Having coaxed Easton, Meredith took his hand to walked home.
And Derek had calmed down and came over from the other side.
Seeing him, Meredith didn't say anything, "Easton is hungry. Let's go back and eat something."
Derek nodded and followed them.
He wanted to ask something, but he didn't know-how.
Now, what was she thinking about Parker?
He really wanted to know, but he didn't know how to ask. He was afraid that he would get an unacceptable answer.
Just like that, they went upstairs quietly.
Meredith found a bag of quick-frozen dumplings from the fridge. “There's no other staple food. We have a simple meal?"
The things she packed back were all desserts. They could not be aten as a meal.
"Well, everything is okay!"
Touching his flat belly, Easton nodded.
Looking at his cute appearance, Meredith messed up Easton's hair. Then she heated up other food in the microwave and turned on the gas to prepare the dumplings.
Easton was already hungry, so he ate happily in the dinning room, regardless of other things.
Derek seized the opportunity and went into the kitchen. Seeing Meredith busy, he couldn't help but say, "You... and him, what's going on?"
Eventually, he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened. If he didn't ask, he wouldn't be able to sleep well today.
"...", Meredith didn't answer because she didn't want to.
Parker's return reminded her of many things.
Her negative emotions which almost faded emerged.
Only then did she realize that she had never let go of the past.
In particular, with Violet's stubborn attitude, she did not even receive a formal apology.
How could she let it go?
It was a betrayal to forget all the things. It was called forgetting the pain after recovery.
So, she didn't say anything.
Her silence made Derek's heart sink.
Looking at her calm face, "Why don't you answer me? Is it because this question is too much for you to answer?"
His tone was very violent, even unconsciously with a hint of oppression.
She suddenly felt that now he was reunited with him five years ago.
Her mood became bad, so she answered impatiently, "Is it necessary for me to answer your question?"
Derek was speechless for a moment.
Was it necessary?
Maybe it was not.
After all, she had never recognized their relationship, and even if they were close, it was him that always stuck to her.
However, he had done his best to make up for her.
She had never been moved at all?
He was suddenly very anxious and subconsciously reached out and grabbed her arm.
She was stirring the water in the pot to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pot. At that moment, she was about to let him go when she was suddenly pulled into his arms.
"Is that your answer? You fall in love with Parker?"
