Chapter 850
“It’s okay, let me do it.” Penny came over immediately to clean up.
“Oh, so sorry to trouble you, Penny.” Meredith then held Nia’s hands and said, “It’s fine, honey. Now you know you
should be careful when you’re holding a glass, right?”
“I know.” Nia apologized apologetically to Old Madam Shelby, “Great Grandma, l-I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“It’s okay. Everyone slips their hands every now and then.” Old Madam Shelby did not mind at all.
“Grandma, I’ll take Nia upstairs to change clothes first,” Meredith said.
“Sure, darling.”
Meredith led Nia upstairs afterward.
Old Madam Shelby noticed that Charlie was staring at the back of Meredith and Nia as they walked up to the second
floor. She smiled at him and said, “Meredith has always been very sensible and well-behaved, and it is a blessing
that you got to marry her…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMrs. Larson nodded to agree with Old Madam Shelby but deep down she was filled with indignation.” Mrs. Shelby
has a pair of discerning eyes.”
Old Madam Shelby then took Charlie’s hands and asked, “Charlie, have you been getting along with Meredith these
days?”
“Grandma, we’re good.”
“That’s good.” She paused for a while, and then hesitantly continued. “Charlie, I had been by Meredith’s side as she
grew up. I understand her temperament and habits, so I forced Josiah to marry her despite Josiah being against it.
But it turns out God has his plan for Josiah and Meredith already. That’s why he sent Meredith to you, and she
eventually became your wife.
“Although she used to have a relationship with Josiah, she’s still better than many girls out there. She’s a wife-
material, so I hope you could treat her well and cherish her. Do you know what I mean?”
Charlie’s eyes moved slightly. He then raised his eyelids and stared at Old Madam Shelby. “Grandma, why did you
suddenly tell me this?”
“Uh…nothing,” Old Madam Shelby shook her head, “Maybe I’ve overthought. You know, worrying a lot is something
you can’t avoid when getting old. Haha. I was just worrying that the three of you won’t be able to handle your
relationship with each other.”
“Was it something Josiah had told you earlier?”
“What’s that?” Old Madam Shelby shook her head, “Josiah doesn’t even dare to see me now. What can he
say to me?”
Charlie then smiled lightly and said nothing,
“By the way, why did you ask that question? it can’t be that you’ve been treating Meredith badly, right?”
“Actually you’re right, Grandma. I often break Edith’s heart, but I promise I will change in the future.”
“Well, it’s fine if you’ve learned your mistake and grow from it.” Old Madam Shelby nodded. “I know you’ve been in
deep pain lately, and it’s reasonable that you’ve lost your temper. As long as you can get better slowly, I’m sure the
two of you can live happily ever after.”
“Grandma, so…” Charlie paused and looked at Old Madam Shelby,” does that mean I have your blessing for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeredith and me?”
“Of course.” Old Madam Shelby nodded solemnly, “As I said before, I won’t interfere with the love affairs of you,
youngsters. I’m happy no matter which of you marry Meredith.”
“I’m relieved that my Grandma has said that,” said Charlie.
Old Madam Shelby then smiled and said, “I hope you can rest assured that I’ve always taken you as my biological
son, just as Josiah to me, and I will not be biased toward either side.”
Charlie finally put a faint smile on his face and said, “No wonder Edith always said that you’re the one who treats
her the best in the whole family.”
“She’s more than merely a granddaughter.” Old Madam Shelby then took Charlie’s hands and joked, “So, you can’t
hurt her, or I’ll punish you as I did to Josiah. Haha.”
“Yes.” Mrs. Larson, who sat beside Old Madam Shelby, smiled and said, “You see. Your grandma was so strict with
Josiah and now he doesn’t dare to come back. Look how late it is now but he’s not even here
yet.”
Old Madam Shelby glanced at the clock. The time had passed six o’clock.
