The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 422

In the afternoon.

As expected, the previous Director Smith had arrived. During the handover, she was nice, telling

Meredith anything that she didn't understand in detail.

Director Smith would come to Meredith's office every day for the next week and teach her personally,

trying to get Meredith to get familiar with the work as soon as possible.

After work, she gave Meredith some advice on design, which was a surprise.

Although her ability was limited to B Department at Xavier Group's headquarters, she was still a rare

teacher for Meredith who was not professional.

Derek ordered Director Smith to do so, which was why she was so dutiful. She rarely had chances to

meet Mr. Xavier, so she had to do a good job for him.

The next few days, as she had expected, many people stared at her with different eyes as long as she

walked out of the Design Department.

Some were curious, some were malicious, disdainful...

This was a situation she had experienced before in J City, so this time, she adapted well. She ignored

them and did what she was supposed to do.

This week, because of Director Smith's generous guidance, Meredith was very quick at her work. She

was very familiar with the situation of the B Department, as well as the performance in recent years and

some large projects.

She was much more relaxed.

As for Ms. Ross, her attitude was totally changed this week. She showed great respect to Meredith and

didn't even dare to make a sound during the meeting, probably because she was afraid that Meredith

would pick on her.

For several days, she didn't see Derek, and he didn't look for her, nor did he contact her. To be honest,

Meredith felt a little uncomfortable, and when she came back to his senses, she couldn't help but

complain.

After work one day, she drove back to the neighborhood where she lived. Naturally, the car was offered

by Derek, like the house. She was unable to refuse him.

As soon as she went upstairs, she was stunned.

In front of her apartment stood a child and an adult, looking at her in unison with pitiful eyes.

"Mom, you're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Easton immediately threw himself at

Meredith. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She picked up her son and looked at Derek. "Why are you here?" she asked.

Derek took her bag with a smile and said, "Our son misses you. Well, I miss you too, so we came

over."

Meredith pursed her lips and opened the door without answering.

She sat on the sofa with her son.

Derek offered to make dinner on his initiative, but...

"Meredith, Easton wants to eat tomatoes and eggs. Should I put eggs first or tomatoes?"

"Meredith, how do you cook? If I turn on the electric cooker, I don't have to keep an eye on it, do I?"

"Meredith, do you want lotus root or lotus root slices?"

"Meredith..."

She rolled her eyes helplessly, then got up and walked over. Looking at the mess in the kitchen, she

said, expressionless, "Let me do it."

"No, you've been working so hard all day. I'll make it. Just wait to eat."

Meredith was speechless.

"When do you think I can eat?"

Derek smiled, "Well, you make dinner and I'll give you a hand. It saves time. What do you think?"

"No, leave me alone. Don't get in the way," said Meredith with a frown.

"How can I get in the way? Let's do it together. It'll definitely save time. It's getting late. Our son is

hungry. He's still young. It's not good for his health, is it, son?"

After Derek finished speaking, he quickly asked Easton for confirmation.

Easton was very cooperative, covering his stomach. He lied on the sofa and said, "Yes, mom, I'm so

hungry."

Meredith: "..."

In the end, Derek got his way and stayed in the kitchen to help out.

Both of them were wearing aprons. They shared out the work. Derek, who couldn't do anything, was

now a handy helper.

Derek was satisfied that they looked like a family of three.

At the dinner table, Derek was obviously preoccupied, looking at Meredith from time to time. Meredith

put down her chopsticks and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"No, I didn't mean to say anything. Just eat. This lotus root is good. Eat more." Derek picked up food

for her.

Meredith said in a flat tone, "If you don't say it now, don't say it again."

Derek: "..."

He sighed in his heart. Ever since Meredith regained her memory, he felt himself more and more soft.

When he faced Meredith, he had no dignity at all.

"It's not a big deal. I told you in J City that my grandfather wanted to see you. He wanted to ask you to

come back to the Xaviers with me when you are free ."

Meredith was silent.

In fact, she was not surprised at all. Since she had regained her memory and now had Easton, she

knew very well that she had to go there in any case.

Meredith wanted to refuse subconsciously, but she changed her mind at the thought of something.

"Does your grandfather know who I really am?"

"No, he doesn't know you're Easton's mother yet. I haven't said that yet." He wouldn't have dared to

say it without talking to Meredith beforehand.

"What about your mother? Doesn't she want to see me?" Meredith said calmly.

Derek's face flashed with embarrassment. "Let's just meet grandpa. If you don't want to see the others,

we won't see them."

She looked over and said, "So your mom actually asked to see me, right?"

Derek nodded.

Meredith's heart flashed with a hint of sarcasm. Derek's mother didn't know who she was yet, so she

probably thought Meredith wanted to married into the Xaviers for a better life.

Probably she wanted to remind Meredith up not to overestimate herself.

Meredith wondered how surprised his mother would be if she knew it was her.

Meredith wanted to say something, but she bit back the words when she saw Easton, thinking it'd be

not good to say it in the presence of her son.

"When?"

Derek looked at her and said, "Next weekend, any day is fine."

Then none of them spoke again.

Derek wanted to spend more time with Meredith, but when they finished eating, he helped to put away

dishes.

He held his son and said reluctantly, "Then, I'll take Easton back."

"Well, be careful on the road," Meredith said lightly.

In fact, Derek wanted to stay here as it was already so late. Thinking that Meredith would definitely not

agree, he still didn't say it out loud.
