Chapter 1169
Even Nia chimed in, "Daddy, just call me if Cooper doesn't want to eat. I'll persuade him, okay?"
"Okay," Josiah rubbed Nia's head and said, "on behalf of Cooper, thank you, Nia."
After Josiah followed Ivy up, Nia told Meredith, "Mommy, let's wait for Daddy's call here."
"Alright."
The mother-daughter duo sat at a chair by the lobby.
Inside the elevator, Ivy saw Meredith sitting with Nia through the elevator door, and she murmured, "I also want to
love my child like her..."
Josiah was also looking at Meredith and Nia. When he heard Ivy's words, he replied lightly, "Isn't Cooper your child?"

"Huh?" Ivy returned to her senses and stared at Josiah as she shook her head. "No, that's not what I mean. I also
want to get along with Cooper like Meredith and Nia, but Cooper resents me, rejects me, and he's not close to me
because I can't give him a complete home."
Josiah replied, "Cooper's not close to you, not because you can't give him a complete family, but because you never
loved him at all. II
"No, you misunderstood. I love Cooper..."
"Miss Landers..." Josiah interrupted her, "to prevent Cooper from getting too close to Meredith and Nia, you'd rather
drive Nia away than let her go up and accompany Cooper. Is that love?"
Ivy looked at Josiah, smiling wryly. "Joe, it seems that you always rendered me speechless."
"Just think it over," Josiah said and stepped out of the elevator first.
Ivy quietly took a deep breath and followed.

Even though his parents walked in together, Copper just glanced at them indifferently before looking away.
Ivy smiled and walked over. "Cooper, look."
She took out the pasta from the lunchbox and put it in front of Cooper’s nose. "This is the tri-color pesto pasta that
your Daddy made. Doesn't it smell delicious?"
However, Cooper did not even look and turned his small face away.
Ivy had no choice but to turn to look at Josiah, asking for help.
Josiah took the pasta and walked to the other side, saying patiently, "Cooper, didn't you say yesterday that my
pesto pasta was delicious? I specially made this for you."

hand also fell to the ground.
Seeing the meal that Meredith thoughtfully prepared scattered everywhere, Josiah's heart instantly surged with
anger.
"Hey, kid! Don't you have manners?!" Josiah raised Cooper's chin with his slender fingers, gritted his teeth, and
scolded angrily, "If you don't appreciate other people's effort, you don't have to knock them all over on the ground,
right? How can anyone like you if you're so ill-mannered?"
Cooper stared at Josiah stubbornly, but his eyes slowly turned red.
Ivy hurriedly said, "Joe, Cooper doesn't do well with force, and you have to coax him. Please don't act that way."
After saying that, Ivy 'saved' Cooper from Josiah's claws and pulled him into her embrace. "Cooper, didn't you say
you want Daddy? He’s back to you now, and he even cooked for you. You can't break Daddy's heart like this, okay?"
However, Cooper wriggled out of her arms indifferently, avoiding her hug.
He did not want Daddy, nor did he want Mommy.
