Chapter 655
“Daddy, Mommy, hurry up.” Nia waved at the both of them.
Josiah grabbed Meredith’s hand in his, smiled at her, and said, “Put on a smile. If not, Nia is going to cry again.”
For the sake of not wanting Nia to overthink, Meredith immediately pulled into a smile.
At the sight of her parents holding their hands and wearing a smile on their faces, Nia too pulled into a wide grin.
“Come on, let’s buy you some new clothes.” Josiah pulled her into his arms and said, “The weather is getting colder,
we should get you some new ones.”
“I don’t need them.”
“If you don’t want to choose them yourself, I will have Alfred custom-make them for you. After that, don’t complain
that you don’t like the design then,” Josiah said.

“Josiah Shelby, we are not…” She glimpsed at Nia then lowered her voice, “we’re not husband and wife anymore.
You don’t have to buy me clothes and I don’t need you to buy them for me too.”
“But you’re the mother of my daughter.” “And it has nothing to do with you,” Meredith replied in a solemn tone, “I
will go back to work once Nia starts going to kindergarten. I can take care of myself.”
Seeing how she had made up her mind, Josiah decided to give in. “Okay. I will pay for it now and you can pay me
back once you have the money.”
“But I don’t…”
“No buts.” For the sake of wanting her to buy clothes, Josiah continued making excuses.” Even though you kept
denying our relationship, to the public, you are still my wife. I will be laughed at if you are not dressed decently.”
“Pit…” Meredith mocked, “you don’t get embarrassed when people peg you as a toy boy, but you’re embarrassed
by how your wife is dressed?”
“Of course. How a woman dresses reflects how much the husband adores her.” Josiah pointed at the shops and

said, “Choose one shop and I’ll shop with you.”
Before Meredith could even say anything, Josiah said to Nia, “Nia darling, your Mommy is too shy to shop for new
clothes. You should go with her.”
Nia turned around and looked at Meredith with her big eyes. “What is there to be shy about?”
Meredith was yet again rendered speechless.
“Perhaps your Mommy is a timid person so she gets shy easily?” Josiah replied.
“But Mommy is never the type to be shy. Could it be that she’s changed?” Nia asked as she pulled Meredith with her
and walked into one of the shops. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I will shop with you.”
Meredith was rendered speechless. She could only shoot a furious glare at Josiah.
She was irked that Josiah played the Nia card on her again.

Josiah must be mistaken that she would be touched by him and fall back in love with him just because he was
buying her new clothes.
“Let me make this clear. I won’t thank you for this,” Meredith hissed.
Josiah pushed her into the shop. “I don’t need you to thank me. And, make sure to record how much you spent, and
don’t forget to pay me back.” He only said that because he knew that Meredith did not want to spend his money.
Meredith actually needed winter outfits hence she decided to choose several outfits.
She tried on one and Nia immediately complimented her. “It looks really good on you, Mommy. Everything looks
good on you.” Nia then turned to look at Josiah. “Daddy, does Mommy look nice?” Josiah nodded. “Mm, your
Mommy looks good in anything.” The employees in the shop cringed at Josiah’s and Nia’s comments. Even though
Meredith had a perfect body figure, the employees caught a glimpse of her scarred face when her face mask
dropped when she was changing.
The employees could not bring themselves to listen anymore.
But they had no choice but to compliment Meredith as well.
When Meredith wanted to pay for the clothes, Josiah gave her a card and said, “Use this for the time being. Give it
back to me only after you get a job.”
