Chapter 989
Josiah thought for a while. He did not know what the suitable way would be to console her.
He never thought Nia would speak on his behalf, “But Mommy needs to care for Papa Charlie. I know. Daddy, I’ll cry
for a while, and I’ll be good.”
Nia wiped away the tears on her face and gave Josiah an ugly smile. “Daddy, I’m feeling better. What about you?”
Josiah was speechless. Nia was so understanding. What else could he do? He could only agree with her and say,
“Hmm, Daddy feels better too.”
Suddenly, the pitter-patter of rain could be heard from outside the window. Josiah subconsciously turned his head to
look at the dark skies outside. “It’s raining.”
“Did Mommy bring her umbrella?” Nia asked concernedly.
“Don’t worry. She drove.”
“Oh.”

Meredith drove in the rain. The rain was not heavy, but it blurred her sight.
She slowly stopped the car by the side of the road. She took a piece of tissue and wiped away her tears before
taking out her glasses from the glove compartment and putting them on. Her vision was better.
She parked her car by the entrance of the main house. When she entered, she saw Charlie and Kimberly in the
living area watching tv.
Meredith stopped in her tracks. She looked at Charlie, who had an ugly expression, and said, “Charlie? It’s late. Why
are you not resting yet?”
Charlie ignored her. Kimberly, next to him, turned to look at her and mocked, “Miss Meredith, you know it’s late too,
right? It’s already so late, why are you even coming back? Why don’t you just stay at your ex husband’s place?”
Meredith looked at Kimberly. There she went again.
“Miss Jackson, please shut up.” Meredith walked over to Charlie. She bent down in front of him and held his hand,
saying, “Charlie, just now…”
“No need to explain. I know.” Charlie coldly shrugged his hand off her. “Kimberly is right. It’s already so late. You
should stay with the Shelbys. What use is there coming home?”

“Charlie…”
“Leave! Go back to the Shelbys!” Charlie interrupted her. His tone was cold and stiff. “Kimberly, send her away.”
Kimberly immediately stood up from the sofa. She looked at Meredith and sneered, “Miss Meredith, you heard him.
Charlie is asking you to leave!”
“Why? Charlie, if you know about it. Why could you still say such cold things?”
“Because Charlie doesn’t want to see a woman who keeps getting tangled up with her ex-husband while coming to
him with a mouthful of lies. Charlie would be in a bad mood that way!”
Meredith looked up and coldly glared at Kimberly. She warned, “Miss Jackson. If you don’t want me to slap you
again, you’ll shut up!”
“Hmph! I dare you to slap me. I’m not afraid!”
Meredith knew that Kimberly was trying to provoke her into hitting, so she did not fall for her trap. She ignored her.
She took a deep breath and looked at Charlie’s cold face. She said, “Charlie, Nia’s teacher called in the afternoon to

say that Nia had an allergic reaction to food. When I rushed to the hospital, Nia was in the emergency room.
Thankfully she has been rescued, so I was spending time with her in the hospital.”
“My, this excuse sounds great,” Kimberly said fearlessly, “Miss Meredith, to meet up with your ex husband, you
could even come up with an excuse of Nia being in the emergency room! How amazing!”
Meredith was speechless. She continued ignoring her and continued, “Charlie, I’m telling the truth. You have to
believe me.”
“I don’t believe you.” Charlie looked at her coldly. “Meredith, I’ve already said that you could return to your ex-
husband and daughter anytime. There’s no need for you to use such lies to lie to me.”
“Charlie, I know you hate me now, but do you not care for Nia at all anymore?” Meredith was extremely
disappointed when she heard his cold words. “Nia was still insisting on following me and her Papa Charlie abroad.
She wanted to take care of her Papa Charlie together with me.”
