Meredith walked back to the hotel room.

She resisted looking back and kept walking.

Derek didn't follow her. Although he knew that it was her purpose, he still felt uncomfortable.

Her eyes turned red.

It turned out that she cared about him more than he ever imagined.

Meredith wiped the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath expressionlessly, and then returned to the room.

She didn't want Easton to see anything strange.

However, as soon as she pushed the door open, he saw Easton sitting on the bed in a daze.

He didn't eat a single bite of all the snacks she bought him, and he looked worried.

Meredith hurried over. "What's wrong, Easton? Why didn't you eat? You should be hungry.”

"I have no appetite.”

Easton looked at Meredith's face. He always felt that something bad was going to happen, so it was natural that he didn't have any appetite.

"Mom, did you fight with dad?"

Meredith shook her head. They didn't quarrel and they were both calm throughout, but... Perhaps the fact was much more serious than Easton had imagined.

"What about my dad? Why didn't he come back together with you?"

Easton grabbed the corner of Meredith's shirt. "Let's go find him, shall we?"

Meredith picked him up. "Easton, he's tired today. You stay here with me and let him be alone, okay?"

She sounded gentle but determined.

Easton calmed down. He sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't know what to do. However, seeing the slight sadness in Meredith's eyes, he nodded, "Okay, I'll look for him tomorrow.”

Meredith smiled and touched his head, messing up Easton's neat hairstyle. "Go eat something. I'll give you a bath. You should take a break too."

Meredith ate with Easton, showered him, told him a story. When he finally fell asleep, she sighed with relief.

If she could, she wanted Easton to be happy forever, but it seemed that reality was not always what she wanted.

Meredith was in the room with Easton for a while when the phone suddenly rang.

She didn't want to wake Easton up, so she went out to answer the phone.

It was Amelia who called. Today, Parker visited her. Only then did Amelia knew that Meredith was going out for a while.

Parker subconsciously thought that Meredith was going out with Derek.

Amelia only knew that Meredith was going out. In order to make Parker stop feeling worried, he specially called to ask about the situation.

"Mer, what are you doing?"

"Nothing. I'm in the hotel now. Mom, are you okay today?"

"Not bad. Parker came to see me today and asked me where you were. Didn't you contact him in advance? He'll worry about you."

"I... I was in a hurry and didn't have time to talk to him."

"But why did you have time to tell Derek? Mer, do you still have feelings about him?"

“l don't"

Meredith immediately denied it. "I told him today to make a thorough break. He agreed.”

Amelia was surprised to hear that.

However, she quickly guessed if something had happened, which made Meredith make up her mind

"What happened again?”

Meredith lowered her head. She knew that she couldn't manage to hide it from her mother, so she told her mother everything.

Amelia sighed when she heard that. She knew that would happen.

With the family background of the Xaviers and Violet's personality, how could Meredith be so easily accepted?

As a mother, she didn't want her daughter to fight with a group of covetous women every day to snatch a man. That would be too tiring.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have urged Meredith to break up with Derek for good.

"That's great. It's just that Easton may feel sad for a while.”

"I will accompany him more."

Meredith sighed too. The mother and daughter talked for a while and hung up.

Amelia shook her head and looked at Parker, who came in from outside with water in his hand. "Parker, Mer has finally changed her mind. Grab your opportunity.”

Parker was stunned. "Did she speak to Derek about the breakup?”

Parker was in sudden ecstasy.

"Well, I guess so. Parker. In that case, I will seriously ask you to take good care of Mer." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Parker nodded solemnly. "I promise you, I won't disappoint you. And I will make Meredith happy.” Amelia smiled. "I trust you. She's in Capital City now. I asked her to send me the address of her residence. It's up to you whether you want to go or not.”

"I'll be right there.”

Of course, Parker wouldn't miss the opportunity. He would never do nothing when he knew that Derek was there. It wasn't his style.

At the Smiths.

Ellie organized the materials that she had about Derek. There was no expression on her face. Naturally, she found out about Meredith and Easton.

As an outsider, she knew clearly that their relationship was steadfast.

Suddenly, the door was rudely opened from the outside. "Did you find out what I want to know? Hurry up.”

When no one else was around, Evelyn didn't care to hide her rudeness.

Ellie thought for a while, but in the end, she said, "Derek and the girl she met today have a good relationship. Besides, they have a son named Easton. I don't think it's wise for you to pursue him..." Ellie tried to be as tactful as possible. However, when Evelyn heard what she said, she suddenly became very angry. “Ellie, don't talk to me in that tone. They have children, but they're not married. It just means that the woman is not worthy of being his wife. I don't think it's unwise.”

"But... Are you going to be a stepmother to that child? I checked. He's already five years old, and it's hard for him to accept a stranger..."

"No buts."

Evelyn narrowed her eyes and looked at Ellie. "Don't think that you're popular after a few men pursued you. As long as I don't like the man, it's okay for me to give him to you.

Or do you think you can find fault with me after a few years in the public relations department?” Ellie's face turned pale. Before she could refute, a gentle and magnetic voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Evelyn, are you throwing a temper again?"

Hearing this voice, Evelyn, who had just been angry, immediately adjusted her mood and walked over gently.
