Hearing this, Derek felt unhappy. Meredith just bought something back, and she only did this occasionally, but Violet would feel that Meredith had an evil intention.
It seemed that her prejudice against Meredith was still deep.
"Mom, I promised Easton to take him and buy stuff. It has nothing to do with Meredith."
Derek took the blame on himself, but Violet did not become tolerant because of this. Instead, she put the blame on Meredith.
However, she didn't want to discuss that annoying woman with them anymore because it was rare for her son and grandson to be home together. So she didn't say anything.
"Easton, let's go. Your great-grandfather has been waiting for you for a long time. He's been nagging about why you're not coming back to accompany him."
When Easton heard this, he obediently followed behind.
It wasn't that he didn't want to come back, it was just that his great-grandfather was getting old and liked to drag him on and talk about the past.
Easton walked the room and went to see Mr. Xavier.
Seeing him, the Old Master put down the thing in his hand. "You little boy, do you still know that you should come back? Have you forgotten about your great-grandfather?"
"I know I was wrong. I will come back more often."
Easton lowered his head, looking as if he knew that he was wrong.
Mr. Xavier loved Easton the most, so how could he blame him for anything? He quickly called someone over and gave him a card. He said, "I have some pocket money for you."
Easton was very happy. His pocket money was strictly controlled by his father, so he was unable to go out to buy anything. Now that he had a windfall, he had to save it and think about how to use it in the future.
After a while, Violet set up a sumptuous dinner and came in to ask them to eat.
Easton took the Old Master's arm and walked out, acting very obediently.
The family sat together, chatting and eating.
Derek took care of Easton while eating.
In his heart, he couldn't help but think that if Meredith was here, it would be perfect.
He didn't know when he could undo the knot in their hearts, and the whole family could be in harmony.
In a daze, the Old Master suddenly remembered something. "Derek, I suddenly remembered something. Today, the Smiths called me and said that you had found someone to check the information about the eldest lady of their family."
Derek heard that and he paused using the chopsticks. He knew that the Smiths was powerful and had a strong sense of protection for their family members, but he didn't expect them to react so quickly.
"the Smiths?" Violet perked up when she heard the name. "Is that the Smiths from Capital City? I remember they seemed to have the intention to set up a marriage between our two families."
The Old Master nodded and said, "You remember correctly. It's the Smiths. But they are so hostile to us now. As soon as they heard that Derek had asked someone to check the information, they immediately called. This was to punish me."
Violet listened quietly and she didn't think it was a big deal. She asked, "Derek, why are you looking for her information? Could it be that you are interested in her?"
If that was the case, Violet was in favor of it.
"No, mom, it's not what you think. I just have something to confirm."
Derek frowned. Violet was still passionate about setting him up with some other woman, which was a headache for him.
"Yes, that's impossible."
Easton didn't know what they were talking about, but he subconsciously denied it.
His father could only be interested in his mother. Other women must be nobody.
"I don't want to say anything, but the Smiths and the Xaviers are not on good terms. There is no need to do so in the future. It is better not to be too abrupt so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
The Old Master's head ached at the words between the two parties.
He was too lazy to meddle in such matters, so he just reminded him and said nothing more.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Violet could not say anything more and lowered her head to eat.
At this meal, everyone had their own thoughts.
