Chloe?
The name was a complete surprise to Derek.
In his opinion, Chloe had always been elegant and polite. To her, maintaining etiquette was like an instinct. He could hardly imagine the scene she fought with Meredith.
When Meredith finished speaking, she saw Derek's pensive look. The man did not say anything immediately. Instead, he kept thinking.
Perhaps, he didn't believe her as much as she thought. After all, Chloe was his childhood sweetheart he had been with for more than ten years, and his former lover.
Meredith felt as if she had been poured cold water on her from head to toe. For a moment, she thought Derek would help her out.
Unexpectedly, she overestimated her importance in his heart.
Derek was silent for a moment. It seemed that he really needed to find Chloe again to stop her from doing such meaningless things.
Thinking about it, Derek looked up again. "I'll help you apply the medicine."
When Meredith heard him say this, she only felt that Derek was changing the subject. She felt uncomfortable somehow, so she pushed the man's chest. "No, I'll do it myself."
Sure enough, Derek still believed in Chloe rather than her. Well, how could a woman who looked like a princess fuss about her who was so lowly?
Derek and she were never in the same world. Chloe was the woman who was qualified to stand beside him.
"Stop fooling around. I'll help you apply the medicine." Derek looked at Meredith's awkward appearance and forcefully snatched the ointment from her hand.
Just as he was about to take off Meredith's clothes and apply some medicine, she suddenly glared at him. "It's not good to do like this. I also need privacy. Besides, if she finds out about it, she might come here again and make a scene."
As soon as Meredith finished speaking, the man chuckled. "Are you jealous?"
He understood why Meredith felt wronged just now. This woman had a lot on her mind.
"Huh, you think too much. I just... Don't want to cause trouble for myself."
After Meredith said it, it was too late to regret it. She was indeed uncomfortable, but she did not want to show it in front of Derek.
She didn't want him to think that she was sentimental.
"I'll take care of this. After a while, she should be going abroad and won't bother you again."
After Meredith heard Derek's words, she didn't become happier but a little more resentful.
It turned out that it was only after Chloe left that she could live in peace. She was really special to Derek, right?
"It has nothing to do with me. I just hope that she, the lady from a rich family, will not haggle with a lowly woman like me. It will degrade her."
The smile in Derek's eyes turned cold when he heard Meredith's words which seemed to be a little self-deprecating. Suddenly, he turned her face, which had been avoiding, towards himself.
"You really think so?"
"Of course."
Meredith said angrily.
"In the future, don't use such words to describe yourself."
Derek pursed his lips and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
For some reason, his heart ached when he heard Meredith say that.
