Chapter 798
Meredith had put it so seriously and sincerely. It was clear to please him. Although Charlie was moved by it, he
could not hear her intentions.
He turned around and looked at her. He asked, “Meredith, do you love me?”
“Of course, if not why would I marry you?” “Isn’t it because I have helped you a lot and pursued you for a long
time?” “Of course, not.” Meredith shook her head. She held his hand. “Charlie, why would you have such thoughts?
If I don’t love you yet marry you, this isn’t repaying you. This is biting the hand that fed me, you understand?”
“I don’t,” Charlie said.
“Marriage is a matter of a lifetime. If I don’t love you yet marry you, this is an irresponsible way of doing things. I
won’t be so selfish.” Charlie looked at her. His eyes reddened a little. “Since I have fallen in love with you and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmarried you, I will never leave you for the rest of my life. Unless you fall in love with another woman like Josiah.”
Meredith squeezed his hand tightly. “So, please don’t chase me away again. Let me stay with you, please?” Charlie
looked at her for a long time before finally nodding his head. Meredith let out a sigh of relief. Her eyes reddened
too. She said, “Charlie, you finally thought it through. You no longer chase me away. I thought that I was going to be
kicked out today.”
Although Charlie nodded, he was still a little worried.
“Meredith, don’t lie to me.”
“Lie to you about what?”
“Lie to me that you love me.” “How could I lie to you?” Meredith ruffled his hair, then she immediately apologized,
“Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot that our Charlie doesn’t like people ruffling his hair.”
Charlie smiled but with a tinge of sadness.
Meredith poured the oatmeal porridge she brought over. She said while pouring, “I woke up early to cook for you
and Nia. You have to eat more.”
Charlie looked at the oatmeal porridge in his bowl before looking at her again.
“Eat up. Nia had two big bowls,” Meredith urged him.
Charlie took a mouthful. It tasted as great as usual. He thought that he would no longer be able to eat Meredith’s
cooking.
He took two mouthfuls before looking up at Meredith. “Meredith, go to work.”
“It’s fine. I’ve hired a few more people. I have time to be with you here.”
“But I don’t want to drag you down,” Charlie said.
Looking at his low self-esteem, Meredith understood that it was best if she went to get busy with her work. He might
even feel better that way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe suppressed her heartbroken feeling. She nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go to the office after having breakfast
with you, but you have to promise me you will care for yourself properly. You cannot have any of those sad
thoughts.”
Charlie nodded.
“Come, have more.”
“Meredith, you have some too.” “Okay.”
They shared a bowl of oatmeal porridge. After instructing the caretaker to care for him, Meredith leaned in to kiss
Charlie on his forehead. “What do you want for lunch? We’ll have lunch together.”
“Anything.”
“Then, I’ll see what to prepare.” Charlie nodded and saw her leaving the ward.
