CHAPTER 1036
Meredith did not expect Josiah was referring to that time. Moreover, she did not expect him to be there and recognized her and Nia. However, it was all in the past and she had no mean to look back on it.
On the other hand, Nia was surprised. She asked, “Really? Did I perform together with Mommy before? When did that happen?”
“It was three years ago. You have forgotten about it,” Meredith said. “How was I?” Nia asked.
Suddenly, Meredith looked at Josiah. Only the audience knew how was the performance.
Josiah nodded with compliments, “Very good. All the audience was stunned and astonish. So were me and Great Grandma. Great Grandma even said she wants to bring you back immediately.”
“Really?” Nia giggled, “Then why didn‘t Great Grandma bring me back home?”
“Because Daddy disallowed,” Meredith answered plainly. As expected, Nia asked again, “Why did Dadd y disallow Great Grandma?” “Because Daddy was an idiot back then,” Josiah gave a fuzzy answer. The n he quickly changed the topic, “Nia, you should go to your teacher to get ready now.” “Oh, alright. Then I‘ll be on my way.” Nia waved her hands at her Daddy and Mommy.
“Okay. Do you best, Nia!”
Both of them do a rooting sigh at Nia. After Nia skipped over to her teacher, Josiah quickly grabbed Meredith‘s hand.” Edith, I was…” “As I said, you don‘t have to explain.” Meredit h gave Josiah a faint smile. “It‘s all in the past.”
Josiah looked at the indifference in her eyes and felt melancholy. Although Meredith kept saying it was in the past, she herself never looked past it. Every time they talked about the past, she would make a resentful comment and then tell him it was behind them. Josiah sighed and held her hand toward the crowd. “The competition is abo ut to start. Let‘s go find a seat.” Content © provided by .
Meredith‘s instinct told her to pull away her hand from Josiah‘s. Then she suddenly heard a voice, “Hey , aren‘t you Nia‘s Mommy? I thought you are here alone. So Nia‘s Daddy is here too.”
Josiah quickly grabbed Meredith‘s hand tightly and smiled at the lady, “I‘m Nia‘s Daddy and I won‘t miss it for the world.”
The lady‘s face looked a little awkward when she heard that. Meredith quickly used her finger and hinted at Josiah by scratching his palm. Josiah received the hint but he did not understand what he said wrong.
Later Meredith pulled him to the side, he finally got the chance to ask, “Did I say anything wrong?”
“That was Mrs. Lynch. Her husband has an affair and does not care about her or the daughter anymore,” Meredith explained.
“Oh,” Josiah replied. Then he quickly responded, “Edith, don‘t worry. I will never make that mistake again. I wo morning quarterback person.‘
“Come, let‘s sit here.” Josiah led her to an empty seat.
After that, Meredith greeted the other parents. There were some parents who greeted Josiah too, but du to the lesson learned just now, he did not dare to say too much. In fact, he was never a person who care thought he should take note of it. At least, he did not want to be the problem that Nia got rejected by her peers.
