Meredith had put it so seriously and sincerely. It was clear to please him. Although Charlie was moved by it, he could not hear her intentions.He turned around and looked at her. He asked, "Meredith, do you love me?" "Of course, if not why would I marry you?""Isn't it because I have helped you a lot and pursued you for a long time?""Of course, not." Meredith shook her head. She held his hand. "Charlie, why would you have such thoughts? If I don't love you yet marry you, this isn't repaying you. This is biting the hand that fed me, you understand?""I don't," Charlie said."Marriage is a matter of a lifetime. If I don't love you yet marry you, this is an irresponsible way of doing things. I won't be so selfish."Charlie looked at her. His eyes reddened a little."Since I have fallen in love with you and married you, I will never leave you for the rest of my life. Unless you fall in love with another woman like Josiah." Meredith squeezed his hand tightly. "So, please don't ch
The caretaker did not know their relationship. She smiled and said, "Mister Larson, your wife has such a good temper. No matter how you make a fuss, she just smiles."Hearing what the caretaker said, Charlie could not help but think back to when Meredith was with Josiah and the number of things she had to bear because of Nia.This was her character. She was extremely kind.Although Charlie had calmed down for the next few days, he seemed to have become a changed person.He became a sensitive person with low self-esteem. Meredith had to tiptoe around him when she talked to him. She was afraid that she would accidentally poke him where it hurt.Charlie in this way broke her heart, yet she was helpless about it. She could only carefully stay with him.That day, Meredith was stuck in traffic. When she reached the hospital, it was almost seven in the evening.She apologized while entering, "I'm sorry I'm late. You must be famished."Charlie looked at the travel-worn Meredith. He cou
Then, she took out a band-aid from the drawer.Charlie lowered his head dejectedly. "I never thought I would be so useless. I can't even help you with something as simple as your cut.""Charlie, don't say that. Once your leg recovers, you'll be able to move more freely." Meredith passed him the band-aid."Come, help me with it."Charlie accepted the band-aid and carefully wrapped it around her wound.Meredith took the opportunity to explain, "When I sent Nia to Josiah's mansion, I realized I forgot to take bowls, so I got Lily to lend me two bowls."Charlie was speechless."Lily said that Josiah had an important meeting that night. He hasn't got off work yet."Charlie held her hand apologetically. "Meredith, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you.""It's fine. As long as you don't overthink this." Meredith secretly let out a sigh of relief.Meredith was in the hospital with Charlie for the entire night. The next day, she had breakfast with him before leaving for the office.
That was the first time that Josiah gave her juice, but he was actually there to kill her child.The impression was so deep that she was frightened when she saw him bringing her juice."What's wrong?" Josiah saw that something was off, and he asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?""No." She shook her head. She stared at the juice and said, "Do you remember the last time you brought me freshly squeezed juice?"Josiah did not expect that she would ask such a question. He was taken aback.Usually, he would never serve her juice. So, he naturally remembered that time."I remember." Josiah nodded and admitted, "Edith, I remember all those things, but I hope you can forget them.""I want to forget it too, but unfortunately..." She shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Forget it, let's not mention it, let's get down to business."Josiah sat down opposite her and pushed the juice in front of her again. "Edith, there is no poison in this glass of juice, you can drink it.""No, I'
Meredith turned and walked toward the elevator.While waiting for the elevator, she saw Josiah standing behind her from the mirror on the door panel. She stared at him suspiciously and asked, "Mister Josiah, is there anything else I can do for you?""Not really. I'll take you downstairs." "No need.""I want to walk you to your car," Josiah insisted.Meredith knew that she could not persuade him, so she did not bother to talk to him.It was not until he brought her to the car that he stopped. Josiah watched her get in the car and fastened her seat belt. Finally, he said, "Be careful on the road."Meredith did not even know how to respond to him.Should she give him a cold look, or wave goodbye to him?In the end, she said, "Mister Josiah, we don't have to be like this."She has said this many times, but Josiah still adhered to his own principles. He did not force her to do anything, but he also did not give up on her.…Charlie was discharged from the hospital after stayin
Nia finally felt relieved.Even at a young age, Nia could see that Papa Charlie had become different from before.Meredith gave Charlie and Nia a piece of chicken drumsticks each. Nia took a bite and nodded in praise. "Mommy's chicken drumsticks are still as delicious as ever. What do you think, Papa Charlie?"During this period of time, Charlie had no appetite to eat at all. Anything that came into his mouth would be tasteless.However, looking at Nia's sunny face, he praised, "It's delicious."Meredith smiled and said, "It's delicious and I'll make it for you next time."She put a piece of fish in Charlie's bowl. "Charlie, this is my new dish."Charlie nodded in agreement.After eating for a while, Meredith asked Nia, "Does Nia have any study plans today?""I have to do my homework, read extracurricular books, and practice the piano." Nia suddenly turned to Charlie. "Papa Charlie, I still prefer the drum, can you continue to teach me?"Charlie thought about it and nodded. "
Meredith was startled by his actions and hurriedly grabbed his palm. "Charlie, what are you doing?""I always seem to be causing trouble for you. I'm so useless." Charlie grabbed her bleeding finger and said distressedly, "Meredith, you must be in pain, right? Can you leave me alone next time? ""I'm your wife, so of course, I care about you." Meredith raised her hand and rubbed his handsome face. "Okay, don't blame yourself, it's just a minor injury.""I'm going to find the medicine box." Charlie immediately rolled his wheelchair and moved toward the cabinet. "Wait a moment!"Meredith could not stop him in time. The wheelchair slammed into the sofa and Charlie fell to the ground immediately.He groaned, and he broke out in cold sweat from the pain."Ah, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Meredith hurriedly squatted down to help him, but because of his extreme uncooperativeness, she could not help him.Charlie was lying on the ground, her body trembling slightly.Meredith final
"Mommy, are you awake?""Yes. Good morning, Nia." After saying hello to Nia, Meredith said anxiously to Charlie, "Charlie, why did you get up and run out by yourself? What if you fall down?""I have to try to take care of myself." Charlie said, "It's impossible to be like a parasite all the time, asking for help from others.""You're right, but you can't be too hasty." Meredith persuaded worriedly, "It would be bad if you fall and hurt yourself again.""Can it hurt more than it does now?" Charlie smiled bitterly. "So, it doesn't matter."When Meredith heard his dejected words, she could not help feeling a little sad.He kept saying that he would try his best to get better, but it was very difficult for him to do so.However, thinking about it, she could not blame him. After all, it was difficult for anyone to accept such a huge change."Did Grandma call you just now?" Charlie asked."Yes, Grandma asked us to go back to the old house for dinner tonight, do you want to go?""No
