Chapter 1217
Ivy did not leave immediately, but looked at her and said, “Auntie, if Joe and I succeed tonight, can you let me meet…”
“Then let’s wait until you are successfully pregnant.” Mrs. Shelby interrupted her.
Ivy felt anxious and said, “But it will be too long after a month, I’m afraid…”
“What are you afraid of? You’ve been here for so many years, and you’re still afraid?”
“Auntie…” Ivy’s eyes turned red. “One month is really too late, really…”
“Ivy, even if it’s late, it’s due to your own procrastination, you can’t blame me.” Mrs. Shelby curled the corners of her lips coldly. “Isn’t it good? You can finally solve this problem.”
Ivy clenched the medicine bottle in her hand little by little, almost crushing it.
Mrs. Shelby continued, “Besides, didn’t you like Joe very much since you were a child? You should be grateful to me for helping you so much. How can you look at me with such eyes?”
Ivy slowly eased her gaze and nodded, “Yes, Auntie, you’re right. I really appreciate you.”
“Josiah is such an excellent man, with such a huge family business. You’re just a wild girl that can’t
compare to him, right?” Mrs. Shelby smiled coldly again.
“Of course, you’re right.” Ivy stared at her and said, “But Auntie, the child is innocent.”
“Don’t talk back at me.” Mrs. Shelby put the cup on the table. “Why don’t you make preparations?”
Ivy wanted to say more, but she held back.
Josiah parked his car at the entrance of the main house but did not get off immediately.
He raised his head, his eyes fixed on the window of the master bedroom on the second floor. That was the room where Meredith lived.
Her expressionless face when she heard about his wedding date with Ivy unconsciously appeared in his mind.
