The Good Girl's Revenge
Chapter 560

Meredith didn't say anything and got into Derek's car.

Derek was relieved to see how cooperative she was.

Fortunately, she hadn't taken a dislike to him that much yet.

Easton blinked at Derek, as if he was taking credit for it.

Sitting in the car, Meredith didn't notice their interactions and felt a little uneasy. She simply looked out of the window, not allowing anyone to know what she was thinking.

Soon, the car arrived at the destination.

Easton looked out of the window, amazement gleaming in his eyes. "Wow, mom, look, it's so beautiful here.”

Meredith got off the car and looked at the house in front of her. It wasn't large, but very unique and classic.

There was a courtyard in front of the house, surrounded by red brick walls with a door richly ornamented with carvings.

As a designer, Meredith walked over to take a closer look at the details by instinct and found that those were ancient patterns. Now that vintage style was so popular, similar elements were also used in fashion design.

Easton was also very satisfied with this place. Growing up abroad, he was amazed to see a house with such national characteristics.

Derek was not surprised to see the expressions on their faces. After all, this was the house he had chosen very carefully.

Just as Meredith was studying the details at the door, the owner of the house walked out immediately at the sight of them. When he was about to greet Derek, Derek winked at him, signaling him to talk to Meredith.

The owner caught on at once, impressed by Derek. Since this house was both well-located and beautiful, it would cost the buyer a bundle.

However, the owner didn't expect that this man to leave the decision to his wife. What a good husband!

The owner walked up to Meredith and asked, "Lady, are you here to see the house?”

"Yes, we are. Sir, you have such a beautiful house.”

Honey-lipped, Easton made the owner of the house beam.

"Then let's go in and have a look.”

The owner of the house quite liked this family. After all, the husband was sensible, the wife pretty, while the child was smart.

Meredith couldn't help but shake her head seeing Easton running so fast. "Easton, don't run so fast. What if you break something or fall?"

"Well, it's fine. I'm not a kid anymore. I won't fall."

Easton said righteously, while Meredith felt helpless at that. Easton was only five years old, but he actually didn't think himself as a kid anymore.

"It's okay. He knows what to do."

Derek said behind Meredith.

Hearing the man's voice, Meredith wanted to run away, so she simply replied okay before trotting up to Easton.

Derek was a little disappointed, but he didn't take it seriously and followed them.

"This is the courtyard. Look, this tree has been here for decades. It's a pleasure to drink tea and relax here in summer."

The owner of the house was a man who knew how to enjoy life, so he would only sell the house to the buyer he liked. It was Derek's sincerity and manners that had touched him the other day.

The owner's words reminded Meredith of her own house. Although it was not so beautiful as this house, there was also a tree at the door. During her childhood, she and her mother had often relaxed under the tree. At that time, she was just like a carefree princess

"I used to have a tree like this in front of my house. When my mother scolded me, I would climb up the tree and hide myself. But once, I was bitten by a caterpillar, and I never dared to be naughty again.”

Meredith said as if she had fallen into memories.

It was the first time Easton had ever heard Meredith talking about her childhood, and he muttered, "So mom used to be a naughty girl too. Comparing to mom, I'm a good boy."

Easton's words made everyone laugh.

The owner stared at Meredith. "I can tell you know how to enjoy life, lady. I like people like you." Meredith smiled and said, "You're interesting, too. If you don't love life, you won't have put so much effort into decorating your own place.”

Derek couldn't help shaking his head when seeing the two having a good time chatting with each other.

Luckily, the owner of the house was now in his fifties and his child was at the same age as Meredith. Otherwise, he didn't know if he should be jealous.

The owner and Meredith had a good chat and he showed them around the house. Everyone was happy with it.

"If you're satisfied, let's talk over the contract.”

Meredith nodded and the group of people entered the study on the side.

"I inherited this house from my ancestors. Normally, I shouldn't sell it, but my son is running his business abroad now, and he feels worried about leaving me alone here, so we can only put it up for sale. Since I find you guys congenial to me, I won't overcharge you. Look, how about this price?" The owner wrote down the price on the paper. Meredith took it over and glanced at it, astonished. Although the owner said he wouldn't overcharge them, but the price was...

Meredith counted. The price shot into nine figures.

Even though Meredith was aware that the house must be expensive at the moment she saw it, she still needed some time to think it over at the sight of the price.

"Buying a house is a big deal. I might..."

"Deal. I'll buy it."

Derek saw the price clearly from behind Meredith.

Derek had done some background check recently. The owner didn't overcharge them indeed, and the house was worth this price.

More importantly, both Meredith and Easton loved it and this was the most crucial.

Therefore, Derek agreed on the price without hesitation.

Meredith looked back at him. "You don't have to pay for it."

If Derek paid for the house, she wouldn't move in.

"Leave her alone. Let's sign the contract.”

Derek raised his eyebrows when hearing what Meredith said.

The owner looked at them in confusion.

What was going on? Weren't they a couple? Why were they fussing about who should pay for the house?

However, since Derek had already offered to buy it, the owner might as well not interfere in other people's domestic affairs. "Then let's draw up the contract.”

Derek nodded and was about to go with the owner, while Meredith was at loss for words. "No, I'm buying the house, not him."

"We're a family. Why so fussy about who's going to buy it?"

The owner nodded with approval when hearing Derek's words. "Miss Mason, as a young lady, you might want to be an independent woman. But since you're a family, why bother fussing over such a detail?

Meredith was even more speechless after hearing that. She and Derek had divorced a long time ago, and they were not a family at all.
