CHAPTER 1039
Chapter 1039 However, Meredith did not want to be seen as purposely distancing herself from Josiah. Thus, she still put a shrimp ball onto Josiah‘s plate. B efore she started to eat her food, Josiah said, “I want one more.” Meredith paused what she was doing and gave him another one. “One more, please.” Meredith was lost in words. When she gave him for the third time, she said, “If you eat more, then there is no more for Nia and me.” “It‘s fine. We ca n order another plate.” Josiah looked at the shrimp ball on his plate and ate it satisfyingly.
It had been a long time since Meredith gave him food, so he wanted to take the time to enjoy it.
Nia cooperated nicely with Josiah. “Mommy, you can give more to Daddy. One is enough for me.” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Hurry up and finish your food.” Meredith urged, “Do you still want to go out to the sea?”
“Yes.” Nia quickly ate her food when she heard Meredith ask. When they finished lunch, they took the car that was arranged to arrive at the pier where they board a luxury medium–sized ship.
“Do we need such a big ship?” Meredith did not understand. Normally people would prefer the yacht for more excitement. She gave it a thought and said sarcastically, “Are you afraid?”
Josiah raised his hand and rubbed the back of Meredith‘s head. “Why? Are you suspecting me as Nia d id? I told you, I‘m not afraid of the water now. Do I need to prove it to you by swimming in the sea?”
“Sure, why not? I want to see you swim,” Meredith said.
Josiah was lost in words. He did not expect Meredith to be so blunt. It was not that he minded swimmin g in the sea but it would be a waste of time for him to change his clothing after swimming. Hence, he co uld only say, “Never mind. I‘ll swim when we come back.”
Meredith responded and boarded the ship with Nia. Josiah followed behind them. He explained, “It‘s quite boring if we just go out to look at the sea. We could do some fishing and also have dinner on the ship. Isn‘t that more exciting?”

Before Meredith could say anything, Nia exclaimed cheerfully, “Oh really? We could try fishing from the boat? And have dinner?” “Of course, you can also sleep in the boat,” Josiah said. “Wow! I like it!” Nia w as really excited. She skipped to her parents. “I have never tried fishing before. Does that mean I can c atch goldfish and keep it as my pet?” “There‘s no goldfish in the sea. But there are other fishes,” Josiah explained.” And also crabs, shellfish, starfish, and the rest.” “Really? Really? That‘s terrific!” Nia got ev en more excited. Meredith smiled uncontrollably when she saw how exciting Nia was. Josiah tilted his head and looked at her with a faith smile. “Do you know why I arranged for a bigger ship now?”
Meredith had to admit it, Josiah knew how to please and make Nia happy. All kids
loved to play with water and catch fish and so did Nia. When the ship set sail, the captain even sailed clo Nia kept thinking of last night so Nia could take a good look at it from a close distance. “There‘s nothing special about it.” Nia looked at the lighthouse while standing behind the guardrail on the deck.
Josiah was there looking at the lighthouse with Nia. He nodded, “yes, you‘re right. There‘s nothing special. But its role and meanin
“Yes, that‘s why you shouldn’t underestimate it,” Josiah replied.
Nia nodded, “I understand, Daddy.” “Nia is a smart girl.” Josiah touched Nia‘s little head while feeling ple
