Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 599

Chapter 599

Inside was already filled with guests. Josiah had his arm around her while exchanging pleasantries with other guests

with a wine glass in his hand. Meredith was by his side, like a pre-programmed robot, smiling, raising her glass, and

drinking… The only difference from her silly past was that she almost recognized all the famous people there. Her

actions and words were no longer that crazy either. Everyone was still as fawning and flattering to her as usual. She

knew that it was because of Josiah.

“Change to a fruit juice, don’t get yourself drunk,” Josiah muttered closely in her ear.

Meredith refused to heed his advice, she even deliberately said to the man opposite her,” Mister Leon, it has been a

while. Thank you for looking out for me back then.”

Then, she downed the red wine in her glass in front of Josiah.

Mister Leon immediately followed suit. He praised her and said, “Mrs. Shelby, you hold your alcohol very well! Not

bad, not bad.” Josiah was speechless. Meredith was openly defying him.

Meredith held her glass and immediately said to the other man, “Mister Zach, hello! I’m Meredith. Let me raise my

glass to you.” Mister Zach was a little surprised by the honor. He nodded and started drinking.

When Meredith found her next target, Josiah immediately pulled her back in her arms and said

in her ears, “I’ll take you to the lounge to have a rest.” “Okay, thank you, hubby.” Meredith was already a little

drunk. She smiled sweetly at him.

She could not ask for more! After all, being secretly observed by others with a weird gaze, and having to pretend to

keep up a smile was a torturing thing. Josiah brought her to the lounge and placed her down on the sofa. He passed

her a small booklet. “See what you like here. I’ll bid for it and give it to you.” Meredith swept a glance at the booklet

of antique jewelry. She shook her head. “No. I don’t want anything!” “Why? I remember that you used to like things

like this in the past.” In the past? How carefree and happy she was back then. However, at that moment… Meredith

pushed away the booklet. “I only want Nia. I don’t want anything else!” Josiah was not angry. He flipped through the

booklet and pointed at an emerald hairpin. “This suits you. Do you like it?”

Meredith looked at the hairpin. She could not look away. It was indeed something that she liked. However, she could

not take her eyes off it was not because she liked it. It was because she once had the same hairpin.

On her 18th birthday, her mother gave it to her.

Back then, when her mother placed the hairpin on her hair, the guests there praised her, saying she looked like a

princess from the olden days.

Later, when things happened to her, Ysabelle snatched away her hairpin and spat on her.” What right do you think

you have to be a princess?”

She remembered what her mother said before about the hairpin being passed on from the Renaissance. It was one

of a kind. Back then, her mother spent a huge fortune to bid on it for her as her birthday present. She did not

expect that the hairpin would once again appear at the auction. Josiah saw her looking at the hairpin in a daze. He

raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you like

it?”

Meredith finally looked away. “No.”

Even if she liked it and wanted it, she did not want him to give it to her. He was not worthy of

it!

Naturally, she could not hide her intentions from Josiah. “Once the bidding starts, I’ll come to get you.” Josiah got up

from the sofa.
