Chapter 1270


    After Liam left, Meredith came to Josiah. Josiah pulled her and sat her on hisp, feeling a little


    mncholy. "I finally understand that once you miss some people or things, you''ll miss them forever."


    "Thankfully, you''re still by my side." Josiah lowered his head, resting his handsome face on her


    shoulder, and took a deep breath.


    It seemed that only by deeply feeling her breath could he truly feel her presence.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Meredith raised his gorgeous face with her hands and looked at him. "How did it go? I guessed it


    correctly, right?"


    Josiah nodded.


    Liam has admitted It, and Ivy''s reaction seemed to affirm Meredith''s guess. The only thing Josiah could


    not understand was why Ivy still drugged him and got pregnant with his child when she obviously had


    feelings for Liam.


    Meredith also could not understand why. Finally, after giving it a long thought, Meredith asked, "Could it


    be that Mrs. Shelby forced her to marry you from the beginning?"


    "Definitely," Josiah said, "the question is why is she threatened by Mrs. Shelby? As far as I know, Ivy is


    not that weak."


    "Probably because they''re living in the same house, so she has to give in to her.” Meredith sighed.


    After all, Mrs. Shelby brought Ivy up, and she was grateful for that.


    After thinking about it, Josiah could onlye up with this reason too.


    "So what should we do now?" Meredith held up his handsome face. "Aren''t you amazing, Josiah?


    Hurry up and think of a way."


    Josiahughed and kissed her palm. "I''m amazing, but not in everything. Liam has a fiancee, and Ivy


    has given birth to Cooper. So what can I do?”


    "You have a point." Meredith sighed.


    So what if they knew that the two had feelings for each other? Apart from a sigh of relief because of the


    lack of a rival in love, there was no other use. However, it seemed that Josiah was in a good mood.


    "What''s the matter? You seemed happy?" Meredith nced at him and asked.


    "I can''t say I''m happy, but I really don''t feel as depressed anymore," Josiah answered helplessly, "At


    least I know that Ivy doesn''t like me, so I don''t have to be burdened anymore."


    "So, do I need to congratte you?"


    "Maybe a gift?"


    "All you do is try to cheat a kiss from me." Meredith shot him a nce.


    "But it''s not that easy to deceive you." Josiah lowered his head to look for her lips, but Meredith


    stopped him.


    "Stop messing around. I still have something to say."


    "What is it?"


    She deliberately looked at him and teased, "There’s less than a week left until your grand wedding day.


    What do you n to do?"


    Josiah sat up straight, raised his brows, and asked, " Aren''t you nning to help me escape the


    marriage?"


    "I don’t dare to do so."


    "Why not?"


    "I''m afraid Mrs. Shelby might break my legs."


    "So you''re just going to watch as your man marries another woman?"


    "If my man can''t even save himself, then he should just be with another woman."


    Meredith raised Josiah''s handsome face again. "Mister Josiah, are you satisfied with my answer?"


    "Not really," Josiah said, "If it were me-if you dared to marry another man, I would first throw that man


    into the river and then kidnap you back,pletely destroying any intentions of marriage."


    Meredith stared at him. She had to admit that Josiah could really do such a thing.


    How could someone as domineering as him allow her to marry another man?


    Meredith was able to stay with Charlie back then because Charlie was Josiah''s cousin, so Josiah did


    not act ruthlessly.


    At the thought of Charlie, Meredith did not have the mood to joke around anymore.
