Meredith and Nia were stunned when they saw someone jumping in. It was later they discovered the man who jumped was Josiah."Daddy! Daddy fell down!" Nia cared less about her little crab anymore. She screamed in shock, "Save my Daddy! Someone! Save my Daddy!"The crew looked at where Josiah fell. He comforted, "It's alright. I think Mister Josiah jumped down to get the little white crab. He will come up soon.""Really?" Nia asked worriedly. "Mommy, Daddy is really not afraid of the water anymore?""I don't know." Looking at the wavey sea surface, Meredith started to panic.With how much Josiah loved Nia, it was not weird to see him jumping off the ship to catch the little crab for Nia. The thing she worried about was if Josiah really knew how to swim and if he was really taking swimming lessons. What if he was telling lies to make himself look better?As the time slowly passed, Meredith got more anxious since Josiah had not resurfaced yet. Especially when Nia was screaming at the
Josiah was reminded by her, and felt that it was also not a good idea.In the face of Meredith's sharp tongued, soft hearted character, the most effective way to go up against her was to hurt himself and make her feel pity for him.It was a pity that Meredith did not give him this chance, and she urged again, "Please stay out of trouble, go in and change your clothes."Nia agreed and said, "Daddy, Mommy is right, go and change to some dry clothes."Josiah went obediently.Meredith accompanied Nia to continue fishing on the deck.Josiah changed his clothes and also took a shower.Seeing that the mother and daughter had caught a large bucket of seafood, he asked with a smile, "Are you planning to eat all of this seafood tonight?""Can't we?" Nia pointed to the seafood in the bucket and asked, "Daddy, uncle said that these seafood are delicious. Would you like to try them?" "I'm okay to do that."Josiah pointed to the little seafood at her feet, "What are these?""This is a l
Although the photos were objectively beautiful, they were an eyesore to her.She wanted to delete the photo, but Josiah saw through her thoughts and avoided her hand. "This photo is so good that it cannot be deleted.""Josiah." Meredith gritted her teeth and reminded secretly, "You'd better not let the photos leak out, or I...""You what?" He laughed.Meredith did not know what she could do with him, so she had to ignore him.Instead, Josiah took the initiative to comfort her, "Don't worry, I won't leak it out."When it got dark, dinner was ready.Nia rushed to the table first, looked at all kinds of small seafood and asked, "Are these really what we caught just now?""Yes." Josiah put an octopus for her. "Look, this is the octopus you caught."Nia picked up the octopus and sighed sympathetically, "Little octopus is so cute, I wouldn't want to eat you anymore."Josiah smiled and said, "You usually eat it at home too.""But what I eat at home is different. It's dead. This oct
Meredith was staring at the beam of light above the lighthouse in a daze, but she was inexplicably moved when she heard his words.She looked back at him, the expression on his face was so sincere and serious, it did not seem like he was joking at all.In order to prove that he was not joking, he repeated, "I am speaking the truth."Meredith said, "I see."She did not know what else to say.Not hearing the response he expected, Josiah was slightly disappointed.At such a time, should she not be moved to give him a big hug? Even if there is no hug, he would have settled for some vague but romantic words.In the end, the cold hearted woman gave him nothing.Back at the villa, Meredith took Nia to take a bath.After a tiring day, Nia fell asleep after taking a shower.Meredith also went to take a bath. After she came out, she saw Josiah stunned for a while, and looked at him. "Why are you still in my room?""I'm here to find you to have supper together." "I'm not hungry.""
