Chapter 1074 “But it‘s not healthy to eat instant noodles.” “Papa Charlie said it‘s fine to have them once in a
while.”
Nia‘s response caught Meredith off guard and she was suddenly lost in her own thoughts.
It had been long since she last heard Nia mention Charlie.
It might be that she had been disoriented lately and Nia had been staying with Josiah, hence, she was spending less
time with Nia. Meredith grabbed two packets of instant noodles from the aisle and said, “Okay, let‘s have it then.”
“Yay! That‘s great, I can finally have some instant noodles!” Nia cheered.
Meredith shook her head and smiled, “Look at you all happy just because of instant
noodles. People would think that I‘ve been starving you.”
“Because I love having instant noodles.”
“True, most kids enjoy having this type of noodles.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Why?”
“Because kids enjoy junk food,” Meredith replied.
Nia‘s watch rang, and Meredith caught a glimpse of the number who was calling, it was Josiah.
“Daddy, I won‘t be able to have dinner with you tonight because Mommy has picked me up from school,” Nia said.
Josiah replied, “Is that so? If that‘s the case, would you stay with Mommy tonight?”
Nia was slightly stunned. She asked worriedly, “Daddy, are you mad at me? Is that why you don‘t want me to go
home?”
“Why would I be angry that you‘re spending time with your mom?” Josiah added, “I have things to do tonight and I‘ll
be leaving at noon. I didn‘t want to leave you all alone so I think it‘d be better if you stay with your Mommy.”
“Oh, okay,” Nia replied and stopped her questions. Meredith, on the other hand, was feeling rather bothered. She
was wondering if Josiah really had no plans of inviting her to the dinner party.
Could it be that what Goldie had assumed was simply just an assumption?
But of course, she did not say anything.
It was when Nia ended the call that Meredith said to her, “If your dad is busy tomorrow as well, you can stay with
me for the next two days.”
“Okay.” It did not matter to Nia who she would be staying with. The next morning when Meredith woke up, she
unconsciously took a glance at the front door.
If Josiah indeed had plans to invite her to the dinner party, he would have delivered dresses to her place at this
time. But there were no signs of him.
It seemed as if she could finally be relieved.
She went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Nia. During breakfast, she then asked,” Where do you want to go
today, Nia? Mommy will bring you there.”
Meredith needed to find something to occupy her time so that she would not think of Josiah.
It was a good thing that Josiah did not invite her to the dinner party and it was just what she wished for. At least, it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmeant that Josiah would finally leave her alone now.
Meredith tried to convince herself that this was for the best.
Nia wanted to go to a library.
Meredith was slightly stunned. Studying her daughter, she asked, “Why a library? Don‘t you want to go to the
amusement park instead?”
“But I want to read books.”
“But kids your age should be playing and having fun, kids your age shouldn‘t be wanting to read books all the
time.”
“Daddy says that we should read more to become a better person. If not, I‘ll just end up being useless.”
“Who says so? Who says that just because you don‘t read, you‘ll end up becoming useless? Don‘t listen to your
dad.” Meredith said. But quickly, she corrected herself,” To be honest, what I‘m trying to say is that you‘re still
young and you don‘t need to drown yourself in absorbing too much knowledge. As you grow up, you‘d learn things
and gain knowledge along the way. After all, you‘re not someone who is lazy.”
