Chloe's good mood was almost dampened by his cold attitude.
She thought that after Derek and Meredith separated, he would get along well with her, but she didn't expect that he was still indifferent to her...
"Derek, watch your attitude!" Mr. Xavier, who was not far away, noticed that Chloe's expression was strange. When he came over, he saw Derek's expressionless face.
It was really unreasonable that this brat still wore a cold look when seeing his own engagement scene.
"Chloe, you go over there for a while. I'll give him a talking-to."
Chloe agreed obediently. Mr. Xavier walked to an unnoticed corner with his cell phone, "You've done almost everything abroad, haven't you? You should come back soon. Even if you don't necessarily participate in the preliminary work, you can't be absent that day of engagement, can you?"
Derek rubbed his brows, "I still have things to deal with here."
Now that Meredith's problem was still unresolved, how could he leave?
"Stop making excuses. Do you think I really don't know what you are thinking?"
Mr. Xavier hit the floor angrily with his walking stick, "Anyway, break up with that woman as soon as possible. Otherwise, you know the consequences..."
After saying that, Mr. Xavier hung up the phone.
Derek was seething with anger, but in the end, he couldn't vent it on his grandfather, so he could only throw his phone away.
Mr. Xavier sighed on the other side. He didn't expect to use that thing for Derek's sake...
The distant memory was retrieved, and he seemed to remember the scene of being abroad, but it was also thanks to that person that Derek was pulled back from the precipice.
"What a worrisome fellow." Mr. Xavier shook his head, not wanting to recall the past.
At this moment, a phone call came. As Mr. Xavier took the call, his face turned set and hard.
...
Meredith told Amelia the good news that she didn't have to be discharged for the time being.
Amelia was a little confused as she listened to the news. In her opinion, things weren't that simple, but she didn't want to disappoint her daughter when she saw that her daughter was happy about it rather than so sad because of the breakup.
"That's great. Don't worry. When mom gets better, I won't lie there and become a drag on you. I'll definitely find a way to pay the money back as soon as possible."
Amelia said, "And that Derek's money, we will pay it back, too. Mom doesn't need that kind of money. We don't owe him."
Meredith nodded. She had the same intention. Seeing that her mother was in a positive mood, she relaxed a little.
While they were talking, Meredith's cell phone rang. It was a message from Derek.
"Meet at eight o'clock today. I have something to tell you."
Meredith's face darkened. What was the matter?
What else could he do?
Did he figure it out and come to her because he didn't want to waste so much money on her? Or, did he want to sign an agreement or something to keep her close-mouthed about this secret relationship?
Meredith couldn't help but sneer and clench her phone, "Okay."
She wanted to see what has Derek got up in his sleeve.