"Josiah, I beg you to let me go. I really don't want to do this. I feel very uncomfortable..."Josiah looked at her stimulated expression, lowered his head and kissed again.He was trying to calm her down with his kiss.But he forgot something, the Meredith today was not as easy to coax as before. Now she had Charlie Larson in her heart, it was a gap that he will not be able to bridge for a while.He was pushed away by Meredith, and got a slap in the face.This slap dashed his hopes."Are you awake?" Meredith stared at him and asked.Josiah stared at her, and nodded after a while. "I'm awake.""Just get out of the way when you wake up!" Meredith turned and walked upstairs.Josiah pulled her back. "Meredith, it was me who was wrong just now, don't be angry, let's have a late-night snack."Meredith lowered her head and glanced at him as he grabbed her palm. "Do you think I can still eat it?""Why don't you go down to eat and I'll go back to my room to rest."He had already gi
Looking at the meal before her, Meredith unconsciously remembered the scene where he was pressed against the guardrail and kissed last night.She shook her head vigorously, lowered her head and started to eat breakfast.When she came to the beach after breakfast, Josiah was riding a beach motorcycle with Nia.Josiah had great skills. He was speeding wildly on the beach. Nia was not afraid. She hugged Daddy's waist tightly with one hand and held his hat high with the other, and laughed heartily.Seeing Meredith, Nia shouted, "Mommy! It's fun! Do you want to come and play together!"Meredith smiled and shook her head. "No, just play by yourself, be careful not to fall!"Nia did not seem to hear her words, because the motorcycle had already flown far away.Finally after Nia was done playing, Josiah parked the motorcycle in front of Meredith, Nia jumped out of the car, and said cheerfully, "Mommy! Why didn't you bring me to play with such a fun motorcycle before?""There was no bea
Josiah shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Well they haven't been developed, so they can be used for you and Nia's vacation in the future."Meredith thought he was crazy.Josiah asked Nia, who had run to the beach to pick up shells. "Nia, is it beautiful here?" "Pretty!" "Is it fun?""Fun!"The little girl did not even raise her head, and answered casually, but Josiah smiled at Meredith and said, "Look, it's not worth it."Meredith said speechlessly, "Josiah, in fact, you don't need to do this.""How?""Don't try to please Nia so much, and you don't need to spoil her so much."Josiah did not care, and said, "I only have one daughter, who do I not spoil if not her?"It is said that a daughter needs to be spoiled, so that when she grows up, she will not be deceived by a little favor from a boy. Not only does he want to spoil her, but he also needs to make sure no man will bully his daughter."The days ahead are long. You will get married and have more children." Meredi
"My father adored and praised my mother at the beginning, successfully entered the Leighton family, and finally found a mistress, then forced my mother out..."Thinking of what happened to her mother, Meredith could not help but feel bitter in her heart.Josiah did not think about what happened to her mother at all, so he quickly changed the course of the conversation and said, "Then we'll find a management company to take over. Anyway, we won't give our baby daughter a hard life."Hearing his unrealistic words, Meredith felt a little speechless."Forget it, let's cross the bridge when we get there."She would not believe that he would not marry a wife and have children anyway, even if he did not want to, Josiah's grandparents would not agree.Meredith turned around and planned to pick up shells with Nia, but Josiah took her arm and said, "Meredith, although these things are far away, they are predetermined."His meaning was obvious. He has identified her as his one and only wom
Back in the bedroom on the second floor, Liam pulled Ivy into the bathroom to take a bath together.Ivy allowed him to take off her clothes and pulled her to stand under the water.Liam helped her take a bath and asked, "How is it? Is everything okay?""It's not bad." Ivy said, "I didn't expect your parents to welcome me so warmly."Liam looked at her proudly, with the water still flowing down from his head. "Of course! You should thank the guy that has good taste. How can they dislike a girl of my choosing?"Ivy smiled and said, "Okay, previously...""Don't mention the previous things, let them pass." Liam interrupted her.Ivy was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, it's all over.""Yes. From now on, there is only happiness." Liam lowered his head and whispered in her ear, and kissed her lips……Meredith and Josiah listened in shock to Liam and Ivy's story, while watching the three children chasing and making trouble outside the floor-to-ceiling window.They were all
Ivy raised her hand and touched the top of Siena's hair. "God treated me well, and gave me back my daughter, and also gave me the child's father.""No, you're wrong." Liam smiled and said, "God treated me well and sent the child and the child's mother back to my arms.""Oh, spare me." Madam Sheldon shook her head unbearably.Madam Sheldon finally believed that Siena was her own granddaughter.She excitedly hugged Siena into her arms, and she burst into tears with joy. "Great, our Sheldon family finally has a granddaughter! Great!""Grandma, you like Siena, right?" Siena asked sweetly."Nonsense! Of course, Grandma likes Siena. Grandma has always dreamed about a little grandson or a little granddaughter." Madam Sheldon choked as she said.Liam and Ivy looked at each other and smiled.After hugging Siena excitedly for a while, Madam Sheldon released her, and looked at her again. "Now that you mentioned it, she looks a lot like Liam. Look at her nose, her ears...right? Am I righ
"You even helped me get dressed before you left!" Liam pinched her chin. "Ivy, aren't you embarrassed saying these things?""You asked me.""...""If I didn't help you get dressed, you might be so stupid that you don't even know that you slept with someone, right?""Ivy!" Liam gritted his teeth. "You stole my seed, and you dare to laugh at me for being stupid?""Isn't it stupid?" Ivy was not afraid of him. She raised an eyebrow at him deliberately. "Liam, think about it. Were you being stupid that night?"Liam was silent.Yes, he was really stupid.He was so stupid that he was too embarrassed to admit it. He did not even have the face to mention it in front of Josiah.Looking at the woman in front of him, he wanted to laugh and be mad at the same time.He did not want to say anything. He just wanted to use actions to prove how angry he was, how excited, happy, and...Countless emotions were intertwined in his body, causing him to bow his head and kiss her lips fiercely.Ivy
"Okay, I'm sorry." Ivy got up and walked around in front of him, sitting on his lap and hugging his neck with a smile. "Do I need to make up for you as well? Say sorry to you?""Yes, of course.""I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long. I shouldn't have kept the news about Siena's from you until now, okay?""Do you think I'll let you off with just that?" Liam was not satisfied."Then what do you want?""The rest will be paid in the evening.""Okay, double compensation," Ivy responded generously.Hearing her say that, Liam was extremely satisfied.He did not mind his daughter's presence at all. He instructed her, "Siena, turn around, I'm going to kiss Mommy.""Why can't I see you kiss Mommy?" Siena was puzzled."Because your Mommy will be shy.""Oh, okay then." Siena turned around wisely."I'm not shy, it's you who is shy." Ivy held Liam's handsome face and kissed him on the lips.Liam was moved for a second, and when he tried to dee
The adoptive parents expressed their understanding. They waved their hands and said, "It's alright. If it were me, I'd be crying happy tears too.""Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, you don't have to be so polite. Otherwise, we will be even more embarrassed," the adoptive father said.The adoptive mother held Siena, who seemed a little lost. She pulled Siena in front of Ivy and said softly, "Siena, I'm sorry, Mommy never told you that Ivy is your biological mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Really? Is Mommy Ivy my biological mother? Did she give birth to me?""Yes. Mommy wouldn't just pass you to a random stranger, right?" The adoptive mother smiled and said, "Siena, you will be able to spend time with your biological mommy in the future. Isn't that great?"Siena nodded, then stretched out her palm and gently stroked Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my biological mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly pulled Siena into her embrace."
