Seeing that he was getting more and more overboard with his words, Meredith anxiously shouted, "Josiah, just shut up!"Josiah glanced at Meredith, who was exasperated, and continued, "I remembered when you were fighting Edith with me back then, you've shamelessly said that as long as Edith was not happy, you would never give up on her. I'll return this line to you today…"With a loud slap, Meredith raised her hand and slapped Josiah across the face."I'm warning you again, Josiah. I don't need you to meddle in my business. No matter how Charlie and I are, it's none of your business!""None of my business?" Josiah was slapped by her, but he did not get angry at all.Instead, he looked at the wound on her face. "Is it after you've been beaten to death by Charlie someday and Nia no longer has a mother that it would be my business?""Even then it's none of your business!" Meredith gritted her teeth. "In comparison to the harm that Mister Josiah has caused me back then, this bit of in
Meredith quietly let out a sigh of relief. However, she got anxious again very soon.Josiah was gone, but Charlie was still here, and he was the hardest to deal with.She was still thinking of what she should do next when she already heard some motions behind her.She turned around and saw that Charlie was wheeling his wheelchair toward the cabinet by himself.Meredith hurried over, held his arm, and said, "Charlie, what do you want to do? I'll help you."Charlie stopped in his tracks for a little and then raised his gaze to look at her.There was no more anger in his eyes anymore, but they looked so complicated that it was slightly hard for her to understand.She hurriedly said, "Charlie, don't listen to that crazy man's nonsense. He was the one who deliberately got someone to take those photos, I…""Did he say anything wrong?" Charlie asked her in return."..." Meredith was helpless. "But I'm really not what he said. Everything that I did was sincere, and I did them willingl
How did Charlie know that Josiah got someone to knock him over and injure him? Was it just a guess?"Charlie…" She asked with hesitation, "who told you that Josiah got someone to run you over?""Did you investigate it as well?""..." Meredith quickly said, "I indeed had looked into it, but that person only said that he was urged by someone else, and he can't tell who it was.""I grew up abroad since childhood. I don't even have many friends in Jehovah City. How could I have an enemy who holds such a deep grudge against me?" Charlie curled his lips. "Other than Josiah, there won't be another person anymore."Meredith had always felt that it was Josiah's doings, but when she heard Charlie saying that, she actually could not help but want to defend Josiah a little.Perhaps it was because she did not hope that Charlie and Josiah would have a grudge against each other and harm each other.After all, one of them was her husband and the other was Nia's father…She said with hesitation
"Look, Mrs. Larson," Wima held the envelope up for her to see."Thank you." Meredith simply took a glance and she actually noticed that the handwriting on it was a little familiar.She took over the envelope with suspicion and carefully identified the handwriting on it again.She noticed that the handwriting looked very similar to Yena's.Yena's handwriting was not pretty and was easily slanted. Therefore, she had a deeper impression of it.Were the photos sent by Yena? That made no sense at all.Meredith had been married to Charlie, and she would not be fighting with Yena for Josiah anymore, so Yena should be happy. Why would she send these kinds of photos to Charlie to drive a wedge between Charlie and her?Would she not be worried that Meredith would return to Josiah's side again after she got a divorce from Charlie?When Meredith held on to this suspicion and went to look for Yena, she was cleaning a table at a cafe.Yena was first slightly stunned when she saw her, and th
Meredith stared at her. "There's also something that you have to get it straight. You've become a hated person not because I've made you one but you brought it on yourself. However, all of the harm that I endured was led by your participation."Lastly, I didn't get you this job to humiliate you. Instead, it's because you liked to make desserts! I wanted to let you learn and work hard, and then give this shop to you for you to manage."As soon as she said that, Yena burst out laughing.She looked askance at Meredith as if she had said something wildly ridiculous. "Meredith, I heard you right, didn't I? You were just criticizing me for how I've harmed you earlier, but you said you want to help me and give this shop to me after that. Are you a living saint, or have you already reached a level where you can lie through your teeth without even batting an eyelid?""..." Meredith was speechless.She did not intend to tell Yena about her relationship with Qira. After all, Yena had nothing
This was good as well.This woman did not have the right to the Qira's sister at all."You don't have the right to ask about her," Meredith said without any expression, "in short, just remember, I won't hold you accountable anymore not because I'm weak, and not because I am kind as well. Therefore, I hope this won't happen again."If she was not so vicious and selfish, Meredith was very willing to help her live comfortably.However, the woman in front of her…Meredith decided to just forget it and just start off with a clean slate from then on.She turned around and was about to leave, but Yena suddenly got up from the floor and said, "Meredith, you've slapped me twice just now, and I won't just let it go. I'll make you pay for it one day.""..." Meredith did not even turn her head around and just simply said, "You're impertinent!"She finally understood why this woman wanted to send those photos to Charlie. She clearly did not want Meredith and Josiah to be happy.Perhaps it
Meredith felt a little helpless and sighed secretly.She never expected that Charlie would become so sensitive and would suspect that she was together with Josiah at the slightest movement.Perhaps it was because of the photos, so she could not blame him as well."I've told Josiah earlier that I would be responsible to pick up Nia from now on. I was busier today, so I asked Wilma to pick her up."She walked toward him and handed the sunflowers in her hand to him. "Charlie, I've just got this for you on the way home after work."In the past, if Meredith gave him flowers, Charlie would be so happy that he could fly. However, at that moment, he started suspecting her motivations instead."Why did you suddenly give me flowers?" The way he looked at her was as if he was asking her why she bought him flowers if her conscience was clear.Meredith was a little hurt and smiled. "Charlie, didn't I occasionally buy you flowers as well when we were abroad? I bought them when I thought of it
"Let's make something handmade for Papa Charlie," Nia said."Okay. We can also go out for dinner," Meredith suggested."Okay!" Nia agreed."Deal. Hurry up and finish your homework," Meredith urged.She planned to have a family dinner on Christmas Day but she was afraid that Charlie would refuse to go out. On Christmas Day, she finally asked, "Charlie, it's Christmas Day today. Why don't we go out and have dinner together with Nia?"As expected, Charlie rejected the suggestion, "Why do we need to eat out? Can't we just eat at home?""There's more fun eating out and the environment is more happening too," Meredith explained with a light smile, "Kids always prefer happening places. We used to eat out too, didn't we?""That was before I got stuck in this wheelchair. It's a whole different story now," Charlie said lightly.Meredith tried to persuade him to change his mind patiently, "Charlie, it has been a long time since then. You should try going out for some fresh air. Or else, y
