Before Meredith could refuse his offer, Josiah had already taken her luggage to the master bedroom.Meredith followed him quickly while saying, "Josiah, didn't you hear me? I don't need the master bedroom. I'm only here for a few days. I can just squeeze in with Nia. I…"Bam!The door was slammed shut. Meredith was pinned against the door. She was stunned by his sudden actions.Although she knew and was already long used to this, she was still a little frightened. After all, not only was Ivy staying in the mansion, but also Mrs. Shelby and Cooper.Furthermore, Josiah was about to get married to Ivy. It was inappropriate of him to do that to her."Josiah, Miss Landers is still outside, you…"It was better when she did not say anything. The moment she said something, Josiah covered her mouth as a punishment.Meredith was speechless. She pushed him away and resisted with an ambiguous tone, "Josiah, what are you doing? You forgot that it was only today that you promised Mrs. Shelby
Meredith immediately picked up the trench coat which Josiah threw on the floor before following him quickly.Sure enough, Ivy was standing by the door. When she saw Josiah, she said gently, "Joe, Cooper…""I know." Josiah swept her a gaze and mocked her, saying, "I never knew you had the habit of eavesdropping."Ivy's pretty face flushed red. She awkwardly cleared her throat.Meredith blushed too. She subconsciously kicked Josiah on his leg.Josiah let out a muffled grunt in pain. He turned back to look at her. "Meredith, you…""Mister Josiah, please watch your words," Meredith coldly said to him.Ivy said to Meredith, "Miss Meredith, on the contrary, I hope that you would watch your actions. After all, Joe and I are about to get married."Meredith was speechless.Josiah initially wanted to get Ivy to shut up, but he instantly swallowed his words. He changed his mind and agreed with Ivy. "Ivy is right. Please mind yourself, Miss Meredith."Meredith was stunned. She looked at
"You're a girl. It's normal that you don't know how to play, but Cooper can teach you." Ivy patted Cooper on his head. "Cooper, go. Go get your Leggos and teach Nia how to play."Cooper look at Ivy, then at the door, before turning around to go get his Leggos.After dealing with Cooper, Ivy turned around and walked over to Meredith. She smiled a little and said, "Meredith, thank you. I can't thank you enough.""No problem. It's just nice. Nia likes chicken wings too," Meredith said while looking at the children in the room.She went downstairs to the kitchen and saw Lily, who looked like she wanted to say something.She could not help but shrug and say, "Lily, I'm not going to lie to you. I think this is very awkward too. I don't know what to say.""Sigh, your relationship with Sir is always filled with twists and turns," Lily sighed helplessly and said, "he had been waiting for half a year. He finally waited until you returned. Who would have thought that…Miss Landers would ap
Meredith looked at the two children. She got up from her chair and said, "I'll go look after the children. You two continue eating."Then, she got up and headed to the kitchen.Seeing Meredith leaving, Ivy snuck glances at Josiah next to her. She pretended to say nonchalantly, "Joe, do you think Meredith still misses Charlie? I saw that she still has a photo of Charlie in her house."Josiah was wiping his mouth with a piece of tissue when he stopped what he was doing. He turned to look at her. "Yes, she still misses Charlie. What are you trying to say?""N-Nothing. I didn't mean anything by that." Ivy shook her head.Josiah got up from his chair before saying, "Don't you try to drive a wedge between Meredith and me. My feelings for her will never change in this life.""Joe.""Also, don't think that just because you used Cooper to force me to marry you, I will fall in love with you," Josiah said before leaving the dining hall.He went to his study room upstairs. Through the wind
Raising Cooper for so many years, this was the first time Ivy saw him being so happy. He was so happy that…she could not bear to disturb him.However, at that moment, a familiar car sound came from the entrance. Ivy instantly came to her senses. She quickly turned around and headed downstairs.She came to the garden and picked Cooper up. She patted the grass on him and said, "Cooper, it's late. Let's go back in."Then, she pulled him into the house whether he was willing to or not.Cooper was pulled away by Ivy. He kept turning around to look at Meredith and Nia.Seeing him being taken away, Nia asked, "Cooper, do you not want the roses anymore?"However, Cooper had vanished from her sight into the house.Meredith saw how disappointed Nia was. She walked over and helped Nia arrange the flowers while comforting her, "It's alright. We will just send the flowers to his room later.""Okay, then." Nia was not a petty person. She was immediately happy once more.Returning to her roo
Meredith saw how moved Ivy was. She could not understand her at all. Would a woman, who got someone to crash into her son just so she could marry into the Shelby family, be touched because her son has someone to play with? Perhaps Ivy's acting was truly that great?"Meredith, if you're tired, go back to your room and rest. I can look after them," Ivy said thoughtfully.Meredith was still emotional that Ivy could treat her so gently and politely when she turned around to see Josiah standing behind her. She immediately understood.Meredith looked at Josiah and nodded at him before walking to her room.Behind her, Ivy's gentle voice rang out. "Joe, I made this milk for the children. Should I make one for you so you could sleep better?"Meredith did not hear what Josiah replied to her. After returning to her room not long after, her phone rang.It was from Goldie. She told Meredith anxiously that Andrew had been beaten by others.Andrew was the company's Sales Director. He was meeti
The man Andrew was facing was the client that night. His face was injured too, but he had a few other men supporting him next to him.Andrew was clearly no match for them, if not he would not have been so badly injured.Meredith roughly heard of the incident from Goldie. She knew that Andrew hit the client because the client had said some slurs about her. She was quite moved.She quickly walked over and helped Andrew, who was stumbling."Andrew, what are you doing? Look at how many of them are there. Could you fight them all?""Just because I can't fight them, does that mean I'll back down? I, Andrew Bin, am not a coward!" Andrew pointed at himself before pointing at Meredith. "Miss Meredith, do you know what this b*stard called you? He said that you…you…"Andrew could not finish his sentence.When the men opposite of them saw Meredith appear, they were excited. They finished Andrew's sentence for him."Pretty Meredith, we were just asking Mister Andrew here to ask you out for
Meredith pretended to be conflicted and furrowed her brows. She then gave them a seductive gesture. "Why not, we have a competition of who could strip off their clothes the quickest. I'll serve the winner first."The men were stunned, then they immediately started taking their clothes off.Seeing the men taking their clothes off in public, the ladies looking on clutched their faces and ran away yelling.Meredith said to Goldie while they were taking off their clothes, "Let's go. We have to send Andrew to the hospital.""What?" Goldie could not understand Meredith's tactics. She could not follow.Meredith looked at Goldie baffled at the men taking their clothes off, she chuckled and teased her, "What? You want to look at the perverted men?""No, no, no!" Goldie immediately lowered her head, blushing.However, she immediately looked up after lowering her head. She was not curious about their bodies. She was just curious how there were such stupid men in the world, publicly competi
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
