Chapter 921
That made sense as well. He always had people keeping an eye on her, so yesterday must be the same as well.
He might have already known that she and Josiah had been doing the deed from the Luna Club all the way to
Josiah’s mansion and had only just stopped.
However, he held himself back and did not say anything at all. Did he come to his senses because of what Josiah
had said just now or did he know that he had gone slightly overboard with his words yesterday?
He had always been like that. He would apologize to her after he acted recklessly.
After they got home, Meredith settled him down and then found an excuse to hide in the study.
She turned on the computer and looked through the documents absentmindedly for a while. After giving it a
thought, she still decided to go to Charlie and have a proper talk about the matter that happened yesterday night
When she opened the door, she realized that the door was locked.
Meredith tried to open it for a long time but the door just would not open. She then had no choice but to bang on
the door and shouted, “Wilma? Wilma are you there? This door of mine seemed to be broken!

It was after she had shouted for a while that Wilma answered haltingly on the other side of the door,” Ma’am, the
door has been locked by Mister Charlie. I also can’t open it…”
“What did you say?” Meredith was stunned. “What do you mean the door has been locked by Mister Charlie? Why
did he lock the door?”
“Mister Charlie said it is to prevent you from wandering off.”
Meredith was speechless and was simply exasperated.
He wanted to prevent her from wandering off, so he locked her up? Has Charlie gone insane?
When she thought of this unusual behavior earlier, she did not find it strange anymore.
It was no wonder why he appeared to be very calm on their way back. He did not lose his temper, go insane, and
question her. Instead, he silently accompanied her home, and then silently hid in his bedroom.
Meredith breathed in softly and said to her, “Wilma, please wheel Mister Charlie over. I have something to say to
him.”
Wilma said with difficulty, “Ma’am, Mister Charlie had already locked himself in his bedroom for a long while now.
He did not eat or drink, and he also didn’t let us enter.”
“Tell him that I want to talk to him.”
“Alright.”
Wilma knew that it would be pointless for her to go, but for the sake of letting the couple reconcile as soon as
possible, she still bit the bullet, knocked on Charlie’s door, and opened it.
When she entered and saw Charlie’s face as white a sheet, she could not help but worry and asked,” Mister Charlie,
what happened to you? Why is your face so pale?”
Charlie did not answer her and just sat quietly in his wheelchair.
Wilma asked again, “Mister Charlie, are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine.” He shook his head gently.
Wilma could not get anything out of him, so she could only say, “Mister Charlie, Ma’am said that she wants to talk to
you and asked you to open the door for her.”
“Open it then,” Charlie said calmly.
Wilma thought that she had heard him wrong. “Mister Charlie, you’re willing to let her out?”

Charlie did not make a sound anymore, so Wilma assumed that he had agreed.
As soon as Meredith regained her freedom, she went straight to Charlie’s bedroom. She was prepared to ask him
why he locked her up, but she saw his pale face.
“Charlie, what’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?” She reached out her hand to touch his body, but
he shook her hand off.
“Charlie, just vent it out if anything is bothering you. Don’t keep it in your heart.” She could tell that his body was
very unwell and he seemed to be enduring some pain.
If he were to hold it in like that, he might easily fall sick instead.
Charlie did not answer her question, but he said without any expression on his face, “You’ve spent the night at
Josiah’s mansion yesterday, haven’t you?” He did not look at her, but she could still feel how indifferent his gaze
was.
