Meredith replied, "I am taking care of my daughter at home tonight."When Quinley heard this, her heart naturally began to waver.She grabbed a portion of the meal she just made at home and went straight to the hospital.Coincidentally, she came into the ward as soon as Josiah put down the phone."Josiah, are you feeling better?" Quinley walked in and asked happily.Josiah's anger caused by Meredith instantly turned into frost and condensed on his brows. His voice was bone-chilling. "Miss Allison, do you think it's appropriate for you to be here for two consecutive days?"Quinley was accustomed to his cold demeanor early in the morning, and said with a good-natured smile, "I heard from Meredith that she doesn't have time to take care of you tonight, so I just..."She raised the food container and said, "I made something delicious for you, but I don't know if it suits your taste.""Miss Allison, I didn't chase you away last night. I think you should understand why.""I understa
"Mommy, what are you looking at?!" Nia's voice sounded in her ear.Meredith came back to her senses and hurriedly turned off the screen of her phone. "It's nothing, Nia, have you finished solving the block puzzle?""Mommy, I forgot how to solve it.""How could you forget? You did it yourself last time." Meredith tried to distract herself and pulled Nia to the side of the sofa.The building block puzzle placed on the table was not difficult. With Nia's super-high IQ, it should not be a problem for her to solve it.Meredith asked with concern, "What's wrong, Nia?""Mommy, I don't remember which one should go first, blue or red.""Mommy told you last time, blue first.""Did Mommy tell me?""Of course, otherwise how did Nia learn it before?""Yes." Nia giggled and said, "Nia seems to have become stupid.""Silly girl, why are you so happy when you've become stupid?" Meredith raised her hand and rubbed her head. "Okay, Nia, try to solve it by yourself. Mommy will continue to cook.
After looking at each other for a while, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "The little princess and Mister Josiah really look alike, they look so good.""Yes, yes. So cute."Nia said with a smile, "Uncle, my Mommy is also very beautiful.""Ah..." Everyone was startled again and then nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, Mrs. Shelby is also very good-looking, hehe..."Josiah glanced at the figure standing at the door, put his arms around Nia's small body with one hand, and continued to read through the document. "Everyone, continue to read the next clause of the contract."Several high-level executives immediately turned their attention back to the contract.Meredith was a little embarrassed, standing at the door. Unexpectedly, she did not see the intimate scene between Josiah and Quinley, but instead, she disturbed his meeting.She secretly looked inside, and it was the first time she saw Josiah holding his daughter while he worked. The scene was very harmonious.Nia, who was sitting o
"..." Meredith gritted her teeth secretly.Did he not hate sweet things? She was not going to eat the cake for him.She smiled slightly and shook her head. "I won't eat it. After all, it's Nia's gift to you."Nia agreed. "It's for Daddy, but Mommy should eat too.""Oh, fine, I'll eat."Josiah took a bite. It was very sweet. It was so sweet that he almost flinched.Even someone like him who did not like desserts finished the whole cake.After eating the dessert, Josiah deliberately glanced at the time and said, "Nia, it's getting late. You have to go to school tomorrow, why don't you go home and sleep first?"Meredith also glanced at the time and said, "It's only eight o'clock."Josiah raised his eyebrows at her. "Is eight o'clock considered early to you?" "..." Meredith found that she had been caught by him again.Nia did not want to be separated from Daddy so early, and said, "Eight o'clock is still very early. Nia doesn't go to bed until half past nine.""Oh, then Nia ca
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.Josiah pulled her back. "Don't make trouble, our daughter is watching."Meredith looked up and saw that Nia was looking at the two of them curiously, obviously not understanding what they were doing.Nia smiled and said, "Mommy, Daddy can't bear to part with you, so you should stay with Daddy."In order to ease Daddy and Mommy's worries, she patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Daddy and Mommy, I will be good and obey Grandma Lily.""Wow, Nia is awesome." Josiah gave his daughter a thumbs up.After Nia was picked up by Lily and Walter, Meredith felt that it was not good. She turned around and said angrily to Josiah, "It's all your fault. I won't be able to send Nia to school tomorrow."Josiah smiled slightly.Sure, he did not mind taking the blame.The next day, Meredith claimed that she was going to the kitchen to get breakfast, and she left.Not long after, the nurse brought breakfast.Josiah looked at the breakfast sus
She retracted her hand and asked, "Why are you here?""My friend is looking for a substitute teacher, so I'm here to help her." Charlie pushed the juice in front of her. "Please drink it. You're welcome.""Thank you." Meredith looked at him. "Everyone here is learning musical instruments. Which class are you teaching?""Nia's class.""..." Meredith was slightly surprised. "You're the one who taught Nia the drum?"Charlie nodded. "Yes, the class has just ended."Meredith glanced at the door, only to realize that the two classes had already ended."I'll go back first." She got up and went to find Nia.Charlie held her and smiled lightly. "Nia has been picked up by her grandma.""What?""Her grandma happened to be shopping downstairs. I asked Nia if she wanted to be picked up by her grandmother. Nia said yes, and I sent her to her grandmother.""..."Charlie was worried that Meredith would be angry, and immediately added, "Grandma was very happy to see Nia."Meredith was not
"Why is Nia with you?""Charlie sent Nia to me. Oh, yes, I heard Nia say that Charlie is her drum teacher."Josiah's face sank instantly.Charlie was Nia's teacher, and now he gave Nia to Old Madam Shelby. Obviously, he was with Meredith!He put down his phone and immediately took the keys and drove out.While driving toward Nia's class, he dialed Meredith's number.Meredith's cell phone was muted, so naturally, she could not hear his calls.Josiah hung up the phone and instead used his mobile phone to locate her location, and found that she was still in the shopping mall where Nia had her classes.She did not move at all.When Josiah walked to the movie theater, Meredith and Charlie just finished watching the movie.The two were talking and laughing about the plot of the movie. When they saw Josiah, the two suddenly stopped.Charlie was the first to react and greeted him, "Cousin, why are you here? Are you here to watch a movie?"Josiah resisted the urge to beat him, and s
Meredith was speechless by what he said.He was right, she could have stopped Quinley from entering the mansion today."Meredith, aren't you tired?" Josiah looked at her and asked.Meredith opened her mouth and asked, "What do you mean?""You obviously care, but you have to pretend you don't care.""Aren't you doing the same?"Josiah thought for a while and nodded. "Yes, I admit that I sent you that photo on purpose. After I sent the photo, I drove Quinley away, and I didn't eat the meal she sent.""What about you? Aren't you tired?" she asked back."I admit that I'm tired, so I don't want to pretend anymore." Josiah's eyes gradually deepened. "Meredith, can we stop pretending?""...""Let's go directly to get the certificate, so we don't have to pretend."Get a certificate? He wanted the certificate again."Let go of me first." Meredith pushed his palm."Don't run away from the problem.""I…"Before Meredith could speak, Josiah interrupted her. "Meredith, don't tell me
