Chapter 1079
“It’s not that…” Meredith struggled to explain herself, “I already said that I’m not trying to stop you from getting married again. What I hope is for you to at least take care of Nia’s feelings. For instance, you shouldn’t even have asked her to attend tonight’s party.
“But forget it. It’s impossible to not let Nia attend now.” Meredith looked at Nia who was happily picking out a dress and went on, “I only have one request. Please don’t let Nia be put under too much attention at the dinner tonight. And as for you and Miss Lucy, please do be aware of your interactions in front of Nia.”
Josiah closed the magazine and nodded. “I can understand and I do agree with the former request. After all, it would only bring inconvenience to Nia if she gets too much attention. I will try to do whatever I can to make sure of that. Or perhaps, we can just not introduce her as my daughter. “That would be for the best,” Meredith replied. Josiah then said, “But about the latter…it’s a bit tricky. After all, both Miss Lucy and I would be the most eye-catching ones during the party. How do you expect us to stay low?”
Meredith thought that Josiah was quite shameless.
She, of course, knew that as the host of the event, it would be impossible for Josiah to stay low. Gnawing on her lips, she asked, “Then what are you going to say to Nia?”
“I’ll tell her the truth – that I’ll have to marry someone.”
“No!”
At the thought of Nia’s tears, Meredith immediately stopped him. Josiah stared at her, raised his brows, and asked, “Then what do you think I should do?”
Meredith pondered a bit and finally came up with a rather lousy suggestion.” Why not let Nia stay for a bit at the first half of the party, and when you’re going to show up with Miss Lucy, I’ll take her with me then.” Josiah nodded slightly as he looked at Nia who was in a princess dress and said,” Wouldn’t it then be a waste for the dress that Nia is wearing?”
“She’ll be fine if she gets to have fun for a while. She wouldn’t mind the rest.”
