Still Loving You Nonetheless

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.”

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.

“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
