Chapter 1061
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“As long as he’s happy,” Meredith went on, “this means he loves Nia a lot too.”
Returning from the garden, Meredith saw that Lily was making dinner. She walked into the kitchen and said, “Lily, let me prepare tonight’s dinner. It’s been quite some time since I last made dinner for Nia.”
“Ah, alright. I’ll go tend to other chores then.” Lily then let Meredith take over.
Lily did not have to worry about letting Meredith take over the kitchen.
Because be it Josiah or Nia, both of them enjoyed Meredith’s cooking
Nia was doing her homework in her room whilst Meredith was cooking in the kitchen. When she was almost done with preparing dinner, she heard the familiar sound of a car engine driving into the front yard.
It was Josiah.
Meredith, who was setting the table, froze all of a sudden. She suddenly felt a little nervous.
Meredith wondered why she was suddenly nervous.
Why did she need to feel nervous when Josiah had already seen all sides of her? And did she really have to care about his opinion of her?
Perhaps she was worried that Josiah would tease her for showing up at his place all of a sudden.
Meredith took a deep breath to mentally prepare herself to face Josiah when Josiah had already entered the house.
He was dressed in a dark colored suit and there was a bandage on his forehead which was slightly covered by his dark hair. From his looks, Meredith could not guess whether he was still having a high fever or if he was still feeling uncomfortable.
Lily greeted him politely, “Welcome home, Sir. Miss Meredith picked Nia up from school and even prepared tonight’s dinner. Oh, and dinner is ready.”
Usually, Josiah would have been pleasantly surprised and glad. He would also rush into the kitchen wanting to try the food.
But today, he replied flatly, “I’ve already eaten before I came back. I’m not hungry.”
He then walked upstairs.
Lily was stunned. She then asked again, “Sir, are you really skipping dinner? Are you sure that you don’t want to eat what Miss Meredith has prepared?
“I’m not eating. Let Miss Meredith have dinner with Nia instead.”
He then disappeared from Lily’s sight.
Lily was confused by Josiah’s sudden change in behavior.
Even Meredith was confused. With the cutleries in her hands, Meredith stood by the dining table dazedly.
Seeing her this way, Lily cleared her throat and said, “Miss Meredith, perhaps Sir is not feeling unwell, so he’s got no appetite for dinner. He asked for you to eat with Nia instead.”
Meredith came back to her senses, nodded and said, “Oh, okay.
She then said to Lily, “Lily, aren’t you going to check on him? Is he still running a high fever?”
“Ah, yes. I’ll go check on him right now.” Lily then headed upstairs.
Josiah was not in his bedroom but he was in Nia’s room, helping her with her homework.
Standing by the door, Lily asked, “Sir, how are you feeling?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry,” Josiah replied without even lifting up his head.
“Are you still having a fever?” Lily asked again.
“No.”
Nia too started to get concerned. “Daddy, you should go rest if you’re unwell. I can finish these by myself.”
“Nia’s right, Sir. You should lie down if you’re unwell.” Lily then said to Nia, “Nia, it’s time for dinner now.”
“Daddy, are you not eating what Mommy has prepared?” Nia went on, “It’s been so long since we ate what Mommy has
cooked.”
