Chapter 665
Josiah cleared his throat and said, “Well, I am all in for getting you a little brother, but we’d have to see if your Mommy agrees to it.”
Meredith shot him another glare, warning him to stop his nonsense. Smiling, she then turned to Nia and explained, “Nia dear, didn’t you say that you don’t want other siblings because you’re worried that Daddy won’t like you anymore? Why the change of mind now?”
“I don’t want Daddy to have a baby with others but if it’s with you, of course, I’d be happy.” Meredith shot a ‘are-you-sure-you-didn’t-brainwash-her’ look at Josiah. Josiah simply shrugged his shoulders. Meredith had no choice but to try her best to convince Nia from wanting another sibling. “Nia, your dad and I have no plans on having another baby for now. Because you’ve just recovered and we want to spend more time taking care of you.”
“But Mom, look at me, I’m already recovered!” Nia raised her arms and said, “Just this morning, you even said that I’ve gained some weight.”
“It’s not enough to just gain weight. We have to make sure that you don’t fall sick again and that you grow up taller and stronger.” Meredith pretended as if she was giving it a serious thought and went on, “Mm…let’s wait and see if you would grow stronger and taller next year, if yes, then we’ll consider giving you a sibling, okay?”
“Next year? That’s really long…”.
“It’s not that long, darling. Just two more months and it’d be a new year,” Josiah reminded her.
Meredith was shocked.
She was cursing Josiah for being a bastard under her breath.
Nia immediately felt happy. “Really? You and Mommy will give me a baby brother or sister after two months?”
Josiah nodded. “Mm-hm.”
Meredith quickly added, “But with the condition that you wouldn’t fall sick and have to grow taller in the next two months.”
