CHAPTER 658
Meredith however, replied to him with sarcasm again, “I think it’s better that you wear tailor made outfits, it suits your status more.” This content © 2024 .
She then held Nia’s hands in hers and walked into the lift. “Let’s go get you some new clothes, darling.”
Feeling speechless, Josiah let out a long sigh and walked into the lift with them.
After getting several outfits for Nia, and getting some new toys, they decided to head home.
Shaking Meredith’s hands, Nia asked, “Mommy, we got new clothes for ourselves but why aren’t we getting new clothes for Daddy?”
This time, Nia was not cued by Josiah. She was simply curious.
Feeling rather relieved, Josiah patted Nia’s head and said, “Seems like I can only rely on my daughter to think of me, unlike someone else.”
Meredith ignored him and explained to Nia, “Because your father has loads of clothes at home. So, we don’t have to buy new ones for him.” “Then did Mommy buy those clothes for Daddy?” Nia asked.
“Um…”
“No,” Josiah replied in Meredith’s stead, “your mom almost never got me clothes.”
“Who said so?” Meredith shot a glare at him. She was clearly being tricked and hoaxed by him when she lost her memories. She basically treated him like a king.
“There, there, don’t be mad, Mommy. And Daddy, you shouldn’t be upset too.” Nia grabbed her parents’ hands in each of her hands and said, “If Daddy wants to get new clothes, Mommy can always
buy them for him, right?”
With their hands in hers, Nia walked them toward the lift.
Looking at how Nia was determined, Meredith sulked, “Did you cast a spell on her? I don’t understand why Nia keeps taking your side.” “You said it yourself, didn’t you? That Nia had always yearned for her father. So do I really need to cast a spell on her?”
For the sake of comforting Meredith who was feeling jealous, Josiah added, “But Nia loves her mother the most. So there is no need for you to be jealous of me.”
Meredith had always thought so too.
But in recent days, she could not help but think that Nia was starting to love Josiah more.
“You can’t really be feeling jealous?” Seeing how Meredith was pressing her lips tightly together, Josiah asked, chuckling.
Meredith took a glance at Nia who had walked into a men’s outfit shop, shook her head, and said, “No. If not, I wouldn’t have forced myself to stay at Shelby mansion.”
“Nia had suffered and been through a lot. I’ve let her down too many times. So all I want for her is to be happy and feel loved. And that’s what would make me happy too.”
“You’re right,” Feeling slightly moved, Josiah added, “we’ve let her down too many times and we will do her right this time.”
Meredith replied, “I’m glad that you realize this.”
“If you really want Nia to live a happy life, we would first need to fulfill her wish of wanting the three of us to stay together happily, instead of what we’re doing right now, putting on a show that we’re alright.
What do you think?”
Meredith glanced sideway at him as she thought to herself, ‘Is he trying to use Nia to convince her again?’
“Hurry up, Dad and Mom!” Nia was calling out to them.
Josiah grabbed Meredith’s hand in his and walked into the shop. Nia looked at Meredith and said, “Mommy, it’s your turn to help Daddy pick out his clothes.” “Sure thing.” Meredith took a scan at the clothes on the rack and grabbed the only pink t-shirt that was in the store.
“I think this looks good, pinkish and cute,” Meredith smiled at Nia and asked, “what do you think, Nia?”
Tilting her head, Nia replied, “But guys like blue, don’t they? Pink should be a girl’s color,
right?
