Chapter 1278Chapter 1278
"It's not exactly an argument...! just want to know if there's a reason why she's being oppressed and abused by Mrs. Shelby."
"She wouldn't say it."
"How did you know?" Meredith looked at him. "Josiah, if it were you, you wouldn't say it too, right?"
"That depends on the reason," Josiah scrolled the screen and replied, "some secrets can't be shared, and Ivy's secret is probably
that. So don't force her anymore."
Meredith gave it a thought and felt Josiah had a point. She kept asking what difficulties Ivy had and wanted to resolve the
problem between them as soon as possible, but she never considered her feelings. In fact, she even triggered Ivy to that extent.
Meredith could not help but want to apologize to Ivy.
"Actually...I'm not just doing this for the three of US," Meredith tried to comfort herself.
Josiah nodded. "I know. You want to help her."
"Yes."
"But in the wrong way."
"Then what should I do?"
"You should at least understand what her difficulties are first, but you can't find out by asking her
directly." Josiah shot her a comforting gaze. "Just take it slow."
Meredith nodded. After pondering for a while, she suddenly asked, "By the way, when are we going
back to Jehovah City?""What's the matter? Do you want to go back?"
"Not exactly. The sixth is approaching, and you and Ivy..."
"Don't worry. I'll leave Delmas Town before the sixth." Josiah understood her thoughts, leaned over,
and said to her with a smile, "I won't let Grandpa pressure me."
Meredith only replied, "Oh."
Judging from Josiah's attitude and temperament, he would not give in to Mrs. Shelby so easily. Hence,
there was no need for her to worry at all. However, Meredith always felt a little uneasy as she believed
Mrs. Shelby was not someone easy to deal with.
Especially when she saw Mrs. Shelby's confidence.
After staying in Delmas Town for a few more days, Josiah decided to return to Jehovah city. As soon as
Nia and Cooper heard that they were returning to Jehovah City, they began to feel reluctant. After all,
the Shelby mansion was huge and fun.
In the mansion, the children could play as much as they wanted.
Old Madam Shelby had her arms around the two little kids and would not let go, no matter what Josiah
said.
Josiah patiently reassured, "Grandma, if you really miss Cooper and Nia so much, you can come to
Jehovah city to visit them."
"I'm not going!" Old Madam Shelby snorted.
After all, Mrs. Shelby had returned, and Ivy was there too. There was simply no place for old Madam Shelby in Jehovah city.Josiah understood her concern and added, "If you go to Jehovah City, you can still live in the old mansion. I'll bring the children
over to accompany you."
"The old mansion has been unoccupied for too long. I don't want to go there."
"But Grandma..."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear your voice!"
Josiah was speechless.
Nia moved away from Old Madam Shelby's arms with a smile and said, "Great Grandma, Cooper and I will often come back to
see you because we really like it here."
Knowing that Cooper did not like to be in close contact with others, Nia rescued him from old Madam Shelby's embrace too.
