Chapter 963 "She's not upstairs?" Josiah was slightly surprised. "But she doesn't have to go to work today." "Oh? Let me try to look for her in the garden." Josiah took the groceries to the kitchen and when he walked past the dining table, he noticed the note on the table.

He reached for the note and realized that it was from Meredith.

[It's about time that | go back to Charlie. Please take good care of Nia for me for the time being. Thank you.] Reading the message, Josiah furrowed his brows.

After a while, he reached for his phone and called Meredith.

Very quickly, Meredith answered his call.

"Nia and | have bought ingredients to make your favorite dishes. How could you just leave like that?" His voice lamented with seriousness.

On the other end of the call was Meredith's calm voice. "I've planned to go back to Charlie as soon as he's calmer. | think today is a good time."

"So, you're not coming back today?" "No." "Meredith Leighton!" Josiah fumed, "I've gone through hoops just to get you back. And you're just going to abandon me and Nia like that?" "Josiah, can't you be more realistic? | am Charlie's wife and isn't it only right for me to go back to him?" "You know darn well that Charlie has gone nuts...but you're going back to him to be tortured? Do you like being tortured?" "It's exactly because Charlie is not fine, thus all the more of a reason that | should go back to him and take care of him," Meredith added, "in any case, you don't have to say anything more. Please take good care of Nia.

"And, unless it's anything urgent, don't call me because | don't want Charlie to misunderstand anything. That's all | want to say. Goodbye."

She then ended the call.

Josiah's face was overcast and gloomy.

Clenching the phone in his hand, Josiah stood still without moving an inch.

It was only when Nia returned from the garden and said to him, "Daddy, | don't see Mommy in the garden too. | think she went out. Daddy, what's wrong? Why do you look so upset?"

Josiah slowly came back to his senses and removed the phone from his ear.

"Daddy, where is Mommy?" Nia asked.

At that moment, Josiah did not know how to explain to Nia her mother's whereabouts. He could only come up with an excuse, "Mommy says that there's something urgent that she needs to deal with at work.

"Then when is she coming back?" "Not sure, darling," Josiah patted Nia's head and said, "don't worry, she'll be back." "Okay." Nia did not think much about it and went back to playing with her toys.

Meredith did not expect that she would be seeing Charlie again in this state. He was looking at her with feelings of distance and defensiveness. It was as if she was a stranger to him.

What happened to him? Could it be that he did not want to see her? "Charlie, how are you feeling?" She reached out her hand and took his wrist that was bandaged and said, " Is it still painful?" Charlie pulled back his hand quickly and he looked even more distant.

With her hands left in mid-air, Meredith felt even guilty.

"I'm sorry, Charlie. | really didn't want to leave you. | wouldn't have escaped if it wasn't because you and Mrs. Larson forcing me and leaving me with no other choice." "But you don't have to worry anymore. Now that I'm back, | will not leave you anymore. | will take care of you and stay by your side like the old times," Meredith then added, "oh, and Charlie, we can leave the country if that's what you want. You're right that Nia is already six years old and since she's adored by the Shelby family, | have nothing to be worried about. And | don't have to fight for custody of Nia. "It will only be the both of us from now on and we can go wherever you want to, okay?"
