The nicer she was to him, the more pressure he felt in his heart and the more uncomfortable it was.This kind of discomfort would not go away easily.Meredith hugged him and comforted him for a while before letting go of him. "Charlie, shall we eat the noodles first?"This time, Charlie did not refuse. He picked up the noodles and ate silently.After eating the noodles, he handed the bowl back to Meredith and said, "Meredith, next time you don't have to cook for me by yourself. You can just ask the chef to cook for me.""Well, I only do it when I have nothing to do.""Meredith, you're so busy with work now. How could you be free?" Charlie was not stupid.The company just got on the right track, it should be her busiest time.He used to be able to help her when his legs were good, but now, he could not help her. He knew that he was dragging her down.…Charlie was unwilling to accompany Meredith to participate in Nia's parent-child activities, so Meredith had to go alone.Nia
It was not until Nia's figure completely disappeared from the crowd that Meredith turned to look at Josiah and said, "Why are you here? Didn't I say that you didn't need to come?""You also agreed that Charlie would accompany you, but where is he?" Josiah looked around and asked.Meredith was speechless."Charlie still can't face the eyes of outsiders for a while, so he can't come." "I expected as much."Meredith looked at his calm expression, and said angrily, "It's your fault that Charlie has become what he is now."Josiah did not want to talk about Charlie's car accident.Besides, today was Nia's parent-child activity, and he did not want to get into trouble with Meredith before it even starts."Let's go in." Josiah took her little hand.Meredith instinctively flung his hand away.Josiah originally thought she did not want to be close to him, but after seeing the discomfort flashing on her face, he glanced at her hand unconsciously.Then he grabbed her hand and looked a
"My suggestion is that when it's Nia's turn, you use the toilet as an excuse to avoid it.""You look down on me so much?" Josiah raised his eyebrows."Of course.""I heard Nia say that you two planned to play the piano together, right? It should be okay to add one person, right?""You can play the piano?""Didn't you claim that you have liked me since you were 14 or 15 years old? I guess you don't know me well at all?""I thought you forgot how to play."Of course, she knew that he also learned the piano since he was a child, but after he focused on learning to manage the company, he never touched the piano again. After so many years, he must have forgotten how to play the piano."I can still play." Josiah was confident. "Just play the part of your right hand for me. It just so happens that you have an injury on your left hand."Meredith lowered her head and glanced at her fingers.This time, she was really hurt quite deeply, and her inflammation came back, which would affect
"What do you mean? How am I ostentatious?" Meredith was unhappy."It looks too ostentatious, and it's easy to be remembered."Although Josiah was playing the piano just now, he vaguely felt that there were several male parents in the audience looking at her, coveting her beauty. It was as if their eyes were glued to her.Meredith was speechless. She was already Charlie's wife. Even if she was worried about other guys, she was worried for Charlie. What did it have anything to do with Josiah?Besides, there were more mothers who come to participate in parent-child activities than fathers. This way, more people would remember him, so he should be worried about himself."Well then, Mister Josiah, you can go," she said.When it was Josiah and Nia's turn, the father and daughter cooperated very well at first, but Nia accidentally tripped and fell.Fortunately, Josiah moved fast enough to hold her steady, so she did not fall.However, because of this accident, they could not aim for
"Don't move." Meredith held Josiah's body, and she called the ambulance.If his waist was really broken, things will become worse if he moves."No." Josiah raised his hand to stop her from making calls. "Let's not get too dramatic. I'll just lie down.""Didn't you say your waist is broken?" Meredith looked at him. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and patted his arm. "Josiah, are you pretending to be dead with me again? Why don't you get up?"Josiah looked at her angry face and said helplessly, "Edith, am I such a rascal in your heart? All I do is pretend to be dead?""Isn't your waist broken?""Well, I don't think it's broken, but it really hurts a bit."It was a lie to say that it did not hurt when they fell several steps, especially when he was crushed by Meredith's body.Meredith thought about how he fell to save her, and she immediately showed a hint of guilt. "Why are you so stupid to run up to help me? If I fell by myself, it wouldn't be so serious."After all, she fell fac
"Your waist won't really break, right?" She looked at him and said with a serious expression, "Mister Josiah, don't force it. If you cause a second injury, you won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of your life."Josiah stared at her and suddenly asked with a smile, "If I can't get out of bed, will you come back to me?""Of course not." Meredith said angrily, "Josiah, please pay attention to your words in front of children.""Just kidding, Nia won't mind."Meredith could not do anything about him, so she shook her head. "Forget it, I'll take you to the hospital for a check first."Helping him to the car, Meredith first asked Walter to take her and Josiah to the hospital, and then asked Walter to take Nia home.The little girl looked at Daddy worriedly.Josiah smiled at her and said, "Nia, don't worry, Daddy is fine."Although his back was aching, Josiah felt that the pain was worth it when he was able to get along with Meredith.That was right, today's Mister Josiah wa
"..." Meredith felt that he was being ridiculous, but after thinking about it, he could live there if he wanted to. It had nothing to do with her.She carried out the admission operation for him and accompanied him to the inpatient department to settle down.Josiah watched her as she worked on him, and the corners of his lips curved into a shallow arc. She had not cared for him like this for a long time.However, when he thought of how she cared about Charlie every day, the curvature of the corners of her lips immediately faded.Especially after hearing the knock on the door and Mister Wesley's voice, his face could be said to be close to ugly.As soon as Mister Wesley came in, he looked at Josiah on the bed with concern, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Mister Josiah? Why are you so careless? Are you seriously injured?"Josiah stared at him coldly. "What are you here for?""I..." Mister Wesley said dumbly.Why did he ask such a question? As Mister Josiah's assistant, he shou
Josiah was speechless.He just did not want to let her go back to another man, not at all.However, he could not find a suitable reason to keep her by his side.In the end, he nodded. "Meredith, go if you want."Meredith turned around and left.She could not give him hope because of a moment of soft-heartedness. She did not want to hurt Charlie.When it broke, it remains broken. This is what she had always thought.When Meredith returned home, Wilma, the servant, just came out of Charlie's room. The food she was holding in her hand had not even been touched.Before she could ask, Wilma took the initiative to say, "Ma'am, Mister Charlie refuses to eat.""Let me do it." Meredith took the long plate in her hand and walked toward Charlie's bedroom.Charlie was watching something on his phone. Meredith glanced at the screen inadvertently and found that the content on it was the parent-child activities of Nia's school.Her heart twitched slightly, and she pretended to be okay and
