Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 29

Glaring at Josiah, her tone changed as she asked, “Mister Josiah, what do I need to do for you to not call the cops?” “Are you saying that you’re willing to do anything? Just like last night?”

Last night…

Recalling how she was humiliated last night, Meredith’s eyes welled up with tears. But she had no options left. Nodding her head, she replied, “Yes.” “Alright then, follow me.”

Josiah headed toward the VIP suite room that was at the end of the hallway.

Meredith hesitated before following behind Josiah.

As soon as he entered the suite, Josiah sat down on the sofa and said to her, “Pour me a glass of whiskey.”

Meredith then walked toward the bar, placed ice cubes in a glass, and poured whiskey into the glass.

Meredith still remembered the temperature and taste that Josiah preferred his whiskey. She even remembered the number of ice cubes that he preferred.

Taking the glass from her, Josiah took a sip and glanced at her. “The whiskey still tastes the same. But who knows if Mrs. Shelby still tastes the same.”

Meredith was rendered speechless.

Three years ago, Josiah had despised her to his core. Now that three years had passed, it would not be likely that he would still be interested in her ruined body.

“What are you waiting for? You can start your performance now.” Pretending as if he did not notice the pain in her eyes, Josiah took another sip from the glass.

Taking a deep breath, Meredith looked at him and asked, “Mister Josiah, will you really let me go if I take off my clothes?”

Although it was the same kind of derogatory act, Meredith would rather do it with Josiah instead of the creep, Mister Leon. After all, he was good-looking, charismatic, and he was the only person that she had loved in the past twenty years.

And most importantly, her body was already his to start with. Slowly slipping off her white dress, she stood in front of him in her bare skin. Her body did not look the same as three years ago.

There was a dark red scar stretching from her arms to the back of her hand, until her fingers. The light in Josiah’s eyes dimmed. But he did not say a word. Even though Josiah had seen her naked before, Meredith still found the situation embarrassing. Her face and body were flushed red and she desperately wanted to bury herself

Leaning toward him, Meredith then wrapped her arms around his shoulders and whined,” Mister Leon, you’re late. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Sorry, love. I’ll do what I can to make you feel better, okay?” It was obvious that Leon was drunk. The smell of both alcohol and his sweat almost had Meredith throwing up.

“Okay.” Doing her best to put up with him, Meredith said flirtatiously, “What are you waiting for, Mister Leon? Hurry up. I can’t wait any longer.”

Leon, who could hardly wait any longer, lowered his head and was about to kiss Meredith.

“Mister Leon,” Meredith whispered softly as she placed a finger on Leon’s lips.

“My mask…” “Ah, yes, the mask!” Leon removed the mask from her face and said, “Why would you hide your stunning looks behind a mask, we…holy sh*t!”

Leon let out a sudden cry and pushed Meredith to the floor. With a horrified look on his face, Leon glared at her and demanded, “Who the hell are you?!” Meredith who was pushed to the ground felt a piercing pain spread through her back, causing her to shudder.

But it was nothing compared to the pain she felt in her heart.

She was well aware of the fact that she was no longer the gorgeous and talented lady that people knew of her, and instead, her face was disfigured in the most horrible way possible.

Holding back the tears welling up in her eyes, Meredith got up on her feet. She then tried to inch closer to Leon.

“Mister Leon, it’s me, Meredith Leighton. Didn’t you say that you fancied me?”

“Are you crazy? There is no way that Meredith would look this way!” Leon stumbled his way toward the door, all the while screaming for help, “Save me! There’s a hideous monster in here!”

Chasing up to him, Meredith said, “Mister Leon, please don’t go. You promised to make me happy tonight…”

“You…you…get the hell away from me!” Running out from the guest room, Leon turned around to find that Meredith was chasing after him and he started panicking, causing him to stumble even more.

When turning around a corner, Leon accidentally knocked his head on the wall, and he passed out instantly. Pretending to be sad, Meredith kneeled by his side and wept, “Mister Leon, are you alright? Get up and play with me.”

“Mister Leon, I am Meredith Leighton, I really am Meredith, I…” After ‘sobbing’ for a little longer, Meredith noticed a pair of shiny leather shoes in front of her. Judging from the size of the shoes, Meredith knew right away that they belonged to Josiah.meredith was startled. In a flurry, she quickly put on the mask removed by Leon before Looking at Josiah

“Joe, what do we do? Mister Leon passed out after seeing me.”

“Let’s call the cops,” replied Josiah as his lips tugged into a smirk.

The cops? Meredith felt her heart skip a beat. She then took a glance at Leon who was bleeding on his forehead. Would she be arrested for aggravated assault?

Just when one of Josiah’s attendants was about to make a call, Meredith cried out, “Hold on She rushed toward where Josiah stood, wrapped her arms around his leg, and begged, “Mis Josiah, I didn’t mean to hurt Mister Leon. Please don’t call the cops on me. Please, I’m beg you!”

She knew that Josiah would leap at every chance he got to torture her.He would definitely exaggerate her offenses to the cops. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

What would happen to Nia if she were sent to jail? And who would pay for Nia’s medical

“Prostitution and aggravated assault…how are you going to get rid of these two major offenses?”

“I did not do any of those.” Meredith shook her head. “Here it goes again, that innocent and lost expression,” scoffed Josiah as he continued,” Meredith, aren’t you tired of all these pretending?”

Meredith knew that there was no point in explaining herself to Josiah when he was determined to get revenge. Just like that year.

Glaring at Josiah, her tone changed as she asked, “Mister Josiah, what do I need to do for you to not call the cops?”

“Are you saying that you’re willing to do anything? Just like last night?”

Last night… Recalling how she was humiliated last night, Meredith’s eyes welled up with tears. But she had no options left. Nodding her head, she replied, “Yes.”

Even though Josiah had seen her naked before, Meredith still found the situation embarrassing. Her face and body were flushed red and she desperately wanted to bury herself in a hole,

But she did not flinch and instead, forced a smile on her face. “Mister Josiah, are you satisfied?

“Remove that mask,” ordered Josiah. Holding back the feelings of slight amusement, Josiah continued taking sips from his glass of whiskey. Meredith hesitated this time around. “Why? You can’t do it?” “1…” She said, “I’m simply worried that you’d run for your life, like Mister Leon after seeing me.”

Crossing his legs, Josiah leaned his back on the sofa. Pulling into a bewitching smile, he said, “I’ve seen you when you look the most disgusting. So take it off, the mask.”

Meredith could only remove the mask as instructed.

As the scarred part of her face was slowly revealed , Josiah, who was drinking from his glass, froze. He was stunned.

However, he did not run for his life like Mister Leon.

Meredith did not expect Josiah to react this way. Feeling slightly disappointed, she chuckled,” Are you sure you want to sleep with me after seeing my face?”
