Chapter 1040 Nia crackled and pulled Josiah‘s hand and waved at him. Josiah bent down and put his ear next to
Nia‘s face. “Do you have a secret to tell me?” Nia lowered her voice, “Daddy, I think Mommy is still unhappy. She
didn‘t come out to look at the view.”
Josiah smiled and comforted, “It‘s fine. Let‘s take our time.” “Daddy, did I not behave good enough?” Nia asked with
uncertainty. She was afraid she was not good enough but also was being too over and making her mother feel sick
and stressed. Josiah felt heartbroken to see how insecure Nia was. He said, “You have been doing a good job. One
day, Mommy will get better.” “Alright then.” Nia was once again the happy little girl. The ship stopped in the middle
of the sea. The crew started to recollect the net they put in previously. It was Nia‘s first time seeing it. She was so

a pair of gloves. “Daddy, there‘s so many small fishes. I want to bring them back to be my pet,” Nia said while
catching the fish.
“Alright, but you can‘t cry when they are dead,” Josiah said. “I won‘t. I will take good care of them.” Nia looked at
Meredith and said,” Mommy, can you please give me a pail?” Meredith passed a pail to Nia. Soon, the crew
collected another net. There were many different types of sea creatures in it. Josiah extended his fist out. He said,
“Here‘s a gift for you.”
“What is it?” Nia asked curiously.
“I promise you‘ll like it,” Josiah answered. Nia was a little worried, “Will it bite me?”
“No,” Josiah replied. Nia still did not dare to receive it. She asked Meredith, “Mommy, do you know what is in
Daddy‘s hand?”
“I‘m guessing it‘s a little crab,” Meredith said.
“I want it!” Nia extended her hand out. Josiah opened up his fist and as expected, a little crab crawled out from his
palm. “Wow! This crab is so cute.” Nia grabbed it and put it on her palm. She admired it and exclaimed, “It‘s so
white!”
“Yes, just like Nia, so white and clean,” Josiah said. “Oh no, it‘s running away.” The crab started to escape when Nia
did not hold it nicely. “Mommy, faster, catch it for me!” Nia pointed at the little crab running around Meredith‘s leg
and shouted. Meredith did not think and quickly joined the rest to help capture the crab. Nevertheless, the crab was
too quick. Very soon, it reached the edges of the ship and jumped back into the sea. “My little white crab! Uncle, I
want my little white crab!” Nia stomped her feet anxiously and shouted at the crew who was busy.

“Here here. It fell down from here. Uncle, please get it back for me!” Nia held the guardrail with one hand and
pointed at the sea with another hand.
Meredith was afraid Nia might fall down and quickly grabbed Nia. “It‘s alright, Nia. We don‘t need that one. Ask
Uncle to get you a new one.”
“No. It was a gift from Daddy,” Nia insisted.
Just when Nia was being anxious, a man suddenly jumped off the deck into the sea. Splash!
