Chapter 1140
"So you are not going to care about Cooper anymore?" Meredith asked.
"I told you, I will find the best doctor for him," Josiah explained.
"He has mental problems," Meredith said.
"I believe he will get better." Josiah gazed at Meredith with passion. "Edith, I told you, I will never let you down
anymore. This time too."

Meredith did not know if she could still trust him. After thinking for a while, she asked another question, "What did
you tell Nia?"

"Nia must be very sad," Meredith commented.
"Yes, she is a little sad. But I told her seriously, with or without Cooper, I will still love her the same as always," Josiah
said.
"Although she looks happy and cheerful all the time, she is actually a sensitive kid," Meredith said.
"I know." Josiah felt apologetical, "It's all my fault. I hurt both of you."
Meredith thought for a while and said, "Josiah, you should go back now."
"I don't want to go back." he said with instinct. "My mansion is being taken over by my mother and Ivy. I don't have
a place to go back to."
"You have to face them no matter what. Running away is not the way to solve the problem." Meredith said, "If you
don't want to see them, you can go back to the old house, apartment, or hotel. Just not here. Alright?"
"Edith, do you really want me to leave?"
"Josiah. Think about what happened. Even if I can accept it, it's still hard for Nia. Can you at least give US some time
to digest it?" Meredith asked.
Josiah did not know how to respond. Finally, he gave in. "Alright, I’ll give both of you some time to digest it. But
please don't kick me out of the house." Josiah said humbly, "Edith, could please comfort Nia for me? I don't want
her to be sad."
"Don't worry. I will."
Nia was her baby girl and her only family, she did not need Josiah to tell her to do that. After Josiah left, Meredith
went to Nia's bedroom. As expected, Nia was angry. She kept punching on the new doll Josiah bought for her while

mumbling to herself, "Daddy is a big fat liar. He is a bad guy. I don't believe anything he said anymore. No, I don't
want to talk to him, I don't want him taking me to school, I don't want to go shopping and have dessert with him,
and I don't want to eat the food he cooks! Hmph!"
Meredith's heart ached when she saw Nia's teary and swollen red eyes.
"Nia..." She walked in and pulled Nia up from the floor, and looked at her. "Why? You don't like Cooper anymore?"
Nia looked back at Meredith and nodded. "I like but I don't want him to be my real brother. Why can't he be like
Caden and be my fake brother?"
As she thought, Nia had the same thinking as she did. She liked Cooper too but deep down, she did not want him to
be Josiah's son ... Despite being in a sad moment, she still had to comfort Nia by rubbing her head.
"Actually, it's nice that Copper has the same father as you. Then you will have a real brother. I remember you used
to be jealous that Teresa had a brother to protect her."
"Yes, I want a real brother but I only want a brother that you and Daddy have. Not from Daddy and another aunty,"
Nia said.
"Isn't it all the same? As long as the brother like you and is willing to protect you," Meredith tried to persuade Nia.
