Chapter 767
Meredith scoffed coldly, “Plus, we still don’t know if Nia recognizes him.”
Charlie was slightly relieved at Meredith’s response.
“I’m glad that you’re able to think like that. I’m just worried that you’d be affected and manipulated by him like how it was back then.”
“It won’t happen again,” Meredith smiled bitterly, patted his shoulders, and said, “I am already twenty-seven this year. I am not that helpless and weak person that I was years ago, the one who only knew how to get on her knees to cry and beg.”
“And me too,” Charlie smiled and went on, “I went from not ineligible to get married to being eligible to get married.”
“Congratulations. You’re finally able to marry the person that you like.”
“While we’re on this topic, so, the person that I like, when are you planning to get married to
me?”
“Whenever is fine.”
“Really?” Charlie sat up straight immediately. With a surprised look on his face, he asked,” Edith, I’m not hearing things, am I? Did you just say that we can get married whenever? Or is this just a dream?”
Grabbing Meredith’s hand in his, he said, “Edith, slap me so that I can make sure that this is real.”
Laughing, Meredith pinched his cheek lightly and said, “How could I bring myself to slap you? But I can assure you that this is not a dream.”
“This is really happening!”
Charlie got up onto his feet abruptly and started running around the living room excitedly. He came to a halt in front of Meredith, held her hands in his, and said, “Edith, let’s go register our marriage tomorrow! Let’s do it tomorrow!”
