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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’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.”
Looking determined, Nia nodded. “Okay, I will take care of myself and eat more.”
“Just eating more is not enough to grow tall. You’d need to sleep enough too,” Josiah smiled and added, “so do you
think you should go to bed now?”
“Yes! Good night Daddy and Mommy!” Sounding excited, Nia immediately closed her eyes.
After a while, Josiah looked at Meredith and said, “You should go shower first. I’ll stay here with Nia.”
Nia actually did not need her parents to stay with her until she fell asleep. But perhaps both of them cherished Nia
so much to the point that neither of them was willing to let Nia sleep
alone.
Especially for Josiah. He would usually be working on his study at this time but since Nia had returned, he would
show up on time in Nia’s bedroom.
Meredith returned to her room to take a shower. By the time she got into her bed, Josiah had returned from Nia’s
bedroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeredith moved to one side of the bed and closed her eyes.
As always, Josiah would move closer to her and hug her from behind. “Nia had told me everything that had
happened on the first day of her school. Aren’t you going to tell me how it went with your interview?”
Meredith tried to push away his arms that were wrapped around her waist. “It’s just an interview. What is there to
talk about?”
“If so, would you like to hear the things that happened at my work today?”
Meredith doubted that Josiah had anything to say about his work and even if he did, Meredith was not interested.
She shook her head. “Not interested.” “Two young and pretty ladies joined the secretarial department today. Are
you really not interested to know more about it?” He asked purposely. Meredith shook her head again. “Not at all.”
“Are you not worried that I will get stolen from you?” “What’s the use of wanting a man who would be easily stolen
away?” “You can’t put it this way,” Josiah went on, “if I hadn’t tried to snatch you back, you’d have been stolen
away by Zade, isn’t it?” Gritting her teeth, Meredith seethed, “Josiah Shelby, I dare you to mention Zade Brooks one
more time!”
