Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 1255

"Are you really thinking of going?

"I thought you wanted to know what's going on with Ivy? Shouldn't we make sure to follow it through?"

"What do you mean?"

"Ivy asked US to pick her up once we're done with the musical show." Josiah paused and then added, "But it's

more convenient for her to take the cab or call one of my drivers to pick her up, isn't it? Why would she insist

on coming home with US? And see the both of US being intimate?"

"You've got a point there!" Meredith started getting curious again. "Why would she insist on coming home with

us instead of going home alone?"

"If you're right, Meredith, Ivy doesn't really want to get married to me. She was just being forced by my mother,

" Josiah went on, "and it was my mother’s idea that we visit Ivy's parents together. Ivy is worried that she

would be scolded by my mother if she went home alone. IF

"I get it now. She was worried that Mrs. Shelby would be upset at her for not using the opportunity to spend

time with you, and instead, she went out on her own."

"Yeah."

Meredith inhaled sharply. "If that is true. I was right that Ivy had no intention of getting married to you."

"And? You’re happy, aren’t you?" Josiah raised one of his brows.

Looking at him, Meredith teased him on purpose, "No. I just feel bad for you all of a sudden."

"Why is that?"

"I didn't expect that there would be someone who doesn't want you."

Josiah was dumbfounded at her response.

After a round of teasing, Josiah got quiet all of a sudden.

He was reminded of his time with Ivy. If she really did not love him, why would she come back to the country just to have his child?

And who was the little girl that she was searching for?

In the end, he too was drowned in the sea of doubts, just like Meredith.

"Let's go. We'll talk about this after the show." Meredith tugged at his sleeve.

"Let's have lunch first. There’s still some time left before the show starts."

’’Ah, okay."

Josiah had Walter drive them to a restaurant that was nearby.

After lunch, the both of them went to watch the musical show.

Three hours passed after the musical show ended.

Meredith made a call to Ivy and after a while, Ivy's voice was heard from the other end of the phone, "Meredith, are you guys done with the show?"

"Yes, it just ended. Where are you, Miss Ivy? We'll come to pick you up now."

"I'll be waiting at the Riverside Garden."

"Alright. We'll head over now." Meredith then ended the call.

When the car pulled over at the Riverside Garden, they noticed Ivy who was sitting on a bench. She was

sitting there quietly and seemed as if she was lost in her thoughts.

She did not even notice the few youngsters that were fooling around her.

Seeing how Ivy was not responding, they thought that she was mentally ill. And one of the guys pushed

further and reached out his hand, wanting to touch Ivy's chest.

But before the guy's hand could even reach Ivy, his arm was broken by Josiah.

The guy let out a painful shriek as he quivered in fear, holding his broken arm.

"Get the hell out of here!" Josiah then threw him back to his group of friends.

The other guys in the group wanted to attack Josiah but they were all intimidated by Josiah and ran away in

the end.

It was then Ivy finally came back to her senses. She looked at Josiah, smiled, and said, "Joe, you're here." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

It was as if she really did not realize what was about to happen earlier.

Looking back at Ivy, Josiah asked, "Shouldn't you at least defend yourself?"

She did not care to fight back or neither was she scared. Ivy was not like those weak and helpless girls.
