Chapter 31 It Was Never My Idea
‘Jameson stole the ring and took the liberty of proposing to you with it. That was never my idea.’ After a long deliberation, Pierre finally made up his mind to send Meredith the message.
Although his frankness would definitely break the lady’s heart in a cruel way, he still figured that telling her the truth was the better way to deal with this mess since he knew he was a terrible liar.
The man then continued to sit in his car and smoked while brooding on the matter in a preoccupied manner. Meredith has always replied to my every message almost instantaneously, even though I have never done the same in return. However, she seems to be taking longer than usual to reply to my text this time.
Even after waiting for a long while, she still hadn’t replied. Well, maybe she feels awkward and thinks it’s better not to bring it up. So, that’s probably not a bad thing for both of us either. At the thought of that, Pierre tossed the cigarette butt out of the car window and drove off.
Meanwhile, Meredith and Megan were still arguing with each other over the former’s phone that was dropped into the toilet bowl. “I’m not gonna pick it back up from that ‘pit’,” Meredith said. “Come on! I’m getting married soon, so I don’t wanna get jinxed. Furthermore, I’m going to be a laughing stock if people hear about this.”
Deep down, Meredith was sure that her sister would never reach her hand into the toilet bowl for her phone, but even so, she wasn’t willing to do it herself. Of course, her reason was exactly the same as Megan’s.
“Why don’t you get the maid to pick it back up?” Megan chuckled and added, “But are you sure you still want that phone, Meredith? It’s been down the ‘pit’, after all.”
In fact, that phone was her own personal one, which she had specially bought because of Pierre. Thus, there was nothing else in it besides her contact with Pierre. Megan’s right. I’m not going to use that phone anymore even after it’s been taken out of that ‘pit’.
After all, I only bought this phone because of Pierre, so it must never be tainted and dirtied. “Fine then!” After the maid retrieved the phone from the toilet bowl, Meredith directly threw it into the trash can.
