She smiled at her and said, "Really? But you and Josiah are divorced. Josiah and Ivy grew up together, and they still have Cooper. Don't you think they should be together more? ""I don't think so." Meredith said, "Every child is innocent, whether it's Cooper or Nia, it's adults who make mistakes.""If you didn't insist on marrying Josiah, where would Cooper and Nia come from?"In those days, the marriage between the Leighton family and the Shelby family was instigated by Old Madam Shelby. Grandma Shelby did not agree at all, but given her role, she had no right to interfere with the Shelby family.That was why she sent Ivy back to the country to do damage, and had the child Cooper.Meredith did not know this, and she did not want to quarrel with an elder here.She said, "Grandma Shelby, I think I still have to ask Josiah's opinion on this matter. As long as he agrees to marry Ivy, I won't have any opinion.""Hasn't Josiah been brainwashed by you?""..."Looking at her indiffe
"Of course, as long as it's our Shelby family's child, I would like them." Grandma Shelby said, "I believe that when Josiah and Ivy get married, Ivy will treat Nia as her own daughter.""Grandma Shelby, the first time I saw Cooper, I liked him very much, and I also feel that I can treat him as my own son. Will Ivy be willing to hand over Cooper to me and Josiah to raise him together?""Of course not." "Why?""Because Cooper is ill, the doctor said that he must be accompanied by her father and mother to get better."Meredith said, "Josiah said that he will find the best doctor for Cooper to treat his illness. Please rest assured, Grandma Shelby."Grandma Shelby said, "Cooper has been ill for so many years, we have seen so many doctors. What other doctor have we not met? If there was, why would we return to the country?”Meredith looked at the angry Grandma Shelby, but gradually calmed down."Grandma Shelby, let's call it a truce, and not hurt each other's feelings here." She s
"..." Meredith said angrily, "Josiah, I can buy this kind of bag myself, can you not speak so badly?""Sorry Meredith, I'm just worried that you were bought off by Grandma Shelby and don't want to remarry me."It turned out that he was so aggressive because of this.Meredith looked at him and could not help but feel a little moved.No wonder Mrs. Shelby came to her today. It turned out that she encountered a hard nail in Josiah's place.Josiah looked at her and then smiled, "It seems that Mrs. Shelby has said a lot of ugly words just now, Meredith, you won’t be changing your mind I’m sure?"Meredith glanced at Mrs. Shelby and said calmly, "No, Mrs. Shelby didn't say anything bad either."She acted so sensible, well under Mrs. Shelby's watchful gaze, she deliberately pretended to be sensible.It's no wonder that Josiah and Charlie both love her so much. Her sensibility was just really confusing at times.Mrs. Shelby took a deep breath and said to Josiah as elegantly as possible
But Josiah could not wait, he interrupted her, took her hand and said, "Since we're happy, let's go through the remarriage formalities now, as long as the formalities are done, my mother can't do anything about us, and won't bother us again.""Going to go through the remarriage procedures now?" Nia asked with surprise as he led her upstairs."Yes, now." Josiah did not seem to be joking at all."Josiah, don't be so impulsive, let's have a long-term discussion."Although she decided to give Nia a complete home before returning to the country, she never thought of being in such a hurry.This was just too much of a rush."Don't make long-term plans, hurry up." Nia jumped out from the back of the stairs and said to Mommy with a smile, "Mommy, Daddy said he just wants to marry you, you should cherish it.""Well, Nia is right." Josiah nodded in agreement."No...I think if we just get the certificate like this, your mother will definitely be mad, and Cooper will be very sad.""But did
As soon as she heard that Cooper was gone, Meredith immediately became anxious. She flipped over her phone and asked anxiously, "What do you mean? Cooper is gone? How could he be gone?"Ivy, who was on the other end of the phone, was about to cry, "He said today that he is going to find Nia, but I didn't let him go. He secretly ran out.""Miss Ivy, don't worry, we didn't see Cooper at our place, think about where Cooper went...""Enough, I don’t want to hear a word of it anymore!" Josiah snatched the phone and said angrily to Ivy on the other end of the phone, "The security of the Shelby family villa is so tight, let alone Cooper, don't even think of a fly flying out. "Miss Ivy, are you playing a disgusting little trick? If you cry wolf too many times, nobody will help you!”Ivy on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned.Her voice calmed down. "Josiah, although Cooper is ill, he is extremely smart. Your security system can't help him at all. If you don't believe it, fo
Both mother and daughter decided to change their paths. What else could he say, he could only obey their opinions.The car returned to the Shelby family's villa, and the security guards immediately came up to 'complain', "Mr. Shelby, we really didn't expect the boy to be so smart that even such a powerful security system could be broken by him, and under our noses he slipped out."Josiah looked around and asked, "Are you sure Cooper ran out?""Look, Mr. Shelby, this is from the control room." The security handed him the tablet.Meredith looked over and saw that Cooper was sneaking out through the side door that should have been covered with infrared rays…It seems that Cooper was really lost."Where's Ivy?""Ivy has already gone outside to look for him.""Let's go look for him too." Meredith said eagerly to Josiah, "Send someone nearby to find it first. Nia and I will go back to the Leighton family villa and wait."If Cooper can destroy the security system, it should be easy f
