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
"No. I was looking at Nia," Meredith answered.There was no huge emotional change for Charlie but he spoke very plainly, "I'm sure you must be yearning to go celebrate Christmas with them.""No…" Meredith said."It's normal that you wish to go. No one would prefer to stay at home to accompany a crippled," Charlie said."Does it please you to always be in such a negative mood every day?" Meredith sighed helplessly, "How are you ever going to get better in this way?"Meredith continued to talk while holding Charlie's hand. "Alright. Stop putting those foolish ideas in your head. It's Christmas day today. What about we have turkey for dinner tonight?""You should celebrate Christmas with them. I don't want to get in the way," Charlie insisted."Charlie, I never thought of you that way," Meredith refuted."But the way you look at Josiah just shows how much you are missing him." Charlie could not stop his thoughts from coming out of his mouth."Charlie Larson! You…" Meredith was lo
Meredith was mentally tired. She longed for her freedom. Nevertheless, it did not mean that she wanted to be away from Charlie like now. What she yearned the most was to change Charlie with her sincerity and kindness so Charlie could get better soon.The longer she was in that environment, the more she missed the old Charlie who had always been very positive and caring for her with a smile all the time. Too bad, she did not think she would ever see that Charlie anymore.Although she was facing the sunset, she did not feel any warmth from it. The Christmas caroling on the street did not help to ease her bad mood too. When the wind came blowing, she was so cold that her body started to shiver. She looked at her body and only realized that she was not wearing her trench coat. No wonder she felt so cold.Due to the festive season, the street was very happening. Most of the crowd were walking in pairs. Meredith used both of her hands to rub her arms and walked slowly among the crowd. She
