Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 21

The Meredith that he knew back then was confident, prideful, and gorgeous.

With a tender smile on her face, she held out her small hand to him and said, “Josiah Shelby, do you know the number of guys in Jehovah City who want to marry me? Probably more than a hundred. But amongst them, I have chosen you. It‘s not simply because I like you, but it’s because you‘re the only one who deserves to be with me. And of course, amongst all the other women in this city, only I, Meredith Leighton, is deserving to be your wife! So tell me, what is the reason that you‘re rejecting this arranged marriage? And who gave you the right to reject this marriage?”

Meredith was surprisingly well–articulated.

And as if he was bewitched by her, Josiah had somehow ended up agreeing to the marriage. After that, Josiah could never understand why he had agreed to marry her. Was it really because only Meredith deserved to be with him? Although, he did have to admit that Meredith was an extraordinary and outstanding woman. She was almost perfect.

Until this moment when she was dancing without any clothes on, it was then Josiah finally realized that Meredith was a player. She knew how to seduce men and how to get in their heads. After finishing the performance, Meredith got o ff the stage and sat on Leon‘s lap. “Are you ready, Mister Leon? I‘m going to start kissing you,” teased Meredith as she lifted. Leon‘s chin with a finger.

With the butterfly-shaped mask and the bloodstain on her forehead, to Leon, Meredith was a temptation that he could not resist.

Leon was flattered and overwhelmed by Meredith. He quickly wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Mister Leon, my kissing skills were taught personally by Mister Josiah. I hope you wouldn‘t mind,” said Meredith as she tried her best to ignore the piercing cold gaze from Josiah, all the while tracing her fingers across Leon‘s chin. Since Josiah wanted so badly to humiliate her, she would gladly grant his wish. She refused to believe that Josiah, the most respectable and influential man of Jehovah City, would not be ashamed by the fact that his ex- wife was being humiliated in front of so many people. Finally coming back to his senses, Leon nodded his head and said, “I‘m sure you‘d be amazing since Josiah had taught you personally. Hurry up now, I can‘t wait any longer…” He then closed his eyes, pouted his lips, and waited patiently for her kiss.

“Look at you getting all impatient,” chuckled Meredith before leaning in for a kiss.

Right when Meredith‘s lips were about to touch Leon‘s, a loud clanging sound was heard in the room.

Josiah had smashed the wine glass in his hands onto the floor. Startled by the sound, everyone froze. They looked at the floor and then turned to look at Josiah There was a gloomy, overcast expression on his face. People who knew Josiah well would kn ow right away that Josiah was enraged.

And of course, Meredith knew better.

She was anxious, frightened…but at the same time relieved. After all, no one would want to kiss someone sleazy and disgusting. Leon was horrified by Josiah‘s response. Pushing Meredith away from his lap, he followed the crowd who was moving towa haha…it was just a joke…” With a loud bang, the door of the private room was slammed closed.

The private room that was boisterous and lively a while ago was now dead silent. Struggling, Meredith got off from the

floor and scoffed coldly at Josiah, “I thought you were willing to tuck away your ego for the sake of humi you think that it‘s embarrassing too, huh?” Meredith picked up her clothes, covered her bare body with them, attempting to tuck away some of the humiliation that she was feeling.

Josiah finally got up from the sofa. He grabbed the clothes from her and tore them. Then, he pointed towContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
