Chapter 1146
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, “Josiah, is it really appropriate for you to speak to me with this attitude? I have traveled thousands of miles back to the country and I insisted you to marry Ivy regardless of your disgust. Is it for myself? Or for poor Cooper?”
“I don’t have to worry about food or clothes now, and I don’t expect you to teach me to respect me and call me ‘Mom’. I just want Cooper’s illness to get better. Is this too much?”
Saying that, Mrs. Shelby’s eyes turned red.
Seeing her like this, Josiah’s demeanor was less tense.
“You began to abandon me when I was in my teens. You ignored me for so many years and finally returned, and now you force me to marry a woman I don’t love. You keep saying that it was for Cooper, but you never thought about me. Is this fair? Am I meant to swallow my feelings?”
“Josiah, do you think I wanted to abandon you back then? If it wasn’t for the Shelby family stopping me, I would have left with you long ago.”
