Chapter 1170
Josiah found that he could not understand this little brat. He took a deep breath, suppressed his annoyance, and
softened his tone. " Cooper, you should let US know if you need anything. How can others know what you think if
you stay quiet all the time?"
Josiah was much gentler this time, turning Cooper's head to face him with both hands. "Come on, look at me and
say something."
Cooper stared at Josiah, gradually moved by his gentleness. After some time, he finally uttered softly, "Daddy,
Mommy..."
In the past three days, Cooper had only said no more than five sentences in total, but three of those sentences
were these two words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJosiah did not expect Cooper would say those words, and he frowned.
Nevertheless, Ivy seized the chance and said, "Joe, this is Cooper's wish, and it's also the weight in his heart."
Josiah saw the hope in Cooper's eyes, and he did not know what to say.
Later, he replied with a serious expression, "Cooper, you're a smart boy, and I'm sure you know that kids shouldn't
meddle with things between adults. Your mom and I will never get married because I don't have feelings for her.
Even so, I'm your dad, so I'll love and pamper you like how I am with Nia, okay?"
Cooper suddenly shook his head violently, and he even started to scream. As he shouted, Cooper pushed Josiah
away, shoving him further from him.
Josiah was taken aback, and he hurriedly grabbed Cooper's tiny fists. "Cooper, what are you doing? Calm down!"
However, Cooper became more agitated.
Knowing his temper and habit, Ivy quickly said, "Joe, don't hold him too tightly. It'll hurt him."
Josiah had no choice but to look at her and seek help. "What do you do when this happens?"
"Let me help," Ivy replied, "whenever Cooper loses his temper, I'll hug and coax him, slowly waiting until he calms
down."
"Cooper, can I hug you for a while?" Then, Ivy pulled Cooper into her arms and whispered gently into his ears,
"Baby, I know what you want...you want Daddy and me to be with you every day, right? Don't worry. I'll make your
wish come true.
"Baby, adults don't like fussy kids, and Daddy and I are the same too. So, you have to learn how to control your
emotions, okay?"
When Josiah heard Ivy's words, he felt a tinge of dissatisfaction rose in his heart, and he could not help but remind,
"Miss Landers, Cooper can't accept the truth because you gave him too much hope. If this goes on, Cooper's illness
will never get better."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIvy ignored him and continued hugging Cooper to comfort him. On the other hand, Cooper also slowly calmed down
under Ivy's soothing voice. It was apparent that this method worked well for him.
It was not until Cooper was coaxed back into bed that Ivy turned to Josiah, pulled him to the door, and asked,
"Josiah, I can't help but wonder if you treat Nia the same way?"
Josiah remained quiet when Ivy asked that. Since he found out that Nia was his biological daughter, Josiah had loved
and pampered her.
On the one hand, it was because Nia was his and Meredith's daughter, on the other hand, she was a girl. Josiah
believed that boys and girls should be brought up differently. In fact, he could not stand seeing Cooper crying for
the slightest matter as he was a boy.
"Miss Landers, you don't have to question my love for Cooper. I'm sure he'll be fine if you let me and Meredith raise
him."
"Josiah, so you've been thinking about this all the time," Ivy said bitterly, "actually, it's not impossible, but you must
marry me. As long as you marry me..."
