Chapter 721 “Charlie, have you ever heard the saying that the more you love someone, the more you hate him
when we part?”
“I…..”
“It is precisely because I love him so much that after being hurt by him, I am so desperate that I want to kill him.”
Meredith looked at his speechless expression, raised her hand, and patted the back of his hand. “You have never
really loved a person. When you do, you will naturally understand my feelings.
“Who said I never did?” Charlie held her hand to prove his point. “Edith, the time I liked you was no shorter than
when you liked Josiah.” Meredith didn’t think much about his words, figuring it was something he said casually to
comfort her.

expression. “Edith, I’m telling you the truth. When I first saw you ten years ago, your eyes had always been on
Josiah. I knew at that time you liked a good man like Josiah, so I chose to fulfill your wishes. I never thought my
decision to let you go would result in him hurting you…” “Wait.” Meredith looked at him suspiciously. “How old were
you ten years ago? Ten years old? Are you sure you already liked the opposite sex at that time?” Charlie said
indignantly, “What’s wrong with that? Is it wrong to like a girl at ten years old?” “Uh… I mean, I think it’s too early
an age to fall in love with someone.” “It is what it is. What’s the difference?” Charlie said, “Although I have always
liked Edith for many years, I know I am too young to marry Edith. After Edith married Josiah as she wished, I
thought she would be happy, but instead, I unexpectedly received the news of Edith’s death.” “Edith probably
couldn’t imagine how sad I was five years ago, but Josiah, who was the culprit, seemed to feel nothing.” Charlie
growled, “Therefore, Edith, I would never agree to your remarriage to him. Never!”
Meredith never thought that Charlie had fallen in love with her since he was ten years old.
She always thought that everyone would celebrate when she had an accident five years ago. She didn’t expect that
there was someone who silently mourned for her.
She didn’t even have the slightest impression of this boy who had liked her for ten years.
The quirks of fate indeed! “So, that time you took the wrong car and pretended not to know me, were you just
pretending?” she asked bitterly.
“Yes, as soon as I received the news that Edith was not dead, I immediately returned.” Charlie shook his head in
annoyance. “But I…seemed to be a step too late.”
Meredith looked at his sad face, feeling sorry for him. She knew that she could not express those emotions to him,
though. After she took a deep breath, she said solemnly, “Charlie, thank you for liking me for so many years, and
thank you for not abandoning me when I am of no use now. Relationships are mysterious that way, though, we

“There is no turning back for me, but I hope you can hold yourself back and prevent yourself from falling into an
abyss. You are still young, and there are no people and things around you to drag you down so that you can make
yourself a better life.” “How could Edith compare my feelings for you to falling into an abyss?”
“That’s how it should be when dealing with a relationship that will go unrewarded.” “Also, Edith did admit that she
remarried Josiah for Nia, didn’t she?” Charlie said, “is Edith worried that I can’t take good care of Nia?”
“No, stop guessing.” To dispel his obsession with her, Meredith said, “I had liked Josiah since I was 15 years old. This
is not something that can be put down. Nia wishes to live with her daddy and mommy. I don’t want her to be sad.
She patted the back of Charlie’s hand again. “My remarriage with Josiah is a decision I made after careful
consideration. It’s not impulsive, alright?”
