Chapter 656
“Stopacting tough. You’d still need to spend on groceries and other miscellaneous stuff, right? Even if you don’t
need them, Nia does.”
Meredith looked at Nia who was looking right back at her with her bright eyes. “Mommy, just accept Daddy’s gitt.”
Meredith tapped Nia’s nose and asked, “Do you even know what this is?”
“You should accept whatever gifts that Daddy gives you.” Seeing how Meredith was still hesitant, Nia took the card
from Josiah and said, “If you don’t want to take it, I’ll accept the gift in your stead.”
“Let me keep it then.” Meredith was worried to leave such an important item under Nia’s care.
Meredith kept the card in her purse. While she was doing so, Josiah and Nia gave each other a high-five. Josiah also

Meredith tried on two more sets of outfits. As always, Josiah and Nia showered her with compliments.
Meredith rolled her eyes at the both of them and said, “You know what, I’ll shop alone and the both of you can go
hang out somewhere else.”
“But why?” Looking hurt, Nia asked, “You don’t want Daddy and me to be here with you?” “Yes because both of you
are only giving compliments blindly when I need honest feedback.” Nia looked at Josiah, confused, she asked,
“Daddy, is it wrong for us to be telling the truth?” “Not sure,” Josiah shook his head and said, “All I know is that
women are always right.”
Meredith did not know what to say.
“What should we do then? It is true that everything looks nice on Mommy.”
“Mm, I think so too.”
“But Mommy wants us to shut up.”
“Wait a minute. “Josiah turned around and looked at Meredith. “The blouse that she is wearing right now doesn’t
look good on her.”
Nia looked at Meredith who was wearing a loose-collared sweater. “Is it? I think it looks pretty on her.”
“The collar is too deep.” Josiah finally got up from the couch and walked toward Meredith. He tugged at Meredith’s
blouse that had a deep V collar design and said, “Let’s not get this. Try on another one.”
“But I like this one.” Meredith responded while looking at herself in the mirror.
She really liked the sweater.
Plus, she had been wearing this type of sweater five years ago.

But Josiah was not used to seeing her dressed like this but he found it hard to stop her from dressing like this.
Hence, he came up with a lame excuse. “The collar is too deep and how is it going to keep you warm? You’ll catch a
cold easily.”
Adjusting the sweater on her, Meredith said, “It’s fine. I can wear it when the weather is warmer.”
“Let’s get this one instead.” Josiah chose another sweater that did not have a deep V collar. “I don’t like this one.”
The more she looked at the beige sweater on her, the more she liked it. Meredith then said to the employee, “I’ll be
taking this one. Would you mind getting me a new
one?”
Josiah stealthily gave an eye to Nia. Looking confused, Nia pointed at herself thinking whether she was being cued
again. Josiah gave her another look. Even though Nia could not understand why Josiah was asking her to stop
Meredith from getting the sweater, she still walked up to Meredith and said, “Mommy, I don’t like this one.” “Hmm?
And why is that?” Puzzled, Meredith looked at her and asked, “Didn’t you just say that I look good in everything?”
“Yeah. But this one doesn’t look good on you.” “And how so?” Smiling, Meredith crouched down in front of Nia and
asked.
