Having coaxed Easton, Meredith took his hand to walked home.

And Derek had calmed down and came over from the other side.

Seeing him, Meredith didn't say anything, "Easton is hungry. Let's go back and eat something.” Derek nodded and followed them.

He wanted to ask something, but he didn't know-how.

Now, what was she thinking about Parker?

He really wanted to know, but he didn't know how to ask. He was afraid that he would get an unacceptable answer.

Just like that, they went upstairs quietly.

Meredith found a bag of quick-frozen dumplings from the fridge. “There's no other staple food. We have a simple meal?"

The things she packed back were all desserts. They could not be aten as a meal.

"Well, everything is okay!"

Touching his flat belly, Easton nodded.

Looking at his cute appearance, Meredith messed up Easton's hair. Then she heated up other food in the microwave and turned on the gas to prepare the dumplings.

Easton was already hungry, so he ate happily in the dinning room, regardless of other things. Derek seized the opportunity and went into the kitchen. Seeing Meredith busy, he couldn't help but say, "You... and him, what's going on?"

Eventually, he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened. If he didn't ask, he wouldn't be able to sleep well today.

"...", Meredith didn't answer because she didn't want to.

Parker's return reminded her of many things.

Her negative emotions which almost faded emerged.

Only then did she realize that she had never let go of the past.

In particular, with Violet's stubborn attitude, she did not even receive a formal apology.

How could she let it go?

It was a betrayal to forget all the things. It was called forgetting the pain after recovery.

So, she didn't say anything.

Her silence made Derek's heart sink.

Looking at her calm face, "Why don't you answer me? Is it because this question is too much for you to answer?"

His tone was very violent, even unconsciously with a hint of oppression.

She suddenly felt that now he was reunited with him five years ago.

Her mood became bad, so she answered impatiently, "Is it necessary for me to answer your question?”

Derek was speechless for a moment.

Was it necessary?

Maybe it was not.

After all, she had never recognized their relationship, and even if they were close, it was him that always stuck to her.

However, he had done his best to make up for her.

She had never been moved at all?

He was suddenly very anxious and subconsciously reached out and grabbed her arm.

She was stirring the water in the pot to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pot. At that moment, she was about to let him go when she was suddenly pulled into his arms.

"Is that your answer? You fall in love with Parker?”

His tone was dangerous and seductive.

She struggled, but could not break free of his arm. His hands were powerful and locked her like steel pliers, making her unable to move.

"Whether I love him or not, it doesn't seem necessary to report it to you.”

She was also angry.

In fact, she really didn't have any feelings for Parker other than friends. She was deeply grateful to him, but she didn't want to be with him.

Such a person deserved a better woman.

However, because of Derek's behaviors, she did not want to talk in a normal way.

She was tired of his sudden suspicion.

If he was unhappy with her casual relationship with a male friend, then how would he settle the score of getting in touch with so many women and having held a century wedding with Chloe? His anger was aroused by Meredith's tone, and he held her wrist tighter.

She felt painful and immediately struggled, but there was boiling water in front and Derek behind. No matter how much she resisted, she could not escape from his shackles.

Instead, her actions angered Derek. He grabbed the her slender waist and pulled the distance between them to a very ambiguous range.

"Are you crazy?"

She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then looked up at his eyes.

He also looked down at her, but the emotions in his eyes were so complicated that no one could understand what he was thinking.

Their breath sounds intertwined, and their heartbeat gradually blended.

Just as they were at loggerheads, Easton, who had almost finished the dessert, ran over.

He remembered that it didn't take long to cook the frozen dumplings. Why didn't Meredith come out for so long?

"Mom, why haven't you cooked it well yet?"

When Meredith heard Easton's words, she became even more ashamed and angry, trying to push the man against her away.

However, he remained unmoved and looked at her expressionless, as if Easton's voice had not interfered with him.

She didn't dare make too much noise, because she was afraid that Easton would come running in and see this awkward scene when he heard it.

"Derek, Easton will come in later.”

He smiled, but the smile did not perform in his eyes.

"To him, I am his father, and you are his mother. It is natural for us to be close.”

When she heard this, she felt that this man... was extremely shameless.

"Then I'll tell him right away that sometimes, mom and dad don't have to be together.”

Meredith, like a cornered rabbit, replied forcefully.

Derek was instantly enraged.

He forcefully blocked the mouth that had been keeping denying, and fiercely plundered her everything.

She was startled. What was he thinking? Was he really not afraid of Easton seeing them?

But the entanglement between their lips and teeth became more and more intense, and the oxygen in her chest became thinner and thinner, making her brain gradually unable to react to how things had become like this.

"Mom?"

Easton just asked casually before. Seeing that Meredith hadn't talked to him for a long time, he flattened his mouth, jumped off the dining chair, and walked towards the kitchen step by step. "Why are you ignoring me..."

Easton's aggrieved voice was getting closer and closer. She came to her senses and reached out to push Derek away.

"You... let go, Easton will see us!"
