Seeing how the elderly were not saying anything, Charlie started to get anxious. "Mom, Grandma, Edith, and I have already been together for two years and we both want to get married to each other. What is there to be hesitant about?"Meredith wanted to get married to Charlie too…?That was the first thing that Josiah heard when he walked into the house.He tightened his grip on Nia's hands as his face darkened.Josiah's grandmother cleared her throat and said, "If you guys are doing this willingly, of course, I won't have any objections."Charlie then turned to look at his mother."Um…it's not that I don't approve of this marriage but Meredith is after all your cousin's ex-wife, shouldn't you at least consider how Josiah would think about this?"At the same time, she tried to give an eye to Charlie that Josiah was just standing behind him.Charlie, on the other hand, responded, "He was the one who hurt Meredith over and over again and he was also the one who didn't want Meredit
Nia was indeed happy most of the days because she was showered with love from both Charlie and Meredith."What's the most important thing in life? To live every healthily and happily, right?""Yes." Nia nodded her head."So, will you be able to not be bothered by why Daddy and Mommy are not staying together?""Okay," Nia then said to Josiah, "Daddy, I forgive you and I don't blame you for not coming to visit me for such a long time."With a gloomy expression, Josiah looked at Nia with a gloomy expression on his face.So was he eliminated just like that?"But I'm not happy. I want to live together with you and Mommy.""Daddy is just joking with you, Nia," Meredith went on, "your dad is able to spend every day with his loved one, so he is happy every day."She then shot a glare at Josiah, warning him to watch his words.Even though Josiah kept his mouth shut in front of Nia, he leaned toward Meredith and whispered into her ear, "Don't accuse me of things that I didn't do in fr
"Meredith, there's something that I need to say to you," Josiah stared at her and said.Meredith though rejected her coldly, "I've said I needed to say last night, and as for the rest…""I haven't finished saying what I needed to say last night." Josiah grabbed her by her wrist and dragged her with him as he walked out the door.With her back pushed back against the wall, Meredith stared at her coldly and seethed, "Josiah Shelby, stop being such a domineering ass*hole. You're just being lame."Josiah shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I have no plans of forcing myself onto you. I just want to talk to you about me and Yena.""I've already made it clear that I don't want to hear about your old love story!" At the mention of Yena, Meredith felt anger rush through her."Fine, let me rephrase that. I want to talk to you about our past.""Our past is filled only with pain and suffering, what is there to talk about?" Meredith turned her head sideways, avoiding his gaze."Edith, I'
She removed herself from his grasp and returned to the house.Behind her stood Josiah, left in a daze as his hands slowly tightened into a fist.With a loud thud, Josiah punched his hand against the wall.…It was a fair weather day. The warm sunlight shone through the windows and landed on the marriage certificate in the hands of one of the staff from the city hall."I hope you have a blessed marriage," The staff handed the marriage certificate to the newlyweds.Meredith and Charlie exchanged a look with each other, pulled into a smile, and received the marriage certificate. "Thank you."Printed on the marriage certificate printed were both of their pictures.Even when they walked out of the city hall, Charlie still found it hard to believe that he was married to Meredith."Edith, I am not seeing things, am I? That is you and me in the picture, right?" Charlie put the picture close to his eyes.Meredith nodded and smiled. "It is us, you silly. Don't tell me that you're alrea
In a loving voice, Josiah's grandmother corrected Nia, "Don't you remember him, Nia? He is your Daddy. Why did you call him uncle?""Oh, you're right," Nia paused before responding, "but if I call this nice uncle Daddy, then I would end up having two Daddies, right?"Feeling frustrated about the entire situation in her family, Josiah's grandmother slapped her forehead.With a smile, Josiah walked over to them and explained, "Uncle Charlie is just an uncle, he is not your Daddy. It will be a mess if you call Uncle Charlie your Daddy.""Is it true, great-grandma?" Nia asked Josiah's grandmother.Josiah's grandmother nodded. "Mm, your Daddy's right."It was only then Nia greeted Josiah 'Daddy'.Josiah finally felt a sense of relief upon hearing Nia calling him Daddy.He stroked Nia's hair gently and asked, "Where's Mommy? Didn't she come with you to visit great-grandma?""She's not here. Mommy and Uncle Charlie went out for a meal together," Nia replied.Josiah's grandmother add
"Of course, if not who else?" Meredith thought that it was silly of him. "It's already been more than 24 hours and you're still not used to it?"Charlie shook his head. "No…it's like I'm in a dream."Meredith lowered her head and gave a light peck on his lips. "What about now? Do you still think it's a dream?"Charlie was stunned by her sudden kiss. He was now staring at her dazedly.Meredith could not help but slip out a chuckle at the sight of Charlie's adorable reaction. She tapped his cheeks lightly and said, "Earth to Charlie, wake up now. Let's go home and get some rest."Charlie then sat up straight. After a pause, he asked, "Edtih, this will be our first night together right?""Mm-hmm. So do you want our first night to be spent here?""No, absolutely not," Charlie shook his head frantically and said, "I've promised…that I will make you the happiest girl in this world. How would I possibly allow you to spend a night at such a place?""Let's go home then, hmm?""Okay."
After some time, Charlie's mother, with the help of her servants, staggered and stumbled into the hallway of the ER. At the sight of Meredith, she grabbed Meredith by her arms and cried, "Why is my son suddenly in an accident? How is he? Is his life in danger?"Meredith could answer neither of her questions because she, too, did not know for herself."I'm really sorry, ma'am…I mean, Mom. I don't know what is going on too. I am also waiting for the doctor."Meredith thought that there was something fishy about the crash earlier. It was as if the car was driving directly at them, on purpose.But all she could think about was Charlie and she did not have the energy to think about the car crash earlier.The doctor finally walked out of the surgery room and scanned both of them. "Are you both the patient's family?""Yes, I am his mother," Charlie's mother replied urgently."I am his wife," Meredith replied.The doctor nodded and with a serious expression on his face, he said, "The p
How could a mentally unstable person drive around at night? This had to be done deliberately!Meredith suddenly thought about Zade Brooks. Back then, because of her, Josiah found someone to cripple him.At that moment, Charlie had the same fate. This had to be Josiah's doing!Meredith left the hospital and rushed over to Josiah's mansion. Seeing her return, Lily was surprised and delighted. She pulled Meredith over to ask about her.The moment she finished asking, Lily realized Meredith's expression was not right. She immediately asked concernedly, "Ma'am, what happened? Why does it looks like you have just cried?""Where's Josiah?" Meredith asked."He is upstairs with Nia in bed, but at this time, Nia should be asleep already.""Nia is here?" Meredith asked again.Old Madam Shelby called that day to say that she missed Nia and asked Meredith to send Nia to the old house so that she could play with her.Meredith thought about how she and Charlie had no time to be with Nia that
