Chapter 236 “Why are you interested in a prostitute?” “I need to see how she looks right? What if the baby gets her
bad looks?” Josiah laughed, “Grandma, isn’t it funny that you’re worried about this?” The more that she listened to
their conversation, the more unsettled Meredith felt. Meredith wondered if Josiah deliberately wanted his
grandmother to think that the child’s mother was a prostitute and later if he wanted to get rid of the child, Josiah’s
grandmother would not be that affected.
After all, the Shelby family was a reputable family and even if Josialı’s grandmother really wanted a great-
grandchild, she could find other ways to do so instead of relying on a prostitute. Meredith thought that Josiah was
indeed cunning. Josiah’s grandmother was even more furious. “Josiah Shelby! You’re killing me!”
She then ended the call.
Putting down the phone, Josiah smiled at Meredith. “Did you hear that, Meredith Leighton? My grandmother is
disgusted by the fact that you’re a prostitute, so we can’t be sure about the baby’s future. Even if she does

seethed, “You’re despicable!”
“I’m not as cunning as you are, Miss Meredith,” Josiah sneered, “You want to see this to the end? I’ll gladly do it with
you.”
He then turned around and walked into his bedroom.
The next day was a weekend.
Josiah woke up a little later than usual and headed downstairs for breakfast.
He asked flatly, “Where is she?”
“Miss Meredith is still in bed,” Lily replied. “Go get her for breakfast.”
Lily nodded and went upstairs.
Not wanting to meet Josiah, Meredith pulled the blanket over her face and said, “I still want to sleep a little longer.
I’ll eat after.”
“But Sir said that you shouldn’t skip breakfast.”
“I’ll eat a little later.”
“Miss Meredith, Sir, he…he’s waiting for you.”
Miss Lily, of course, wanted to see Josiah and Meredith reconcile hence she added, “Miss Meredith, Sir is simply
worried about you and the baby, so he wants you to eat breakfast. Let’s
go, shall we? You wouldn’t want to get him on his nerves.
Josiah was worried about her and her baby?
Meredith found it ridiculous.
However, Meredith did not blame Lily for saying those because Lily did not know what happened last night during
the phone call with Josiah’s grandmother.
“Alright, Lily. I’ll get up now.” Meredith got off her bed, brushed up, and went downstairs into the dining hall.
Josiah was already eating while reading a business magazine. Hearing the footsteps sound, he said without even

“I was only thinking of eating a bit later,” Meredith replied and sat down opposite him.
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want to see you, why else?”
Josiah finally looked up from his magazine. Staring at her, he said, “If that’s what you want, abort the child then. I’ll
make sure that you never have to see me again.” Seeing how the both of them were about to fight again, Lily
quickly tried to smooth things over. “Um….arguing and getting angry is not good for the baby. You wouldn’t want
anything to happen to your child, right?
“Plus, the baby is extra sensitive to its surroundings, especially the relationship of its parents. Also, studies have
shown that it’s better for the development of the baby to have both parents around.”
Meredith took a glimpse at Josiah and met his gaze. Clearing her throat, Meredith responded, “Okay, Lily. I’ll try not
to get angry that often.” “No one knows if the baby will be birthed, so those don’t matter at all,” Josiah replied flatly.
Even though Meredith knew that Josiah did not want the child, his response still hurt her feelings.
