Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 1226

“Miss Meredith!” Suzy rushed over to block her path. Her expression was a little sullen and she deliberately said unhappily, ” Miss Meredith, are you deliberately going against Mrs. Shelby because you’ve gained the favor of Mister Josiah?”

“What?” Meredith looked at her with confusion.

She truly was a little confused, she was just going to put a few pots of flowers in the annex, so how did it become that she was deliberately going against Mrs. Shelby?

Suzy let out a dry cough and said while pretending to be kind, ” Well, Miss Meredith, just don’t ask too many questions. In any case, just listen to me. I’m telling you this for your own good and for the sake of not letting you offend Mrs. Shelby.

“After all, her temper is not good. She could not tolerate others disrespecting her even a little. Miss Meredith, can you understand my kind intentions?”

She said it so sincerely, so of course, Meredith believed her.

“Alright then. Thank you for your kind intentions, Suzy,” she thanked Suzy and then carried the flower pots back to the main building.

At night.

Meredith looked at the dishes on the dining table and asked, “Lily, has Mrs. Shelby had dinner?”

“She said she is a little unwell, so she is dining in her room,” said Lily.

Cooper and Nia had just finished the food that Meredith made and went to play.

Ivy was not around, so only Josiah and Meredith were left at the dining table.

After he heard Lily say that Mrs. Shelby was unwell, Josiah calmly asked, “what’s the matter with her? Did she let Miss Landers check up on her?

“Sir, Miss Landers hasn’t returned yet.”

Josiah’s fork stopped mid-air for a moment, and then he asked again, “Do you know where she went?”

“I don’t know.”

Josiah nodded and did not ask any further. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Meredith, on the other hand, felt that it was a little strange, she gave it a thought and said, “Don’t you think Miss Landers’ disappearance is slightly odd?”

“Is it?”

“If she really ran away from home because she’s upset with the matter last night, she certainly would have deliberately called you or let Mrs. Shelby asks you to go look for her. However, she didn’t do so. Mrs. Shelby also didn’t ask you to go look for her.”

“Maybe she’s waiting for me to regret my decision and run out anxiously to look for her.

Josiah put a piece of fish on her plate and said with a smile, “This trick is called playing hard to get. I’ve played it before.”

“What did you say? You’ve played it before?”

“Yes. It was that time I deliberately ignored you back then and did not take you with me to attend the party.”

“Hmph…” Meredith sneered and teased him, “You’re quite good at playing tricks.”

“But it seemed like there wasn’t any effect,” said Josiah.

It was not even as effective as being drugged by someone else last night!

“So you feel that Ivy is also playing hard to get?” Meredith glanced at him. “But Ivy doesn’t look like a fool no matter what.”

“What do you mean? Do you mean I’m not worthy of her to engage in such a play?”

“No. Look at yourself, which part of you deserved for her to play hard to get? Shall we say, would it be effective on you if she did so?

Josiah thought about it and felt that it made sense.

However, he did not think too much about it. He put a piece of meatball on her plate and said, “Just eat your dinner. Don’t care about her matters.”

Meredith nodded and did not think much about it anymore.

She originally thought that Ivy would return after being ‘angry’ for about a couple of days.

What she never expected was that Ivy was nowhere to be seen for three consecutive days.

She was slightly confused by Ivy’s actions, but without her around, Meredith felt much more at ease.

At least she did not have to worry if Nia would be in any danger.
