Chapter 1163
Cooper was never sure if his mother loved him but after hearing what his mother had just said...
Ivy, on the other hand, noticed Cooper was staring at him and quickly pulled away her hand.
"Okay, I've explained what I needed to do. You should get some rest and don't overthink it." Long gone was the
anxious and apologetic Ivy. she had returned to her stem usual self.
Staring at her, tears started welling up in his eyes.
And Ivy was frustrated at the sight of his tears.
"Boys shouldn't cry. Put away those tears." She then turned around and walked out of the door.
On the way home, Meredith was rather absentminded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing how Meredith was lost in her thoughts, Josiah did not think that it was a good time to bring up the
registration of their marriage. Instead, he comforted, "Edith, Cooper is fine now, isn't he? Why do you still look so
bothered?"
Meredith looked at him and asked, "Josiah, do you really think that it's possible that a woman would go to the
lengths of hurting her own child just to get married to the man that she loves?"
Meredith was appalled and horrified by what happened today, she found it hard to believe that Ivy would do such a
thing.
Josiah hesitated before replying, "To be honest, I was surprised that Ivy would do such a thing. But she did do it,
didn't she?" He then asked, "But you were determined that it was not Ivy's doing, weren't you? What made you
change your mind suddenly?"
Meredith stayed silent.
If she had not heard it personally from Ivy, she would not have believed that it was Ivy's doing.
Inhaling slowly, she then asked, "Tell me, why would a brilliant woman like Miss Ivy do such a thing just for a man? It
doesn't make sense."
Josiah replied rather helplessly, "Edith, I thinkyou're the only person in this world who doesn't care about my family's
fortune."
Surprised, Meredith asked, "You mean Ivy is eyeing the Shelby family's wealth?"
"Most probably," Josiah laughed, "if I said that it was because of me, you might think that I'm being self-obsessed
again."
"Josiah, I'm not joking around with you," Meredith sounded anxious.

"I'm not joking with you too, Edith." Hesitating, Josiah then said, " But if she's doing it because of money, I don't
mind giving her money. I'll find time to talk to her."
"If it's not enough, I can chip in some too," Meredith said.
Josiah was rather moved and surprised by her response.
Pulling over at the red light, Josiah held Meredith's hand and said, "Edith, this is rare. I thought that you would have
pushed me to Ivy. I didn't expect you to say that you'd chip in money too. I am... quite moved."
"Josiah, rather than talking about all this nonsense, shouldn't we think about how we should negotiate with Ivy?
What if it's not money that she's after? And what about Cooper?"
Suddenly getting all worked up, Meredith said, "Will Ivy choose to hurt Cooper again if you reject her again? Cooper
is still too young to protect himself, what if the next time..."
Meredith could not bring herself to finish her sentence.
Josiah gave a light pat on her shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll have a talk with her."
Meredith gave him a side-eye and said, "How are you going to talk things through with her with that cold attitude of
yours?"
