The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 207

Derek relaxed a little after seeing Meredith agree. "It's getting late. You should rest too."

"Well, you should take care of yourself over there... And..." Meredith thought about the paternity test. "When you come back, I have something very important to tell you."

Something important? Derek was a little confused, but since Meredith said so, he didn't have to disappoint her. "Okay, I got it."

Meredith nodded, hung up the phone, and then looked at the baby in her belly. He seemed to notice that his mother was in a good mood, and his little foot kicked her.

"Well..."

Meredith was caught off guard. It was the first time the baby had shown his existence like this. She was happy and wanted to share this joy with Derek.

"Do you miss daddy too? Daddy will be back soon."

Meredith muttered in a low voice, holding her cell phone. For the first time, she had the idea that time should pass quickly so that she could tell Derek the news as early as possible.

...

After Derek hung up the phone, he devoted himself to his work. He had to finish his business as soon as possible and then went to see Meredith.

Although he had only been away for a day, he had already begun to miss that woman.

Moreover, the secret she mentioned inexplicably made him look forward to it.

Time passed quickly as he focused on his work.

At night, when Derek returned home, he saw Chloe, who was having a good talk with Mr. Xavier, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Derek's back? Come to see what you're wearing that day?"

Mr. Xavier felt that this was a rare happy event for the Xaviers, which could wash away the recent misfortune, so he personally went to manage this engagement.

Derek was not in the mood. Why he agreed to get engaged was only because he didn't want Violet to get hurt. He didn't have any sense of participation in the details of the ceremony.

"I'm a little tired today. You can make the decision. I don't care."

Derek found an excuse and was about to go upstairs. Mr. Xavier looked angry. "Stop. This is your great event. How can you be so perfunctory?"

"Grandpa, calm down, please. Derek is so tired from work."

Chloe was aware of Derek's perfunctory manner, but she explained for Derek with an elegant and dignified smile.

Derek nodded. "She agreed, so I'll go up first."

After that, regardless of their expressions, he left directly.

"Ah."

Mr. Xavier felt melancholy and patted Chloe on the back of her hand. "We've wronged you."

Chloe shook her head and looked at the man's tall back. She did not care about these formalities. Although she was disappointed, as long as she could be with him again, she could endure no matter how aggrieved she was!

Seeing that Chloe was so reasonable, Mr. Xavier showed more love and pity for her. "Don't worry, if Derek is not good to you in the future. Just tell me, I can be useful!"

Hearing Mr. Xavier's words, Chloe was delighted. After all, Old Master was a respectable elder. Winning his favor would make her relationship with Derek much smoother.
