The hospital that she was working at was just right in front of them.Josiah took a glance outside the car and before getting down from the car, he said, "Don't get breakfast for people like that, okay?"After parking her car in the parking lot, Meredith was hesitating if she should get breakfast for Charlie.She was hesitating not because of what Josiah had said, but because she was worried that Charlie might misunderstand her intentions.But at the thought that he had no family or friends around, Meredith decided to bring him breakfast in the end.Just as she expected, Charlie had misunderstood her intentions. "I knew that you would not leave me alone."He smelled the breakfast that Meredith had given him and said, "Mm…this smells amazing! Don't tell me that you prepared this?""Do you really think that I would do that?" Meredith pointed at the paper box and said, "Can't you read the name of the breakfast place printed on the box?""Even if it's not prepared by you, it tastes
Feeling speechless, Meredith replied, [I thought you weren't able to be in contact with your family?]Charlie responded, [Hehe. I was able to reach them because I have a girlfriend now.]Meredith thought that Charlie was simply impossible.Shaking her head, Meredith put away her phone in her pocket.During noon time, Meredith received Charlie's text asking her to help get him lunch.Meredith replied with a cold message, [Get help from your family or order take-outs.]After sending the message, she then shut off her phone.…Charlie was discharged from the hospital after being hospitalized for four days.Before he left the hospital, he looked for Meredith and dragged her to the fire exit staircase.Feeling anxious, Meredith asked, "Charlie Larson, what do you think you're doing? People are going to judge if they see us together.""I'm really sorry," Charlie let go of his grip around her wrist immediately and explained, "I was worried that people would see us and would affect
With no other choice, Meredith had to explain herself. "Doctor Halsey, you're mistaken. Mister Charlie and I are just friends.""Oh really? Just friends huh," Halsey nodded but the expression on her face said otherwise.Meredith knew that Halsey was not convinced but she did not care anymore.After work, Meredith was changing in the locker room.Halsey left her office and when she was in the parking lot, a black Rolls-Royce caught her attention.To be exact, it was the man who was leaning lazily against the car who caught her attention.The man was tall and good-looking, exuding sophisticated vibes. The first thing that came to Hasley's mind was that the man must be some sort of celebrity or model.Even though she knew that she would not stand a chance with him, Halsey still fixed her attire and her hair before approaching the man."Hey good-looking, may I know…"Before she could even finish her sentence, Josiah cut her off abruptly, "I am here to pick up my wife.""..." Just
"What did you have to do? Go on a date with your patient?""..."Meredith was slightly stunned. Feeling incredulous that she was accused of something that she did not do, Meredith seethed, "Josiah Shelby, what kind of nonsense is this?""Is it nonsense though?"Meredith suddenly felt a strong presence behind her. Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist, and she was turned around and pushed against a car.Meredith was first shocked. But at the sight of Josiah, rage gripped her and she pushed him annoyedly. "What are you doing? You scared me!"Josiah stood close to her and studied her. "Meredith Leighton, you've only started working for a week, right? I heard that someone is already attracted to you? And he even wants to marry you?"Meredith was stunned. Looking at him, she asked, "What are you talking about?""Tell me, who is that guy? Is he the one that is calling you Miss Witch and wants you to bring him breakfast?""..." Meredith was suddenly at loss for words.Ho
However…"How did my colleague know that you're my husband?" Meredith studied him and she suddenly had a bad feeling. "Josiah, don't tell me that you introduced yourself to her as my husband."Josiah cleared his throat awkwardly, "I didn't want to say anything but that colleague of yours was flirting with me. So I can only tell her that you're my wife."To be fair, Meredith found his excuse reasonable.Even though Josiah was cold and ruthless, he was good-looking and he went around driving in such an expensive car. Of course, women would want to flirt with him.But still, she scolded, "Can't you come up with another excuse? Well, the least that you could do was not bring up my name, right?""But I don't know anyone else who is working there. So I could only mention your name.""How am I supposed to work here now that she knows about our relationship?" Freaking out, Meredith glared at him and asked, "Tell me, did she figure out who you are? And…""She didn't," Josiah patted her
"You sent it for repair?" Meredith mumbled softly under her breath, looking dazed."Yes." Noticing how pale she looked, Josiah was confused. "What's the matter? Why are you looking for it so desperately?"Meredith ignored his question but instead, she glared furiously at him. "Who asked you to send it for repair? How could it be fixed when it's already broken?""Don't worry. It can be fixed.""Even if it's fixed, it's not the same anymore!" With rage welling up inside of her, Meredith started hitting him. "You bastard! It's all your fault! Why did you break it? Give me back my hairpin!"Josiah simply allowed her to vent her anger on him.The hairpin cost only about a hundred thousand dollars and of course, Josiah was able to afford to pay her back. But he knew that she did not want his money, Meredith wanted the hairpin that she got from her mother.And it was something that would be hard to accomplish."Josiah Shelby, give me back the hairpin!" Meredith asked for the hairpin.
"Ma'am, you're asking about Sir and Nia, yes? Josiah's grandmother called this morning and said that she misses Nia. So she had Josiah bring Nia to visit her.""I see.""Yes, Ma'am," Lily then went on, "Sir did mention that if you wish to join them at the old residence, we can have Walter drive you there.""It's okay."The old residence was where the Shelby family previously stayed. Ever since Josiah moved into this mansion, no one stayed there anymore.But Josiah's grandmother would stay there whenever she visited Jehovah City.Meredith spent her time reading books and drawing. Time passed really fast.Josiah and Nia came home around the evening.They even brought home some desserts for Meredith."Mommy, look, Aunt Penny made these cookies herself. Here, try some," Nia said.Meredith saw how Nia was excited and she did not want to upset her so she took a bite of the cookie. "Mm, it tastes amazing. Thanks, darling.""Nia, it's getting late now. Let's go take a shower, shall
"Miss Witch, what book are you reading?" He sat down in front of her and flipped the book in Meredith's hands. "Drugs? I thought you're running some clinical trials?""I was just simply flipping through the book." Looking at him, she asked, "Should we leave now?""There's no rush. If you want to read more, I can stay here with you.""It's okay. I was just reading it to pass time." Meredith got up from the chair and said, "Come on, let's go now.""Okay."Both of them got into a car.The car took a turn at a junction that led them to a residential area filled with bungalows and mansions.Meredith guessed that Charlie might have come from a rich background, seeing how he was staying in such an expensive neighborhood.And the more that she could not understand why someone like Charlie would be interested in a woman with a disfigured face like her."Charlie Larson, can I ask you something?""What is it, Miss Witch?""Have you liked any girls before?"Hesitating, Charlie shook he
