Still Loving You Nonetheless Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078Chapter 1078
Putting down the magazine in his hands, Josiah welcomed Nia into his arms, smiled, and replied, “My
princess is coming to the party tonight, of course, I should be here.”
“Really? Thank you, Daddy!” Nia cheered. “Of course, darling.” Josiah pointed toward the line of
dresses on the rack and said, “Look, these are the ones that I’ve picked for you. And you can choose to
wear whichever one you like.”
“Wow! They all look so pretty!” Nia gasped in exclamation. The dresses all looked like the ones that the
princesses wore in the fairytales.
The manager of the shop smiled, “Your highness, shall we have a look at the dresses? Let me know
which one you want to try on, okay?”
Nia nodded and followed the manager.
Meredith finally had the chance to talk to Josiah. “What are you doing here? Are you here to pick out a
dress for your plus one?” “Why would you say that?”
Josiah picked up the magazine again and he had his walls put up again. Unlike how he was with Nia
earlier, he was now cold.
“If not, why are you here?”
“Didn’t I say it earlier? I’m here to help pick out Nia’s dress.”
novelbin“Then how did you come this quickly? Nia and I only decided to attend the party just ten minutes ago.”
“The shop is only five minutes away from my company.”Meredith was rendered speechless.
Josiah seemed to have a good explanation. The shop was indeed closer to Josiah’s office.
After getting her answer, Meredith then asked, “Mister Josiah, why do you want Nia to attend the
dinner?” If Mister Yoseph did not call her, Nia would not have overheard their conversation and Nia
would not have wanted to go to the party.
Josiah replied flatly, “I want to give her a new experience.” “But you have a partner with you tonight.”
“And?”
“It won’t do any good for Nia to see that.”
“Why? Nia has already grown up and she is starting to understand the things that are going on in the
adult world.” Josiah flipped a page of the magazine and said,” I trust that she’d understand me.”
Meredith was irked by her nonchalant and indifferent attitude. With rage gripping her, Meredith
snatched the magazine from his hands. “Josiah Shelby, have you really taken the time to understand
your daughter?”
She lowered her voice as she did not want others to hear.
But Josiah heard her loud and clear. Looking into her eyes, he asked, “What do you mean? Do you
mind explaining?” “…” Meredith realized that she was getting all worked up and threw the magazine
back to him. “Please don’t misunderstand. I am not stopping you if you have a partner or a girlfriend. All
I want to tell you is that Nia is hoping that you won’t get her a stepmother. So, you should not just
introduce her to your partner out of the blue. You should…do it slowly. So that she could take the time
to accept and to understand.”
“Nia doesn’t want me to have a new wife, yes?”“Mainly because she’s feeling insecure and she’s worried that the stepmother wouldn’t like her.”
“Do you really think that I will let Nia be bullied?” Meredith was rendered speechless.
Josiah tugged at the corners of his lips and said, “Don’t worry. I will not let Nia get hurt in any way.”
