Chapter 741 After listening to her words, Charlie regretted returning too late. He grabbed her fingers and tried harder, his voice choking up. “I’m sorry I’m late, Edith.” Meredith smiled and shook her head. “Why are you apologizing? I just said it casually.” “But you’re right. If I had returned earlier, it might not have been like this.” “Fate is such a mysterious thing. If we don’t get together in the end, it proves that fate is not on our side.”
“What about Edith and Josiah? Is fate on their side?” Charlie disagreed with her. “I don’t think you two got together just because of fate.”
Probably. Why were there so many obstacles and hardships between her and Josiah? “Forget it, let’s not talk about it.” Meredith raised the glass and said to him, “Come on, let’s have a drink.”
Before he could respond, she had already drank the wine in the glass first.
Charlie didn’t want to change the subject, so he stared at her and asked, “Since Miss Yena has woken up, does Edith plan to remarry Josiah?”
“Yeah.” Meredith nodded. “Josiah said that he only treats Yena as his sister. I need to believe him.”
She didn’t want to believe him, but she had to.
Nia had to have a father.
This time, Charlie was the first to pick up the wine in the glass and drink it up.
The wine was a little strong, and the two of them drank a little too much.
It didn’t take long for Meredith to become drunk, and she became less rational.
She even put her arm on Charlie’s shoulder and smirked at him.”you know what, little brat? The first time I saw Josiah, I was infatuated with him.”
Charlie looked at her and smiled in pain.
After watching her for a while, he grabbed her shoulders with both hands to force her to face himself, and said sternly, “Meredith, that was the Charlie you knew ten years ago, but now Charlie is no shorter than Josiah.”
Meredith was stunned by his reaction.
She immediately looked at him, raised her hand and patted the top of his head. “Yes, now that Charlie is grown up, he can pursue the girls he loves.”
“But you are so good, you should find a young and beautiful girl to marry and have children, because you deserve it.” Meredith shook her head. “It’s a pity that I’m in my declining years now. In the past, there were many excellent girls around me. I could introduce you to one!”
