The Good Girl's Revenge

Derek himself did not know.

His feelings for Meredith were complicated. He did care about her, but after all, there was still something between them

He did not know how to accept that child. At this moment, he could still pretend that the child did not exist, but in the future...

Derek was a very possessive person and had a strong obsession with cleanliness about his things. Once his things were touched by others, he would not want them anymore.

But Meredith...

Seeing Derek's hesitation, Asher became bolder. "Perhaps, the novelty will soon wear off. Sometimes you need an outsider's perspective, especially for affection.”

Derek looked at him coldly.

Asher rubbed his nose awkwardly. “So do you like her or not? If you like Meredith, I'll try to talk to Chloe and tell her not to focus on you anymore.”

Asher felt that if Chloe kept being persistent like this, once she didn't be with Derek in the end, she might do something stupid.

"The relationship between Meredith and me doesn't matter. For Chloe, after we broke up, we are just friends. You guys did this for the first time. I can let it go, but I don't want to know you do it again.”

After that, Derek got out of here, not caring about Asher's flattery.

The question Asher had just asked made him become entangled in a conflict for a moment.

For Meredith, did he just have temporary novelty because she was the only woman around him and he had the illusion? Or did he really like her?

At this moment, Jameson called him and said he wanted to ask him out for a chat.

Derek thought about it. Jameson was experienced in love and knew more about relationships between men and women. Maybe he could ask Jameson, so he agreed once in a blue moon. Meredith returned home in a huff and was even more depressed when she saw the apartment that Derek had provided her.

Damn Derek, he forced her to move here as if he was giving alms. Who needed that!

Thinking about it, Meredith began to pack her things. Fortunately, she had not canceled the lease of the house she rented. Even if Derek had driven her out of here now, she would not have no shelter. Thinking about it, Meredith intended to leave here directly. She packed up her a few belongings, and took a taxi back to her small one-bedroom apartment.

She also had dignity and moral integrity. There was no need to owe Derek a favor in order to save the rent, which made her seem to be inferior to him.

Sulking in the taxi, Meredith heard her cell phone ring again.

It was Parker.

These days, he had been working on developing overseas business for his company abroad while sending people out to find Meredith's mother.

Unfortunately, the privacy of patients in foreign sanatoriums was protected strictly. Even though Parker had deployed his most resources, the effect was little.

The best way was that Meredith investigated this with her identity as a daughter, but she was still pregnant and was not suitable for such a busy job, so she could only postpone it.

"I see. Thank you, Parker.” After hearing these words, Meredith was a little disappointed, but she felt more grateful to Parker.

The last time in the hospital, the subordinates Derek brought over almost beat him ill, but he was still trying so hard to help her find her mother's whereabouts. She could not ask for more from him. "Meredith, don't worry. We can't rush into doing such a thing.”

Parker felt guilty about Meredith. After all, all the bitterness she had suffered now had something to do with his decision, so he wanted to fulfill her request.

However, he still didn't seem to be strong enough, at least, he could not fulfill her expectations perfectly. Thinking about it, Parker was a little disappointed.

"I know, thank you." Meredith forced out a smile and pretended to say in a relaxing manner.

But in her heart, she felt more and more uneasy.

Recently, the Masons had been especially quiet and never dared to trouble her, but after all, it was for Derek's sake. The Masons was afraid that she would ask Derek to retaliate against the Masons, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

However, if Derek and Chloe reconcile, due to their popularity, they would release the news soon, and then, she had no leverage to threaten the Masons!

In that case, what those heartless beasts in the Masons would do to her mom?

Meredith clenched her fingers and looked at the seat in front of her with anger and unwillingness. Parker comforted her a few more words, then carefully asked about the father of her child. At the hospital, he only knew that Meredith was pregnant, but he did not know the detailed information. Did Meredith have someone she liked? Who was the father of that child? Was it the man in the room that day? If so, why did she keep this child of unknown origin, if not...

Had she found the man she loved yet?

Meredith found the topic extremely embarrassing. Having this child was just an accident. Now, although she knew that the child's father was Derek, she could not say it at all and could only digest the result on her own.

"Sorry, I... This is my secret.” Meredith could only answer in this way, and her heart was still a little uneasy.

After all, almost no man could be able to accept a woman with premarital pregnancy. It was even harder for them to accept since she even refused to say who the child's father was.

"It's okay." Although Parker was a little disappointed, "Then, I'll only ask you one question. Do you like the father of the child? In the future, do you plan to be with him..."

Parker selfishly hoped that the answer was negative. After spending so much time together, he could not tell whether he felt more guilty and wanted to compensate for her, or he just had feelings for her.

However, he wanted to be by her side every time she was sad, to shield this girl who he cared about from the bitterness, so that she would not suffer any grievances.

"No, no..." Meredith answered without hesitation.

At first, because of Derek's kindness to her, she did have fantasies. She thought she might be able to tell him about it, but now, when she thought of Chloe and the people who wanted Chloe and Derek to be together...

She shouldn't have any more fantasies. Derek could have a child with Chloe openly and legally, so why would he want the baby in her womb? Maybe, in order to avoid future problems, he would force her to abort the baby.

Hearing what Meredith said, Parker probably understood what was going on. He clenched his phone. "Meredith, I'll take care of you and your baby in the future. I've already arranged for subordinates to deal with business here. It won't take long for me to come back. Let me take care of you, okay?"
