"Do me a favor, then I'll forgive you."
Derek squinted. Easton looked at Derek and thought that Derek was a scheming fox, and he was the poor, helpless little sheep.
"You'll..."
Derek leaned closer to Easton's ear and whispered a few words.
After listening, Easton glanced at him. "Dad, is it really appropriate for you to utilize me like this?"
"You are my son. It's your duty to help me."
Derek said as if it was merited for Easton to help him. Easton also had no intention to complain.
After a while, Easton returned to the room with a glass of milk.
"Mom, this is hot milk. You can have a drink and you can sleep better at night. Besides, drinking milk before sleep can help you maintain your beauty and keep young."
Easton opened his mouth and did the sweet talk. Meredith felt warm in her heart.
She took Easton into her arms and kissed him. "Thank you, Easton."
Easton was a little embarrassed and blushed a little. "I...have a small request."
Meredith was drinking the milk that Easton gave her. It was sweet and made her stomach warm. When she heard him say that, she did not hesitate, "Say it. I won't say no to things I can promise you."
Only then did Easton smile and say, "I want to sleep with you and dad tonight."
Meredith almost spat the milk out of her mouth when she heard this.
"Sleep together?"
Although she and Derek had slept on the same bed, she had recently deliberately distanced herself from him. Easton's request came at a really inappropriate time.
"Easton, can't I just stay with you?"
Meredith tried to persuade Easton with reason and emotion.
Easton wanted to say as it would be great to sleep with Meredith alone, but he was threatened by his father. If he didn't do as his father said, he would have to work all night to do his homework.
"Mom, the other kids sleep with mom and dad..."
Easton lowered his head and looked aggrieved.
As he spoke, he really felt aggrieved.
Although he had the best living conditions and everyone in the Xaviers loved him, it was impossible for him to say that he didn't care that he didn't have his mother, who was a very important person, around him.
For a moment, he was curious about how the children who usually slept with their parents felt.
Meredith couldn't bear to see that Easton was upset, especially when Easton became upset because of things related to her. Seeing him lower his head and speak in a low voice, her heart almost broke.
"Easton, I...promise you."
Meredith thought for a moment. It was just sleeping together. Nothing would happen even if Derek wanted to as Easton would sleep in the middle and she and Derek would sleep on both sides of the bed. There was no need to make the child upset.
"Really?"
Seeing that she agreed, Easton smiled brilliantly. He hugged Meredith's neck, gave her a big kiss on the face, and then ran out to call Derek.
"Mom agreed. You have to keep your word!"
"When did I go back on my word?"
