CHAPTER 693

“You did well by rejecting them,” Meredith said. She did not hope for Nia to appear so high profile in public. Especially after seeing how Josiah was being knocked over by someone, she could not let Nia be too famous in public

“Mommy, why is Daddy still not back yet?” Nia asked sadly while eating the sandwich on her plate

Meredith tidied her uniform and said with a light smile, “Look at you. Just because Daddy isn’t here, you can’t have your breakfast?”

“Yes.” Nia nodded, “Without Daddy here, even the sandwich doesn’t smell good.”

“What if Daddy isn’t here anymore.”

“Then, I’ll surely be very sad.” Nia looked at Meredith and asked, “Mommy, why did you say that Daddy isn’t here? Did something happen to him?”

“No,” Meredith immediately explained, “what I meant was like in the past, when Daddy and Mommy are not living together.”

“Then, what should I do? Woo…woo…” Nia suddenly cried disappointedly. She said while crying, “You two have said that you would always live together. How could you lie to me? Woo

“Nia, Daddy and Mommy didn’t live together in the past as well.”

“But I like Mommy and Daddy. I don’t want to go back to the past where I only had a Mommy. “Nia sadly got down from the chair. “I’m not eating anymore! I’m going to look for Daddy!”

“Nia, don’t go.” Meredith pulled her back and consoled her, “I was just talking casually. I never said I wanted to split up with Daddy.”

“But I don’t see him anymore.”

“Didn’t I say that already? Daddy has gone on a business trip.”

“He is not! if he is out on a business trip, why did he not call me?”

“Uh….”

Looking at how Meredith was at a loss for words, Nia cried even louder. “See, I told you. Daddy doesn’t want me anymore!”

“No. It’s not like that.” Meredith hugged Nia and comforted her, “Nia, don’t worry. Daddy will surely call you at night.”

“I want Daddy to call me right now.”

Meredith was speechless. How could it be possible to call Josiah at that moment? He was still in the intensive care unit,

Just when Meredith did not know what to do, her phone rang. Seeing it was from Josiah, her heart constricted tightly. Her first thought was that something had happened to him.

After all, the doctor did say that his injuries were serious. He was not out of danger yet.

She hesitated for a while before cautiously answering the call. “Hello, Meredith speaking.”

“Why are you being so polite with me?” Josiah’s voice came from the other end.

Meredith was stunned, followed by immediate joy, “You’re fine! I thought you were…” “You thought that the doctor was using my phone to notify you to come to pick my dead body up?” Josiah teased.

Meredith nodded honestly. “Yes.”

“Mrs. Shelby, it’s a little inappropriate for you to hope for my death, right? After all, we still have a daughter to raise.”

At the mention of Nia, Meredith said, “Oh, so you know that you still have a daughter. Nia was making a fuss insisting on calling you.” “What a coincidence. I was missing her too,” Josiah said. Was this telepathy?

Meredith chuckled while passing the phone to Nia, who had been crying her eyes out, “Here, your Daddy that you have been missing has called you.”
