FreeNovelChapter 975 It was because she did not want to be involved with Josiah anymore. And she did not want to keep tormenting each other anymore.
Josiah had clearly heard what she had promised Charlie's mother the other day. Yet, he still could not accept it. "Meredith Leighton, do you not want parental custody for Nia anymore? Are you not fighting for it anymore?" With tears welling up in her eyes, Meredith's gaze started to blur.
"I don't want it anymore and neither am | fighting for it." "What did you say? You don't want Nia anymore?" Josiah was aghast.
He only agreed to go to court for Nia's custody so that he could force Meredith to return to him. But he did not expect that Meredith would give up even before they went to court.
"It's not that | don't want Nia anymore. | just don't want her to go around with me, not being able to settle down." Trying her best to sound calm, she added, "Besides, | agree with Charlie

There's nothing for me to worry about if she stays with the Shelbys." "You were the one who said it, didn't you? That Nia had suffered too much back then and it's time for her to grow up with love and care from both of her parents." Meredith did say such a thing.
But when she decided to move abroad with Charlie, she knew that it would not be possible anymore.
Even more so now.
She took a deep breath before saying, "It's fine as long as Nia knows that we love her a lot. | believe that she'll be able to understand.” Meredith believed that Nia would definitely understand as she was considerate.
"Josiah, please do me a favor and send Nia to school tomorrow," Meredith added.
"You know that it is Nia's first day of school tomorrow yet you're not going to come to see her?" "No." Meredith was worried that Nia would not be willing to let her go once Nia saw her.
"I don't know what else to tell Nia if you don't show up tomorrow. And | don't want to lie to her that you're simply busy with work. Edith, Nia, and I...".
Before Josiah could finish his sentence, Meredith quickly ‘ended the call.
She knew that Josiah wanted to meet her using Nia as an excuse. But she had to stop getting involved with Josiah. She could not make the same mistakes that she did last time.
She had to stand firm on her ground.
After ending the call, she continued to water the plants.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKimberly's voice was suddenly heard. "Miss Meredith, the plants are going to drown in water." It was then Meredith realized that the flower pot was overflowing with water.
She quickly put down the water can.
Kimberly walked over and took a glimpse at the flower pot.
"Miss Meredith, if you miss your ex-husband and daughter, why don't you go home to them instead? In any case, Charlie doesn't want to see you." Meredith could not be bothered to explain herself. She simply replied flatly, "Don't you know that it's rude to eavesdrop on ‘someone else's conversation? Do you not even have the most basic manners, Miss Kimberly?" She then turned around and was about to walk away.
"Wait," Kimberly suddenly called out to her.
Meredith came to a stop, turned around, looked at her, and said, "If you're trying to convince me to leave Charlie, you can
save it. Because I've made myself clear a lot of times, and | don't want to repeat myself." "Why don't you just be honest and say what it takes for you to be willing to leave Charlie," Kimberly stood in front of Meredith, stared at her, and said, "Charlie doesn't want to move abroad with you, don't you see it? Can you stop lying to yourself?" "I've said it and I'll say it again. Unless Charlie falls for you after he gets his memories back, if not, | will never let you have him." Solemnly, she added, "This is my last time telling you this. | hope that you'll stop asking." Watching as Meredith walked away, Kimberly fumed, "Just so you wait! Even if Charlie gets his memories back, he will never like you!" Meredith took a turn and disappeared into the house.
It was Nia's first day of school and Meredith of course wanted to send her to school. She even woke up early but she held herself back.
She prepared breakfast like usual.
Charlie and Kimberly showed up at the dining hall to see an absent-minded Meredith who was in the middle of preparing breakfast.
