Chapter 1127
Meredith said, “It’s better to let me do it.”
The pair of father and daughter made everything so grand, so she was truly not used to it.
“No need,” Josiah said, “Nia has been anticipating your return for so long before you did, so just have a good chat with her.”
“That’s right, Mommy. I have so, so many things that I want to say to you.”
“Is that so? Are you going to tell me about school?” Meredith brought Nia to take a seat and then said with a faith smile, “I have been abroad, but I’ve always been paying attention to you. I know everything about you that happened at school.”
Meredith said again, “However, if you’re willing to tell me, I’m still very keen to hear it.”
“Not only do I want to tell you about the matters at school, but I also want to tell you about the matters outside and at home.”
“Alright. Let’s take our time to chat then.”
In the kitchen, Josiah was making dinner while listening to the mother and daughter chat. They talked about school and life, and they occasionally even talked about him.
Whenever he was mentioned, he would prick up his ears and listen carefully. He was afraid that he would miss out on some important information.
In the kitchen, Josiah’s phone rang.
He wiped both of his hands clean and picked up his phone as he was prepared to answer the call, when he saw the number on it, he could not help but stop his movements for a moment.
It was after a long while that he clicked on the answer button.
“Hello…” His voice was very soft and it had a sense of suspicion.
A familiar yet strange voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call. “Joe, I’m back.”
Josiah softly mumbled, “Mmhmm.” Then, he said, “When did you return?”
“Today.”
“Mmhmm.” The suspicion on Josiah’s face faded and his tone also became calm. “But why are you calling me?”
