Chapter 1199
"Was he making a fuss looking for his Daddy and Mommy?"
"Nia is with him, so he didn't make a fuss."
"That's good." Meredith continued eating the sandwich. "If that's the case, let Nia stay with Cooper at your place. I
won't need to move over."
"Hmm, Mrs. Shelby and Miss Landers are planning this too. By then, we'll be a family of four and you'll be alone."
Meredith was speechless, she could no longer swallow the sandwich in her mouth.
Josiah looked up at her. "What? You don't want that?"
"Of course, not," Meredith said, "a child is part of a mother's flesh. Just like how Ivy would not be willing to hand
over Cooper for US to raise."
"So, you decide whether you want to move in or not." Josiah had prepared all the ingredients. He said, "It's done.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou can start doing it."
Meredith made the tri-color pesto and put it in a thermos lunchbox. Then, she drove to Josiah's mansion.
Josiah did not return because he had something to do in the office.
The moment she stepped into the mansion, Nia and Cooper welcomed her. Nia held Cooper's hand on one side
while accepting the lunchbox from Meredith with the other hand.
"Yay! Cooper, we finally get to eat the breakfast that Mommy made!"
Meredith patted them on their heads. "Have you all been waiting for the tri-color pesto pasta?"
"Yes. Cooper said that he only wants to eat your tri-color pesto pasta."
"Is that so? Then, quickly take Cooper to go eat."
"Okay," Nia pulled Cooper toward the dining hall. "Cooper, let's go have breakfast!"
Meredith smiled and followed them in. she initially wanted to help the children with their breakfast, yet the moment
she entered the mansion, she saw Mrs. Shelby's cold gaze.
Ivy was sitting next to Mrs. Shelby.
At that moment, Ivy looked at her with a complicated gaze.
Meredith greeted them politely before saying, "Mrs. Shelby, I still have to head to the office, г 11 make a move."
"Hold up." Mrs. Shelby glared at her coldly and questioned her, " Meredith, you know that Joe is about to marry Ivy,
yet you still took him and spent the night? what are you thinking? Don't you have any shame?"
Meredith was speechless. She took a breath and tried to maintain the calmness in her tone. "Mrs. Shelby, it is Josiah
that insisted on spending the night at my place. He is the one you should blame."
"If you're not such a b*tch, how would he have still looked for you? II
"I..." Meredith was so furious she was at a loss for words.
Upon closer thought. She did indeed not do enough. If she was firmer with her stance and if she was colder toward
him, perhaps, Josiah might not want to spend the night at her place.
"What? why are you not talking?"

happened."
Meredith took a breath and continued, "So, Mrs. Shelby, I think since we both made mistakes, let's not treat each
other with this overbearing attitude."
"Miss Meredith, please watch the tone of your words," Ivy warned, "no matter what, Mrs. Shelby is Joe's mother.
She is elderly. How could you talk to her like that?"
Her tone turned to command, "what are you still waiting for?
Apologize to Mrs. Shelby."
Naturally, Meredith would not apologize.
She looked at Ivy, who was trying to bully her because she had support and calmly said, "I'm not as good as you at
pleasing others. I don't need to please others like you do either."
Meredith ignored the changes in expressions on Ivy's face. She continued, "It's just men. Do you need to stoop to
such tactics to fight over them?"
Ivy's expressions were even more terrible.
Mrs. Shelby's expressions naturally were ugly too. she reached out to pick up the teacup on the table and said, "The
tea is not hot enough."
