Chapter 831

“Let’s make something handmade for Papa Charlie,” Nia said.

“Okay. We can also go out for dinner,” Meredith suggested.

“Okay!” Nia agreed

“Deal. Hurry up and finish your homework,” Meredith urged.

She planned to have a family dinner on Christmas Day but she was afraid that Charlie would refuse to go out. On Christmas Day, she finally asked, “Charlie, it’s Christmas Day today. Why don’t we go out and have dinner together with Nia?”

As expected, Charlie rejected the suggestion, “Why do we need to eat out? Can’t we just eat at home?”

“There’s more fun eating out and the environment is more happening too,” Meredith explained with a light smile, “Kids always prefer happening places. We used to eat out too, didn’t we?”

“That was before I got stuck in this wheelchair. It’s a whole different story now,” Charlie said lightly.

Meredith tried to persuade him to change his mind patiently, “Charlie, it has been a long time since then. You should try going out for some fresh air. Or else, you might end up with depression sooner or later.”

“Edith, are you getting tired of me?” Charlie asked.

“Of course not. I just want you to get used to it and get better faster,” Meredith explained.

“I’ll never get better,” Charlied said remotely, “I don’t feel like going out. You can stop persuading me.”

“Charlie, but…” Meredith was not about to give up so easily. However, Charlie cut her off.

“Nia still has her Daddy. I see both of them are getting along very well together.” There was a hint of jealousy in Charlie’s voice.

Without waiting for Meredith or Nia to ask, Josiah came to the house by himself to pick them up on Christmas Day. In order to avoid Charlie having any misunderstanding, Meredith did not allow Josiah to enter the mansion. She even made Wilma send Nia out.

Josiah looked at the mansion and asked Nia, “Where’s your Mommy?”

“Mommy is inside. Do you want me to get her?” Nia asked.

“Never mind. She won’t dare to come to see me,” Josiah replied. Then he brought Nia to the car while holding her hand.

It had been a few days since he last saw Meredith. Although he did feel like seeing her, he gave up that thought once he thought about how Meredith purposely avoided him. Most importantly, he was afraid that Charlie would be giving Meredith a hard time because of him.

Meredith only put down the corner of the sheer curtain when she saw Josiah going off with Nia. When she turned around, she was spooked by Charlie who was behind her. Charlie was holding a Christmas present Nia gave him. It was a pair of Santa Claus dolls that Nia handmade.

Meredith curled up her lips into a smile and walked toward Charlie. “It took Nia three days to finish these. Do you like it?” Charlie nodded his head and put the dolls on the table. “What were you looking at just now? Josiah?”
