Chapter 1164
Pulling over in front of the mansion, Meredith removed the seatbelt and said to Josiah, "Alright now, you should
head back to see Cooper."
"Edith, you really do care about Cooper, don't you?"
"Cut the nonsense," Meredith closed the door and urged, "hurry up and go."
Josiah had no other choice but to return to the hospital.
By the time Josiah returned to the hospital, Ivy was already back in Cooper's ward and she was feeding him fruits.
But Cooper was not eating the fruits. He was wearing a straight face.
At the sight of Josiah, Ivy immediately got up to her feet, smiled, and said to Cooper, "Look Cooper, Daddy is here
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto see you."
Cooper took a glance at him and shifted his gaze behind Josiah. He looked away when he did not see the person he
wanted to meet.
Cooper then did not take another look at Josiah.
Seeing how Cooper was being indifferent to him, Josiah was rather disappointed. But he was reminded of how
Meredith had criticized him for being too harsh on Cooper.
Hence, he softened his expression and walked over to him. "How are you feeling, buddy?"
Cooper ignored him and neither did he look at him.
It was as if Josiah was not there at all.
Ivy quickly explained, "Don't mind him, Joe. Cooper has always been like this. He hasn't been interacting with me
and his grandma either."
She then added worriedly, "I've been looking for ways to get Cooper treated but he's not getting any better. I'm
really worried about how things are going to be when he grows up later."
"Miss Ivy, I think Meredith is right that we shouldn't be talking about this stuff in front of the child." Josiah stared at
her and scoffed, "Unless you're doing this on purpose?"
Josiah had a feeling that Ivy was doing this deliberately.
She wanted to trigger Cooper so that Cooper would get all worked up and run away from home, or run out of the
house and get into an accident. Josiah felt that Ivy was using this approach to get Cooper into the Shelby family.
Ivy took a glance at Cooper and replied softly, "I'm not."
"Miss Ivy, let's have a talk, shall we?" Josiah asked suddenly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIvy nodded. "Sure."
After handing Cooper over to the nurses, Josiah and Ivy came to the guest room that was next to Cooper's room.
He turned around to face Ivy. "Miss Ivy, can we not drag Cooper into our matters?"
"Joe, I already said that I'm not," Ivy stared right back at him and went on, "I would never think of hurting Cooper. I
swear."
"You don't have to repeat your lies to me, I don't want to hear them anymore," Josiah stopped her annoyedly and
went on, "just tell me what it is that you want. Apart from getting married to you, I'll do whatever I can to give you
what you want."
Before Ivy even said anything, Josiah added, "And don't tell me that you're doing this for Cooper. From today's
incident, I can see that you don't love Cooper at all. And you didn't come back just because of him.
"If it is me that you want, then you can just give up. I will not get married to you because the person that I love is
Meredith. And I am planning to spend the rest of my life with her."
His words stabbed Ivy's heart like sharp knives.
But of course, she had already expected this.
