Chapter 682
Old Madam Shelby pulled Charlie back to the sofa and poured him a cup of tea. “Come, have some tea to calm
yourself down.” Although Charlie was a little reluctant, Josiah and Meredith had already left. He thanked Old Madam
Shelby, “Grandma, thank you for supporting me.” Old Madam Shelby sighed, held his hand, and said, “Charlie,
actually, I only did that just now so you had an out, also to give Josiah a sense of crisis.”
“Grandma!” Charlie furrowed his brows
“Charlie, your cousin and his wife might be divorced, but they plan to reconcile. They also have a daughter. There is
no need for us to meddle in their affairs.”
Old Madam Shelby patted her chest. “Don’t worry. I’ll find you a good girl, I promise she’ll be much better than
Meredith.”

“Yes,” Mary chimed in calmly, “no matter how good Meredith is, she is your cousin’s ex-wife. She is also the woman
that your cousin wants to get back with. We should not spoil their relationship. Uh… if you really want a girlfriend, I
can introduce one to you. I know plenty of heiresses. Not only do they come from a good background, but they are
also scholars and pretty.”
“No matter how great they are, can they compete with ten-year-long feelings?” Charlie involuntarily said.
“What?” Mary and Old Madam Shelby were stunned at the same time. Charlie realized that he had misspoken. He
shook his head and said, “I’m leaving.”
“Hold up.” Old Madam Shelby pulled him back. “Charlie, you’re only twenty this year. You were still playing with mud
ten years ago. What do you mean by ten-year-long feelings?” “‘I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously, Grandma.”
Charlie got up from the sofa and hesitated for a while before saying, “But I really like Meredith. I’m serious about
pursuing her too. None of you can stop me.”
“No! She is your sister-in-law!” Mary stood up.

“She is unhappy with Josiah, and they have already divorced,” Charlie said to Mary, “Mom, don’t meddle in my
private affairs, you can’t anyway.”
“You – “Mary was infuriated.
Josiah pulled Meredith all the way back to the bedroom. He threw her on the bed and looked at her. “Tell me, what
are you up to today?”
Meredith rubbed her reddened wrist done by him. She initially felt that she should explain herself, but when she saw
how he was interrogating her, she did not want to explain to him anymore.
She sat up in bed and met his gaze fearlessly. “This is my private matter!” “You-” Josiah was even more infuriated.
He grabbed her by the chin and said through gritted
teeth, “Tell me, when have you gotten together with Charlie? Was he the one who gave you the hairpin? Did he

send those flirty text messages?” tp to that point, Meredith no longer found the need to hide things. She nodded
and admitted, “Yes.”
“Why did you lie to me?” He tightened his grip.
Meredith was in so much pain she gasped. She turned her chin to the side, trying to shrug him off
“Josiah, we have already agreed to not interfere with each other. You have no right to question
me.”
Before Josiah could say anything, she continued, “If you’re thinking about your reputation again, even you didn’t
find out about me and Charlie, let alone other people, so this doesn’t affect your reputation.
“Lastly, I want to reiterate myself. I will never marry you again in this life, no matter whether Charlie is in the
picture or not. I will also not stop you from getting together with other women. We are divorced, but still staying
together. We’ll just live our lives.”
Then, she pushed him hard. “Let go of me!” Although what she said made sense, Josiah was still fuming. Especially
when he thought about how she and Charlie were at the stage where they were meeting each other’s family, he
could no longer control himself.
