She didn't expect that she would be with the same person twice after so much happened, which was really unpredictable.
Mr. Xavier had prepared to say something, but now he didn't know how to start. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare at his grandson.
"It's such a big deal. I can't believe you're hiding it from me. Hmph." He thought to himself.
"If that's the case, you can wed in a civil ceremony, and then pick a date to hold your wedding. It should have been done long ago." Mr. Xavier combed his beard and said so.
He did not have too strict requirements for the choice of his granddaughter-in-law. Her personality was the priority and her family background was lesser. After all, there was no need for the Xaviers to marry a woman from a rich family to make things better.
Derek and Easton's eyes lit up and they all looked at Meredith. The anticipation in their eyes was identical.
Meredith did not look at her son deliberately but lower her eyelids.
Mr. Xavier was the mighty existence in the Xaviers, and once he made up his mind, it was basically a foregone conclusion.
But strangely, after he said that, Meredith did not feel very happy in her heart.
"Sir, I don't want to marry into the Xaviers for the time being. We... We'll talk about it later."
In an instant, the light in Derek's eyes dimmed. He stared at Meredith, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. He couldn't help but walk over and hold her hand firmly.
Because if he didn't, he felt like Meredith was getting further and further away from him.
Mr. Xavier was stunned for a moment. He might not understand what Meredith was thinking at all. His face immediately darkened. Nobody should underestimate this old man because of his age.
The demeanor in his bones suddenly attacked Meredith, "You don't want to get married? Give me a reason."
Her brows tightened, and the resistance in her heart was instantly aroused. She only expressed her opinion, and Mr. Xavier's face completely changed.
"Oh, why should I tolerate the arrogance from the Xaviers?" She thought.
"I don't want to. There is no reason for that." For the first time since she came in, her face had turned gloomy.
"Hmph."
Mr. Xavier had been a powerful man for most of his life. He had always been a man of his word. Meredith was the second person who dared to disobey him, except for his grandson, Derek.
"You and Derek have a son, and you don't want to marry him? Do you want to abandon your son?"
Meredith subconsciously held Easton's little hand tightly, "Of course not, I would never abandon my son. Since he is my son, then whether I marry Derek or not, Easton is my son. This cannot be changed."
Mr. Xavier sneered, "Young girl, don't be so naive. Easton grew up in my the Xaviers since he was born. You can't take him with you with just one word."
"If you hadn't married into our the Xaviers, of course, you would have nothing to do with our heir of the Xaviers. I'm not threatening you."
Meredith's heart tightened, "What do you mean?"
Derek saw that she was on the defensive again and knew that if his grandpa continued pushing her, the situation would only get worse.
"That's enough, grandpa. You promised me you wouldn't make things difficult."
Mr. Xavier glared at him angrily, "Have you told me who she is? Have you told me that she doesn't want to marry you? You little bastard."
