CHAPTER 755
Charlie pulled into a wide grin and said, “I told you, getting married to you is my long-life dream and I have to be prepared. This content © 2024 .
“Nia’s past medical history and the symptoms that she is showing…I’ve read about it and have informed the doctor about them.”
Meredith did not expect Charlie, who was at such a young age, was already so thoughtful and meticulous
He was indeed someone who was perfect to get married to.
But…
Meredith shook her head as she pulled into a bitter smile. “But why?” Charlie was anxious and asked, “Edith, are you still planning to wait on that bastard? When he couldn’t even be bothered to show up for such an important occasion. Why would you want to get married to someone like him?” *It’s not that,” Meredith pointed at Charlie’s identification card and said, “Charlie, you’re not at the age for marriage yet.”
Charlie stared at his identification card.
He went into a daze but quickly regained his composure. “Oh no, I am half a year older than the birth date that is recorded here. I am actually at the age suitable to get married.” “But there’s no point in telling me that, you’d have to convince them, “Meredith pointed at the employees that were working in the city hall.
Charlie immediately went to consult the employees but the employees only accepted the birthdate that was recorded in their database as well as the date that was printed on the card. Hence, they would not
approve his application for registering a marriage. Looking desperate, Charlie held Meredith’s hands in his and said, “Edith, it’s okay even if we can’t register our marriage now. We can always register later.”
Seeing how Charlie was sweating because of nervousness and anxiousness, Meredith finally nodded her head.
Charlie thought that he was hallucinating. Grabbing Meredith by her arms, Charlie asked, taken aback, “Edith, did I see it correctly? You nodded your head, right?”
Meredith wiped away the tears in her eyes and said, “You saw it right. Please take me away. Please take me with you right now!”
After all, Nia had already forgotten about Josiah as her father and Charlie had already made appointments with the doctor. Hence, there was no need for her to waste any more time on Josiah
“Okay!” Charlie nodded happily, “Let’s go right now.” He then walked out of the city hall with Meredith’s hand in his.
After they got into the car, Charlie stared at Meredith who was in the passenger seat, looking
absentminded, and asked, “Edith, you won’t regret this, will you?”
Meredith shook her head.
“Do you need to prepare to pack anything?” “Aside from Nia, there is nothing else that I need.”
“Let us go get Nia then.” “Okay.”
Charlie drove Meredith back to Josiah’s mansion. Standing in front of the door, Meredith composed herself before walking into the house. Even though she did a good job pretending that everything was
fine, Lily still noticed that Meredith had cried. Hence, she asked, concerned, “Ma’am, what happened? Where is Sir?”
“He left as there’s work that he had to attend to.”
“Ah, I see.” Lily then asked, “Ma’am, did you manage to register your marriage?”
“Yeah,” Meredith gave a rough reply and added, “Lily, we’re planning to bring Nia somewhere for a vacation for several days.” “Are you going with Sir?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, I’ll pack a bag for Nia.” Lily then left.
Meredith walked into Nia’s bedroom to find Nia sitting in front of the window
absentmindedly. From afar, she looked rather lonely.
