Chapter 795
Clearly, Charlie was tired from the tantrum he threw.
Afraid that he would flare up once more, Meredith stayed by his side. It was until midnight when she finally saw Charlie fall asleep. She finally let out a sigh of relief. The next day, when Charlie woke up, he no longer threw a fit. He merely silently looked at the ceiling. Meredith could see that he was defeated by his crippled legs, but this situation was not any better than throwing a fit.
After all, at least if he was throwing a fit, he could release his emotions. Meredith served him the breakfast she prepared. She said gently, “Charlie, you must be starving. Let’s have breakfast.”
Charlie ignored her. He merely looked at the ceiling with a hollow gaze. “Charlie, I haven’t had my breakfast either,” Meredith said with a smile, “I remember what you said before, that you’ll have breakfast with me every day. Are you planning on reneging your promise so quickly?” Charlie’s eyes finally moved a little, but they still did not have any sparkle of light in it.
“Meredith, go look for someone else. Find a man more brilliant than me and who isn’t crippled to have breakfast with you.”
Meredith was speechless. Her heart constricted tightly. The thing that she was most afraid of was that he gave up on himself. “So, we just got married and you’re dumping me, huh?” Meredith pretended to be angry and said, “Charlie, don’t you think this is even crueler than Josiah standing me up on our wedding day?”
Charlie was at a loss for words.
“Or are you planning to get me back together with Josiah? For him to hurt me once more?”
