Chapter 1127
Meredith said, "It's better to let me do it."
The pair of father and daughter made everything so grand, so she was truly not used to it.
"No need," Josiah said, "Nia has been anticipating your return for so long before you did, so just have a good chat
with her."
"That's right, Mommy. I have so, so many things that I want to say to you."
"Is that so? Are you going to tell me about school?" Meredith brought Nia to take a seat and then said with a faith
smile, "I have been abroad, but I've always been paying attention to you. I know everything about you that
happened at school."
Meredith said again, "However, if you're willing to tell me, I'm still very keen to hear it."
"Not only do I want to tell you about the matters at school, but I also want to tell you about the matters outside and
at home."

In the kitchen, Josiah was making dinner while listening to the mother and daughter chat. They talked about school
and life, and they occasionally even talked about him.
Whenever he was mentioned, he would prick up his ears and listen carefully. He was afraid that he would miss out
on some important information.
In the kitchen, Josiah's phone rang.
He wiped both of his hands clean and picked up his phone as he was prepared to answer the call, when he saw the
number on it, he could not help but stop his movements for a moment.
It was after a long while that he clicked on the answer button.
"Hello..." His voice was very soft and it had a sense of suspicion.
A familiar yet strange voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call. "Joe, I'm back."
Josiah softly mumbled, "Mmhmm." Then, he said, "When did you return?"
"Today."
"Mmhmm." The suspicion on Josiah's face faded and his tone also became calm. "But why are you calling me?"
"I just wanted to tell you that I came back together with your mother."
Josiah was speechless and he instantly fell silent.
"We're already at home. When are you coming back?" Asked the girl on the other end of the call.
Josiah stayed silent for a very long while before saying. "Which home are you at?"
"Of course, it's your mansion," said the girl, "I heard from Lily that you've gone out, so your mother asked me to
give you a call."
Josiah looked at the mother and daughter in the living room. It so happened that his eyes met Meredith's eyes, so
he quickly avoided her line of sight.
"I'm not free today. I may only return tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" The girl was stunned. "Do you need that long?" "I'm together with my wife and child. Is that very
long?"
This time, it was the girl's turn to be silent.

"It's fine. Please help me let her know and it'll be fine."
After the girl considered for a moment, she agreed, "Alright."
Josiah hung up the call but he could not calm down after a long time.
He did not expect that his mother, who had already disappeared for almost ten years, would appear again, and she
would appear at this juncture.
Why did she return that day after abandoning him for so many years?
Could it be just as simple as meeting him once?
He buried all these distracting thoughts deep down as he decided to leave all of his time and thoughts for Meredith
on the first day she returned.
Just like the original plan, not only did Mister Josiah make a table full of delicious foods, but he even put the cake
and red wine that he had prepared in advance on the table.
After he was done putting everything on the table, he called out in the direction of the living room, "Edith, Nia, get
over here for dinner."
Nia immediately pulled her mommy to the table while saying, " Look, Mommy, hasn't Daddy's cooking improved
very much?" Meredith looked at the dishes on the table and it indeed look his he had improved a little compared to
the past.
