Chapter 1030 Meredith breathed in softly with slight sorrow and said, “Goodnight, Nia. All the best for your
competition tomorrow!”
“Mommy, I will do my best.” It was after they saw the child close both her eyes that Meredith and Josiah turned
around and left. Josiah looked at Meredith, who was looking a little down, and comforted her with a smile, “Our
daughter has grown up. She is starting to learn to be independent. You should get used to it earlier.
Meredith turned her head to the side and looked at him. “How do you know what I’m thinking about?”
“Edith, haven’t we known each other for a long time?” Josiah smiled miserably.” If I don’t even know what you’re
thinking in your head, then what right do I have to say that I love you.”
Meredith was speechless. His words did not make her feel touched. Instead, she had a sense of uneasiness as if her
mind had been seen through. However, she did not say that out loud, she just said calmly, “Ever since my mother
passed away, I was busy working, so Nia had always been taken care of by a caregiver, so she has been used to

past was uncovered again. That made him apologize like each time in the past, “Edith, I’m sorry,” Meredith cut him
off and said, “It’s all in the past now. It’s fine as long as Nia can be happy in the future.” “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely
let Nia grow up happily.” ,
“Good.”
Meredith turned around and returned to her own bedroom.
The master bedroom was facing the sea. The sound of the waves was not very loud, but it was clearly audible. On
top of that, Meredith had trouble getting used to unfamiliar beds, so she simply could not fall asleep. After tossing
and turning on the bed for a few hours, she finally got up and
walked toward the balcony.
The breeze at night was a little chilly, so Meredith subconsciously pulled her clothes tighter around her body. Once
she thought that Nia might kick her covers off the bed as she slept alone, Meredith turned around and walked
toward the nursery. Unexpectedly, she happened to run into Josiah, who was coming out of Nia’s bedroom. It
seemed like he was also there to see if Nia was still tucked in. “Edith, why are you up?” “I couldn’t sleep, so I came
over to take a look at Nia.” Meredith glanced at him.” What about you?” “Me?” Josiah raised his eyebrows. “Isn’t it
obvious? Of course, I’m having trouble falling asleep after drinking the iced tea.”
“I thought you won’t have any trouble falling asleep?” “The cup of iced tea that our daughter got was a big one. No
matter how easily a person can fall asleep, the person won’t be able to take it either.” Josiah paused for a while.
“Besides, I don’t sleep very well myself.” “Is that so? I thought you were already getting better sleep,” Meredith said
softly. “How can I sleep well when the person I like is right in front of me but I just could not get her back no matter
what?”
Meredith glanced at him, and then she turned around and was preparing to go back to her room. Josiah said to her
back, “Edith, since you can’t sleep, let’s have a drink together.” “What are we drinking?” Meredith asked. “Anything.
We’ll have whatever you want.” He said, “There’s a bar inside the resort. It shouldn’t be crowded at this hour.”

“What about Nia?”
“Don’t worry. Someone is watching over her.”
Meredith, who could not fall asleep, indeed wanted to sit down and have a proper drink. After she gave it a thought
for a moment, she said, “I don’t drink alcohol.”
She was very tempted to drink at that moment, but it was very easy to make mistakes under the influence of
alcohol, so she could not have it.
Josiah smiled faintly. “Alright. No alcohol.”
Meredith nodded and agreed.
With the misty moonlight and the sound of the waves, both of them went together to a bar nearby.
Meredith asked for a cocktail with little to no alcohol. When the waiter asked Josiah what he wanted to have, he
thought about it for a moment, and then he ordered the same drink as Meredith.
