Chapter 1023
However, when Meredith first took a look at it, she still felt her heart ache. It was so unbearable that she was
slightly unable to breathe.
Josiah had long expected that she would have such a reaction.
He wanted to pull her into his arms to comfort her, but he was worried that would make her have an even more
intense reaction. He had no choice but to use his
eyes and signal Nia to take action.
Nia immediately walked over sensibly. She held her mommy’s hand and said, ” Mommy, look, there’re many boats
at sea. So pretty. They’re as pretty as a light show.”
Nia pointed at a ray of light in the distance and said, “Mommy, look at that boat. Doesn’t it look like a lighthouse?”
Meredith looked in the direction Nia was pointing and saw while looking at the light. “That is a lighthouse. It’s the
lighthouse that guides the people’s course for them.”

“Some are big, some are small.”
“I really want to go and have a look.”
“If you want to have a look, I’ll go there with you the next time, alright?”
“Sure. Can you really do that?”
“Mm-hmm. I can.” She certainly could.
With Nia’s help, Meredith was quite distracted, so she was not that terrified of the sea in front of her anymore.
Josiah was very satisfied with Nia’s performance. He smiled faintly and added,” Alright. I’ll rent a boat tomorrow
and take both of you to see the lighthouse.”
“Yay!” Nia was so happy that she jumped. Immediately after, she held her Mommy and said, “Mommy, the sand at
this beach is very soft. Can we not take the car back to the place we’re staying?”
“Sure. I’ll accompany you and walk back.” Other than the fact that the sea was affecting her emotions a little,
Meredith also wanted to take a walk.
“Alright. Daddy, hurry up, and let’s take a walk together,” Nia held her Mommy’s hand in one hand while waving to
her Daddy with the other hand. Josiah caught up to her and held her little hand.
The family of three then walked on the soft sand on the beach together with the cold sea breeze blowing in their
faces. It was a little cold, but it was also very comfortable.
Nia held both her Mommy and Daddy’s hands and was skipping and hopping on the beach.
After they walked for a while, the child suddenly lifted her little head and said, ” Daddy, tell us a story.”
“Tell a story?” Josiah chuckled lightly. “Alright. What kind of story do you want to listen to, Nia?” “Hmm..tell the story
of The Mermaid then.” “The story of The Mermaid? I feel it’s better for your Mommy to tell you that story.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s better when your Mommy tells it.”
Nia then turned to her Mommy again. “Mommy, can you tell me the story?”
“Alright.” Meredith nodded. She lifted her face and looked toward the lighthouse in the distance. While looking at
the lights on top, the images regarding the mermaid gradually emerged in her mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe told the story very slowly and very emotionally. As expected, it was more moving than when a manly man like
Josiah told it.
As Nia listened to the story, she actually was so moved that she started sobbing After Meredith finished telling the
story, she lowered her head and looked at Nia’s teary eyes, and then said with concern, “Are you alright, Nia? It’s
actually just a story. It’s not real.”
“I know it’s a story, but I still feel very sad,” Nia said while feeling moved, “Why did the mermaid have to become
seafoam and disappear? Her prince would be very hurt like that. “Because they don’t belong in the same world.
Well… I should say that they are not fated.” Meredith reached out her hand and rubbed Nia’s head a little.”
Everybody has to experience too many people leaving them throughout their lifetime. Not every relationship would
last until the end, but it’s also quite nice to have had it once, isn’t it?”
Nia nodded but she did not fully understand it. She then asked, “Just like Mommy and Papa Charlie?”
