Chapter 1268Chapter 1268
Although many people were at the table, the atmosphere was not harmonious and even seemed
awkward. Only Madam Sheldon and Old Madam Shelby tried hard to live up to the ambiance.
After the meal, even Madam Sheldon felt that socializing was tiring, so she left early.
In the bedroom, Meredith straddled Josiah's lap, cupped his handsome face in both hands, and
threatened, "Are you going to make the call? I'll be angry if you don't."
Meredith's action prevented Josiah from moving away from the sofa, and he smiled at her. "You look so
cute when you're angry, so I don't really mind."
"Jo-" Meredith was furious.
"Look, so cute. You look adorable and lovable." Josiah pinched her cheek, completely ignoring her
rage.
Meredith was helpless, so she could only change her way and begged coquettishly, "Josiah,
please...can you help me and call him back?"
"What's my reward?"
"What kind of reward do you want?" Meredith leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Is that okay?"
Josiah kissed her back, and his expression turned serious. "Edith, do you think this is a good idea?"
"Why not?"
"Liam has a fiancee now, and it doesn't matter if he and Ivy had anything in the past. Doing this will not
only put him in a tough spot, but it'll also make his fiancee unhappy. Do you understand?""I just want to see if Ivy likes him or you."
"So what if she likes him?"
"If she likes him, I don't think it’ll worsen the situation. Instead, I can be more confident in being with
you and help her eliminate the current predicament.”
Meredith thought and added, "But you're right. I forgot about Liam's fiancee, Miss Young."
Miss Young would definitely be unhappy if she did so.
"Listening to what you said, I kind of want to make him come back again." Josiah coughed dryly, "After
all, it’s not easy to make Miss Meredith stand by my side assuredly is not easy."
"I didn’t expect Mister Josiah to be so selfish." Meredith was annoyed and looked askance at him.
Josiah's phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Liam’s number.
Meredith quickly eavesdropped and vaguely heard him say that he had left his phone in Josiah's study.
Josiah glanced at Meredith and asked calmly, "Do you need me to find someone to deliver it to you?"
"No need. I'm not far away."
Meredith glanced at her watch. It had been twenty minutes since he was gone, so how could he not
have gone far?
Josiah threw the phone on the coffee table and said, "It seems that we don't need to think of a way
because he's coming back by himself."Twenty minutes later, Liam was once again back at the Shelby manor.
The two elders had already returned to rest. Josiah originally planned to go down to greet Liam, but he
was pulled back by Meredith.
"Wait. Help me blow dry my hair."
"You're done washing your hair? That's fast." Josiah took the hairdryer out of the cabinet and started
drying her hair.
Liam walked into the main building but did not see Josiah, so he walked toward the study on the
second floor.
As soon as he walked to the second floor, he met Ivy.
The two were instantly stunned.
Ivy hurriedly nodded at him. "Mister Liam, what brings you back?"
"I'm back to get my phone." Liam's gaze was fixed on her.
Then, he paused and taunted her, "I heard that Miss Landers is going to marry Joe on the sixth of next
month. Is that true?"
