Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 177

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Meredith could not help but pull into a smile too. Holding her small hand in hers, she said, “You’d need to be a good girl and eat more so that you have the strength to perform on stage, okay?”

“I will make sure to eat well, Mommy. Don’t worry.”

“That’s my girl.”

“Mommy, will there be a lot of people who will be watching me? Will there be other children? Will there be a lot of pretty lights on the stage? Oh, what about flowers?”

“Hmm…” Meredith paused before going on, “we will be performing in a mall and there will be a lot of kids shopping there, and I think there will be a big crowd. And of course, there will be pretty lights and flowers on stage. So, what do you think? Are you feeling nervous?” “Nope.” Nia shook her head. “That’s good then,” said Meredith, “let’s get some rest. We can practice later using the piano app on my phone, okay?” “Okay.” Nia nodded softly and shut her eyes.

At the news that his grandmother had arrived in town all the way from Delmas Town, Josiah’s brows were knitted into a frown. “Why the sudden visit?”

“Ma’am did not say anything,” Wesley shook his head but pulled into a slight smile, adding, “but this has always been how she is, isn’t it? Ma’am always does things her own way.” Seeing how Josiah was not saying anything, Wesley asked curiously, “But Sir, why are you so reluctant to see her? All she would ask from you is to go shopping with her, get facial treatment, and lunch together. You can always treat it as taking a break from work.”

“Don’t you already know her favorite hobby?”

“What is it?”

“Urging me to give her grandkids.” Startled, Wesley could not help but giggle, “You’re right.”

“Forget it. What time does her plane land? I’ll go pick her up.” “In an hour’s time. It’d be just about right if you leave for the airport now.” “What are we waiting for then? Hurry up and get the car ready.” Getting up from his chair, Josiah rushed out the door.

By the time he arrived at the airport, his grandmother was already waiting for him.

At the sight of Josiah, she put on a straight face and started complaining , “You brat, how could you make an old woman like me wait for you? Where are your basic manners?”

Looking at her, Josiah replied, “Firstly, I am busy. Secondly, you could’ve taken the Shelby’s private jet and they’ll be drivers that will send you straight to my place. Thirdly…” “Alright alright…” Annoyed, Josiah’s grandmother cut him off. “You think that I’m troublesome, don’t you? Fine, I’ll leave then.” Josiah’s grandmother did take the private jet but she wanted to know how important she was to Josiah. But all she got was Josiah who was as cold as ice.

Seeing how his grandmother was about to leave, Josiah hurriedly went up to her and said, “Grandma, it’s my bad. But I’m here now, aren’t I? I came rushing to the airport as soon as I got the news that you were visiting.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“All I see is that you think that I am troublesome.”

“I’m not.” “Boy, I’m warning you. Keep up this cold attitude of yours and I swear that I’ll move here to Jehovah City.” Softening his tone, Josiah pleaded, “I’m sorry, grandma. Let me treat you
