Chapter 1237Chapter 1237
It was like Cooper had gotten used to how Ivy treated him. He shook his face indifferently.
"Thankyou for the sweet pastries. It's matcha, my favorite." Ivy forced a smile on her face and touched Cooper's head. Then she
picked up the pastries and ate them.
Cooper took the pastries back and said lightly, "It's dirty."
"It's okay. It's not dirty." Ivy continued to eat it and said, "Cooper, can you go play with Nia? Mommy wants to be alone."
Cooper nodded.
Since Cooper was on his way out, Meredith quickly left the door. However, she had more doubts in her heart. Previously, she had
felt there was something wrong with Ivy's attitude toward Cooper. Ivy ignored and rejected Cooper while also feeling bad
because of her action. Due to that, Cooper was reluctant to be close with her.
Meredith wanted so badly to go into the bedroom and asked why Ivy treated Cooper in that way. Then again, she realized Ivy
would not tell the truth even if she asked. Her answer would always be the same, that she wanted to marry Josiah and had
Cooper recover.
Thus, she let it go for now and avoided spooking Ivy from accidentally exposing her true motives.
During dinner time, Ivy finally joined everyone for dinner. Mrs. Shelby was also sitting at the dinner
table. Like previously, Ivy sat beside Josiah and took very good care of him. She had completely
treated herself as Josiah's fiancee.
Meredith secretly monitored Ivy's movement but there was nothing weird about it.As always, Mrs. Shelby only joined the dinner because she had something to say. After a few bites, she
said, "It's the New Year next week, old sir Shelby called and requested all of US to spend the New Year
in Delmas Town."
Then she looked at Josiah. "Let Mister Wesley arrange the plane. We will leave on the day after
tomorrow. And also take the time to arrange your work."
Josiah replied, "We can fly back anytime we want with the private jet plane. There's no need to make a
special arrangement. But..." Josiah looked at Meredith, "We can go back for the New Year but Meredith
is coming with US."
"No." Mrs. Shelby objected to it without any delay. "Josiah, don't forget you are marrying Ivy next
month. It's only appropriate that you, Ivy, and the kids go back together."
"Mother, the wedding is canceled on the very night you and Ivy drugged me," Josiah refuted.
"You—" Mrs. Shelby was furious. "I don't agree with it."
Before Josiah could say anything, Meredith spoke first. "Mrs.
Shelby, I want to go and visit old Madam Shelby."
Not only was Mrs. Shelby shocked by it, but Josiah was also surprised too. Normally, Meredith would
follow as she was told, especially on this matter.
Had her thoughts changed? Was she starting to act in concert with Josiah now?
Josiah was pleased with the improvement Meredith made.
On the other hand, Mrs. Shelby was so angry that she could not find words to talkback. Ivy suddenly said, "If you want to visit Old
Madam Shelby, you can do that after the New Year."Meredith looked at Ivy and the polite smile on Ivy's face. "I promised old Madam Shelby that I will bring Nia back to spend the
New Year with her.
"Miss Landers, you don't have to worry about a thing. I will just be there for a few days. It won't affect you and Josiah."
Instantly, Josiah was unhappy. He lowered his head and looked at Meredith. "Meredith Leighton, what do you mean by not
affecting me and Miss Landers?"
Meredith secretly kicked his leg under the table to hint him to shut up.
Josiah was speechless.
