Chapter 778

Chapter 778 In a loving voice, Josiah’s grandmother corrected Nia, “Don’t you remember him, Nia? He is your

Daddy. Why did you call him uncle?”

“Oh, you’re right,” Nia paused before responding, “but if I call this nice uncle Daddy, then I would end up having two

Daddies, right?” Feeling frustrated about the entire situation in her family, Josiah’s grandmother slapped her

forehead.

With a smile, Josiah walked over to them and explained, “Uncle Charlie is just an uncle, he is not your Daddy. It will

be a mess if you call Uncle Charlie your Daddy.”

“Is it true, great-grandma?” Nia asked Josiah’s grandmother.

Josiah’s grandmother nodded. “Mm, your Daddy’s right.” It was only then Nia greeted Josiah ‘Daddy’. Josiah finally

felt a sense of relief upon hearing Nia calling him Daddy. He stroked Nia’s hair gently and asked, “Where’s Mommy?

Didn’t she come with you to visit great-grandma?”.

“She’s not here. Mommy and Uncle Charlie went out for a meal together,” Nia replied.

Josiah’s grandmother added, “To celebrate.”

Josiah understood right away. Meredith and Charlie were celebrating their marriage.

It was their first day of marriage. It made perfect sense that they would be out celebrating.

Seeing how Josiah looked heartbroken, Josiah’s grandmother said, “All I could do is to create opportunities for you to

win back your daughter’s heart. As for Meredith, I’ll advise you to give up on her. After all, Charlie and her are

already married now.”

Josiah knew that his grandmother who had always been harsh on him had tried her best to comfort him.

“Thank you, Grandma,” Josiah replied.

Holding Nia’s hand in his, Josiah walked toward the dining hall. “Come on, Nia, let’s eat with Daddy, shall we?”

On the dining table was a spread of Nia’s favorite dishes.

Josiah placed a chicken drumstick on Nia’s plate. “This is your favorite, isn’t it? Here, have more of this.”

“Thank you, Daddy.”

Hearing how Nia was being formal and distant with him, Josiah felt slightly disappointed.” It’s been a long time since

I ate with you, right, Nia? Are you angry at me like how your Mommy is?”

“No, it’s not that. I’m just not used to this.”

It was a tragedy for Josiah to think that Nia found it awkward to be eating with him.



But he did not blame Nia. He simply replied, “That’s alright. You will soon get used to it and we will be able to go

back to how things were before.”

“Hold up,” Josiah’s grandmother cut him off right away and asked, “what are you planning to do, Josiah Shelby?

When are you going to stop?” Josiah looked at his grandmother and replied, “I thought you’ve always adored

Meredith and wanted her to be your granddaughter-in-law?”

“You’re right, I do adore Meredith,” Josiah’s grandmother nodded and went on, “but she doesn’t have to be your

wife to be my granddaughter-in-law, am I right? She is still my granddaughter-in-law as Charlie’s wife.”

Josiah was wordless with anger.

He made a mental note that he could not rely on his grandmother to be on his side. Hence, he could only come up

with other ways.

Meredith did not bring Nia along to the celebration party as it was held at a wine bar and was late into the night.

And she was glad that she made the right decision, not bringing Nia, as the folks at the party were all too drunk and

high.

By midnight, When the party was over at midnight, most of the guests were already drunk and one by one left the

party. After sending off the last of their guests, Meredith returned to the bar to find Charlie who had passed out

from drinking too much.

She went up to him, tapped his face gently, and said, “Charlie, wake up. Let us go home and rest.”

“Us…” Charlie opened up his eyes slowly to see the face of the lady that he had loved for a long time, and suddenly

pulled into a smile. “Edith, by us…do you mean me and you?”
