Chapter 1077


    Nia shook her head and replied, “To be honest, I’ve always been thinking about this question too.”


    Meredith was surprised that Nia had been thinking about questions like these. She had never expected


    that Nia would think like that.


    Because Nia had always been cheerful and bubbly, Meredith thought that those kinds of thoughts


    would not ur to Nia.


    “Darling, why would you think about such things?”


    “Because after Papa Charlie left, I’m worried that my stepfather or stepmother wouldn’t like me,” Nia


    replied with tears welling up in her eyes.


    Meredith felt something weighing down on her, making her hard to breathe.


    She then quicklyforted her, “That won’t happen, don’t worry, sweetheart. I won’t let anyone hurt


    you.”


    Nia nodded


    “There, there, now. I’m sorry for making you cry,” Meredith wiped away Nia’s tears and said, “let’s go


    shop for new dresses.” “Is it to get a new dress for the dinner party?” Nia’s eyes lit up immediately.


    Meredith did not expect that Nia would still be thinking about that.


    Did Nia want to attend the party this badly?


    Studying her mother’s expression, the light in Nia’s eyes dimmed gradually. In the end, she mumbled


    under her breath, “It’s okay. If you don’t want to go, I don’t want to go too.” Meredith, of course, could


    not stand her pitiful expression andpromised right away. “Oh no, darling. I was just thinking if we’d


    be able to find the right dress for you at this mall.”


    Nia’s eyes immediately lit up again.


    “Do you mean that you’ll let me attend Daddy’s dinner party?”


    “How can I say no when you want to go badly?”


    “Yay! You’re the best, Mommy! I am so happy!” Nia leaned in to kiss her mother on the cheek.


    With a smile on her face, Meredith walked Nia to a children’s fashion boutique.


    They shopped for a while but failed to find a suitable dress for Nia. Meredith suddenly remembered that


    if Josiah nned to take Nia to the party, he would have prepared a dress for Nia.

    But on second thought, Josiah would have most probably got Nia an expensive dress. Meredith did not


    think it would be too much for Nia to wear such an expensive dress that would garner a lot of attention


    on her.


    In the end, she made a call to Mister Yoseph.


    “Hi Yoseph, Can I have a look at the dress that Josiah had prepared for Nia?” She cut right to the


    chase.


    Mister Yoseph was rather startled. “Do you mean that you’re willing to let Nia attend the party?”


    “It’s Nia. She insisted on going.”


    “Really? That’s great news,” Mister Yoseph sounded d, “please give me a moment. I’ll send the


    address of the dress shop to you. You can take Nia there and she can choose the dress she wants.


    Oh, and the shop has dresses for adults too. You can choose one that you like.” “It’s fine, I don’t need


    one,” Meredith went on, “do send me the address, thank you, Mister Yoseph.” After ending the call,


    Meredith received the address from Mister Yoseph.


    Meredith checked the address and realized that the shop was just nearby. Hence, she took Nia to the


    shop to choose her dress. As soon as they showed up at the shop, she found Josiah seated on the


    couch, flippingzily through a magazine. She froze and quickly scanned the ce.


    She wondered if Josiah was here to help Miss Lucy to choose her dress.


    At the sight of her father, Nia of course was excited. She ran over to Josiah and asked, “Daddy, why


    are you here?”
