Chapter 1135
That sentence was like a bomb waiting to be detonated in Josiah’s heart. It made him panic even more. However, standing at the door and avoiding it was not a solution, when Meredith entered the mansion, Josiah quickly followed closely.
In the house, Mrs. Shelby was sitting on the sofa together with Icy and a little boy. The boy was almost the same age as Nia. He was lowering his head and said nothing. They could not see the boy’s actual face yet.
When Meredith saw the boy, she was shocked. It was the same boy she saw on the plane! she could not help and walk up to him. Then she squatted down to look at him, “It’s you. I saw you on the plane yesterday.”
Ivy pulled the boy into her arms and talked to Meredith, “Miss Meredith, his name is Cooper. My son and Josiah’s son.”
At that moment, Meredith’s heart ached. Her breathing became heavy as she had problems with her breathing. No wonder, she thought this boy looked like Nia when she first saw him. He was Josiah’s son, Nia’s half-brother!
She looked at him with a complicated feeling and asked, “So your name is Cooper, when I ask you on the plane, you did not tell me.”
For some reason, she did not hate him even when she knew this little boy was Josiah’s illegitimate child, a child from her rival in love. Her heart was trying to make her embrace the little boy into her arms and cuddle him.
The little boy heard her voice. He lifted his head to gaze into Meredith’s eyes. When the boy lifted his head, Josiah finally could see the little boy’s face while standing beside the door. The little boy was so alike to Nia that there was no need for him to do a paternity test!
He did not suspect the boy was not his though. He yelled at his mother and Ivy with storming fury, “what’s going on? How does this child come about?”
“Josiah, you’ll scare Cooper,” Ivy said anxiously.
Mrs. Shelby finally talked with an indifferent tone, “Josiah. Is this the first thing you should say to me?”
