Chapter 327Chapter 327 “Really?”
“Yes, dear. There‘s a time difference between where we are and where he is now.”
“Alright then. I‘ll call him once he touches down.‘
Meredith stubbornly stayed up until midnight to call Josiah, and finally, her call went
through.
Josiah sounded slightly tired but his voice was lamented with notes of concern for
Meredith.” Edith, it‘s already midnight, isn‘t it? Why are you still awake?”
“I want to have another pet dog that is as pretty as Nia,” said Meredith.
Josiah was startled. “What did you say?” “They told me that Nia was the name of
my pet dog and that it died later…”
‘Who told you that!?” Josiah exploded in rage, startling Meredith.
“What‘s wrong, Joe?” Meredith asked carefully, “Do you not want to get me another
dog? But I really want one. I miss Nia a lot.”
Even though she could not remember what Nia looked like or what she had been through with Nia,
deep down somewhere within her, Meredith knew that she missed Nia.
Meredith guessed that she must have adored Nia a lot to be missing Nia so dearly.
“Edith, you should head to bed now,” said Josiah as he tried his best to hold back his anger.“But are you going to get me one?”
“Sure, as long as it makes you happy.” “Really?” Meredith sounded excited. “Thank
you, Joe.”
“Get some rest now.”
“You too.”
“Mm, talk to you soon.” Josiah hung up and immediately made a call to Shelby‘s mansion.
Alfred rushed to the living room while putting on his cardigan. He was immediately jolted awake by
Josiah‘s furious roar on the phone.
“Who is it that has been spewing nonsense in front of Meredith?”
Alfred was stunned for a whole second before he quickly came back to his senses and explained, “Sir,
what had happened was that ma‘am was surrounded by a group of reporters earlier this morning and
they were asking her about Nia‘s condition, and
ma‘am…”
Alfred did not have to finish his sentence and Josiah could already guess what
novelbinhappened next.
“Where were the reporters from? Did you get their names?”
“My apologies, Sir. We weren‘t able to get their names.” Josiah seethed, “I‘m only
gone for one day and this already happened. Let this happen againand you can all pack your bags and leave!” “Yes, Sir. I will keep a tight eye on ma‘am. I will not let her
have any contact with people from the outside again.” Only then did
Josiah end the call.
The next morning, Alfred walked over to Meredith with a puppy in his arms.
The puppy immediately caught Meredith‘s attention. Meredith took the puppy into her arms and asked,
“Is this from Joe?” “Yes, ma‘am. Sir bought this puppy for you.”
Alfred nodded. Meredith hugged the puppy closer and rubbed her face against the
puppy‘s fur. She then reached for her phone to call Josiah.
“Joe, I got the puppy. It‘s adorable, I love it a lot,” Stroking the puppy, Meredith added, “and its fur is
white. It‘s like an angel in white.”
“I‘m glad that you like it.”
“I‘ll name it Nia.”
“Edith…” “Hmm? What‘s wrong?”
