Chapter 679

Chapter 679 “Miss Witch, what book are you reading?” He sat down in front of her and flipped the book in

Meredith’s hands. “Drugs? I thought you’re running some clinical trials?” “I was just simply flipping through the

book.” Looking at him, she asked, “Should we leave

now?”

“There’s no rush. If you want to read more, I can stay here with you.” “It’s okay. I was just reading it to pass time.”

Meredith got up from the chair and said, “Come on, let’s go now.”

“Okay.”

Both of them got into a car.

The car took a turn at a junction that led them to a residential area filled with bungalows and mansions.

Meredith guessed that Charlie might have come from a rich background, seeing how he was staying in such an

expensive neighborhood.

And the more that she could not understand why someone like Charlie would be interested in a woman with a

disfigured face like her.

“Charlie Larson, can I ask you something?”

“What is it, Miss Witch?”

“Have you liked any girls before?”

Hesitating, Charlie shook her head. “No.”

“Why? With your qualities, I’m sure you’d be popular among the young girls.”

“I do have a lot of girls who like me, but there’s only one person that I like.” He leaned in closer to Meredith and

pulled into a wide smile. “And you are that person.”

Meredith was rendered speechless.

The car pulled over in front of a mansion. Meredith and Charlie then got out of the car.

Charlie took out a few gifts from the car trunk and said to her, “This is for my grandma and this is for my mom. Just

don’t get them mixed up later.”

“You even bought gifts?”

Meredith knew of course that it was important to bring gifts when visiting someone else’s home for the first time.

She purposely chose not to get anything because she wanted Charlie’s family to have a bad impression of her. So

that eventually, they would oppose them getting together.



She did not expect that Charlie would be so thoughtful and attentive at such a young age. Meredith chuckled dryly,

“Can we skip out on the gifts? They look expensive and one would

VP

easily know that I can’t possibly afford to buy such gifts.”

“It doesn’t matter who bought it, what matters is the sincerity.” Carrying the gifts in one hand, Charlie held

Meredith’s hand in another, and said to her, “Come one now, let’s go in.”

Meredith silently removed her hand from him.

Charlie felt her pulling away. He felt slightly disappointed but he did not wish to push her.

Both of them entered the house and Charlie greeted the people in the house, “Grandma, Mom, we’re home.”

“Ah, is it that you Charlie? You’re back with your girlfriend?” Charlie’s mother got up from the couch and walked

toward them. Charlie’s mother took Meredith’s hand in hers and said friendly, “Here now, let me see who is this

special lady that had tamed our little Charlie.”

Looking at Charlie’s mother, Meredith greeted her rather awkwardly, “Nice to meet you.”

For some reason, Meredith felt a cold gaze piercing through her body from the moment she stopped at the house.

Instinctively, she turned around and her pupil dilated.

Meredith froze immediately.

It was…Josiah Shelby!

Their eyes met and Meredith could feel the coldness in his gaze.

Meredith looked toward the other end of the couch to find Josiah’s grandmother sitting there. And judging by her

expression, Meredith guessed that she had figured out who she was.

What was going on?

“My dear, why are you wearing a face mask?” Charlie’s mother did not know Meredith’s identity and hence she did

not recognize Meredith.
