Chapter 846

“Do let me know if you feel uncomfortable.”

“Don’t worry, Edith. I will.”

After Meredith and Lucas helped Charlie to sit in his wheelchair, she pushed him into the house and asked, “Charlie,

are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”

“I’m not,” He then asked, “what about you, Edith? Aren’t you hungry?”

Meredith was surprised that Charlie still cared about her at that time. It seemed to her that it was not the

calm before the storm, but it was just that Charlie was indeed calm.

She could tell he had become more mature than his past version,

Charlie’s calmness boosted Meredith’s confidence. She answered, “I just had some snacks in the banquet hall, so

don’t worry about me.”

She then walked into her bedroom and spoke, “Charlie, let me help you to take a shower.”

“I’ve already taken one.”

“You did?” She replied with a little surprise.

Meredith had been helping Charlie with showering in the past, yet he did it on his own that day.

“Yeah, Edith, you’ve been busy with your work. I should learn to take care of myself already.”

She squatted in front of him, holding his hands, and said, “I’m glad you’ve thought it that way, but it’s better to

have someone to help you with things like taking a shower. After all, there’s water in the bathroom, so you might

fall, and I don’t want that to happen.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.” Charlie said, “It’s getting late, Edith. Hurry up and take your shower now.”

“Alright, but I’ll help you to get on your bed first.”

Meredith got up, put Charlie onto his bed, and pulled the quilt for him before entering the bathroom to

take a shower.

Meredith got rid of her glamorous appearance after the shower, yet she looked comely attractive in the

eyes of Charlie.

Charlie could not move his eyes away from Meredith as she walked from the bathroom to the dresser to wipe her

face. Her proficient act reminded Charlie of Yena’s words.



Meredith had changed a lot. She was not the same person that she used to be anymore.

Yet, in Charlie’s eyes, Meredith had not changed at all. She was still charming, showing dignity and grace in every

gesture, as she used to when he first met her.

How could he hurt her, such a gorgeous person, like before? Why would he be willing to drive her away again?

Meredith headed to the study to deal with some urgent work after she had taken a shower. When she finished her

work, Charlie had already fallen asleep.

The next day was New Year’s Day.

The next day is New Year’s Day.

Traditionally, everyone would return to the old residence in Delmas Town to celebrate with Old Madam

Shelby. However, Old Madam Shelby was staying in Jehovah City this year because of Charlie’s injuries. Having

dinner with Old Madam Shelby thereby became an unspoken rule among the people.

Nia’s school held an activity on that day. Meredith was about to head out to fetch Nia, and she saw Charlie lying on

the couch watching TV. “Charlie, would you prefer to come with me, and we’ll go straight to the old house? Or

would you like me to fetch Nia here before we leave for the new year’s dinner?”

Charlie turned his head with a doubtful look. “Edith, you’re saying you want to go to the old residence?”

Meredith was put speechless by Charlie’s question. “Aren’t we going back to the old residence every year to

celebrate with Old Madam Shelby?”

“I don’t want to go.”

Meredith was surprised. When she mentioned that Old Madam Shelby asked him what he wanted to eat in the

morning, Charlie did not say a word. She thought he had tacitly agreed to return to the old residence for dinner.

“But…don’t you and your siblings go back every year for a reunion? And Old Madam Shelby didn’t go back to

accompany Old Sir Shelby to accommodate you. Wasn’t it a bit inappropriate if you don’t back?”

“Inappropriate?” Charlie quietly said, “Edith, you like to return to the old residence, don’t you?”

Meredith felt Charlie was about to act enigmatically again, and she had had long enough of it already.

However, to her surprise, Charlie suddenly spoke, “Well, it’s understandable. Grandma has always been kind to you,

and it’s appropriate that you want to go back to accompany her.”