She knew that Cooper was an autistic child, so she had to guide him to speak.Cooper looked at Meredith, her eyes turned red little by little.After a long while, he spit out two words in a low voice, "Daddy...Mommy...""What?" Meredith didn't understand why he was calling out Daddy and Mommy.On the other hand, Nia explained, "Mommy, Brother Cooper must have missed Daddy and Mommy."Meredith's heart twitched, she looked at Cooper and asked, "Really? Cooper?"After Cooper was silent again, he nodded lightly."..." Meredith did not know what to say for a while.It seems that Cooper and Nia both wanted to have a complete home.Cooper came here specially to prevent her from remarrying Josiah, right? But how could he do this as a child?Was it true that as Josiah said, Ivy was a scheming woman?No, she could not be like Josiah who doubted others at every turn.While reminding himself like this, she pulled Cooper over and asked, "Cooper, did your Mommy ask you to come to me?"C
It was a relief that the siblings had a good relationship, but as Nia said, it would be better if they were both from the same mother.It was a pity indeed.Shaking her head, Meredith tugged at the corners of her lips, and walked in, "Dessert is here!""Here Cooper, try if it tastes good," She put the spoon near Cooper's mouth.Cooper tried the dessert and nodded his head.Meredith was relieved and continued feeding him, "Have more if it's good."Cooper took the bowl from Meredith and started eating on his own.He was not a three-year-old kid anymore, it was expected that he would not want to be fed.Shortly after, Josiah rushed back home.At the sight of Cooper, Josiah checked him all over and questioned him right away, "Did Mommy send you here? Tell me the truth."Meredith knew right away that Josiah was thinking the same thing as her.She noticed Cooper's pitiful look and replied to Josiah, "I've asked Cooper earlier and he said that it was not Miss Ivy who asked him to c
Back in the bedroom on the second floor, Liam pulled Ivy into the bathroom to take a bath together.Ivy allowed him to take off her clothes and pulled her to stand under the water.Liam helped her take a bath and asked, "How is it? Is everything okay?""It's not bad." Ivy said, "I didn't expect your parents to welcome me so warmly."Liam looked at her proudly, with the water still flowing down from his head. "Of course! You should thank the guy that has good taste. How can they dislike a girl of my choosing?"Ivy smiled and said, "Okay, previously...""Don't mention the previous things, let them pass." Liam interrupted her.Ivy was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, it's all over.""Yes. From now on, there is only happiness." Liam lowered his head and whispered in her ear, and kissed her lips……Meredith and Josiah listened in shock to Liam and Ivy's story, while watching the three children chasing and making trouble outside the floor-to-ceiling window.They were all
Ivy raised her hand and touched the top of Siena's hair. "God treated me well, and gave me back my daughter, and also gave me the child's father.""No, you're wrong." Liam smiled and said, "God treated me well and sent the child and the child's mother back to my arms.""Oh, spare me." Madam Sheldon shook her head unbearably.Madam Sheldon finally believed that Siena was her own granddaughter.She excitedly hugged Siena into her arms, and she burst into tears with joy. "Great, our Sheldon family finally has a granddaughter! Great!""Grandma, you like Siena, right?" Siena asked sweetly."Nonsense! Of course, Grandma likes Siena. Grandma has always dreamed about a little grandson or a little granddaughter." Madam Sheldon choked as she said.Liam and Ivy looked at each other and smiled.After hugging Siena excitedly for a while, Madam Sheldon released her, and looked at her again. "Now that you mentioned it, she looks a lot like Liam. Look at her nose, her ears...right? Am I righ
"You even helped me get dressed before you left!" Liam pinched her chin. "Ivy, aren't you embarrassed saying these things?""You asked me.""...""If I didn't help you get dressed, you might be so stupid that you don't even know that you slept with someone, right?""Ivy!" Liam gritted his teeth. "You stole my seed, and you dare to laugh at me for being stupid?""Isn't it stupid?" Ivy was not afraid of him. She raised an eyebrow at him deliberately. "Liam, think about it. Were you being stupid that night?"Liam was silent.Yes, he was really stupid.He was so stupid that he was too embarrassed to admit it. He did not even have the face to mention it in front of Josiah.Looking at the woman in front of him, he wanted to laugh and be mad at the same time.He did not want to say anything. He just wanted to use actions to prove how angry he was, how excited, happy, and...Countless emotions were intertwined in his body, causing him to bow his head and kiss her lips fiercely.Ivy
"Okay, I'm sorry." Ivy got up and walked around in front of him, sitting on his lap and hugging his neck with a smile. "Do I need to make up for you as well? Say sorry to you?""Yes, of course.""I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long. I shouldn't have kept the news about Siena's from you until now, okay?""Do you think I'll let you off with just that?" Liam was not satisfied."Then what do you want?""The rest will be paid in the evening.""Okay, double compensation," Ivy responded generously.Hearing her say that, Liam was extremely satisfied.He did not mind his daughter's presence at all. He instructed her, "Siena, turn around, I'm going to kiss Mommy.""Why can't I see you kiss Mommy?" Siena was puzzled."Because your Mommy will be shy.""Oh, okay then." Siena turned around wisely."I'm not shy, it's you who is shy." Ivy held Liam's handsome face and kissed him on the lips.Liam was moved for a second, and when he tried to dee
The adoptive parents expressed their understanding. They waved their hands and said, "It's alright. If it were me, I'd be crying happy tears too.""Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, you don't have to be so polite. Otherwise, we will be even more embarrassed," the adoptive father said.The adoptive mother held Siena, who seemed a little lost. She pulled Siena in front of Ivy and said softly, "Siena, I'm sorry, Mommy never told you that Ivy is your biological mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Really? Is Mommy Ivy my biological mother? Did she give birth to me?""Yes. Mommy wouldn't just pass you to a random stranger, right?" The adoptive mother smiled and said, "Siena, you will be able to spend time with your biological mommy in the future. Isn't that great?"Siena nodded, then stretched out her palm and gently stroked Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my biological mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly pulled Siena into her embrace."
