Chapter 832
“No. I was looking at Nia,” Meredith answered.
There was no huge emotional change for Charlie but he spoke very plainly, “I’m sure you must be yearning to go
celebrate Christmas with them.”
“No…” Meredith said. “It’s normal that you wish to go. No one would prefer to stay at home to accompany a
crippled,” Charlie

said.
“Does it please you to always be in such a negative mood every day?” Meredith sighed helplessly, “How are you
ever going to get better in this way?”
Meredith continued to talk while holding Charlie’s hand. “Alright. Stop putting those foolish ideas in your head. It’s

Christmas day today. What about we have turkey for dinner tonight?”
“You should celebrate Christmas with them. I don’t want to get in the way,” Charlie insisted.
“Charlie, I never thought of you that way,” Meredith refuted. “But the way you look at Josiah just shows how much
you are missing him.” Charlie could not stop his thoughts from coming out of his mouth.
“Charlie Larson! You…” Meredith was lost in words. “Why are you acting in this way now? Does Josiah really irritate
you that much every time you see him?”
“Yes.” Charlie gritted his teeth. “I want to kill him every time I see him. He makes me very uncomfortable.”
“Why do you hate him so much?” Meredith asked.
“Is that question necessary?” Charlie glared at her. “Josiah was the one who caused the accident. You can treat it as
if nothing happened but I can’t.”
Meredith sighed deeply and tried to explain patiently, “Charlie. I’ve told you many times. Josiah was not the one who
orchestrated the accident.”
“Who else can it be?” Charlie could no longer keep his cool. He started to be frustrated and agitated, “You knew

who was the one who caused the accident but you refused to tell me the truth. Because you want to protect
Josiah!”
“No, that’s not it. Josiah is really not the one who did this to you. Charlie, can you please trust me on this? Just this
once, trust me,” Meredith emphasized again.
“I won’t believe anything you said anymore.” Charlie threw away Meredith’s hand. “Your actions did not align with
the things you did. You told me you don’t like Josiah but you hide behind the curtain to peek at him. Don’t you think
you are being very fake?”
“Charlie Larson! Watch what you are saying! You are being ridiculous!” Meredith exclaimed.
“You are the ridiculous one! You are the one who is lying!” Charlie stressed angrily, “Do you dare to say you don’t
have any feelings for Josiah?”
“I dare to do so and I have been saying it all the time.” Meredith looked at Charlie with a disappointing look and her

eyes started to get teary. “Charlie, I really want to say the exact same thing Josiah said to you. Stop hurting me just
because you are crippled, okay? I don’t enjoy being tortured! I can’t stand all the negativity and suspicion you kept
on throwing at me.”
Charlie got so worked up that his eyes were turning red too. He gritted his teeth and said in sorrow,”
Meredith Leighton, you have finally said it, your true feelings. You have never wanted to stay here, isn’t it?”
His frustration kicked in and he grabbed the cushion on the couch and threw it at Meredith, “Just leave if that’s what
you want! Why do you need to stay here and continue to put on a show to lie to me?”
Meredith felt so upset and disappointed as she looked at Charlie’s angry face. She felt Charlie was not the same
person she knew before. Hence, she turned around and walked to her bedroom while gritting her teeth.
When Charlie saw Meredith leaving, his anger spiked even more. He yelled at the back of Meredith’s body,
“Meredith Leighton! Don’t you dare to come back! Don’t think about coming back here ever again!”
Meredith strode even faster and slowly started to jog. She just ran out of the mansion without changing her clothes
or taking her purse with her.
Ever since Charlie was crippled, she had been walking on eggshells. All she thought about was how to please
Charlie, make him happy, and give him the safety feeling he needed. However, no matter how kind, good, and
patient she was, she could not afford to be in such an environment for a long time.
