Chapter 847
Meredith sighed relievingly and nodded, “Yeah. Old Madam Shelby is the one who treats me the best among the people in Shelby family. That’s why I want to spend more time with her while I still can,”
“So…” She paused, and asked, “let’s bring Nia to the old residence to have a new year’s dinner with her, shall we?”
She continued before Charlie could respond, “You stay at home first. I’ll go to fetch Nia now.”
Yet, Charlie remained silent.
Meredith took it as he had acquiesced to the plan. She then patted his hand while holding it, stood up, and walked to the door.
When Meredith arrived at Nia’s school, she saw Josiah unexpectedly.
“Why are you here?” Meredith looked puzzledly at him and said, “I didn’t ask you to pick up Nia today, did 1?”
Josiah smiled helplessly. “Do you notice that every time we meet, your first sentence will be ‘why you are here’?”
“Yeah, so why are you here?”
“I’m here to talk out my work with the school manager. Does this sounds reasonable to you?”
“Just work stuff?” Meredith was obviously skeptical about his claim. “But today is New Year’s Day. Don’t they need to celebrate with their family?”
“In your opinion, what will be more important to them? Is it celebrating a new year or meeting with me?”
“…Yeah, who wouldn’t want to flatter you, the rich Mister Shelby, after all.”
“Hasn’t Nia’s class ended?” asked Josiah as he glanced at his watch.
“Almost.”
As soon as Meredith finished speaking, Nia’s excited voice sourced from the playground. “Daddy, Mommy!”
Meredith turned around and saw Nia hopping toward her.
She stretched her arm and showed her palm to the little guy. “Is the event over?”
