The Good Girl's Revenge

"That's what I should do. You can do anything you like, and I won't interfere. If you don't like someone, you don't need to care about her. If you don't like doing something, then just don't do it.” Derek said immediately, afraid that he would speak too slowly.

Meredith, ".."

She pursed her lips. She didn't know what to say about Derek's attitude. Anyway, that was his biological mother.

Although she thought so in her heart, she did say those words on purpose. She did not expect that Derek would say these words, and now she did not know what to do.

"Meredith, I told you that you can believe me. I will resolve any obstacle between us. I just hope you can trust me and not reject me so quickly, okay?"

Meredith looked at him. Deep in Derek's dark eyes, there was nervousness and uneasiness, and even a tinge of imperceptible fear. She lowered her eyes slightly.

His look, undeniably, softened her... heart.

"We'll talk about it later,” she said softly.

Derek heaved a sigh of relief. Although Meredith didn't agree, she didn't refuse. As long as she didn't refuse, there was still hope for a change.

Before, he would have done everything he could to get Meredith to stay. But now, he did not dare to go overboard.

He could only watch her leave, but before she left, he asked the housekeeper to quickly prepare his son's daily necessities. Then he took two suitcases and sent his son to Meredith.

Even if Meredith rejected Derek, she was grateful for his actions.

After regaining her memory, she did not want to be separated from her son at all. It was her dream to live with her son.

Easton could tell that something was wrong between the two of them, but it was improper for him to ask. He just obediently followed his mother and left. Of course, he was happy to be able to live with his mother.

As for his father, he could only express his sympathy.

Inside the small box of the coffee shop, there were large french windows and the whole room was bright.

"My god, you've changed so much. I just haven't seen you for few days, but you are totally different from before when I saw you just now.”

"It turns out that you have recovered your memory. Your real name is Meredith. Sounds good. It's much better than Nora. Sheldon and his family are evil. It's an insult to have the same last name as them."

Penelope and Meredith sat on the sofa, with coffee and a few desserts on the small table in front of them. The soothing and pleasant music flowed slowly in the room.

Meredith smiled and said nothing. After regaining her memory, she was more broad-minded about Sheldon.

If she had not known the lies the Sheldon family had told her, she would have still been grateful to the Joneses, but at this moment, there was no need.

Although they lied to her, they did take care of her for the past five years, which could make up for their harm to her.

Meredith only knew Penelope, her only close friend. Except for her, Meredith really didn't know whom she could talk about her confusion with.

Penelope looked at Meredith in shock. She was usually unconcerned and careless and had never suffered any difficulty.

Meredith's story was as complicated as a TV play.

Penelope really did not expect that her friend's previous experience would be so ups and downs, sorrowful and tactful.

"Do you think I should forgive Derek? Would it be a mistake for me to be with him? Would it be good for both of us to be apart?”

Meredith lowered her head and stirred the coffee. Her voice was very soft, almost unable to hear. She did not sure whether she was asking Penelope or herself.

Penelope thought for a while, "Actually, I can't empathize with your heart just by listening to your story, so maybe my advice would be improper.”

"To be honest, you have Easton, which means that you can't be completely separated no matter whether you are together or not in the future.”

"Actually, I advise you to be together with Mr. Xavier. He's a powerful president. According to your description, if he didn't really love you, he wouldn't have done that at all.”

"Since you ask this question, it means that you still love him and have feelings for him which maybe even deeper than you think.”

"In that case, let's make an analogy.”

"If you don't forgive him and are determined to separate with him, then you, Mr. Xavier, and little Easton, the three of you, will not be happy. Moreover, Easton is still so young, so he would be damaged most."

"In other words, if you forgive him and you choose to be together with him, Mr. Xavier and Easton will be happy. As for you, you will be eased if you follow your heart."

Meredith couldn't bear to give her a blank look, "According to you, if I don't choose the second one, I'll be blamed by God."

Penelope smiled, "Think about it. Even if there is no love, many couples would comprise and not separate for their children.”

"But your situation is much better. Except for your son, you have deep feelings for each other. Then there is no reason to separate.”

"As for the external factors, didn't Mr. Xavier say he would handle them? Then just leave them to him to deal with."

"Anyway, you're single now and you don't like someone else. So what if you have a chance with Mr. Xavier?"

"In any case, when he meets your requirements, you can break up with him as your will and then choose a good match. It is you that control everything, so there is no need to worry so much.”

"All you need to do now is to relax. You don't have to worry about the things related to Mr. Xavier, Mr. Xavier's mother, Mr. Xavier's family, or anything else. You just need to do what you like. This time, no one could harm you.”

"As long as Mr. Xavier does something wrong and makes you unhappy, you can abandon him. It's a simple thing. So, it's Mr. Xavier who should feel nervous and worried, instead of you."

Meredith couldn't help but chuckle. Penelope's words lightened the burden in her heart, even if her words might be unjustified.

As Penelope said, no matter what would happen in the future, she just needed to treat herself well and not let herself be wronged.

If Derek knew that Penelope not only comforted Meredith but also created more hope and possibility between the two of them.

Perhaps he would be so grateful that he would tie Damian up and send him to Penelope to let her vent her anger on him.
