Chapter 1223
Thinking of those words that Ivy said yesterday, Meredith was still quite worried about Nia's safety.
It would all be finished if Ivy were to take it out on Nia in a fit of anger.
Mrs. Shelby coldly looked askance at her. "You and my son are all happy from sleeping together now. Do you still
have the mind to be concerned about the children?"
Meredith got even more worried. "Where exactly is Nia?"
"Are you questioning me?"
Meredith was speechless. She could not offend Mrs. Shelby for the sake of Nia, so could only tug at Josiah's clothes
secretly.
Josiah comforted her by saying, "Don't worry. Cooper and Nia are both Mother's grandson and granddaughter. If
she could lay a finger on them, then she truly would be..."

Meredith, however, reminded him, "But Ivy is not home."
What she meant was very clear. Ivy was the most dangerous one.
Josiah seemed to agree with her thoughts as well, so he turned and said to Mrs. Shelby, "Mother, please tell me Ivy
and the children's whereabouts."
Mrs. Shelby was very angry at her son's tone in which he spoke, but once she thought that Ivy was locked up in the
basement by her, she could only grit her teeth and said, "Didn't you say so yourself just now? Cooper and Nia are
my grandson and granddaughter, so would I let Ivy harm them?"
She was afraid that they would continue asking her questions, so she immediately added, "Lily and Quincy had
taken Cooper and Nia to the flower market early in the morning."
"Really?" Meredith was not too convinced.
Josiah, on the other hand, already took out his phone and started dialing Lily's number.
The call was answered very quickly. It was after Josiah heard that the children were together with Lily that he felt
relieved. Also, he asked, "when are all of you coming back?"
"Sir, we're preparing to return now."
"Where's Nia?"
"She is in front watching somebody making candy figurines," Lily said, "Sir, hold on for a moment. I'll hand the
phone to Nia immediately."
Very soon, he heard Nia's excited voice coming from the phone. " Daddy, there's an amazing grandpa here. The
candy figurines that he made look just like Cooper and me."
Josiah laughed a little. "He made them according to how both of you looked like."
"Mm-hmm. It looks so nice that I can't bear to eat it."
"Is Cooper by your side?"
"Yes."

"Alright, see you, Daddy."
Josiah hung up the call and told Meredith, "Edith, you can ease your mind now, can't you?"
Even though Lily was there, Meredith was still more or less still a little worried as she did not see the children. Also,
the main thing was that Ivy was not in the mansion.
Meredith was curious and asked, "Where has Miss Landers gone?
She was asking Josiah, but it was Mrs. Shelby who answered her, " How can you have the cheek to ask that? where
do you think Ivy would go at such a moment? I'm warning you, Meredith, if something were to happen to her, I'll
never forgive you."
The reason that she had given was very suitable and also very reasonable, so Josiah and Meredith almost believed
her immediately.
Josiah was not worried that Ivy would take things too hard. He knitted his eyebrows and said, "It seems like you
don't think that drugging others is a kind of wrongdoing, Mother."
Josiah then raised his arm and wrapped it around Meredith. " However, I have to thank you. If you hadn't drugged
me last night, it wouldn't be possible for Meredith and me to get close to each other, much less let Meredith
promise to stand on my side and marry me again..."
