Meredith hid back, but still felt insecure. She glanced at Derek again, "I'm going to the bathroom."
How could Derek not see through what she was thinking? Was she hiding from him?
Was she afraid, that he would touch her? Or was it because of that man? He didn't let her remember yesterday?
The man's dark eyes were tinged with anger.
He strode forward, pulled Meredith back, and pinned her down on the bed.
Meredith was startled and looked up at the man's furious eyes.
Feeling uneasy at his naked gaze, Meredith immediately looked away and said calmly, "What? Do I even need to report to Mr. Xavier to go to the bathroom now?"
Derek stared at her. "Meredith, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Are you hiding from me?"
Meredith's eyes flashed, but Derek suddenly let go of his hand. "I advise you to stop being so sentimental. Seeing the wild seed in your belly, I feel you're dirty."
She had no right to be afraid of him. The Xaviers had never lacked her food and clothing, and he had never betrayed that short marriage apart from the accident when he was drugged.
Even if it was just a contract marriage with a purpose, Meredith not only messed up with other men when they were husband and wife but even... Had a baby.
How could she have the face to stay away from him?
Meredith's heart sank. Even though she had heard all kinds of bad things about Derek, his cold words now still made her heartache.
Dirty?
He said she was dirty? She clearly had nothing to do with anyone except him. How could he say that about her?
Meredith strode into the bathroom, holding back her grievances and discomfort. She saw her disheveled face in the mirror and clenched her fists.
Everything seemed to be back to the beginning, and Derek was the high and mighty Young Master of the Xaviers, who used the sharpest words to shatter her dignity.
Meredith stayed in the bathroom for a while, then patted her face with cold water and hid all her expressions. She couldn't let Derek see her weakness.
...
After Meredith went into the bathroom, Derek was also felt upset and went out for a smoking.
He was never a man who indulged in lust. He had always had a clean mind and few desires for women. When Chloe asked him to keep her first night until their wedding day, then he never touched her.
Meredith was his first woman and the first woman who could make him lose control of himself a few times.
However, when he thought about the child and the identity of Parker, he felt very disappointed.
Derek could not help but feel aggrieved at the thought of this woman having sex with another man.
After smoking a cigarette, Derek felt his anger abate a little and went back.
Meredith had already come out. Sensing the movement behind her, she looked up at him.
Just now, when she thought about them in the bathroom, she couldn't help but wonder, since Derek despised her so much and thought she was so dirty, why did she come?
If she hated a person to this extent, she was afraid that even seeing him would be like torture.
"Mr. Xavier, I have something to say." Meredith calmed herself down and looked at Derek.
"You just said you despise me for being dirty, right?"
