Chapter 1065
Meredith then said to Lily, “Lily, why is Josiah not coming down to eat? Is he not going to send Nia to school?”
Right then, heavy footsteps were heard coming down the stairs and Josiah showed up in front of everyone.
Adjusting the watch on his wrist, Josiah said, “Nia, I won’t be able to send you to school today, I’ll have Grandma Lily
send you instead. I’ll come to pick you up when you’re done with school.
Nia responded, “It’s okay, Mommy can send me to school too. You should hurry up and leave for work now.”
“Okay. See you later, Nia.”
“See you, Daddy.”
Meredith was silent.
Seeing how Josiah had left hurriedly, Meredith thought that she was seeing things.
Josiah just left…ike that?
She looked toward Nia and Nia, and upon meeting her mother’s gaze, shouted, “Daddy, have you forgotten that

Mommy is at home too?”
Josiah came to a stop in his tracks and turned around.
Not looking at Meredith, Josiah said to Nia, “No, I haven’t. What’s wrong?”
“You didn’t even greet Mommy good morning or say goodbye to her,” Nia reminded him.
Josiah finally took a glance at Meredith. “Oh, I was in such a rush that I forgot.”
He then added, “Thank you for your help, Miss Meredith. See you.”
Josiah then left without looking back.
With a spoon in her hand, Meredith was left dumbfounded.
She then asked Lily, “Lily, did he somehow hurt his head?”
Lily smiled awkwardly, “Well…I am not too sure either. Perhaps so? After all, Sir did get
injured pretty badly,”
Meredith put down the spoon and rushed out the door.
Josiah had just put on his seat belt and was ready to leave when he noticed Meredith standing in front of his car.

Meredith asked Walter to get down from the car before walking over to where Josiah was sitting, “What is all this
about, Josiah Shelby?”
“What do you mean?” Josiah wind down the car window and went on, “And why would you suddenly come running
out of the house and block my car? Or…there’s something else you
need?”
Meredith fumed, “I wanted to ask why you have avoided and ignored me since last evening?”
“Weren’t you the one who asked me to leave you alone?”
“L…”
Meredith explained, “Back then I’ve also asked you to leave me alone, but you’ve never taken me seriously.”
Seeing how Meredith was looking all confused, Josiah thought to himself that Mister Wesley was right.
That his efforts would be taken for granted if he clung onto her, whilst playing hard-to-get would make her
attracted.
“Perhaps I’ve been hit hard by the reality,” He replied bitterly.

He then pointed at the wound on his forehead and went on, “I’m clearly injured but you didn’t even care to ask
about me. I guess that you might really hate me and think that I’m annoying.
“Since you hate me that much, it’s time that I finally take the hint and give up, isn’t it? At least, it wouldn’t cause
any unnecessary awkward situation between us when we meet each other during Nia’s visits.”
Meredith stared at him in surprise as she wondered if Josiah had really gotten over it.
The stubborn Josiah Shelby had finally come around?
It was definitely good news.
But for some reason, she felt a strange feeling bubbling in her.
She took a deep breath and asked, “You’ve finally come around?”
“Yes. I will respect your decision and find Nia a stepmother soon.”
“Miss Meredith, from now on, you can feel free to do anything that you want. I won’t stop you or bother you
anymore,” He added.
