Chapter 1364Chapter 1364
"Where are we going?" Cooper simply followed Nia but he did not know what kind of place the resort was.
"To somewhere better than here. You'll know what I mean once we’re there."
Nia dragged Cooper back indoors.
Josiah too helped Meredith get up from her chair. "Let's go and pack our stuff. We should make our way there now."
Right when she was about to stand up, Josiah suddenly sat her down again. "You can rest more. I can do the packing."
"We have so many things, how are you going to pack them all alone?" Meredith got up from the chair and went indoors with him.
Because they had a private ship, it was convenient for them to go to the resort.
Soon, they arrived at the villa where they stayed the last time.
Nia spread her arms wide open, inhaled the air around her deeply, and exclaimed, "Ah, this is the place, my favorite place."
Meredith ruffled Nia's hair and said, "There now. You wanted hot chocolate, didn't you? Hurry up and ask Daddy to bring you
there."
"Mommy, it's alright. Cooper can go with me instead." Holding Cooper's hand in her, she then said,
"Dad, Mom, we will help get hot chocolate for the both of you too."
"I'm good, darling!" Josiah called out to them and said, "Your mom is good too!"
Meredith replied, "Why are you answering for me?"
"Because I don't want you to get a sugar rush at this time." Smiling, he walked over and sat her down
on a chair, "sit down and take a rest. I'll unpack the stuff.""Aren't you tired?"
Meredith was surprised to see Josiah still full of energy even after looking after the kids for the entire
day.
"I'm fine." Josiah thought that it was worth his time and energy to be able to spend time with his wife
and kids.
"Alright then." Meredith shrugged her shoulders.
Since he was not tired, Meredith decided to let him unpack instead.
Meredith started to get worried when Nia and Cooper did not return even after some time.
Just when she was about to head downstairs, Josiah called out to her, "Edith, where are you going this
late?"
Rolling her eyes at him, Meredith was speechless. "Josiah Shelby, have you forgotten that your kids
are still out there getting hot chocolate?"
How could he not care about them at all?
"Cooper is there, isn't it? what's there to worry about?"
"Cooper is only older than Nia by a few minutes, okay?"
"Don't underestimate Cooper. His mental age is much older compared to Nia's. And you know how
smart he is, right? Do you really think that he'd get lost or follow some strangers?"
Meredith thought hard about what Josiah said and came to the conclusion that neither of the scenarios
was possible.Josiah was right that Cooper was smart and alert. Nia would be just fine with Cooper keeping an eye
on her.
But it was still late and Meredith could not help but feel worried.
"I don't have anything to do anyway. I'll go down and check on them."
"Hold on, I'll go with you too."
"Why? You're done unpacking?"
"Almost." Josiah walked over next to her, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "To be honest, I'm not worried about the kids
but I'm more worried about you."
"Why would you be worried about me?"
"I'm worried that you'd be seduced by some other man."
"Josiah Shelby, do you think that I'm that shallow? That I'd be easily seduced by some random man?"
"What if you meet someone better than me?" Josiah looked hurt as he went on, "Because you don't want to marry me and I can't
help but feel insecure."
"Well, I do hope to meet someone better than you," Meredith said on purpose.
"Why? Are you really thinking of cheating on me?"
