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 shest heard Nia mention Charlie.


    It might be that she had been disorientedtely 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.”


    “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 ns 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 nce at the front door.


    If Josiah indeed had ns to invite her to the dinner party, he would have delivered dresses to her


    ce 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 upy 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 meant 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 ying and having fun, kids your age shouldn‘t be wanting to read books


    all the time.”

    “Daddy says that we should read more to be 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 bing 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 iszy.”
