Still Loving You Nonetheless

Still Loving You Nonetheless By Snow de Eira Chapter 1291

"I woke up and found the missus gone. I was extremely worried. How would I be in the mood to eat?"

Meredith smiled. "How about I treat you to a meal?"

"Might I ask if you have money on you?"

Meredith touched her pockets. Her bag and phone were taken away, let alone money.

At that moment, she had nothing on her.

She shook her head. "No, I have no money. Why don't you buy me a meal instead?" "Okay, my treat." Josiah finally placed her back in her seat and started the car once more. Mrs. Shelby waited for a long time. She received no news from the city hall.

She called over and found out that Josiah and Ivy did not even go to the city hall. She was instantly so furious her expression changed.

"Does Josiah think that I don't dare to do anything to Meredith?" She gritted her teeth furiously.

Then, her phone rang. When she heard that Josiah rescued Meredith, she was so furious that she smashed the cup in her hands.

Suzy immediately bent down to pick up the broken shards.

"Where is that useless Ivy?" Mrs. Shelby yelled at Suzy.

"Ma'am, I'll call Miss Landers right now." Suzy immediately put down whatever she was doing, ran to the phone, and dialed Ivy.

However, the call stated that Ivy's phone was switched off. Suzy asked worriedly,

"Ma'am, do you think Miss Landers told everything to Sir and secretly ran away?"

"She won't dare to do it!" Mrs. Shelby said without giving it any thought, "Unless she doesn't want to see her little b*stard anymore."

Mrs. Shelby was confident in her control over Ivy.

"But Miss Landers is uncontactable right now."

"I'm guessing she is most likely hiding due to guilty conscience," Mrs. Shelby said nonchalantly, "don't worry, she will come back obediently."

After being rescued, Meredith did not return to Josiah's mansion to settle the score with Mrs. Shelby, since she had already realized that she was hard to communicate with.

After knowing that she did not have long to live, Meredith had even more reasons not to fight with her.

After having breakfast outside, Meredith was brought to the room in Josiah's office to rest. Since she almost did not sleep the entire night before, she slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, the sun was already setting.

"You're up?" Josiah's voice came from nearby.

Meredith did not know when Josiah sat by her bed.

"Why are you here? Don't you need to work?" She asked.

"I was done working, so I came to see you," Josiah said, " you must be hungry. Should we head out to eat?"

He could not bear to wake her up in the afternoon, so she did not even have lunch. It was also because he was worried that she would be hungry, which was why Josiah popped in to see her from time to time. Meredith looked at the sunset outside the window. "We don't need to go out and eat, right? We can order in."

"I have already made arrangements with Liam. Do you want to come along?"

"Sure." This time, Meredith agreed to it.

"Are you that eager?"

"Didn't you say that Liam saved me? I have to thank him in person, right?"

"Okay. We'll leave soon."

Meredith nodded before grabbing his arm. She asked, " By the way, how is Ivy? She did not register her marriage. Mrs. Shelby surely won't let her go, right?"

Meredith subconsciously said, "It seems like not only does she has feelings for Liam. Liam has feelings for her too."

"Liam said that he did not want to see US have regrets. It was just a coincidence that he knew the perps Mother hired, so he helped US."

"Do you believe him?"

"I..." Josiah thought for a while before shaking his head. "You know that I'm rather dense in this type of matter."

"No matter what, I don't believe him."

"But whatever it is, watch your words. After all, he is getting married to Miss Young soon."

"Don't worry. I'm not that brainless," Meredith said.

In a private dining restaurant, Meredith raised her glass and clinked with Liam's.

"Thank you for saving me, Mister Liam. Thank you."

Liam smiled and took a swig of wine. "It's not my first time helping you out. You don't have to thank me."

"Now that you mention it, I have to

drink another round with you,"

Meredith added more wine for themselves. Josiah immediately stopped her. "That's enough You'll get drunk if you continue."

"You're here. I'm not afraid."

"I'm afraid," Josiah said with a smile, "I'm afraid that you'll do something bad to me later, okay?"

"Don't worry. I won't." Meredith took the glass back from Josiah.

Liam could not help but sweep Josiah a glance. "I'm not even afraid of drinking.

Why are you afraid of her drinking some wine?"

"Yes," Meredith said to Liam, "come, Mister Liam. Thank you for all your help all this while. I will never forget you."

Josiah cleared his throat. "You take back the latter half of the sentence." Meredith and Liam looked at each other. Liam shook his head.

Toward the second half of the

dinner, Meredith, who said that she

would not ramble nonsense, was gradually numbed by the alcohol.

She leaned forward and grabbed

Liam by the collar.

She burped without any regard for her image and pointed at his handsome face.

"Liam, are you really going to get married to Miss Young?"

Liam nodded. "I am."

"Do you like her?"

"1 do." Liam was also a little drunk. His gaze was out of focus. He grabbed her hand. "I like her very much, so much that I want to marry her immediately."

"I don't believe you." Meredith shook her head.

"Why don't you believe me? Am I not

worthy of the women I like?" Liam smiled bitterly at her. "Edith, do you know why I rooted for you and helped you back then?"

Meredith shook her head. "Why?"

"Because you looked a lot like her..."

"Who? Miss Young?" Meredith shook her head. "We do not look alike. She is much younger and bubblier than me..."

"Ivy..."

"Ah, Ivy?" Meredith was stunned for a while before pointing at him and giggling.

"See, I knew that you liked Ivy. I knew it..." "Shh..." Liam shushed her with a gesture.

Meredith mimicked his gesture. "Don't worry. It's a secret. I won't tell anyone." "I like Edith the best." They high-fived.

Meredith nosily leaned closer toward Liam and asked in a mysterious tone.

"But...why do you like Ivy? Because she's pretty?"

"Yes...pretty. She is also great, and she understands me well, so I like her a lot."

Liam patted Meredith on the head. "As great as you..."

"Am I great?" Meredith smiled foolishly and asked, "Joe has never said that I was great."
