"Pasta will do." Kimberly replied in Charlie's stead and added, "The pasta looks good and it's been a few days since Charlie had any pasta.” "Sure." Charlie nodded.
Kimberly got a plate of pasta for Charlie and took another for herself before taking a seat next to Charlie.
She took a bite and spat out the pasta. "Miss Meredith, you must miss your daughter so much that you forgot to add salt, didn't you?" Meredith looked at the bow! of pasta and wondered if she really did forget to add salt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe tasted the pasta and realized that she indeed did forget to add salt.
"I'm sorry. I'll add them right away." Hurriedly, Meredith reached for their plates.
"Forget it. It won't taste good anyway if you add them now.
We'll settle for bread and milk instead.” Kimberly then got a plate of toast and a glass of milk for Charlie.
She then made a remark on purpose, "Schools are open today and if you want to see your daughter, you should go. I'm sure Charlie wouldn't mind, would you, Charlie?" Kimberly turned to look at Charlie.
Charlie nodded. "Mm." Meredith shot a glare at Kimberly. "You don't have to worry yourself with this, Miss Kimberly. Nias father will be sending her to school today. | don't need to be there." "Why don't you need to be there? You've always used Nia as an excuse to meet with Mister Josiah, didn't you? Why aren't you doing it this time?" Kimberly sneered coldy and mocked, "are you worried that Charlie would be upset? Back then, you..." Meredith swung her arm and slapped Kimberly across her
face.
"Miss Kimberly, are you done?!" Even though Meredith did not slap her hard, Kimberly pouted her lips, covered her cheek, and started sobbing, "Meredith Leighton, how dare you hit me? Did | say anything wrong, though? You've always used Nia as an excuse to keep seeing Josiah, isn't it? If it wasn't because of you and Josiah... Charlie wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Who are you to meddle into our business?!" Rage gripped Meredith and she wanted to hit Kimberly again but she was stopped by Charlie who grabbed her by the wrist.
Meredith was stunned. She turned to look at Charlie only to meet his furious gaze. "Charlie, don't listen to her nonsense.” "Meredith Leighton, how do you expect me to love a crazy woman like you?!" Glaring at her furiously, Charlie seethed through his clenched jaws, "And, who are you to hit Kimberly? Do you not take me seriously?" "It's not that," Meredith looked into his eyes and said, "Charlie, | don't need other people to meddle in our matters. Miss Kimberly is accusing me and trying to come in between us. I'm already going easy on her." She then said to Kimberly, "Miss Kimberly, | allow you to stay here only because of Charlie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDon't push it further, if not, I'l still hit you." Feeling slightly guilty, Kimberly glanced at her and sneered, "Stop acting all pretentious. Just own up to what you did.
Come hit me again, | dare you." Meredith felt anger thrumming through her veins and she was
ready to go all out.
But her wrist was gripped tightly by Charlie.
"Let go of me, Charlie." "Why should I? So that you could continue bullying Kimberly?" Charlie then warned her coldly, "Meredith Leighton, don't you dare to lay your hands on her again!" He then flung away her wrist with force.
And Meredith fell onto the floor.
"I didn't know that you're quite good at pretending you're weak.
It seems like you've done it too much with Josiah and it's becoming a habit now," Kimberly went on to provoke her, "you're just shameless, aren't you? Luckily Charlie doesn't fall for your tricks!" "Come on now, stop pretending." Kimberly reached out her hand to Meredith.
