Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 1269

Ivy tightened her grip on the cup, trying hard to remain calm. "That's right."

"Congratulations. You finally got your wish."

"Thank you. Mister Liam, hurry and look for your phone. I'm going downstairs."

After saying that, Ivy walked over from his side, ready to go downstairs. However, Liam

suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Ivy's wrist trembled, and she turned to look at him. "Is there anything else. Mister Liam?"

"Miss Landers, do you like Joe so much that you don't even have any self-respect?" Liam turned

around and looked at her coldly. "Back then, you knew that the person he married was Meredith,

yet you still drugged him. Now, you know he loves Meredith, yet you still insist on marrying

him?"

The contempt in his tone made Ivy's heart heavy and uncomfortable. However, she did not show

this uneasiness at all. Instead, she kept calm and said, " Marrying Joe has been my dream since I

was a child. No matter how difficult it is, I won’t give up.

"As for self-respect...” She laughed and shook her head. " Compared to lifelong happiness, is

pride important?"

Liam was speechless and in disbelief.

"Miss Landers, are you still the Ivy Landers we know?"

The Ivy he thought he knew would not say such things.

Ivy chuckled. "Whether I'm the Ivy you remember... Didn't you see through the truth on Josiah's

wedding day?"

Liam was at a loss for words from her reply.

Ivy was right. When she secretly drugged Josiah back then, her image in Liam’s heart was

instantly ruined. However, Liam still felt utterly disappointed when he saw her return with the

child to force Josiah to marry her.

Ivy looked at Liam, who was still handsome as always. Then, as calmly as possible, she said, "I heard that you and

Miss Young are planning to get married.

Congratulations. Miss Young looks like a good girl."

Liam was slightly irritated by her calmness and secretly gritted his teeth. "Thank you, and congratulations to you

too. You finally gave birth to Joe's child as you wished and became his fiancee."

"Thank you." Ivy pointed downstairs and added, "Mister Liam, I'll get going."

After saying that, Ivy walked downstairs.

Liam stood there in a daze. When he looked up, he found Josiah standing in front of him. He was shocked, but he

quickly returned to his usual carefree appearance.

"What are you doing? It's late at night, so why aren't you spending time with Miss Meredith in your room? You may

not be able to do so anymore after the sixth."

Josiah raised his brow at him. "Didn't you drop your phone in my study? Why aren't you getting it?"

Liam followed Josiah into the study. Sure enough, his phone was on the study table.

Josiah looked at the phone and teased, "You left this phone with me on purpose, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

Liam picked up the phone and checked if anyone had contacted him.

Josiah did not force Liam to admit it. Instead, he walked to the front of the cabinet, poured each of them a glass of

wine, and handed one of them to Liam. "Edith said I'm dense.Jt seems to be true."

"What do you mean?" Liam took the wine and clinked his glass.

"I thought about it for a long time and just couldn't understand...when did Ivy fall in love with me, and why didn’t I

feel it at all? It turns out..."

Josiah shook his head and smiled. "It turns out that she likes you...and it seems that you like her too."

Before, Josiah was still skeptical about the mutual feelings between the two of them. Until today, until just now, he

was finally sure that Meredith's guess was correct. Sure enough, women were much more sensitive in these kinds

of matters.

Liam did not intend to hide it and took a sip of the wine. "If I said that I had liked her since young, you wouldn’t be

surprised, right?"

"No. Ivy was indeed a great girl back then."

"Well, that's it. I'm a normal man, and I have normal preferences and standards."

"Are you saying I'm abnormal?"

"Did you not like her back then?" Liam looked at him and shook his head. "I don't believe it."

"If I really liked her, why should I hide it?"

"Oh, I remember it now." Liam nodded. "You only had eyes for Yena back then."

"Don't you know how I felt about Yena?" Josiah thought it was somewhat funny. "I remember you reminded me

repeatedly that I only have gratitude for Yena, not love."

"You treated gratitude as love, and that was why you didn't spare a glance at another woman," Liam said, "if you

hadn't married Meredith, I believe you would've married Yena."

"No.” Josiah shook his head firmly. "I never thought of marrying Yena."

Liam shrugged, declining to comment.

"Forget it. Let's talk about you. What’s going on between you and Ivy?" Josiah changed the topic.

"Nothing." Liam laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's all my wishful thinking because she never liked

me."

"But judging from her reaction, it doesn't seem like she has no feelings for you."

"Josiah, she worked so hard just to marry you and even gave birth to your son. Why are you still

questioning it?"

After saying that, Liam hurriedly added, "Of course, I’m not advising you to marry her. After all,

you and Meredith are basically soul mates at this point."

Liam noted everything that happened between Josiah and Meredith.

"I get it." Then, Josiah asked, "Then what's your plan?"

"What plan?" Liam asked him back.

"You should understand that I won't marry Ivy."

Liam was slightly shocked, but he soon understood-It would be surprising if Josiah would give in

to Mrs. Shelby and give up on the woman he loved.

"But now that you have a fiancee, you won't have any plans for Ivy, right?" Josiah asked.

"It's great that you understand."

"Are you and Miss Young for real?" Josiah was a little curious. After all, Liam had always been

flirtatious and never really liked any woman. Yet, he suddenly announced that he was getting

married.

This was indeed suspicious!

"Yanne is a great girl," Liam answered.

Since Liam said that, Josiah had nothing to say. He took the initiative to clink Liam’s glass. "I

really didn't expect that you, a heartbreaker, would also settle down one day. I don’t know

whether to be happy or worried, so I won't be giving you my blessing." "Just take care of

yourself.” Liam smiled and clinked his glass.
