Chapter 924
“Just tell him that I’m doing very well.”
She initially wanted to say that it was because of him that she had lost her freedom.
However, she thought of the fact that with Josiah’s character, he would not give up if he had heard that she was not doing well. Instead, he would rush over and come looking for trouble with Charlie.
When that time came, both of them would get in a fight again, and then Charlie would go crazy again.
She then solemnly said to Goldie, “Just say that I’m doing very well and I’m just resting at home these few days when you reply to Josiah later. Don’t ever tell him that I’ve been locked up.
Goldie gave it a thought and nodded. “Alright. I got it.
“But Miss Meredith…” Goldie glanced out the door and said in a softer voice, “This is not going to work for you either. What if Mister Charlie doesn’t let you out anymore in the future?”
“He won’t. It’ll be fine after he has cooled down.”
Goldie pitied Meredith a little, but she could only pity her. After all, she also has no way to help her.
In the past, every time Charlie got angry, things would be fine after he had cooled down.
However, this time, Meredith was locked up at home for a whole week.
Meredith gradually became a little irritated. She came to Charlie early in the morning and said to him gently, “Charlie, I have to follow John to the court today. Can you let me out?”
Charlie was playing with the darts in his hand and was just throwing them again and again.
“What are you doing going to court? Is there a need for you to keep fighting for Nia’s case?”
“No matter if there’s a chance of winning or not, I have to defend the case in court.”
“What happens if you lose? What do you plan to do? Have you ever thought of this question?” Charlie asked calmly.
Meredith stayed silent.
How would she even dare to think about that?
Meredith did not know what to say but to continue apologizing to him, “Charlie, I’m sorry. It’s my fault this time. I hope that you can cool down and forgive me.”
“If you want me to forgive you, I can do that. Just don’t ever bring up with me about going out again.”
Meredith was speechless.
“But I truly have something to attend to today!”
“Just let John handle it by himself. There’s no chance of winning anyway.”
–
Upon saying that, he turned his wheelchair and went toward his bedroom.
Meredith stood still for a while, and then she suddenly walked toward him quickly. “Charlie, can you not be like this?”
Charlie stopped his hands’ movements and the wheelchair also stopped. “Can I not be like what?” He looked up at her. “Perhaps you can tell me what else I can do other than this?”
