Chapter 43 Reconciliation
Meredith is pregnant?
Fiona was shocked, her face visibly changed.
“When did this happen?” Fiona pursued: “When did Meredith tell you? I had no idea.”
“You two had a fight, you blocked her, how was she supposed to tell you?” Justin said. “You two are close sisters, used to share everything. Fiona, do you know if Meredith knows any men? Who she’s close to.”
Justin called Fiona over to clarify, to figure out who had wronged Meredith.
He needed to find out who it was to take responsibility for Meredith.
Justin liked Meredith, but his liking did not require possession, he just wanted her to be happy.
“Meredith didn’t tell you whose child it is?” Fiona noticed.
Justin nodded: “Meredith wouldn’t say. Fiona, do you know?”
How could Fiona not know, it must be Terrence Sterling’s child that Meredith is carrying.
Fiona felt a crisis, if Meredith has a child, will she go after Terrence Sterling for responsibility?
Wouldn’t she be in trouble?
The child is Meredith’s ace in the hole, with a child in hand, wouldn’t Thornfield Gardens be in her grip?
“Fiona?” Justin saw Fiona’s expression change and asked, “Do you know?”
“I don’t know.” Fiona denied firmly. “Meredith has never told me.”
“I see.” Justin wasn’t suspicious.
Fiona asked, “Is Meredith planning to keep the child?”
“She said she would.”
“What is she going to do by keeping it?” Fiona was a bit excited. “Is she going to hold that man responsible?”
“Meredith’s intention is to be a single mother.” Justin said. “We are both orphans, abandoned by our parents, Meredith naturally doesn’t want to give up the child.”
Upon hearing this, Fiona breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she wasn’t going after Terrence Sterling, there might still be a chance to stop her.
As they were chatting, Meredith arrived.
Fiona went to open the door: “Meredith, you’re here.”
This time, Fiona was very enthusiastic. “Have a seat and rest for a while. Justin has prepared some shrimp for you to eat later.”
After having cold war for so long, and being sarcastic yesterday at Meriton, Meredith now felt a bit dazed by Fiona’s warmth.
The old Fiona seems to have returned.
Justin also came out from the kitchen: “Meredith, peel some shrimp first, the braised pork trotters I cooked for you will be ready soon. Eating pork trotters can supplement collagen for your skin.”
Meredith laughed, “I can smell the fragrance already.”
Fiona asked, “Meredith, do you want some dipping sauce? I’ll go chop some garlic.”
Meredith said, “For eating the trotters, there must be dipping sauce and chili, right?”
“Yes, everything is ready.” Justin could see that the two had made up, he was happy for them, and brought out garlic and chili, “You prepare the garlic and shrimp, I’ll be done soon.”
With clear division of labor, the dipping sauce was quickly prepared, and the braised pork trotters and cold shrimp were brought to the table.
Justin also fried two side dishes. The three of them had plenty to eat.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Justin picked the best piece of pork trotter and put it in Meredith’s bowl. “Eat more, have some soup later, it’s good.”
“Okay.” Meredith didn’t hold back and started eating first.
Fiona, looking at how caring Justin was towards Meredith, felt very jealous.
From childhood to adulthood, Justin always took care of Meredith first, giving her the best.
After tasting it, Meredith felt the taste was not enough, “I need to add more vinegar.”
Meredith added a lot of vinegar, making it sour just by smelling it.
Could it be true that Meredith is really pregnant?
Fiona felt even more jealous, and asked casually, “Meredith, Justin said just now that you’re pregnant. Why didn’t you tell me such a big thing? Come, let’s have a drink together to celebrate.”
Meredith subconsciously glanced at Justin.
Justin said, “Meredith, I chatted a bit with Fiona just now.”
“Meredith, this is good news. If Justin becomes the child’s godfather, then I’ll be the child’s godmother.” Fiona smiled and said, “Are you still mad at me? It was my fault, I argued with my boyfriend before, and I was in a bad mood, that’s why I said those things.”
Meredith naturally wouldn’t argue with Fiona, since Fiona had given her face, she would just follow along.
“How could I be mad? You being the godmother, I’d love that.” Meredith raised her glass.
Justin smiled, “You two have finally made up, I’m relieved too.”
