Chapter 1019
She was moved and somewhat apologetic, and pulled Nia into her arms. She stroked Nia’s shoulders while she said, “My little princess has grown up, she knows how to make Mommy happy.”
Nia sighed sadly, “But I’m so useless, I didn’t even make Mommy laugh.” “No, Mommy was just a little distracted just now.”
Meredith said, “Actually, Mommy likes to hear Nia talk about school matters. Nia, you can continue telling me about your school.”
“What do you want to hear? Study or life?”
“Well…” Meredith thought about it for a while and said, “Mommy hopes that you will do your best for your studies, and you don’t need to be too demanding on yourself.”
“Yes, just do your best.” Josiah nodded in agreement. “The most important thing is to grow up healthy and happy.”
“No, no, no.” Nia shook her head. “Mommy always says that if I don’t study hard now, I will be miserable and I won’t be able to find a job when I grow up.”
“Nia doesn’t need to find a job.” Josiah smiled and said, “Daddy will take care of you.”
Meredith coughed dryly and reminded Josiah, “Don’t tell Nia this kind of thing, it will develop her habit of dependence.”
“No, our Nia is so sensible, motivated, and smart. She took first place in yesterday’s quiz in the class, and she still studied hard when he got home.”
“I’m afraid that she will become lazy if she keeps hearing it.”
“Will you be like that, Nia?” Josiah asked Nia.
Nia shook her head. “Of course not, the teacher said that knowledge is for yourself.”
“Look, isn’t it great?” Josiah said very proudly.
She suddenly screamed.
Nia was taken aback by her, not knowing what had happened.
However, Josiah understood her thoughts in seconds, and quickly took her into his arms and stroked her. “Edith is fine, it’s fine.”
Meredith’s body trembled so much, that she murmured while shaking, “Charlie! Charlie has fallen into the sea, hurry up and save him…”
Nia stared at Mommy with some fear and asked, “Daddy, what’s wrong with Mommy? Did Nia say something wrong?”
“It’s okay, Mommy is just a little sad for a while, Nia, don’t worry.”
After Josiah comforted Nia, he lowered his head to comfort Meredith, “Edith, you’ve frightened Nia… Let yourself go, and stop thinking about Charlie.”