Siena's adoptive parents expressed that they understood. They waved their hands and said, "It's fine. If it were me, we would cry happy tears too." "Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, don't say such a thing. If not, we will be even more embarrassed," Siena's adoptive father said.Siena's adoptive mother pulled Siena, who did not know much about what was happening, over to Ivy's side and gently said, "Siena, I'm sorry. I have never told you that Ivy is your real Mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Are you serious? Mommy Ivy is my real Mommy? The one that gave birth to me?""Yes, if not, how could I simply give you to any other person?" Siena's adoptive mother said with a smile, "In the future, you will be living with your real Mommy. Are you happy?"Siena nodded before reaching her hand out and touching Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my real Mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly hugged her."Darling, I have been looking for you for s
Siena's adoptive parents looked at each other and smiled.The kitchen was calling them to take their seats.Liam got up and said, "Come, let's eat and talk."Then, he said to Siena, "Siena, go get Daddy and Mommy to eat. They must be hungry."Siena happily brought her adoptive parents to take their seats. The dinner was in the garden. They ate and talked at the same time. The entire process was pleasant.Toward the end, Siena's adoptive mover suddenly got up and walked over to Ivy. She looked at her deeply and said after a while, "Ivy, there is a secret I have been hiding from you for a very long time.""What is it?" Ivy saw how serious she was. She could not help but feel the severity of it."Siena…" Siena's adoptive mother paused for a while before saying, "Siena is the baby that you have been looking for all these years."Ivy was stunned. Liam was stunned too.Ivy was feeling uneasy. Blood was rushing to her head. Shock, delight, surprise, excitement, all of the emotions ga
Ivy heard what Liam said and looked out at the door.When she saw that it was Siena's adoptive parents, she was instantly stunned."They are the guests that you mentioned?""Yes." Liam stood next to her and smiled. He said, "They said they hoped that they could see Siena one more time.""Is that so? That's great." Ivy held Siena's hand and walked out.Outside the door, Siena's adoptive parents were extremely friendly. "Hello! Ivy! Haven't seen you in a while!""Hello." Ivy welcomed them. "Welcome."They looked at Siena behind Ivy. "Hello, Siena. It's been a while."Siena was so anxious she was almost in tears. She said with reddened eyes, "I don't want to go back! I don't want to!"Seeing how Siena was against them, they looked awkward. From there, one could infer how irresponsible they were of their adopted daughter previously.Ivy ruffled Siena's head and said softly in her ears, "Siena, don't be afraid. Your adoptive parents are here to send you off because you're about to
Ivy cleared her throat. She ruffled Siena's head. "Don't listen to your Daddy. How could I be tired? Furthermore, taking care of you is the happiest and proudest thing I have ever done.""Really? Mommy, you really like me that much?""I do."Siena laughed happily."Let's go. We'll head home." Ivy held Siena's hand and they walked under the sycamore tree."Mommy, has Daddy gone back?""Not yet," Ivy said, "Daddy said he wants to give us a surprise.""Oh, that's great. I don't want Daddy to leave us.""Why? Do you like Daddy?""I do." Siena nodded. "Also, with Daddy here, you will be much happier. I like to see you being happy."Ivy saw Siena's face under the sun. She could not help but be moved. Siena was too understanding and caring.She suddenly thought of her own daughter. If she was still around, she would be Siena's age. She wondered whether she was as caring as Siena.At that thought, the smile on her face faded a little."Mommy, look! There are two birds!" Siena sudd
