Chapter 1260Chapter 1260
But Ivy simply handed the tablet back to Meredith and replied flatly, "It’s fine. I was just doing someone a favor
anyway. I've tried my best.”
Mrs. Shelby had already made herself clear that as long as Ivy was not married to Josiah, the little girl would
not be admitted into any hospital.
Hence, there would be no chance of finding the child in any hospital.
At Ivy’s response, Meredith immediately furrowed her brows.
Meredith was surprised that Ivy actually said that it was fine.
Had she not been searching for the child for the entire day? And she was absentminded the whole day.
How was it that Ivy was suddenly indifferent and nonchalant about the matter?
Could it be that Meredith had really over thought matters and as Ivy claimed, she was simply doing someone a
favor?
Meredith glanced at the tablet and asked, unsurely, ” Miss Ivy, are you sure you don't want this?"
"The price is too much for me to pay. Hence, it's fine," Ivy replied calmly then said to Meredith, "Miss
Meredith, what if I offer you a negotiation instead? As long as you leave Joe, I will do anything that you
ask of me."
"What if I'm unwilling?"
"If so..." Ivy looked at her and pulled into a bitter smile. " You're leaving me with no other choice then.""What do you mean?" Meredith arched her brows and asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"I'm also not sure what I’d do,” Ivy shook her head as if she was talking to herself, she murmured, "I
really hope that I won’t have to do anything, anything at all..."
"I will never let you have Joe."
She would not give up on Josiah, she could not.
"But Joe is with me. How are you not going to let me have him?" Meredith was puzzled.
"He will marry me."
"You’re quite confident, aren't you?"
"Meredith Leighton, since neither of US is going to take a step back, there's nothing else for US to talk
about, is there? Please, if you could just leave." Ivy's gaze turned cold.
Meredith suddenly realized the redness on Ivy’s cheek. Hence, she asked, "Miss Ivy, what happened to
your face?"
Ivy frowned slightly and replied flatly, "I don't think we're close enough for you to worry about me.”
"I said earlier that you can talk to me if you need any help, I'm willing to help you. But on the condition
that you'd stay away from Joe.”
"Thanks, but you won't be able to help me."
Looking at Ivy's darkened expression, Meredith insisted, "What about if you talk to me about it first?"
Ivy slowly came back to her senses and replied, " Meredith Leighton, I've made myself very clear,
haven't I? The only problem I have right now is that I have to get married to Joe. Could you help mewith that? If not, then please leave.”
Ivy was protecting her secret stubbornly.
Meredith sighed helplessly. She had no choice but to give in. "Alright then. I hope you’ll come to your senses
soon and give up on Joe."
Meredith then walked out of Ivy's room.
When she returned to her room, Josiah was still in there.
Meredith asked, "What are you still doing here?"
"What do you mean? I’m waiting for you, of course." Josiah was flipping through a magazine.
"And why are you waiting for me?" Meredith walked over and said, "Josiah, this is your Grandma's place.
Both of your grandparents are here, you better behave."
"Can you please tell me how I am not behaving?" Josiah closed the magazine and looked at Meredith.
"For instance, you shouldn’t be seen in my room. After all, we're not married."
"But, we've promised to go through things together, haven't we?"
