The Good Girl's Revenge

Easton was lying on her bed, playing with the sheets.

For a moment, Meredith doubted her own eyes. How could it be...

Didn't Derek take the child away?

Just as Meredith was astonished, the door behind her was suddenly slammed shut by a large, slender hand. And with a bang, her confused thoughts were pulled back.

Derek came out of the bathroom. Water was still dripping from his hands. It seemed that he had just heard the noise made by her as she came back, so he came out.

"How did you..."

Meredith was startled. She spoke subconsciously, but suddenly, she remembered something.

She forgot to change her voice...

"Sure enough... It's you..."

How could Derek not recognize that this was Meredith's voice? He felt that he had missed the voice countless times, and he had recalled the voice countless times in his mind.

Even if there were more spring, summer, autumn and winter, he would not forget it.

Meredith's body tensed up in an instant and her mind went blank. How could Derek stand in front of her?

She was exposed. No, she shouldn't have...

Meredith pinched herself. She felt that maybe she was too tired recently, so she had hallucinations. However, the man's face in front of her was so close and so clear, and it was different from the cold, repulsive cold of today.

Derek's handsome face had a tinge of eagerness, and there was a burning desire in his eyes that she did not want to guess.

Derek looked closely at Meredith. The make-up on her face made her face not like her at all. No wonder she dared to appear in front of him.

But fortunately, he didn't miss it. It was really her.

Meredith was not dead yet. She stood in front of him alive like this.

This feeling even made him breathe with some caution. He was afraid that this was a dream, and once he did something, the dream would wake up.

After a while, Meredith came back to her senses. She realized that her disguise had lost its meaning, and it was useless to pretend in front of Derek.

So, she immediately took a step back, turned around and grabbed the doorknob, trying to open the door and escape from here.

The joy in Derek's eyes dimmed a little when he saw her actions. The first thing she thought of was running away from her?

He reached out and held the doorknob. How could a weak woman like Meredith be able to resist the strength of an adult man’s hand?

Only then did she realize that she could not escape from here.

And now, because of Xavier's action, Derek covered her whole body in his arms. The ambiguous feeling made her heart skip a beat.

It was as if Meredith was stung by something. She tried to get away from him and distance herself from Derek.

But how could Derek let her go so easily? With both hands on the door, he kept Meredith staying in his arms.

Meredith lowered her head and clenched her fists. Her teeth bit her lips unconsciously. She didn't want to look into Derek's eyes. She had nothing to say to this man.

"Can you move?”

Meredith spoke coldly, suppressing pain and anger.

With Derek around, she didn't want to stay here any longer.

Derek's eyes became furious.

He thought that when Meredith saw him, she would be angry, sad, and, perhaps she may slap him. He could endure all of these.

He owed her this. And as long as she lived a good life, it didn't matter even if she wanted to beat him or scold him.

But Meredith's reaction was indifferent.

It was as if she had never cared about him before, and the coldness chilled his heart.

"Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

Derek's voice suppressed something, but Meredith did not want to explore what was the thing he suppressed.

She no longer had the strength to chase Derek.

"I'm not interested. Please, get out of the way.”

Meredith made up her mind. She pushed Derek's body, trying to get out of here and get out of this ambiguous atmosphere, but before her hand landed on Derek, the man suddenly grabbed her arm Derek used so much strength that Meredith immediately felt a rush of pain.

“Let me go!"

Meredith struggled, and Derek's actions made her recall some bad memories.

The memories of being imprisoned and forced made her face show pain.

However, Derek was almost blinded by anger. He didn't want to see this woman ignore him. He would rather let her hit him than let her run away from him like this all the time.

Derek yanked Meredith's slender body into his arms and pressed her body against his chest.

"Why are you pretending to be dead? You don't want to see me that much?"

Derek told Meredith to listen to his heartbeat. He said that word by word and he said in pain.

She had no idea how he had come over these days. He was like a walking dead. He lost everything. Even if this was to punish him for all the mistakes he made, it was too cruel.

"Well, isn't that good for everyone?"

Meredith gradually calmed down from her previous panic.

Under such an overwhelming physical gap, Meredith understood that no matter what she did, it would be difficult for her to break free. Simply, she would not struggle anymore.

However, this kind of close contact made her feel uncomfortable

"You, you got what you wanted. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Meredith said coldly.

Whether it was a qualified fiancée, the benefits of a Family Marriage, or a child, he had already plundered them.

She was the loser who lost everything, and in the end, the man had to blame her like a victim. Wasn't that so ridiculous?

The understatement sounded harsh to Derek.

Only then did he realize that Meredith always seemed to know how to provoke him in the fastest and simplest way possible.

She said that he got what he wanted. But she was the only one he wanted.

He probably never understood and knew what she wanted.

Looking at the man's cold face, Meredith couldn't help but laugh. She thought that Derek's appearance was really funny.

Obviously, it was all his choice. Now, why did he have to act like that he was hurt?

Shouldn't he be satisfied?

Just as the two of them looked at each other without opening their mouths to break the silence, Parker's voice rang out.

"Meredith, it's almost time. We should go."

Hearing Parker's words, Derek's eyes became dangerous.

Go?

Where were they going?

Meredith's panic just now had lessened a little. Parker's presence outside had calmed her down much.

Sensing Meredith's change, Derek's heart burned with jealousy.

Did that man reassure her with just a single sentence?

Meredith looked up and said faintly, “I'm sorry. I'm leaving here today. Please, let me go."
