Chapter 1261 "That's a separate matter." Meredith dragged him off the couch and said,
"Besides, you wouldn't want me to be hated by your grandpa and your mother, yes?"
Josiah did not expect his grandfather to take Ivy’s side because of Cooper.
He agreed that he should not make Meredith the enemy of the elders.
But there was nothing wrong with him having a little chat with Meredith in her room. It was not
like he was going to spend a night with her.
Sitting Meredith down next to him, he asked, "You went to see Ivy, right? How did it go? Did you
find out about anything? Aren't you going to tell me about it?"
Meredith frowned and replied rather disappointedly, " Miss Ivy is keeping her mouth tightly shut.
She's not saying a word."
She had come up with such a good excuse to make Ivy spill her truth, but her plan failed
miserably.
Josiah pointed at the tablet in Meredith's hands. "What about that? She did not waver at all?"

child around the country, but she was not fazed at all." Meredith was confused and said, "She
even told me that she was just doing a favor for someone. Do you believe her?"
Josiah pondered and replied, "No."
"Right? Me neither," Meredith went on, "why would she look so miserable if she was just doing a favor for a friend?
It's impossible!
"Oh, and I noticed that her cheeks were red and swollen. It was as if she was slapped," Meredith went on, "I think it
was Mrs. Shelby's doing."
Josiah picked up her hand and sighed upon the scar on the back of Meredith's hand. "With Mrs. Shelby's temper, it’s
likely her doing."
"I suddenly feel sorry for Ivy," Meredith sighed and shook Josiah's arms, "Joe, you should help her. You’d be helping
yourself if you do her a favor, no?”
Josiah gave a light tap on Meredith’s head and said, " Edith, I know you're kind and you really want to help her. But
how are we supposed to help her if she's not saying anything? Not wanting to let US find out about anything?"
"Plus, what we know about Ivy now is simply based on our assumptions. We don't know if our assumptions are
correct."
Meredith agreed with Josiah and did not say anything further.
"But don't worry. I've made arrangements to look further into this matter. We'll know the truth soon."
"You are already looking into it?"
"Yes."
"Okay then. Let's give it a few days."
"Mm. Get some early rest."
"You too." Meredith pushed him toward the bedroom door and said, "It's the New Year’s Eve tomorrow. You have
family matters to attend to, isn’t it? You should get some early rest too."
"But I can't sleep," Josiah turned around, pulled Meredith into his arms, buried his face in her neck, and took a deep
breath, "I can’t sleep without you."
"Oh cut it out. You're still well and alive even after all those years."
"It's not like insomnia can kill."

Meredith pushed him away and took out a bottle of
Sweet Reminiscence from the drawer. "You said this helped you to sleep better, right? Go spray
this on your pillow."
"I don't want it."
"Why?"
"The smell will only make me miss you more," Josiah pushed her hand away and said, "or you
can come over to my room, or..."
"Or you can get out of my room!" Catching Josiah off guard, Meredith pushed him out of her
room and waved.
"Goodnight, Mister Josiah. See you tomorrow."
Just when she was about to close the door, Josiah grabbed her by her wrist.
"You..." Alarmed, Meredith glared at him and hissed, " What are you doing?"
"What do you think?" In a swift move, Josiah entered her room again and pushed her against the
door...
