Chapter 1168
"Why not?" Josiah glanced at the lunchbox in Meredith's hand and asked, "Don't you miss him?"
"It doesn't seem appropriate."
If Ivy saw their family of three visiting Cooper, she might feel uncomfortable and let her thoughts run wild, then lash
her anger at Cooper.
Josiah understood Meredith's concern, so he agreed and took the lunchbox from her. Coincidentally, Ivy walked out
of the elevator at this moment.
When Ivy saw the three of them, a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "why are you here?"
Meredith hurriedly explained, "Miss Landers, please don't misunderstand. I heard Cooper refuses to eat, so I

brought Nia to accompany him."
"Nia doesn't live with Cooper, so letting him rely on her too much doesn't seem like a good idea." Ivy looked at Nia
beside Meredith and smiled. "Nia, thank you for visiting Cooper, but he's already asleep. You should go home first."
Nia became anxious, saying, "Aunt Ivy, I can wait until Cooper's awake. I want to see him."
Ivy walked over, leaned closer to Nia, and stroked her head. "But it's really not a good time for you to meet Cooper.
Nia, you're a good girl, right? Listen to me and go home first."
"Miss Landers..."
Just as Meredith wanted to say something, Ivy interrupted her.
"Miss Meredith, what are you doing? Are you trying to move my Cooper with this trick?" Ivy was still smiling, but it
was not as genuine anymore.
"No, you've misunderstood, Miss Landers."

"You know better whether it's a misunderstanding." Ivy drove them away coldly. "Miss Meredith, please take your
child home."
Meredith was at a loss for words, she knew that she should not stay any longer, but she was slightly unwilling to
leave. After all, Cooper had not eaten yet.
"Miss Landers, you keep saying that you love Cooper and can't do without him. But which part of your actions and
words show that you actually love him?" Josiah finally spoke.
"Isn't not wanting others to take him away from me love?"
"When Meredith heard Cooper hadn't eaten anything, she was worried that he might be starving, so she specially
prepared his favorite pesto pasta. Not only that, but she even asked Nia to come along and accompany him to eat.
How's that trying to steal Cooper away?"

Ivy was silent.
"If you truly love Cooper, you should let go of all the personal grudges and let him eat."
Ivy was rendered speechless by his words. In the end, she reached out and said, "Pass me the lunchbox."
Josiah handed her the lunchbox in his hand.
Ivy glanced around at Josiah and Meredith, uttering sadly, "If I say Cooper's sad and refuses to eat because he can't
live with Daddy and Mommy, you might think I'm using him to force you to separate."
Josiah actually thought so, and even Meredith felt that way.
Nonetheless, Meredith did not plan to argue with her about this issue. Instead, she urged, "Miss Landers, go up and
feed Cooper. No matter what, you have to try, right?"
"Miss Meredith's right," Ivy said to Josiah, "Joe, let's go up."
When Meredith saw that Josiah did not respond, she knew he did not want to get too close to Cooper. However, she
still coaxed him for Cooper's sake, "Well, what are you waiting for?"
