Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 1230

Suzy asked with concern, “Ma’am, what should we do then?” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Shelby glared at her again, and then quietly closed her eyes.

Meredith secretly observed the annex for a day, but other than Suzy bringing the bones leftover from what Cooper and Nia had eaten to the annex, she did not notice anything out of the ordinary.

Also, Suzy went over very openly that time.

Could it be that she was really overthinking it?

At night, after the children were asleep, Josiah grabbed the chance and sneaked into Meredith’s bedroom, and he used the excuse that the bed in the study was too small so it was not comfortable for him to sleep on it.

The bed was 150 meters in width, and he was sleeping on it alone, so how could that be small? The excuse that he used was truly too terrible.

“Haven’t you always been sleeping there in the past?” Meredith shot a glance at him.

“I had no choice in the past. There was no place for me to sleep. However, now—”

“There’s no place for you to sleep either now.” Meredith cut him off. She felt that she was a little overbearing, so she raised her hand to touch his handsome face. “We’re right under Mrs. Shelby’s nose, so we’d better not be too self-centered.”

“Is it too self-centered for a married couple to sleep together in one room?”

“Mrs. Shelby doesn’t agree for US to be together, after all. Also, Ivy is still not back yet. she should be quite worried.”

Josiah pondered for a moment and could only compromise. ” Alright. I’ll continue sleeping in the study then.”

“Good boy,” said Meredith, and then she stayed silent for a few seconds before asking him, “but are you really not curious at all where Ivy went?”

“I’m not curious.”

“Why?”

“Why don’t you tell me why I should be curious then?”

“Because she hasn’t come home for four days.”

Josiah thought about it and said, “There are two kinds of possibilities. She is either angry and is playing hard to get with me or she is feeling guilty after she drugged me, so she doesn’t dare to see me anymore.”

“Then is she not worried that if the two of us spend more time together at home, our feelings for each other would be rekindled?” Meredith thought about it very seriously and shook her head. ” No, I still don’t think these explanations make sense.”

Seeing that she was very serious, Josiah could not help but also become serious. “Edith, what do you want to say?”

Meredith looked at him and said, “I suspect that Ivy has met with some accident.”

“What?”

“I have always felt that Ivy is a little odd. It was as if she was being threatened and forced.” Meredith kept recalling the suspicions she had over the past few days and said, “Previously, when she applied medicine for me, I saw that she had five scars on her wrist that were formed after slitting her own wrist when she tried to kill herself, she admitted that they were scars left behind from her past suicide attempts. The reason she gave was that she couldn’t marry you and couldn’t let Cooper’s condition get better, so she broke down and attempted suicide several times.

“However, she clearly doesn’t love Cooper that much.” Meredith thought about it again with her eyebrows furrowed and said, “Oh, yes. I had already packed my luggage that night and was already planning to return to the Leightons’ mansion. Ivy suddenly walked in to provoke me, and she even deliberately asked if I would be worried that she would do something to Nia. It was because I was frightened by her that I decided to wait until sunrise and take Nia away.”

Josiah was slightly surprised. “Do you mean to say that Ivy deliberately kept you in my mansion?”

“Now that I think about it, there is such a possibility.”

“But why would she do that?”

Meredith shook her head. That was the part that she could not figure out the most.

Ivy was hell-bent on marrying Josiah. Even the date of their wedding was decided. During the night she decided to drug Josiah, she should have been thinking of all the ways to drive Meredith away like what Mrs. Shelby did.

“Do you mean that…not only was Ivy being coerced, but something might have even happened to her?”

Meredith nodded. “Don’t you think so?”
