Chapter 937
Josiah felt like giving himself a big slap. He stared with full attention as Meredith was nowhere in his sight. He lowered his head and saw Nia’s curious-looking little face. He placed his hand on her hand and rubbed it “Mommy is just feeling a little down. She’ll be fine after a nap.”
“Daddy, why is Mommy feeling down? Did she have a fight with Papa Charlie?” Nia asked curiously.
She had spent quite an amount of time together with Meredith and Charlie. No matter how nice they hid it, Nia could sense there was a problem between both of them.
Josiah saw the worry in Nia’s eyes. He denied it instantly, “Of course not. Your mommy is a kind person. She never fights with anyone.”
Nia gave it a thought and agreed with Josiah. “Then why is Mommy feeling unhappy?”
“The adult world is very complicated. Maybe it’s because of work or friends. If Mommy doesn’t feel like talking, then it’s not good for us to keep on asking,” Josiah explained.
“Okay,” Nia replied.
“Don’t worry. She just needs a nap,” Josiah said.
“Alright. I’m going to do my homework.” Nia sprung up from the couch and reminded her Daddy before leaving. “Daddy, remember to tell me when Mommy is up. And don’t make her angry.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t dare,” Josiah smiled.
The only thing he wanted to do was to comfort her and make her happy. Making her angry was the last thing in his mind.
When Meredith woke up from her nap, she saw Nia sitting beside her bed with a big smile on her face. She reached out her hand and rubbed Nia’s head. “What’s wrong? Why are you so happy?”
“Mommy, Granny Lily cooked buttered shrimp. Can we go eat it now?” Nia asked.
