Chapter 937
Josiah felt like giving himself a big slap. He stared with full attention as Meredith was nowhere in his sight. He
lowered his head and saw Nia’s curious-looking little face. He placed his hand on her hand and rubbed it “Mommy is
just feeling a little down. She’ll be fine after a nap.”
“Daddy, why is Mommy feeling down? Did she have a fight with Papa Charlie?” Nia asked curiously.
She had spent quite an amount of time together with Meredith and Charlie. No matter how nice they hid it, Nia
could sense there was a problem between both of them.
Josiah saw the worry in Nia’s eyes. He denied it instantly, “Of course not. Your mommy is a kind person. She never
fights with anyone.”
Nia gave it a thought and agreed with Josiah. “Then why is Mommy feeling unhappy?”

it’s not good for us to keep on asking,” Josiah explained.
“Okay,” Nia replied.
“Don’t worry. She just needs a nap,” Josiah said.
“Alright. I’m going to do my homework.” Nia sprung up from the couch and reminded her Daddy before leaving.
“Daddy, remember to tell me when Mommy is up. And don’t make her angry.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t dare,” Josiah smiled.
The only thing he wanted to do was to comfort her and make her happy. Making her angry was the last thing in his
mind.
When Meredith woke up from her nap, she saw Nia sitting beside her bed with a big smile on her face. She reached
out her hand and rubbed Nia’s head. “What’s wrong? Why are you so happy?”
“Mommy, Granny Lily cooked buttered shrimp. Can we go eat it now?” Nia asked.
“You have not eaten your dinner?” Meredith looked at the time from the clock on the wall. “It’s almost seven.”
“Daddy and I ate some fruits just now. We’re not that hungry,” Nia said.
In fact, they were waiting to have dinner together with Meredith. When Meredith found out they had not eaten, she
quickly got up. The table was full of her favorite dishes.
Lily placed the dishes and said respectfully, “It had been a long time since Miss Meredith was here. I don’t know if
your taste bug is still the same. I hope you’ll enjoy these dishes.”
“Thank you, Lily. I don’t really have a preference.” Meredith looked at the dishes but her mind was wondering if
Charlie had had his dinner. According to his habit, she did not think he had eaten.
Wait, no. She should not think about him all the time. Or she would end up as Josiah said, unable to let go of Charlie
for the rest of her life.

“Thanks, Mommy.” Nia took a bit and nodded with praise. “Hmm… Granny Lily, this buttered shrimp is so tasty! It
tastes the same as how Mommy cooked it.”
Then she also took a piece for her Mommy. “Now, it’s your turn to eat it.”
Josiah looked at Nia and was amused. He smiled and said, “Nia, your Mommy is not a kid. You don’t have
to treat her like a little kid to make her eat.”
“What’s wrong with it? Mommy, you don’t like it?” Nia asked.
“I like it.” Meredith put more food onto Nia’s plate. She was touched, “I’m happy to see how thoughtful Nia
is.”
Ever since they returned back, they had never had dinner so peacefully together. Josiah was not the only one
missing this feeling but Nia liked it very much too. On the contrary, Meredith was feeling complex because of
