered by Meredith again. “Josiah Shelby, apart from using all these lowly and disgusting methods to get back at me, what else can you do, huh?” Meredith’s lips trembled in fear as she continued, “You were the same three years ago, and you’re still the same even now…”

“Shut that mouth of yours, Meredith Leighton!” Ignoring the wound that she had, Josiah pressed down on her shoulder even harder.

The pain was too much for Meredith to bear that she did not even have the strength to defend herself.

She simply laid there without any struggling. Josiah, not willing to give up, grabbed onto her hair once more and taunted furiously,” Meredith Leighton, would it kill you to apologize? Are you that stubborn?” Although she was weak and helpless, Meredith remained firm. “I…did not do anything wrong. You’re the one who is at fault and it always has been your fault!” Her stubbornness only got her into more trouble. Finally, Josiah dragged her and left her by the door of the suite. He then hissed, “Get the hell out of my sight!”

Just when Josiah passed by Meredith and was ready to leave the suite, Meredith wrapped her arms around Josiah’s leg.

Josiah’s gaze turned cold. With a look of disdain, he hissed, “Get your dirty hands off me.” Meredith, though, wrapped her arms tighter around his leg and said weakly, “You haven’t paid me for tonight’s

service.” “You’re asking me to pay you?” Laughing, he went on, “Meredith Leighton, I don’t see you asking for a single penny when you got married to me that year, so what’s with this now?”

“Because I loved you then, and I was your wife,” Meredith continued, “but I don’t love you anymore. And this is my job.” For some reason, Josiah felt slightly disappointed when Meredith claimed that she did not ove him anymore. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

If that’s the case, go get paid from your manager.” Struggling free from Meredith’s grip, osiah left the room without even looking back.
