Meredith looked at Easton speechlessly. She was very gentle with him at first, for fear of hurting his little heart.

But after a long time of contact and familiarizing herself with Easton's mischievous and narcissistic nature, Meredith could not help but burst out. Otherwise, she might not be able to deal with this little naughty boy.

"Hmph, my heart is hurt. I have to go out and eat something I love to make up for it."

Easton couldn't help but look up at the sky when he saw that Meredith didn't allow herself to be pushed around.

Meredith didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. But she thought that Easton had indeed been running around recently and had never eaten anything he liked. Besides, Fiona had just arrived, so she had to perform the duties of the host.

"Okay, I promise you. Easton, You can play by yourself for a while. I'm going to bathe Fiona. You're a boy. You can't come with us.”

Fiona was watching them quietly aside. After Meredith finished speaking, she took Fiona's hand and walked out.

Fiona held Meredith's hand, feeling warmth and softness, and her expression relaxed a lot. Meredith brought her to the bathroom. Fiona hesitated for a moment and slowly took off her clothes.

Meredith's expression changed as soon as she saw Fiona's small body.

She was just a four-year-old child, but she was already very thin and her ribs were particularly prominent. Moreover, there were many scars on her fair skin, which showed that she must often be beaten.

What could such a little child do to make those people beat her so heavily...

The more Meredith looked at her, the angrier she felt. Fiona saw Meredith's expression and thought Meredith was angry because of her. She immediately said weakly, "I'm... sorry, auntie. Am I too ugly?”

After that, she was about to take the clothes over and put them on to cover the wounds on her body.

"No, you aren't.”

Seeing this, Meredith stopped her immediately, "I just think those people are too bad. Fiona is a good child. How can they be so cruel to you?"

Meredith gently stroked the little girl's hair. She had read some books before and said that such gentle movements could make people relax.

After a while, Fiona calmed down and was relieved to realize that Meredith really did not despise her.

"Come and take a shower, or the water will get cold.”

Seeing that Fiona was not so vigilant, Meredith quickly led her to take a bath.

Then she wiped Fiona's body as gently as possible.

Fiona felt Meredith's kindness to her and relaxed gradually, "Auntie, you're so good to me. It would be nice if my mother was so good to me.”

At the mention of mom, Meredith remembered the business, "By the way, Easton said that you wanted to find your mom, right?"

Fiona nodded, "My mom left before I could remember. Now I don't know where she is, but I still want to see her..."

"Yes, I understand.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meredith nodded. Because she also had a mother who loved her deeply, she understood Fiona's feelings very well.

Moreover, in Meredith's opinion, the man who was called father did not fulfill his obligation to raise her daughter but even abused her. So she couldn't send Fiona back to the fire pit.

"Auntie will ask someone to help you find your mother as soon as possible. Do you have any other relatives? Or do you want to stay here and be with Easton?"

Fiona shook her head, "I don't know if I have any other relatives. Grandma and uncle don't like me..." "You can stay here until you find your mother."

As soon as Meredith heard about this, she could only do this.

Fiona nodded. After Meredith asked what she wanted to know the most, she began to scrub Fiona carefully. After thinking about it, she went to get the medicine box and put some medicine on some of Fiona's wounds.

After all were done, Meredith breathed a sigh of relief. Although Fiona was quite obedient, it was not easy to bath a child and to apply medicine for her.

Meredith took the clothes and put them on Fiona. As she put them on, the little girl said with soft voice, "Thank you."

Meredith's heart was melting and she was about to send her out when Fiona held her hand, "Auntie, can I ask you something?"

Meredith was a little surprised and immediately squatted down, "Of course. If I can do it, I will help." Fiona hesitated for a moment. She thought of the sad look on Easton's face in his room just now. She had suffered so much because of the separation of her parents, so she didn't want Easton to encounter this kind of thing.

"Auntie, please don't separate with Easton's father, okay? If you do, Easton will be like me. I don't want him to be like this."

Meredith was stunned when she heard this.

She didn't expect the child to talk to her about this.

"Did Easton say something to you?"

Fiona nodded, "He was so worried when he thought that his parents would separate with each other, but he didn't want to show it and make you worry."

Meredith felt guilty when she heard this, "Okay, I know. I'll talk to him about it later.”

Fiona nodded. Meredith took her to her room and knocked on Easton's door.

"Come in."

Easton thought it was Fiona who came to play with him, so his tone was casual.

As a result, it was Meredith who came in. He quickly put away the game console in his hand.

"Mom, have you finished bathing her?"

Meredith did not pursue his small movements but sat by the bed, looking straight into Easton's eyes, "Easton, Fiona just told me that you don't want me to separate with your father.”

"Did she tell you?"

Easton did not deny. As their child, shouldn't he hoped that they would always be together and that the three of them would be fine?

"Well, I'm sorry, Easton. I've been neglecting your thoughts lately.”

Meredith apologized immediately, but then said, "But your father and I should not be like as you hope. Before we were equal, our relationship would never be equal.”

These words made Easton dizzy.

Meredith thought for a moment, "Just like today, when you introduced yourself to people, you said that you were Derek's son. If you said that you were Meredith's son, no one would talk to you. So, I want to wait until one day when you can subconsciously say that you are my son, then we can talk about so-called feelings.”

Easton understood a little, "But, I think everyone else wants their husband to be as strong as possible.”

"But if they don't have the ability, then their awesome husband will dislike them gradually."
