After eating breakfast alone, Derek stayed in the room for a while.

Although he wanted to go around with Meredith, he didn't know how to invite her given their current relationship.

However, the journey that he had been looking forward to turned out to be dull.

Just as he turned on his computer and was getting ready for work, his phone rang.

It was a call from the Smith family Old Master.

"Derek, about yesterday's contract, there are something I would like to discuss with you. Are you free?"

With nothing else to do, Derek agreed and went over.

However, he arrived at the Smith family, only to see Evelyn waiting for him.

Derek immediately realized that the so-called contract negotiation was just a cover. He immediately put on a long face.

"Mr. Xavier, you don't have to look at me like that. I can talk business with you, too."

Evelyn did not care. Instead, she kept him with an excuse that he could not refuse.

Derek was speechless and looked at her. "So Miss Smith, what are you going to say?"

"Let's get a place and talk about it. Take it slow.”

Evelyn was certain that Derek would not ignore a big contract. Sure enough, he agreed despite his unwillingness.

In order to cheer Easton up, Meredith went online and carefully checked the local tourism strategy. At the thought that Easton was very happy the last time when he went to the food street, she decided to take him out to eat the special food here.

"Easton, how about we go out for a walk later and get something to eat at a restaurant? The snacks here are very famous.”

Easton was not in high spirits, displeased at the thought that his parents couldn't be with him together.

However, seeing how serious Meredith was trying to make him happy, he nodded and agreed. "Okay, get your clothes changed. Let's go to the park not far away and have a walk before we eat.” Meredith stroked Easton's head, found him a set of loose clothes to change into, and left hand in hand.

They wondered around until Easton felt tired before Meredith took him to a restaurant.

However, as soon as they entered, they saw Derek and Evelyn sitting opposite him.

Meredith was out of sorts.

"Easton, let's go somewhere else.”

Meredith's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Although she made things clear to Derek, the sight of him with Evelyn discomforted her.

She could not help but wonder if Derek had already thought of a way out before he agreed so readily. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Speaking of which, Evelyn's status was beneficial to Derek's future career development in Violet's mind. It would not be surprising if Derek considered her.

"Hey, but mom, didn't you say that the special food here is delicious?"

Easton, who was short, didn't see where Derek was. He was confused.

His voice came to Derek.

His eyes fell on them

When Evelyn saw this, she knew exactly what was going on.

She immediately felt fidgety. She obviously asked Ellie to go to Meredith and hold her back. "What a waste!" she thought.

However, she was not alarmed. Seeing Derek who was distracted, she picked up a piece of cake from the plate and put it to his mouth.

"Derek, try this. It's delicious."

Her words was happened to be heard by Meredith.

It was only then that Easton realized that his father was there too. Taking a look, he saw that a strange woman was about to feed his dad.

The little guy went into furious immediately.

He wondered what she was doing.

Derek's face darkened immediately. "I don't know you that well," he rejected.

He was here because Evelyn wanted to talk to him about the contract here.

He didn't expect Meredith to come.

Now, there was a big misunderstanding.

Being rejected, Evelyn was a little embarrassed and the smile on her face froze, but she chuckled, "Don’t be a stranger, Mr. Xavier."

Her words sounded like flirting.

Meredith didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Easton, let's get out of here. Let's go.”

With that, she took Easton was about to leave.

"No, I want to eat here.”

Easton didn't understand why Meredith wanted to leave. But he seemed to know she cared about it. She should have gone up and claimed that she was Derek's wife.

Women's minds were always hard to guess.

Easton felt that his mother might be too embarrassed to do such a thing, so he had to do it for her. He was five years old anyway, so anything he did could be forgiven.

"Easton..."

Meredith was helpless, but Easton put on a pitiful look. "But, mommy, you've been telling me for so long that the food here is so delicious. Now that we're here, you're taking me away. You're kidding me."

Easton blinked his big eyes, looking very aggrieved.

Meredith blush with embarrassment. Indeed, she had talked so highly of the restaurant just to get him out.

Easton must be disappointed if they left.

"Well... Okay."

Meredith compromised. The waiter was about to lead them to a seat, but Easton had already figured it out. He dragged Meredith directly to the table where Derek was.

"Right here.”

"Easton..."

Now Meredith really couldn't compromise. Sitting next to Derek and Evelyn might suffocate her. She was not going to making things difficult for her.

"Look, here, by the window, you can see the river view. It's the best seat in this restaurant, and..." Easton tilted his head and looked at Derek. "Dad, do you mind?"

Derek wanted to knock his head after hearing his words.

His words implied that he had an affair and would disown his son because of Evelyn.

"Of course not. Come and sit down."

Derek called the service staff and asked them to add a child seat.

"By the way, auntie, is it okay for me to sit here?”

Before Easton seated himself, he looked at Evelyn.

Hearing that she was called auntie, she pulled a long face.

Auntie?

She was an unmarried girl who was only in her twenties.

"Easton, right? I'm not an auntie. I can be your sister.”
