Still Loving You Nonetheless
Chapter 1032

Chapter 1032 "Actually...there's nothing wrong if a woman wants to be taken care of by a man, "Josiah said.

"Only when that man is willing to take care of that woman, right?" Meredith replied.

"Yes." As if it was not obvious enough for Meredith to understand that Josiah was referring to himself in that context.

Meredith just smiled and continued drinking the cocktail. Although she did not get drunk, her body was slowly starting to feel warm. She patted her warm cheeks lightly and shook her head, "Oh no. I can't drink anymore. I'll get drunk if I drink more."

"Don't worry. You won't get drunk," Josiah assured.

"But I'm worried." She held her face and shook while mumbling in a low voice," What's going to happen if I'm drunk and accidentally sleep with you again? Charlie'll be very sad and angry." "Edith, you're starting to talk nonsense again," Josiah sighed helplessly.

He reached out his hand and toucher Meredith's face. "Don't keep on minding how Charlie will feel. He's not that resentful as you think he is."

"That's just not impossible." Meredith continued to shake her head. "It's human nature to be selfish when loving someone. You don't want to see your love being nice and too close to the opposite sex. So if Charlie said he doesn't mind, he is just pretending to not care."

Josiah held Meredith's face and looked deeply into her eyes from a condescending angle, "Edith, are you really drunk? Or your mind is having a problem again?"

Meredith looked back, "I'm not drunk."

"Hmm, you don't look drunk to me too. So please wake up and clear your head." Josiah passed a glass of fruit juice to her. "Come, drink some juice to freshen up your mind."

Meredith accepted it and took a sip. Her mind felt clearer after that. She took a look at her watch. "Come on, it's better for us to go now. Nia's competition is tomorrow, we must go and support her."

"It's alright. It's just a normal competition anymore," Josiah said. "Didn't you say it too? Participation is more important than the result."

"I know I said that but that doesn't mean you don't have to give your best in it." Finally, Meredith remembered to ask, "Oh I've been wanting to ask who is the organizer of the piano competition. I mean they have such a huge budget for this competition. Having the competition in such an expensive resort and even including the accommodation, meals, and activities."

It was not the first time Meredith asked. Josiah told her the organizer was one of the youth training institutions so she did not think too much of it. However, when she overheard other parents saying that the organizer was sponsoring all of the fees included, she became wary. Theoretically speaking, training institutions would hardly have the budget to organize such a luxurious trip.

Josiah sensed that Meredith was starting to be suspicious, he simply made out a white lie. "It's an event organized by Love Youth Training Institution. Since Nia is interested to participate, I just took the liberty to sponsor it." "You what? You were the one who sponsored?" Meredith was astonished. "No wonder it's so luxurious. But what if Nia wins it? Will she be criticized by other people?" "No," Josiah was certain. "How do you know that?" Meredith asked.

"Because it is an anonymous sponsorship," Josiah answered.

'Anonymous sponsorship?' Meredith could not help and examine the man in front of her again. Frankly speaking, this was the first time she saw Josiah splurged ever since Nia came into their picture. No, wait. She meant putting much thought into such a small event.

In the past, Shelby Group would always make large amounts of donations to different charities. However, that was for the reputation of the group. It had nothing relevant to do with his own will.

Josiah grew up and living the life of a business empire since he was small. Oth than being ruthless and overbearing, he never showed sympathy to the weak. From the looks of it, Nia did change him.
