Chapter 1031
Chapter 1031 “This cocktail is very sweet,” Meredith said after taking a sip. “It‘s actually more like a syrup than
alcohol. But the mixture tastes not bad.” Josiah also took a sip and moved his glasses closer to Meredith. “Come,
let‘s cheer.”
Meredith did not reject it and touched her glass with his. The singer started singing on the stage. Probably it was
already quite late in the night, the entire place had only two guests which were Meredith and Josiah.
The singer chose to sing a soft ballad. Meredith used a hand to support her face while she gazed at the young male
singer. She did not even hear anything Josiah said. Thus, Josiah followed her sight and found her gazing at the
young and handsome singer. Suddenly, jealousy creeped out of him. “Edith.” He waved his hand in front of her.
“Why are you looking at another person when the father of your child is right here?” Meredith stopped dazing
and coughed, “I just think that he is a good singer.” “You can just listen to his voice if you think he sings well. There‘s

no need for you to stare at him.” Josiah almost bluntly told Meredith that he was jealous of the singer. However,
Meredith knew it even if Josiah did not say it. She just said nothing and continued drinking her cocktail.
A second later, she asked, “What did you say just now?”
Josiah was lost in words. “You finally remembered asking it now?” “Don‘t say it if it pleases you.” Meredith lowered
her head again to stir the juice in the glass.
Josiah sighed and took the initiative to say, “I’m asking if you are feeling better lately. When are you planning
to go back to accompany Nia?” Meredith‘s face sank as he expected. “I can accompany Nia anytime. But I
already told you, I‘m not going to stay at your house.” “Is it because of Charlie?” Josiah asked
“You can think so,” Meredith answered.
“Edith, Charlie, he...” Josiah continued to talk.
“Josiah, I don‘t want to talk about this problem. If you insisted, then I better go
back to sleep,” Meredith said and was about to get up to leave.

Josiah quickly pulled her down to sit back on the chair. “You can‘t sleep anyway. Let‘s stay and listen to the song for
a bit more.” In order to let her stay, he added, “Alright, I won‘t talk about this topic anymore. Let‘s talk about
something that you are interested in.”
Only then did Meredith sit back down.
“Come, try this one.” Josiah gave her another different cocktail. “This cocktail‘s name is called Sweet Love. It should
taste even sweeter.”
Meredith looked at the pink cocktail the waiter just placed on the table. She asked curiously, “When did you order
this?”
“Just now. I told the boss to serve us all of the best–selling cocktails to let you have a try.” Josiah smiled, “I thought
you should be interested in cocktails since you like blending perfume.” “Just fine. Mixology in alcohol is different

from blending perfume.” Josiah really enjoyed spending time with her alone. He kept on looking for topics to talk
about to make Meredith stay. “Edith, what‘s your plan next?”
“My next plan?” Meredith played with the glass and said while thinking,” Creating a popular perfume and restoring
the Leightons back to its glorious moment.”
‘And also helps Charlie to look after Mrs. Larson...’ She added this in her thought. Then she crackled, “But I think it‘s
a little hard.”
“Why do you think it‘s hard?” Josiah asked. “Edith, you‘re so smart. Nothing is impossible as long as you put your
heart and dedication into it.”
“You think so? I hope it works out that way too.” Meredith inhaled lightly, “I hope I could be independent and do not
need any help from anyone to live a happy life.”
Josiah looked at her serious face and wanted so much to tell her that he hope he could be the pillar of her support.
Even if it meant forever!
