Besides this, Derek could not think of any other possibility for a moment.
Meredith's attitude changed after she came back from the bathroom. He wondered if Meredith had met someone or heard something.
She lowered her eyes and said slowly after a while, "I heard that your mother likes Miss Baker, who lives in your house, very much."
Derek understood. He didn't know that Caroline was also at the auction. He had thought that she heard something.
"Meredith, I've told you that you don't need to care about what my mother says or does. I want you, and no one can change my mind."
Meredith sneered, "No one can change your mind? It's not the truth."
Derek's face darkened. He furrowed. Meredith was now like a hedgehog. No matter what he said, it didn't work at all. He really felt tired.
Meredith also stopped talking and they remained silent for a moment.
The next day.
As she had expected, there were a lot of reports about that Derek attended the auction with a beauty and they acted intimately on the spot, and he admitted publicly that he was pursuing the beauty and so on.
As soon as Meredith entered the company, everyone was looking at her curiously.
She pursed her lips. Thinking of what she saw on her phone this morning, she totally ignored them and walked in.
In Xavier Group.
"Grandma, grandma, mom makes the headline."
Easton was sitting at the table drinking milk. With a milk mustache around his lips, he was very cute. He caught a glimpse of the headlines in the newspaper and immediately shouted, afraid that others wouldn't hear him.
Caroline paused and also looked at the newspaper. As expected, she saw the picture of Derek and Meredith standing together.
But that wasn't the point. She looked at Easton asked in surprised, "Easton, what did you... say?"
Easton pouted and snorted at her. He ignored her and jumped off the stool and ran to Violet, "Grandma, look, my mother makes the headline."
Violet's face was very gloomy, and after hearing her grandson's words, she felt even more unhappy.
"Mom? Easton, I've told you not to call her like that."
"Hmph, but she's my mom."
The little guy was displeased. He pouted and retorted, then glared at Caroline and ran upstairs.
The two women at the dinner table had lost their appetite.
Caroline was shocked. She felt that things were once again out of her control.
Yesterday, in the bathroom of the auction, she deliberately said something to that woman. And seeing that the woman looked like she was struck out of her wits, she felt very proud.
Such a useless woman was not her match at all. She had thought that she didn't need to pay attention to her.
But she never expected that Easton would admit that woman as his mom. Thinking of what that little bastard did to her, her face turned sullen.
How could Caroline bear that?
