Chapter 178
“You’re going to spend the whole day with me? Alright then, don’t go back on your words.”
“I won’t.” Josiah knew he had dug his own grave but he could only swallow down the bitterness.
“That’s my boy,” Putting her arms in Josiah’s, she said, “come on now. Let’s go have some dessert, then go shopping, and then we’ll go to the movies at night. Oh, did you know about the new romantic movie that is showing? I heard the reviews are really good. The female lead was diagnosed with cancer and the male lead cried so hard…” Inwardly, Josiah was rolling his eyes, thinking to himself, ‘A good movie indeed!’ After Nia got her injection, Meredith took her to the performing venue. . Meredith and Nia changed into a white-laced dress that was sponsored by the parent and child shop. Taking a close look at Nia, the owner lady praised, “Such a pretty little girl. You look exactly like Snow White.” Every girl had a dream of becoming a princess, Nia was no exception.
Nia was overjoyed by the owner’s compliment. “Thank you, ma’am. You too, look pretty yourself.”
“What a sweet -talker you are.” Tapping the tip of Nia’s nose gently, the owner added, “Good luck with the performance later.” “Thank you, I will do my best.” Nia nodded happily. Keeping in mind of Nia’s health condition, the owner had agreed for Meredith and Nia to perform earlier. Covering Nia’s face with the same type of face veil that she used, Meredith reminded Nia gently, “Darling, don’t be nervous once you get up there, okay? It’s okay even if you forget the notes. I’ll help you, and I’ll protect you.” Nodding, Nia replied, “I’m not nervous at all, Mommy. And I won’t forget anything.”
Meredith did not expect her three-year-old to be this brave. She thought that Nia was braver than she was back then.
There was not a big crowd at the mall, but not too small either. There were
roughly two hundred people in the mall.
