Chapter 848
“Daddy happened to come here for his work, so surely he’ll go back on his own.”
Meredith pulled Nia’s little hand back from Josiah’s grip. “Nia, let’s go.”
“Goodbye, Daddy.” Nia waved at Josiah.
Josiah was initially looking at Charlie in the car, but when he heard Nia saying goodbye to him, he hung his head low
and smiled at her. “Okay, see you, Nia.”
When Meredith led Nia into the car, Josiah looked at Charlie again.
Although he seemed calm, his smile gave people a strange and insincere feeling.
Perhaps he had never gotten through the loss of his ability to walk on his feet.

After watching them leave, Josiah turned around and returned to his car.
“When did Charlie arrive?” he asked Walter.
“About five minutes ago,” said Walter.
It seemed to Josiah that Charlie and Meredith did not come together.
Meredith was also very curious when she saw Charlie, so she asked, “Charlie, didn’t you say you wouldn’t come with
me to pick up Nia? What changed your mind?”
Charlie replied calmly, “I only said that I didn’t want to go to the old residence for dinner, but I didn’t say didn’t want
to pick up Nia.”

Charlie’s seemed to have gained control of his temper since she ran away in anger at Christmas.

witness his emotional growth.
“Papa Charlie, are we going to the old residence now?” Nia asked with her face raised.
Charlie nodded and smiled at her. “Yes, didn’t you say you miss Great Grandma?”
“Yes! I also brought a gift to Grandma.”
“Really? What is it?”
Nia took out a beautifully packaged lollipop from her school bag. “Here you go. It’s the prize of a game that I won. I

also have another two for Papa Charlie and Mommy.”
She gave Charlie the lollipop in her hand. “Papa Charlie, this is for you.”
“Thank you, Nia.” Charlie took it from Nia.
“Mommy, this is for you.” She gave another lollipop to Meredith.
“Aww, thank you, sweetie.” Meredith thanked Nia too.
“The remaining two are for Great Grandma and Daddy.” Nia said with a smile.
“Nia is quite fair.” Meredith purposely complimented Nia after she had glanced at Charlie’s expression.
Charlie had not returned to the old residence for dinner since the accident.
On the contrary, Old Madam Shelby had visited the couple’s villa to see Charlie several times before this. And she
always felt distressed after every visit.
It was rare to see Charlie come back that day. Old Madam Shelby was so distressed that she could not bear to look
at Charlie any longer just by seeing him getting out of the car.
Not to mention Mrs. Larson, Charlie’s mother. She even covered her face and wept when she saw Charlie. “Oh lord,
how could you be so cruel? That really hurts my heart…”
