Chapter 681
“Uh…Charlie,” Mary turced on her son and said, “although your cousin and his wife got divorced, they are together now after all. They even have a daughter. Don’t disturb them.” Charlie retorted, “It’s not like I can’t raise Nia up.”
“Do you think I’ll let my daughter acknowledge other people as her father?” Josiah looked at Charlie coldly. “I think she should still call you uncle. That seems more like it.”
Although Josiah’s expressions were cold, Charlie was never afraid of him. He snatched Meredith’s hand from Josiah’s. “As long as Meredith is willing to marry me, Nia could call me daddy.”
Meredith was extremely speechless being in between them. Mary’s head hurt too. Out of desperation, she could only ask Old Madam Shelby for help, “Mom, say something.” Then only Old Madam Shelby pulled Meredith to the side and said, “Charlie is right. Meredith is single right now. Everyone has the right to pursue her. But I’m warning you two, fighting over Meredith is one thing. Don’t cross the line.”
Josiah said, “Grandma!”
Mary said, “Mom!”
They said in almost unison.
“Grandma, have you forgotten that you were the one who forced me to marry Meredith back then? Now, we’re living well as a family and you’re breaking us up? Isn’t that inappropriate?”
“Yes, mom. Don’t you find it messy enough? How could you say such a thing?” Without mentioning whether she liked Meredith or not, Mary could not accept the two cousins fighting over the same woman.
Old Madam Shelby looked at Josiah with a gaze that seemed to say he deserved it.
“That’s right. It’s because I was stupid enough to force you to marry Meredith, which made you make all the mistakes after that, so I’m not forcing you right now. I’ll respect your choice. Shouldn’t you be happy about it?”
