Chapter 1180
Ivy bowed her head when she heard that, but she quickly looked up and whispered, "But we can't let Meredith stay
here forever."
"She'll live here until you and Josiah register your marriage."
"But..."
"Besides, Joe will surely stay home if Meredith's here, and Cooper won't go on hunger strike." Grandma Shelby
paused and reminded, "Ivy, don't blame me for not helping you. I created such good opportunities for you, but if
you still fail to win Joe over, I..."
Ivy hurriedly chimed in, "Mrs. Shelby, don't you worry. I'll do my best to win Joe over."
"Great. I hope you can do what you say."

Ivy hurriedly filled her teacup and brought it to her. "Mrs. Shelby, please be careful. It's hot."
Grandma Shelby snorted and left.
Ivy squatted, lost in her thoughts. Then, she quietly got up and put the cup back in place...
Grandma Shelby was right—the first thing Cooper did when he woke up was to find Meredith. Cooper glanced
around, and he slid off the bed when he could not find Meredith.
Josiah grabbed Cooper's weak body and said, "what are you doing, Cooper? Do you want to go to the bathroom?
slow down."
Cooper stared at Josiah with his big watery eyes, and anger condensed from the bottom of his eyes.
Josiah did not spend much time with Cooper, so he could not understand Cooper. Hence, he could only turn to
Grandma Shelby with a puzzled gaze and ask, "What's he trying to do?"
Grandma Shelby coughed dryly and answered, "what else could it be? He's looking for Mommy."
Guessing Cooper would do this, Grandma Shelby made an excuse to let Ivy go out. With Ivy's absence, Josiah would
not be suspicious when Cooper threw a tantrum.
Hearing that Cooper missed Mommy, Josiah comforted, " Mommy's out on an errand, and she'll be back soon. Don't
cry."
Grandma Shelby echoed, "That's right. Mommy said Cooper likes to eat chicken wingettes, so she's out to buy you
some."
Cooper heard what Daddy and Grandma said and finally stopped making a scene.
Josiah was a little annoyed and a little helpless...
If this kid were not his own, he would have thrown him out long ago.
Grandma Shelby walked out of Cooper's bedroom, glanced back at Cooper, who had calmed down, and took out

There was a strange sound on the other end of the phone, and Grandma Shelby immediately asked alertly, "Where
are you? Why are there kids around you?"
Ivy immediately explained, "Mrs. Shelby, I had nowhere to go, so I went to the hospital to have a look."
Grandma Shelby was instantly angry. "Ivy, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I told you before that no
one but me knows..."
"Mrs. Shelby, you misunderstood. I came to the hospital because I wanted to find a job in Jehovah City. I'll go back
now," Ivy said.
"You're carrying a heavy task on your shoulder. How can you find the time to work?"
"Mrs. Shelby, Joe doesn't like beautiful but dumb women, so I want to be more independent. "
Grandma Shelby did not believe her excuse and replied indifferently, "I don't want to hear your reasons. Go and
bring Meredith over immediately."
Ivy did not need to ask to know that Cooper was awake.
"Alright. I'll go now."