Siena's adoptive parents expressed that they understood. They waved their hands and said, "It's fine. If it were me, we would cry happy tears too." "Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, don't say such a thing. If not, we will be even more embarrassed," Siena's adoptive father said.Siena's adoptive mother pulled Siena, who did not know much about what was happening, over to Ivy's side and gently said, "Siena, I'm sorry. I have never told you that Ivy is your real Mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Are you serious? Mommy Ivy is my real Mommy? The one that gave birth to me?""Yes, if not, how could I simply give you to any other person?" Siena's adoptive mother said with a smile, "In the future, you will be living with your real Mommy. Are you happy?"Siena nodded before reaching her hand out and touching Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my real Mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly hugged her."Darling, I have been looking for you for s
Siena's adoptive parents looked at each other and smiled.The kitchen was calling them to take their seats.Liam got up and said, "Come, let's eat and talk."Then, he said to Siena, "Siena, go get Daddy and Mommy to eat. They must be hungry."Siena happily brought her adoptive parents to take their seats. The dinner was in the garden. They ate and talked at the same time. The entire process was pleasant.Toward the end, Siena's adoptive mover suddenly got up and walked over to Ivy. She looked at her deeply and said after a while, "Ivy, there is a secret I have been hiding from you for a very long time.""What is it?" Ivy saw how serious she was. She could not help but feel the severity of it."Siena…" Siena's adoptive mother paused for a while before saying, "Siena is the baby that you have been looking for all these years."Ivy was stunned. Liam was stunned too.Ivy was feeling uneasy. Blood was rushing to her head. Shock, delight, surprise, excitement, all of the emotions ga
Ivy heard what Liam said and looked out at the door.When she saw that it was Siena's adoptive parents, she was instantly stunned."They are the guests that you mentioned?""Yes." Liam stood next to her and smiled. He said, "They said they hoped that they could see Siena one more time.""Is that so? That's great." Ivy held Siena's hand and walked out.Outside the door, Siena's adoptive parents were extremely friendly. "Hello! Ivy! Haven't seen you in a while!""Hello." Ivy welcomed them. "Welcome."They looked at Siena behind Ivy. "Hello, Siena. It's been a while."Siena was so anxious she was almost in tears. She said with reddened eyes, "I don't want to go back! I don't want to!"Seeing how Siena was against them, they looked awkward. From there, one could infer how irresponsible they were of their adopted daughter previously.Ivy ruffled Siena's head and said softly in her ears, "Siena, don't be afraid. Your adoptive parents are here to send you off because you're about to
Ivy cleared her throat. She ruffled Siena's head. "Don't listen to your Daddy. How could I be tired? Furthermore, taking care of you is the happiest and proudest thing I have ever done.""Really? Mommy, you really like me that much?""I do."Siena laughed happily."Let's go. We'll head home." Ivy held Siena's hand and they walked under the sycamore tree."Mommy, has Daddy gone back?""Not yet," Ivy said, "Daddy said he wants to give us a surprise.""Oh, that's great. I don't want Daddy to leave us.""Why? Do you like Daddy?""I do." Siena nodded. "Also, with Daddy here, you will be much happier. I like to see you being happy."Ivy saw Siena's face under the sun. She could not help but be moved. Siena was too understanding and caring.She suddenly thought of her own daughter. If she was still around, she would be Siena's age. She wondered whether she was as caring as Siena.At that thought, the smile on her face faded a little."Mommy, look! There are two birds!" Siena sudd
