Chapter 1264
Meredith got all excited at the mention of Liam.
Clearing her throat, Meredith explained herself, "I told you right? That I wanted to observe Ivy's
interaction with Liam.”
Yesterday when Meredith purposely brought up the mention of Liam, she could sense that Ivy
was rather uncomfortable. Hence, she was suspecting that something happened between Ivy
and Liam.
Shrugging his shoulders, Josiah said, "Fine, do whatever you like.”
Meredith then went to check on Cooper and Nia in their rooms.
She did not see them around but instead, found Ivy flipping through children's books in front of
the bookshelves.
At the sight of Meredith, she closed the book in her hands and said, "Nia went to the garden to

"Oh, what for?"
"To make flower cookies."
Meredith nodded and asked on purpose, "Is it for the Sheldons?"
"The Sheldons?" Ivy seemed surprised.
"Oh? Didn't you hear about it? Liam and his parents will be joining US for dinner. The kitchen has already started
making preparations."
"Really? I didn't know about it." A flicker of awkwardness flashed across Ivy's face.
Right then, they heard a car pulling over on the porch.
Meredith said, "I think it's the Sheldons. Do you want to come along to welcome them with me?"
"Oh, it's fine." Ivy was clearly dejected.
"Why? I thought you were good friends with Liam too, just like how you were with Joe."
"It’s been a long time since we last met. We've grown apart and there's nothing much for US to talk about."
Ivy turned around so that her back was facing Meredith. She picked out a book from the shelf and started flipping
through it. "Meredith, you should go ahead."
"Alright then. I'll go."
When Meredith came downstairs, Liam and his parents were entering the house.
Meredith had met Liam's parents so she greeted them politely.
But Liam's parents looked conflicted. They looked at her, then looked at Josiah. It was obvious that the old folks
were not sure how to greet Meredith.
The old folks heard the news that Josiah was going to marry Ivy next month but it was Meredith who had come out
to welcome them instead.
They were confused as to who was Josiah's wife.
Liam noticed his parents' confusion and quickly stepped in to manage the situation. He gave a light tap on
Meredith's hair and said, "It’s been a long time, Edith. You grew prettier."
Meredith smiled. "You’re still such a sweet-talker, aren't you?"

"And because it's the truth, the more that you shouldn't say it without meaning it." Josiah pushed
Liam's hand away from Meredith's hair. "Don't think that I won't dare to hit you in front of your
parents."
"Josiah’s right, son." Liam's mother quickly pulled Liam to her side and smiled. "You shouldn't
eye on your friend's wife. You should keep some distance."
"Mom, I bet you didn't know that I almost got married to his wife," Liam teased Josiah purposely.
"You bastard, what are you talking about!" Liam's father, Fabian Sheldon shot a glare at Liam.
"Hurry up and apologize!"
But Josiah did not mind. "It’s okay, Uncle Fabian. Edith has absolutely no interest in him anyway."
"Um..." Fabian did not know what else to say aside from chuckling dryly.
"There now. Do you think you're the only one who's got a wife, Josiah? My son, Liam, has one
too."
"Really? Liam is married?" Meredith sounded rather surprised.
"Not yet, but soon." Liam’s mother pulled into a smile and waved to someone at the door.
"Yanne dear, come on in."
