Chapter 778 In a loving voice, Josiah’s grandmother corrected Nia, “Don’t you remember him, Nia? He is your Daddy. Why did you call him uncle?”
“Oh, you’re right,” Nia paused before responding, “but if I call this nice uncle Daddy, then I would end up having two Daddies, right?” Feeling frustrated about the entire situation in her family, Josiah’s grandmother slapped her forehead.
With a smile, Josiah walked over to them and explained, “Uncle Charlie is just an uncle, he is not your Daddy. It will be a mess if you call Uncle Charlie your Daddy.”
“Is it true, great-grandma?” Nia asked Josiah’s grandmother.
Josiah’s grandmother nodded. “Mm, your Daddy’s right.” It was only then Nia greeted Josiah ‘Daddy’. Josiah finally felt a sense of relief upon hearing Nia calling him Daddy. He stroked Nia’s hair gently and asked, “Where’s Mommy? Didn’t she come with you to visit great-grandma?”.
“She’s not here. Mommy and Uncle Charlie went out for a meal together,” Nia replied.
Josiah’s grandmother added, “To celebrate.”
Josiah understood right away. Meredith and Charlie were celebrating their marriage.
It was their first day of marriage. It made perfect sense that they would be out celebrating.
Seeing how Josiah looked heartbroken, Josiah’s grandmother said, “All I could do is to create opportunities for you to win back your daughter’s heart. As for Meredith, I’ll advise you to give up on her. After all, Charlie and her are already married now.”
Josiah knew that his grandmother who had always been harsh on him had tried her best to comfort him.
“Thank you, Grandma,” Josiah replied.
Holding Nia’s hand in his, Josiah walked toward the dining hall. “Come on, Nia, let’s eat with Daddy, shall we?”
On the dining table was a spread of Nia’s favorite dishes.
