Chapter 1173
Just as Josiah stepped out of the common room, he was blocked by several bodyguards.
He frowned and glanced at the group of men. "What are you doing? II
"Like I said, don’t dream of leaving this house today," Grandma Shelby announced.
Josiah was livid.
Ivy walked over and took his arm. "Joe, just stay and accompany me to coax Cooper to eat. Cooper will die if he
continues to starve himself. Do you have the heart to see your son starve to death?"
"Joe, just pretend that you're staying. You can leave when Cooper starts eating. I beg you...I really can't lose my
son."
Ivy instantly became teary.

at home.
Nevertheless, it was true that Cooper was not eating, and Josiah really did not have the heart to see him like that.
If him staying back would make Cooper eat, Josiah would surely stay.
In the end, Josiah stayed.
Back in the bedroom, Josiah called Meredith. Meredith excitedly asked him if Cooper had eaten, and she was quiet
when she heard him say no.
After a while, Meredith finally asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?"
Josiah pondered for a moment before answering, "Edith, I may have to live at home for a few days."
"That’s right. You should stay at home," Meredith agreed without a second thought, "Cooper refused to eat because
he couldn't live with Daddy and Mommy. You can pretend to get back with Miss Landers just to let Cooper eat first."
Josiah did not reply. He was originally worried that Meredith would be disappointed or feel left out when she heard
that he planned to stay at home with Cooper. Unexpectedly, Meredith did not feel that way, but she even strongly
agreed to the idea.
Josiah sighed in frustration, saying, "Meredith, is the only thing we have...our child and not affection?"
Meredith paused and asked wryly, "Josiah, do you think we can still be together?"
"lean."
"I can't," Meredith replied, "whether you like me bringing up the past or not, I won't forget the things you did to me
before, and I can't forget them either."
This was not the first time Meredith had said such a thing to Josiah, but he still felt extremely sad.
There was only Nia before, but now there was Cooper. Josiah even suspected Meredith would push him to Ivy's side
one day.

There was a sudden knock on the door, but Josiah ignored it.
After knocking a few more times, Ivy walked in with a bowl of garlic shrimp spaghetti and said concernedly, "Joe,
I'm sure you haven't had anything because you were busy with Cooper the entire day. Why don't you grab a bite
first?"
Josiah glanced at the spaghetti she had placed on the table.
Ivy hurriedly added, "It's your favorite garlic shrimp spaghetti. I haven't made it for you in a long time, so I hope you
still like it."
Josiah uttered, "Bring it out. I don't like garlic shrimp spaghetti."
"What? But back then..."
"Ivy, can we stop mentioning the past?" Josiah was furious. "To be honest, my biggest regret is knowing you. If I
knew you would frame me, 1 wouldn't have befriended you in the first place."
