Chapter 1079 “It’s not that…” Meredith struggled to explain herself, “I already said that I’m not trying to stop you
from getting married again. What I hope is for you to at least take care of Nia’s feelings. For instance, you shouldn’t
even have asked her to attend tonight’s party.
“But forget it. It’s impossible to not let Nia attend now.” Meredith looked at Nia who was happily picking out a dress
and went on, “I only have one request. Please don’t let Nia be put under too much attention at the dinner tonight.
And as for you and Miss Lucy, please do be aware of your interactions in front of Nia.”
Josiah closed the magazine and nodded. “I can understand and I do agree with the former request. After all, it
would only bring inconvenience to Nia if she gets too much attention. I will try to do whatever I can to make sure of
that. Or perhaps, we can just not introduce her as my daughter. “That would be for the best,” Meredith replied.
Josiah then said, “But about the latter…it’s a bit tricky. After all, both Miss Lucy and I would be the most eye-

Meredith thought that Josiah was quite shameless.
She, of course, knew that as the host of the event, it would be impossible for Josiah to stay low. Gnawing on her lips,
she asked, “Then what are you going to say to Nia?”
“I’ll tell her the truth – that I’ll have to marry someone.”
“No!”
At the thought of Nia’s tears, Meredith immediately stopped him. Josiah stared at her, raised his brows, and asked,
“Then what do you think I should do?”
Meredith pondered a bit and finally came up with a rather lousy suggestion.” Why not let Nia stay for a bit at the
first half of the party, and when you’re going to show up with Miss Lucy, I’ll take her with me then.” Josiah nodded
slightly as he looked at Nia who was in a princess dress and said,” Wouldn’t it then be a waste for the dress that Nia
is wearing?”
“She’ll be fine if she gets to have fun for a while. She wouldn’t mind the rest.”
“What about you?” Josiah shifted his gaze onto her and asked, “Who are you going to show up as? As Nia’s nanny?
Or as a representative of Leighton Group? Or…”
Before he finished his sentence, Meredith interrupted, “As Nia’s caretaker.”
It was the best option.
Josiah hesitated for a while and suggested, “Maybe you’d want to choose a dress too? And replace Miss Lucy as my
plus-one so that Nia would not feel uncomfortable.”
“It won’t happen,” Meredith said without any hesitation.
“Why? Is it too humiliating for you to come as my plus-one?”
“No, people will talk and I don’t want to be in the center of attention anymore,” Meredith went on, “it took so long

stopped? It’s because of the post.”
If she attended the dinner party with him, they would be able to stick to the story written in the post.
And the three of them would reunite as a family. And this was what most of the netizens would like to see. “There
were a bunch of criticisms underneath the post and did you perhaps automatically filter them?”
Meredith’s stance was firm and she too still felt slightly bothered by the fact she did not get an invitation from
Josiah, but she would reject him without any hesitation if he did invite him.
She did not want to drag the conversation as well. “It depends entirely on you how you’re going to show up at the
party.” She then stood up and went to help Nia pick out her dress. Nia walked over to them and asked happily,
“Daddy, Mommy, do I look good?” Josiah nodded. “It looks good on you. My little princess looks good in everything.”
He said the same thing as Meredith. Meredith took a glance at him and said to Nia, “It does look good, darling. But I
think the white one looks better on you.”
