Chapter 824
Seeing that he was getting more and more overboard with his words, Meredith anxiously shouted,” Josiah, just shut
up!”
Josiah glanced at Meredith, who was exasperated, and continued, “I remembered when you were fighting Edith
with me back then, you’ve shamelessly said that as long as Edith was not happy, you would never give up on her. I’ll
return this line to you today….”
With a loud slap, Meredith raised her hand and slapped Josiah across the face.
“I’m warning you again, Josiah. I don’t need you to meddle in my business. No matter how Charlie and I are, it’s
none of your business!”
“None of my business?” Josiah was slapped by her, but he did not get angry at all.
Instead, he looked at the wound on her face. “Is it after you’ve been beaten to death by Charlie someday and Nia
no longer has a mother that it would be my business?”

has caused me back then, this bit of injury is not even worthy to be mentioned. Besides, Charlie didn’t do it
intentionally, but you did back then.
“Don’t think that you’re helping me by doing this, and you can then reduce the sin for the hurt you’ve caused me
back then. If you truly want to clear the grudge I have against you, then stay further away from me.”
Upon saying that, she took action and pushed him out of the bedroom.
“Get out of there. You’re not welcomed here!”
Charlie, however, squeezed a sentence out of his gritted teeth, “Let him speak!”
Both of his hands were tightly clenched into fists and he was using all his might to endure the mixed feelings he was
having.
As expected, Josiah did not spoil him and continued, “Charlie, Edith kept saying that she loves you, she doesn’t want
to leave you, and she won’t leave you, but I believe you understand what’s the purpose of her saying that. It was all
for your sake. However, you kept injuring her every other day. Do you think you’re doing right by her by doing so?
“You’ve guessed it right. Meredith still has feelings for me. I also won’t give up on her. Therefore, the best way for
you to keep her around is to love her as you did back then, and not harm her like you’re doing now. Do you
understand?”
“Josiah, you’re talking nonsense! I’ve stopped loving you for a long time!” Meredith said in exasperation,” I’m not a
masochist, how can I still be loving you now?”
“Charlie, did you hear that?” Josiah raised his eyebrows at Charlie. “Nobody is a masochist. Nobody would let you
torture them over and over again as you pleased.”
“…” Meredith was about to say something, but Josiah rolled up her sleeve and showed her injured arm to Charlie.
“Do you see this? This is your work of art yesterday.” After that, he turned her face around and showed her cheek
to Charlie. “You have a work of art here today as well.”
“That’s right. Her finger as well.” Josiah held her hand. “As for when her finger was injured by you, I have no idea.”
Meredith forcefully shook off his palm. “These injuries were caused by me by accident, so if you’re done, get out of
here now!”

Josiah finally turned his gaze toward her and it was a little gentle. “Edith, Charlie was sunny and confident back
then, and he doted on you, loved you, and protected you. However, he has changed now. What is there still for you
to hold on to? Why don’t you just take Nia and come home with me sooner, and give me a chance to make up for
all the mistakes I’ve made in the past.”
“What if I don’t agree? Would you get out of here immediately?” Meredith still said that without any hesitation at all.
“I’ll wait for you to agree.”
Josia raised his hand again to touch her cheek and urged her gently, “Hurry up and get some medicine on it. It’s not
good if such a pretty face is infected and is disfigured once again.”
Meredith was speechless.
“Only now did I realize how indecent it is to recklessly harm a woman. It’s such a pity that I did so much of it back
then.” —
She truly wanted to kick him out with brute force.
However, she could only stare at him coldly. “No matter what, I can’t get uglier than being burnt by you back then.”
“That’s true.” Josiah nodded. “I’ll leave now. Take care of yourself.”
The jerk finally left.
