Chapter 857
But she did not want to start getting suspicious of Charlie just like how she did toward Josiah.
Hence, before Josiah’s grandmother said anything further, Meredith smiled and reassured her, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Charlie only resented Josiah because of me. But now that I’m married to him, I don’t think there’s any other reason for Charlie to not like Josiah.”
“You haven’t been in contact with Joe recently, have you?” Josiah’s grandmother asked.
“Rarely.” Meredith felt slightly guilty.
Even though she had not been in contact with Josiah, Josiah was the one who was concerned about her and he was also the one who stayed with her at the hospital whenever she got ill.
But Charlie knew nothing about these.
Leaving the house, Meredith and Charlie sat side by side at the back of the car.
Because it was New Year’s Eve, the roads were crowded and lively. The colorful street lights would occasionally be reflected into the car.
Charlie looked as if he was tired with his back leaned against the car seat and his eyes closed.
Meredith stole a glance at him as she recalled her conversation with Josiah’s grandmother earlier.
She wondered if Charlie was really behind Josiah’s accident.
But the Charlie that she knew was not the cruel and ruthless type of person.
Even though he had been losing his temper because of his legs and he had hurt her, Charlie would regret what he had done and would also apologize to her.
“Aren’t you tired, Edith?” Charlie asked, all of a sudden.
Meredith came back to her senses and broke away her gaze on Charlie. “Not really. What about you?”
“Slightly.”
Meredith held his hand and said, “We’ll be home soon.”
“Mm.”
Meredith tried to start another conversation to fill the silence. “With Nia at your grandma’s place, our home is suddenly quiet.”
