Oh, is it? It seems like you understand them very well," Josiah said."Well, I attended some psychology classes before," Meredith explained."Then do you think you could go back together with me?" Josiah tried his luck."Do you think that's possible?" Meredith asked in return.She did not think Old Madam Shelby could accept her marriage to Charlie after being in a marriage with Josiah. In fact, she herself was quite speechless about it."I don't think you'll go," Josiah said and that was the reason why he stayed.Meredith said, "Why don't you bring Nia back and spend the time together with them?""And leave you here all alone in Jehovah City?" Josiah asked."I don't mind it. I can use some time to myself," Meredith said truthfully.So many had happened in this period of time. She did not pay attention to her work nor did she have the time to rest. It would be nice if she could use the holiday to take a good rest. Of course, Josiah did not think it was safe to leave Meredith al
After breakfast, the trio went out together. It was the first time Josiah went to the farmers' market. He was not interested in the flowers and decorations nor was he interested in places that weres bustling with noises. However, he still appreciated the time spent together with Meredith and Nia.Even when he was being treated as a porter and being pushed here and there by the crowd, he endured it in a good manner. Other than the flowers Nia like, Meredith also chose a few stalks of sunflowersJosiah looked at the sunflowers in Meredith's arms and remembered the situation when Meredith and Charlie visited him in the hospital. Their house had planted plenty of sunflowers and Meredith was never a fan of sunflowers before. Did she buy it because of Charlie?"Edith, it's not the season for sunflowers yet. It's not the right time to plant them," Josiah could not help but remind her.Meredith said, "It's alright. I just put them in the water. It's enough to last them a week."She did no
"Alright, I'll admit it. I'm not the charity type of person and I won't help anyone without any reason," Josiah admitted himself. "For example, I'll buy all of the cards from her but I won't directly give her the money."If Nia was not the one requesting it, he would not help any stranger. After all, there were many poor people in this world just like that old lady."Regardless of it, you have been a good role model to Nia." After Meredith finished her sentence, she held Nia's hand and continued walking to the front.Josiah immediately followed and held Nia's other hands. When they passed by a stall that was selling hair accessories, he took two flowers from the stall and placed one of them on Meredith's head. He asked Nia, "Is it pretty?""What are you doing? There are so many people looking." Meredith reached out her hand quickly wanting to take it off."Isn't this for people to wear? That's the reason why it's for sale, ain't it?" Josiah asked.Nia looked at her Mommy with the
They entered the room.The waiter served drinks first, and it did not take long for the dishes to be served.Nia looked at the shrimp balls that were very small in size but very beautiful in style, and asked, "Daddy, what is this? It looks delicious.""These are golden shrimp balls. It should taste better than your cheese shrimp." Josiah took one for her. "Come on, try it."Then, he gave Meredith another ball.Nia was a foodie, basically everything tasted delicious, so naturally she sang praises."It's delicious, but I still prefer the cheese shrimp made by Mommy." Nia asked Meredith Leighton, "Mommy, what do you think?"Meredith Leighton said, "Each has its own taste, but Mommy also knows how to make this kind of fresh golden shrimp balls. I can make it for Nia next time.""Okay, it just so happens that Daddy also likes to eat."Meredith did not care whether Josiah liked it or not, but she would not say these words in front of Nia.She gave Nia a piece of fried lobster with
Josiah glanced at Nia with a serious expression, and said to Hannah, "Nia is right, let's all have a holiday from today.""Sir, you really don't need to...""Alfred, please make the necessary arrangements." Josiah said to Alfred.Knowing that Josiah did not like nonsense, Alfred had no choice but to answer, "Okay, young master, there is still a lot of work to be done in the house. We will have a holiday when we are done.""I think you are all busy, let me do the rest." Meredith walked down from the second floor and said."This..." Alfred could not bear it and said, "Miss Leighton, will this be too hard for you?""It's okay, you go."Alfred turned around and arranged for the vacations.With the team on vacation, the mansion immediately became much quieter.Josiah looked at the New Year pictures on the ground and said to Nia, "It seems that this year we will have to put up the New Year pictures ourselves. Do you want to help?"Nia nodded solemnly. "Yes, Nia will help Daddy.""
"Do you need my help?" She asked as she apporached the father daughter duo."No, go and rest." Josiah said.Nia also said, "Mommy, we'll finish posting it soon!"Seeing Meredith squatting down to clean up the trash, Josiah immediately helped her up from the ground. "I'll clean it up in a while, so hurry up and go."Meredith had to leave.At noon, the family of three ate casually.In the afternoon, Meredith started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner early, and Nia walked in and asked, "Mommy, can I call Papa Charlie to say hello?"Meredith paused, not knowing how to answer her question for a while.She felt that it would not make a difference if Nia or her would call for New Year greetings.Charlie Larson shouldn't want to hear any news about her, right?Although she was a little sorry for Nia, she still said, "Nia, Papa Charlie is abroad these days, so it's not convenient to answer the phone, so let's call him when he returns home.""Ah? Papa Charlie hasn't come back yet?
Was she really going to leave?There was no way, he just seemed to repeat the old trick and asked Nia to bring him his tablet."Daddy, why do you need a tablet for cooking?" Nia walked in with the tablet in hand and asked.Josiah coughed dryly and said, "What else? Of course, I'm searching for recipes." "Oh."Josiah searched for the recipe, looked at the various methods above and asked, "Nia, what style of scallops do you like to eat?""What's the flavor?" Nia asked."Fresh with ice, fried with ginger and onion, garlic, and...""Wait a minute, what's this?" "Arctic Bay ice fresh." "I want this kind.""It's easy to make this, but will it be bad to eat them in cold weather?" Josiah glanced at the direction of the second floor. "I don't think your Mommy would like this in cold weather.""Then...with minced garlic?""I'll see." Josiah said, "If your Mommy asks later, you say that you want to eat.""..." Nia rolled her eyes, "Okay, whatever Daddy says."Josiah made minced
Meredith smiled and raised her hand and pushed it on the back of her head, "You are so silly, don't be like your Daddy in the future.""Mommy, I'm not silly? I just don't want you to blame Daddy for cooking badly.""Yes, Nia is not stupid, Nia is the smartest and kindest." Meredith thought that today was the New Year's Day and it was not nice to call her baby stupid, so she changed her tone immediately.Nia was happy again.During dinner, Josiah poured two glasses of red wine and put one of them in front of Meredith.Meredith glanced at the red wine in the glass, "I don't want to drink."What if she got drunk and took advantage of her.Josiah seemed to sense her thoughts and explained, "Nia is so old, it's the first time we have a reunion dinner in the New Year Festival, so we have to have a cup anyway.""Don't worry, you won't get drunk with one cup." He added."Then I also want a cup." Nia said."What kind of wine does a child drink? Just drink juice." Josiah poured her a g
