Chapter 1165
She looked bitterly at him and said, “Joe, even if my family business had gone bankrupt, I was able to raise Cooper on my own. Do you really think that I’d give up on my conviction just for some money?”
“So what’s your conviction? To marry into the Shelby family?”
“I said that it is for my son, but you refused to believe me and think that I am lying, what else am I supposed to do?” Ivy shook her head and went on, “No one knows better than me how it feels to not be able to protect her own son as a mother.”
Her eyes slowly reddened.
Seeing the sudden change in her expression, Josiah scoffed, ” People who don’t know you might think that you major in acting and film, not medicine.”
It was as if she did not understand his sarcasm, Ivy went on, “Joe, please marry me for the sake of Cooper. I don’t care if you would love me or want me as long as you marry me. I don’t mind that we’re just a fake couple. Please?”
“No. Even if it’s going to be fake, I will not marry you,” Josiah rejected her coldly.
Josiah knew of course that if he married Ivy, they would be bound together by the law. And it would be hard to separate later.
He would not dig a grave for himself.
Ivy was utterly disappointed by his response. “Joe, do you really… hate me that much?”
“Yes.” Josiah nodded. “Especially after what happened today. It only made me despise you more.”

“Miss Ivy,” In a stern voice, Josiah went on, “about what I said earlier, you can take all the time you need to think about what you want. And if you want to keep this up, be my guest. But let me remind you one thing, I will never let you have your way. oh, and, if this happens again, I’m referring to how you hurt Cooper, I will report you to the cops right away.”
