Chapter 1154
Josiah was speechless that Meredith not only did not mind having such a genius son but she was even taking
Cooper's side. He was not sure if he should feel relieved or sad.
Meredith could not be bothered about Josiah, she handed Cooper over to Nia and said, "Go on and play."
She then said to Josiah, "Would you mind coming to the kitchen to prepare dinner with me?"
Even though Josiah was really curious as to how Cooper learned such a skill, he decided to leave Cooper
alone as Meredith was too protective of him.
Following Meredith into the kitchen, a confused Josiah asked," Edith, aren't you even curious why a seven-
year-old like him is so skilled?"
"What's so strange about it? There are a lot more geniuses than you know out there," Meredith handed him
some potatoes for him to peel and she too started to prepare other cooking ingredients.

"Besides, a goal-oriented and capable woman like Ivy would definitely want to make sure her child grows up
well. I wouldn't even be surprised if she sent Cooper to those classes. Besides, autistic children often can be
more impressive than other children. II
"But..." Meredith hesitated, "from what I 've observed for the past two days, Cooper doesn't look like he's
autistic."
"Not autistic?" Josiah put down the potato in his hand and grabbed Meredith's shoulder. "You're saying that Cooper
is not sick at all?" Meredith shot a glance at him and said, "Are you blind? How is Cooper not sick when he's looking
like that?"
To be fair, Josiah did not know much about medical stuff.
"Cooper might be suffering from some mental illness but it's not necessarily autism. Even though he doesn't talk
much, he is okay with interacting with others."
Josiah pondered before saying, "I guess you have a point. Last night, I read up about autism online and I found that
autistic children tend to be stuck in their own world and they're usually unwilling to interact with others."

Meredith was surprised that he actually read up about autism. It seemed like he did care about Cooper.
"I wonder how he is when he's interacting with his mother and his grandma. It would be easier if we get to see
them interacting."
Meredith looked as if she suddenly remembered something, she looked up at Josiah and asked, "Oh right, have you
informed Ivy that we've found Cooper? She must be really worried."
"I...forgot."
Knowing that Cooper really came all the way to Leighton's mansion to find Nia, Josiah's first thought was that it was
just one of Ivy's schemes. Hence, he did not think of informing Ivy.
"I'll call Lily right now."
As soon as his call was picked up, Josiah heard Ivy's sorrowful cries on the other end of the call.
Frowning, Josiah said to Lily, "Lily, can you please let Miss Ivy know that I've found Cooper..."

"What did you say?" It was Ivy who asked the question.
Anxiously, she demanded, "what did you say, Joe? That you found Cooper? You're not lying right?"
"Yes." Josiah sounded rather cold.
He still refused to believe that Ivy was innocent.
"Where is he now? I'll come to pick him up."
"I'm going to bring him for lunch first. I'll send him back in a while," Josiah said.
Ivy wanted to add something else but Josiah went on, "Cooper is my child, isn't he? Do you really think that
I'll hurt him?"
"Joe, it's not what I mean, I just..."
Before waiting for her to finish her sentence, Josiah already hung up.
Meredith was looking at her with a look of disbelief.
Noticing the look on her face, Josiah asked, "what's with that look? Does it upset you that I'm being cruel to
other women?"
