Chapter 1361Chapter 1361
Nia and Cooper were running around the beach.
Meredith called out to them and Nia immediately ran toward her. With a big sea conch in her hand, she said, "Mommy Mommy,
look at this big conch."
"My my, it is big, isn't it?" Meredith exclaimed as she took the conch from Nia's hand and asked, "Where did you find this?"
"Right over there." Nia then wanted her mother to put the conch by her ear and said, "Mommy, Cooper said that you can hear the
sounds of waves in the conch. Hurry up and try listening to it."
"Is that so? Let's see, shall we?"
Meredith put the conch next to her ear and after a while, she nodded. "Mm, I can really hear the sound of the ocean."
"Here, try it, Cooper." Meredith placed the conch next to Cooper's ears.
Compared to the bubbly Nia, Cooper did not like to talk too much. And there were times when Nia felt heartbroken to see Cooper
who was always quiet.
That was why she would make the first move to reach out to Cooper.
Even though Cooper did not talk a lot, he was still close to Meredith and he enjoyed his time with the Shelbys.
Cooper tried to listen and after a while, he nodded. He then wanted Josiah to listen to it too.
Josiah tried to listen too and nodded. "There is."
"Hehe. Cooper said that he was giving me the conch as a gift.Daddy, please help me hold onto it, for now, thanks!" Nia then took Cooper with her and went back to
collecting seashells.
Josiah put the conch to his ear and tried listening again.
Even though he said that he heard the ocean sounds but truth to be told, he did not hear anything.
Seeing how Josiah was being all serious, Meredith chuckled, " There now. It's only written in books that
we can hear the sounds of the ocean from the conch. It is just a trick to get the girls."
"Are you saying that Cooper was simply trying to make Nia happy? " Josiah did not think that a mature
and smart kid like Cooper would actually believe in fairy tales.
"What's so weird about it? Don't you think that the world gets a little brighter whenever Nia smiles?"
Nia was an angel and everyone adored her and wanted her to be happy.
Josiah nodded. "I can relate now when you put it that way."
Josiah and Meredith were not as active as the kids, hence, after a while of walking by the beach, the
both of them sat down on a bench.
Feeling the breezy wind on them while watching the kids playing and fooling around, both of them felt
that this moment was utterly precious.
"I have to say that it's very pretty here."
"You like it here now, don't you? You don't think that it's a waste of money now, do you?"
Meredith shook her head. "I do like it here, but I still think that it's a waste of money."
Smiling, Josiah shook his head.Meredith suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, I guess there's still no eateries around here
right? where should we have our dinner then?"
"We can head down to the resort to eat, if not we can eat on the cruise," Josiah asked, "where do you want to eat?"
"On the cruise maybe? I think Nia and Cooper would like that."
"Okay, 1'11 make the arrangements later."
After spending the entire noon running around the beach, the kids were finally tired.
With a wide grin on her face, Meredith took some new clothes for the kids to change into, "who's feeling hungry? shall we go eat
now?"
"I am!" Nia rubbed her belly and said, "Mommy, I want to have some seafood."
"It's all arranged. You can have seafood and there is other nice food too."
"Let's go eat now then!" Nia could not wait any longer.
Josiah had booked an entire cruise ship for them. On the ship, aside from the four of them, were the performers as well as the
staff.
Meredith wanted to nag at Josiah for spending money again.
But seeing how the kids were excited, she held back herself from saying anything.
She thought that the money spent would be worth it.
