Chapter 1155
"No, I was reminded of myself when I was younger."

Meredith smiled bitterly. "It was normal that you were cold to me when you didn't have feelings for me. But Ivy is
someone that you've grown up together with. How could you treat her like this?"
"Because I can't have her having any expectations toward me," Josiah hesitated and went on, "do you have a
problem with me handling matters this way?"
"No," Meredith shook her head and replied, "I thought I said it earlier, I was just reminded of myself."
And she went back to preparing the cooking ingredients.

Josiah turned her around so that she was looking at him again and said, "Edith, don't worry, I'll bring Cooper for a
check-up and find the cause of his illness."
Meredith was rendered speechless. "You're talking as if Cooper is my son."
Josiah too was rendered speechless.
"Just now when you were trying so hard to protect Cooper, I really thought that you were Cooper's mother."
"I too hope that I have a son this smart," she smiled bitterly and shook her head, "but it's a pity that I don't have the
chance anymore."
The doctor said that she was not able to conceive anymore.
Josiah pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "Edith, it's enough that you have a husband who is smart, you
don't need a son that is smart."
"Stop being so full of yourself!" Meredith seethed as she pushed him away.

Josiah protested, "Why? Don't you think that I am smart?"
"Nia is right. Cooper is better than you."

Josiah did not expect that there would come a day when he would have to be jealous of his own son.
But what got him even more baffled was that his wife and his daughter were pretty much mesmerized by Cooper.
After preparing dinner, Meredith went upstairs to get the kids for dinner.
From afar, she overheard Nia asking, "Cooper, you're so good at building blocks, would you want to come here to
play with me?"
Cooper looked at her and nodded softly.

Meredith then said to them, "Kids, are you guys hungry? Dinner is ready."
"Yay! We can finally eat now!" Nia leaped up from the piles of building blocks and helped Cooper get off the ground.
"Cooper, are you hungry?"
Cooper did not reply and he simply looked at Meredith.
Meredith smiled at Cooper and said, "Don't mind her, Cooper. Nia has always liked to eat."
"Mommy, it's not true, I don't," Nia pouted her lips and said, " don't say stuff like this in front of Cooper!"
"Do you not like to eat? You'll risk gaining weight."
"Daddy said that it doesn't matter even if I gain weight because Daddy and Mommy will still love me the same. I
believe that Daddy and Mommy will love Cooper the same, yes?"
"Of course. No matter how Cooper turns out, Daddy and Mommy will love him no less," Meredith took them in her
hands and said, " Let's go have dinner."
On the dining table was a spread of the kids' favorite dishes, while placing some dishes on Cooper's plate, she said
to him, "Cooper, I'm not sure what dishes you like to eat so I made a few. You can just take whatever you want,
okay?"
