Chapter 424

Chapter 424Chapter 424 To be fair, Caden was like a replacement for Nia as well. But Meredith did not seem to
realize this.
Josiah comforted her gently, “It doesn’t matter if he is seen as a replacement or not, as long as they are
nice to Caden, love, and care for him.” “But..” Meredith bit down on her lips and said, “I’m not ready to
let Caden go.” “Why? You’ve only know him for three days.” “I’m puzzled too,” Meredith tried to think
about it and said, “it’s weird that every time Caden calls me Mommy, I feel happy and touched. And I
want him to be my son.” “Joe, could it be…” She was hesitant to bring up the name, “Because of Nia?”
At the mention of Nia’s name, Josiah felt his heart drop. Since Meredith sort of figured out Nia’s
presence, Josiah did not wish to keep her in the dark anymore.
“Perhaps,” He said, “in fact, you might be replacing Nia with Caden as well. But this doesn’t stop you
from loving him and caring for him. So, you shouldn’t worry about the new family seeing Caden as a
replacement for their son or not, right?” Meredith tried to think about how she felt for Caden and
nodded. “You’re right.” “But I’m not willing to let him go yet.” “It’s okay. The couple is on an overseas trip
and they will only return in two weeks’ time. We can still keep Caden around and let him call you
Mommy.”
“That won’t do,” Meredith shook her head and said, “Caden had just accepted me as his mother and
two weeks later, he will be with his new parents. I’m worried that he might think that we don’t want him
anymore.”
“Mm, you’re right too. You should do how you see fit.”
Meredith paused for a moment before asking, “Joe, is there really no other way for us to adopt Caden?!
“I’m afraid there isn’t one.” Josiah pulled her in his arms and kissed her. “Are the couple good people?
Are you really sure that they’d take good care of Caden?” “Don’t worry. We can always take Cadennovelbinback if they are not good to him.” Only then did Meredith feel relieved. Even though she was not willing
to let Caden go, she knew that she had to let him go if there was a good family that could provide a
good life for Caden. Josiah remembered that Meredith too had something to discuss with him but when
he checked the time, it was already late so he decided not to remind Meredith.
“There, now I still have to work tomorrow Let’s get some rest now.”
Meredith was still lost in her thoughts about Caden and simply nodded.
She too had forgotten about bringing up Maeve to Josiah. At the thought of Caden leaving her soon,
Meredith showered him with more love and even decided to bring him to the funfair on the weekend.
This time around, Meredith corrected Caden to address her as Miss Meredith instead of calling her
Mommy
Meredith made some garlic butter prawns for Caden when she found out that Caden loved eating
prawnis. She made sure to peel the prawns cleanly before placing them onto Caden’s plate “You like
eating prawns, don’t you? I’IL.” Before Meredith finished her sentence, Josiah completed her sentence
for her. “She’ll make them for you again next time.”
Meredith and Caden exchanged a look with each other and burst into laughter.
After Caden finished his meal, Josiah looked at Meredith and asked, “Didn’t you have something you
wanted to talk to me about last night? Have you forgotten about it?”
It was only then Meredith remembered.
Smacking her forehead, she said, “Look at me, so forgetful.”
“It’s alright, we can talk about it now.”Josiah called Lily over and said to Caden, “Caden, go get ready and we’ll leave for the funfair in a short
while
