Hearing Meredith call him “Easton’, the boy knew she was angry.

Meredith rarely got angry with him, and he would feel upset if he angered him

Easton bowed his head in grievance.

He didn't pretend. He really felt aggrieved.

"For Parker, my mother scolded me in person. Is he more important than me?"

"Don’t worry. They are not expensive.”

Seeing they quarreled, Parker quickly smoothed things over.

He didn't want to see them be at odds with each other due to money.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Meredith took a look at those toys.

They really didn't seem cheap.

"It looks big, but it's not expensive.”

Parker shrugged and pointed at the large toys in the store. Although the price was high, it was not beyond Meredith's expectation.

"Then... then all right.”

Meredith couldn't say anything any more. She felt relieved, "Thank you, Parker.”

"It's okay."

Parker gentlemanly picked up the box, "I ask people to send them downstairs first. You guys can shop around here.”

Meredith nodded. She was about to say something to Easton, so she took him to the sweet shop. Easton was unhappy because of what happened just now. Although he was young, he was a man who didn't want to lose face, but his mother embarrassed him, which made him very unhappy. Meredith wasn't in a hurry to talk to him. She was thinking of a way to make Easton understand her thoughts.

They went to the sweet shop in silence. Easton didn't say a word. He found a seat to sit down, pouting. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Easton, are you angry with mom?"

Meredith was helpless.

It had to be said that although Easton was always a good boy in front of her, after all, he was a pampered child of the Xaviers, who behaved like a spoiled boy.

"No."

Easton didn't want to admit it. He always felt ashamed to admit that he lost his temper for such trifle.

"Do you know why I was angry just now?"

Meredith was not in a hurry, "A long time ago, my family was poor. At that time, we didn't have enough money for your grandmother to be hospitalized.”

Hearing Meredith talking about the past, Easton became interested and looked at her, "And then?" Easton, who grew up in the Xaviers, didn't lack anything. He couldn't imagine what life it was.

"Your grandmother had been cured. What I wanted to say was not how hard it was back then, but that I loved your grandmother very much and didn't feel sad although we didn't have much money. Sometimes, money isn't that important.”

Money wasn't that important?

It was the first time that Easton had heard such words. He hadn't lacked money since he was a child. After all, as Derek's only son, he would never fall into despair.

But Meredith's words were inspiring

"So, I don't want you to judge a person by how much money his gift costs. It's unfair.”

Meredith said seriously.

Hearing this, Easton lowered his head, "I actually... didn't think so, just..."

He was just worried that Parker would take his mother away, and she would dump him and his father.

What was he going to do then? He finally found his mother, so how could he allow her to be taken away again?

"I was worried that mom would be with this uncle and leave me alone.”

Hearing this, Meredith was speechless.

It turned out that he was worried about this.

"Easton, don't worry. No matter what happens, you are my baby and my favorite.”

Cupping his face, Meredith was about to explain that her feelings for Parker were not as complicated as he had thought. But Parker came back.

"Why didn't you order anything?" Parker saw them talking, he didn't know what they were talking about, but he wanted to hear them.

Seeing that he was back, Meredith swallowed back what she wanted to say, "Nothing, just have a small chat. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

Parker wanted to refuse, but Meredith was insistent, he had no choice but to agree.

Meredith thought for a moment and ordered Easton a cup of warm milk, a cup of coffee for Parker, and a cup of sweet milk tea herself.

They got along well, drinking their own things and chatting from time to time.

Parker looked at Easton and suddenly thought of something, "I just checked the Legos that Easton bought, one of which was that I wanted to buy but I didn't buy when I was a kid. I think we can play together.”

That was utter nonsense.

He was in an orphanage when he was a child. He couldn't come into contact with such posh toys. And he even had to fight for food every day.

However, since the money had been spent, how couldn't he make the most of it?

Parker knew Meredith well. She was embarrassed to refuse a legitimate request.

"Oh, sounds good.”

Meredith didn't think much and she agreed.

The main reason was that with nine days’ wonder of Easton, who might dump them somewhere after a few days. what a waste!

If he could be with Parker, she wouldn't have to worry that his money would be wasted.

Easton didn't reply.

Easton pursed his lips. He wanted to say no. Who wanted to play Lego with an unfamiliar uncle? Why didn't he share the toys with the pretty girls in his class?

However, he knew that if he refused the uncle's kindness without an appropriate reason, his mother would definitely be unhappy. So he had to agree.

"Sure."

Easton nodded with a half-smile and agreed.

Parker smiled, "Then please kindly give me your advice.”

Meredith was pleased to see that they were getting along well.

When they finished their drinks and were about to leave, Parker's phone rang.

He glanced at it and frowned, hesitant whether to answer or hang up.

Seeing this, Meredith hurriedly asked him to do his own thing. Parker thought for a moment. There was a big box of things for Easton in his trunk. It was too heavy for a woman or a child to carry. Therefore, he insisted on sending them to the hospital and carried the things upstairs then he left. Fortunately, the ward Amelia was staying at was very large, and it didn't seem crowded with such a box in.

"Parker bought for Easton?"

Amelia was gratified. She had just talked with Parker who began to please Easton. It seemed that they could be a couple soon.
