Josiah looked at her. His expressions finally turned serious. “To get you back.”
“You…” Meredith thought that she has misheard.
To get her back? What did that have to do with Nia?
She soon realized that Josiah knew about her feelings for Nia. He also knew that Nia was the only person she could
never let go of. If he were to get custody of Nia, Meredith would obediently return to him, just like two years ago.
That jerk. He had planned it all along.
“Josiah, you would even not consider Nia’s feelings just to get me back?” Meredith glared at him. “Nia had grown up
with me. Do you think she won’t miss her Mommy?”
“Children are easy to coax. You just need a little while,” Josiah said nonchalantly, “look at how when you two just

“Then, have you ever thought what would happen if she were without her Mommy? Do you think she could accept
it? Do you think she’ll be happy?”
Josiah looked at her and retorted, “Meredith, look at yourself currently. Is there any difference for Nia?”
Meredith did not understand what he meant.
Josiah continued, “With your current relationship with Charlie, do you think that it would be suitable for Nia to stay
with you two? Let’s not mention Nia, even me seeing you being beaten by Charlie all the time, yet you still have to
coax Charlie, I already feel bad about it. Do you think Nia would feel any better seeing you this way?”
Meredith was speechless.
“The atmosphere of the family is so important for a child’s growth. I’m sure I don’t need to explain this to you,
right?” Josiah walked over to the bar and poured another cup of juice for her. “I’ve already said it. Drink some juice
to calm down. Once you have already calmed down, you can think properly.”
Looking at the teasing in his eyes, Meredith was so furious she pushed the cup away once more.
This time, the cup did not fall. Josiah held it carefully.
Meredith coldly said, “Charlie will slowly get better. He had always treated Nia well.”
“No matter how good he is. He is still a murderer after all.”
“You-”
“Oh, attempted murder,” Josiah corrected himself.
“Josiah, have some mercy!” Meredith’s nose turned sore.
She did not know why, although Charlie was the one who staged Josiah’s accident, hearing Josiah say that about
Charlie, she still felt uncomfortable about it.
The Charlie in her heart should not be burdened with such a sin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was because of her! Thus, how could she abandon him and return to Josiah just because of Nia’s custody? She
would never!
“Josiah, you’re shameless!”
“Say whatever you want to say,” Josiah stood up indifferently. He turned around, took a few steps, and looked at
her. “No matter what, I won’t let my daughter live with a criminal.”
“Charlie is not that type of person!”
“Whether he is this type of person or not, you know it yourself.” Josiah paused for a while before taking a step
closer to her. “Unless you can tell me once Charlie is in prison, how are you going to explain to Nia? Are you going
to lie to her like previously, saying that her Daddy has gone somewhere far away to work? Will she believe you?”
Meredith had known him for so many years, being tortured by him, or even torturing him, yet every time she stood
in front of him, she still felt an unbearable sense of oppression. It was like an angry lion glaring at her, suffocating
her.
