Chapter 1234
"Mommy, look. Aunt Ivy bought new clothes for me and Cooper," Nia said happily to Meredith.
At that time, Ivy stood up straight, she looked like it was very difficult for her to do that and her face looked quite
pale.
Meredith looked at her and then at the parent-child outfit on the kids.
Ivy also looked at the kids’ clothing. She said, "Please don't be awkward. I saw these when I was shopping
yesterday. It looks nice so I bought it to wear during the New Year."
It was a set of four pieces of parent-child outfits. The adult ones were placed on the sofa.
Meredith was not shocked by the outfit, she was shocked by the information she heard, "Miss Landers, you were not
in the mansion because you went outstation?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes, I went to Delmas Town to handle something. I also bought these there." Ivy took the adult clothes from the
sofa and said with a boastful tone, "Look, these are mine and Josiah's. Isn't it nice?"
It was a shocking revelation to know Ivy was not in the mansion these few days because she went to Delmas Town.
Could she really feel guilty like Josiah said and went away for a few days to hide?
"Josiah, you're up." Suddenly, Ivy bypassed Meredith and walked toward Josiah who was behind Meredith. She took
the male design and displayed it in front of his body to try to see if the clothes fit. She smiled, "I brought this parent-
child outfit from Delmas Town. Try it on to see if it fits."
There was no flaw appearing in her emotion and conversation.
Meredith looked at Josiah unconsciously, she wanted to use her eyes to ask Josiah why was Ivy back in the mansion
so suddenly but Josiah thought she was unhappy Ivy bought the parent-child outfit.
When Ivy was trying out the clothing on him, he pushed her away coldly. He said with a deep voice, "I don't need it."
Ivy fell to the ground even when Josiah only pushed her so lightly.
He frowned, "Miss Landers, please don't fake it."
"Josiah..." Ivy felt embarrassed.
"Cooper, Nia, come on. Let's go downstairs to have breakfast." Meredith did not want the kids to see the unsettling
moment between the adults so she quickly took Cooper and Nia along with her to leave the room.
Now, only Josiah and Ivy were left in the room. Ivy felt the unfriendly glaring from Josiah, she lowered her head and
pretended to feel guilty.
"Miss Landers, are you feeling guilty because you drugged me and ran away for three to four days?" Josiah stared
at her and asked coldly.
Meredith's assumption and his plan to find someone to investigate Ivy's location were no longer necessary as Ivy
had now shown up again. It was meaningless too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at how pretentious and guilty this woman was, Josiah could feel his anger slowly mounting.
"Speak. Were you the one who drugged me or it was my mother?" Josiah asked again.
Ivy took a deep breath and raised her head to look at Josiah. "It was me. But...you shouldn't blame me. You keep on
ignoring me. I did it so I could be in your heart as soon as possible."
Josiah looked at her and remembered what Meredith said last night. Then he asked again, "Then why did you let
Meredith enter the study room?"
"Do you think I want that to happen?" Ivy smiled bitterly. "I didn’t expect her to barge into your study room. If she
didn't..Josiah, I'll be your woman by now.
"Meredith Leighton, I hate her!" Her expression turned from bitter to anguish, she gritted her teeth. "If it weren't for
her, the plan won't fail."
"So you don't feel remorse or sorry for drugging me?" Josiah asked.
"Is it wrong to love someone?" Ivy gazed at him. "I've loved you since we were kids. I came back for you. But you
don't appreciate me at all...what a disappointment."
There was no sign of remorse found on her face. Josiah sneered, " Guess Meredith was wrong about you. she is too
kind to think that you are actually a good person."
