Chapter 1359


    "Rather than contemting this, why not think about what you want to do at the beach."


    Josiah was right. Besides, Nia and Cooper might already be over the moon knowing that they were going on a trip. Hence, it


    would not be nice to cancel the trip.


    Hence, Meredith surrendered and decided to ept Josiah’s n.


    By the time they reached home, Nia was already dressed in a sundress and had on a sunhat, and she was dancing around


    happily in the living room.


    Cooper, on the other hand, was calm and even though he was not as excited as Nia, his face was overflowing with happiness.


    "Daddy and Mommy, are we really going to the beach?" Nia hopped cheerfully towards them.


    Meredith nodded. "We are, are you excited?"


    "Of course! I’m super thrilled!" Nia went on, "I was telling Cooperst night that I wanted to collect sea shells."


    "Is that it? That''s a nice coincidence, isn''t it?"


    "Yeap," Nia nodded and went on, "Dad, Mom, can we go back to the beach that we visited thest


    time?"


    "Of course." Meredith walked over and held Cooper''s hands in hers. "Do you want toe with US,


    Cooper?"


    Cooper nodded. "Yeah."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "Great. We can finally go on trips as a family of four." Meredith held Cooper and Nia''s hands in each of


    her hands and she was overwhelmed with feelings of happiness.


    Lily who was watching aside said, "The kids already had their bags packed. It seems like they are


    really excited."


    "Is that so? This is great!"


    "Yeah, look at that, Mommy," Nia pointed toward the two small luggage lined up next to the couch and


    said, "one is for Cooper, and one for me."


    "Yes, darling, I can see it. But I would need to have a look at your luggage, okay?" Meredith was about


    to go through their luggage but Josiah stopped him.


    "What''s wrong?" Meredith was confused.


    Josiah smiled. "Nia and Cooper are old enough now. You should trust them a little more. Even if they''ve


    missed out on some of the things, we can always buy themter, right?"


    "Don''t worry, Daddy, Mommy. Cooper had already made sure that I brought everything with me," Nia


    replied.


    "Oh is that it? That''s really amazing of Cooper, right?"


    "Yeap," Nia nodded and went on, "at first, I''ve forgotten to pack my toothbrush and toothpaste, it was


    Cooper who reminded me."


    Meredith patted Cooper''s head and said with a soft voice to Josiah, "I didn''t expect that Ivy had taught


    Cooper well."


    Even though she had tried to lower her voice, Cooper still managed to hear her.


    A look of disappointment flickered across his face.


    Josiah walked over to him and said, "Cooper, your mother is doing fine now and she has someone looking after her. You don''t


    have to worry too much."


    Cooper nodded and he looked a little happier.


    Lily then said, "sir, Miss Meredith, we have your luggage ready."


    "Alright, thanks, Lily!" Meredith went on, "Since we''ve got everything ready, let''s go then, shall we?"


    "Okay, let''s go!" An excited Nia then pulled Cooper along with her toward the door.


    The four of them walked out of the house and got into an SUV that was stopped in front of their house.


    It was the first time the kids got to sit in a car this huge. Hopping excitedly around the car, Nia eximed, "Look Cooper, this is


    such a big car. We can even sleep in here!"


    Following behind Nia, Meredith reminded her, "Nia, don''t pull Cooper like that, you might trip him over."


    Nia sat Cooper down in one of the car seats and said, "Don''t worry, Mommy. Cooper won''t trip."


    "Even if he did, it won''t hurt, don''t worry too much," Josiah added as he sat Meredith down in the car seat.


    Thest time they went to the beach, they had a st. This time, both Meredith and Nia believed that it was going to be better.


    Because this time, Cooper was with them.
