The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 113

Derek dodged Chloe's arm without a trace. "No. Just picking you up. How can it be troublesome?"

When Xavier Jiyan dodged Chloe's hand, she was a little disappointed. But then she quickly packed up her upset. "That's good. I was worried that you would be unhappy because I suddenly came back early."

Derek helplessly shook his head. No matter what, Chloe was his friend, and he wasn't that stingy.

When the two of them got into the car, Derek said, "Where are you going to stay?"

Shortly after Chloe left the country, the Bennetts also moved out of the family business.

"I'm waiting for you to arrange it." Chloe smiled. She wouldn't have come back at all if it wasn't for Derek.

"Okay." Derek didn't say anything. Xavier Group owned a lot of high-end hotel, so Chloe could naturally stay in.

"I'll take you to the hotel."

Derek quickly asked Damian to book a suite in a luxurious five-star hotel.

Chloe was not very happy, but her face could not tell. "I thought you would take me to your home to visit grandpa and aunt."

When the two of them were dating back then, she often visited the Xaviers and had a good relationship with the elders.

"It's too late now, another time."

Derek didn't have that idea at all. Now that they weren't in a relationship anymore, it was too ambiguous to bring Chloe home this late.

Seeing that Derek didn't have such intention, Chloe was a little discouraged. She was tired from the journey, so she quickly fell asleep in her seat.

...

At nine o' clock in the evening

Meredith looked at the clock and wanted to listen to the prenatal music to relax before going to bed, but Derek and what the proprietress said to her today kept stucking in her mind.

She didn't know what that man was doing now.

Meredith tried to distract herself again. After lying down for a while, she couldn't help but take out her phone and call Derek.

She just... just thought of it as her concern for the man's work.

Meredith found a good reason for doing so and then pressed the number.

Derek was driving when he heard the phone ring. Chloe, who was almost asleep, muttered a bit as if she was annoyed by the noise.

Derek glanced at the name and saw that it was Meredith, so he answered.

"What's wrong?"

"Um... I got home and suddenly remembered that you said you had an emergency, so is everything okay now?"

Meredith was a little embarrassed by asking the question. As she spoke, her face was blushing again.

Derek unconsciously smiled. "Everything is fine. There's no need to worry."

Meredith reddened more as she answered. "I was just afraid... That you might run into some trouble. Since everything is fine now, forget it."

All of a sudden, she felt that the purpose of her phone call was pretty obvious...

Derek was about to say something, but Chloe had already opened her eyes. She looked at the man who had gentle eyes and was smiling faintly. She raised her guard unnoticed.
