Chapter 423Chapter 423 He could not help but doubt his ‘ability’. “Meredith, do you not find me attractive
anymore?”
“Huh?” Meredith was lost.
“How is it that you only care about talking in this situation?” Josiah got into the bathtub and adjusted
her body so that she was sitting on top of him. While teasing her with his fingers, he stared at her
intently and whispered, “Don’t you want it?” Meredith felt her body go numb. Of course, she still found
Josiah attractive.
Meredith whimpered softly, “Joe, what are you doing? It’s not comfortable here.”
“I can’t wait anymore.” Josiah adjusted her body so that she was in a more comfortable position.
Seeing how she was reacting to his teasing, Josiah smiled in relief. “I thought you didn’t need me
anymore.” Leaning in his arms, she whispered into his ear, “You’re the man that I love, how could I
possibly not need you anymore?” “Then why are you only paying attention to Caden?” “Because I feel
sorry for Caden. I want to take care of him and I want to see him grow up healthily.”
“I understand. But Caden looks so much better now. You should be feeling bad for me instead.”
“Why is that?”
“Because my wife doesn’t care for me anymore.”
“Who said that your wife doesn’t care (or you anymore?” Laying on his bare chest, Meredith patted him
on his shoulders and went on, “Am I not here laying in your arms now? Am I not loving you?”
“Mm, but I had to fight for your attention.” Josiah started scrubbing her body with a bath sponge. “Silly
thing.” Meredith held his face in her hands and pressed her lips against his. Josiah’s entire body tensed
up and immediately pulled her in closer to him.After a passionate round in the bathtub, the lovebirds continued making love in their bed.
Only then did Josiah let her go.
Still holding her in his arms, Josiah rubbed her shoulders gently and asked, “Are you hungry? Should I
make you something to eat?”
“Nuh-uh, it’s fine.” Meredith did not feel like moving at all, let alone eating. But shortly after, Meredith
sat up and wanted to talk about where they had left off earlier.”
novelbinJoe, can we talk about what you wanted to tell me earlier?” “Yeah, It’s nothing important, really. Just
that…” Staring at her, Josiah said, “promise me you won’t overthink what I say, okay?”
“Mm, I promise.”
“You’re heartbroken about what happened to Caden, aren’t you? But we can’t adopt him legally so I’ve
asked Yoseph to look into a family that is happy to adopt him.” Meredith was stunned. She sat up
abruptly and asked, “Joe, are you planning to send Caden away?”
Josiah too sat up and with a solemn expression, he replied, “Edith, you know better that we can’t keep
Caden with us forever. It is a good thing for him that a family is willing to adopt him. You should be
happy for him. “Plus, Yoseph has his eyes on this family. The family has a stable financial background
and they are both teachers, they’re both well-educated. If Caden is adopted by them, I’m sure he’ll be
happy.” “Do they not have a child of their own?”
“They do, but the child passed from an illness,” Josiah went on, “and they have always wanted to have
another child to fill in the emptiness in their heart, but they couldn’t find the right one. I’m sure they’d
love Caden wholeheartedly.”“But why is Caden the right one for them?” “Because Caden is roughly the same age as their son. They
saw Caden’s pictures and thought that Caden looked a lot like their son. Hence, they are quite fond of
Caden.” “But…” Meredith looked slightly worried and said, “in this case, Caden is sort of a replacement
for their dead son, isn’t it? Is this really good for Caden though?” At that moment, Josiah did not know
how to answer his question.
