The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 534

But Meredith stopped him.

She had been escaping from the reality. Finally she made up her mind. They shouldn't continue.

"Easton, stay in your room. I'll go out with your dad."

Meredith put the snacks that Derek bought on the table and went out with Derek.

Easton wanted to follow them, but Meredith refused.

"I have something to tell your father. Good boy, stay here, okay?"

She was serious, so Easton nodded and didn't insist on going with them.

Meredith led Derek to the coffee shop not far from the hotel and got a quiet table.

Derek followed her, wondering what she was going to say, but his instinct told him that maybe he wouldn't be happy to hear her words.

"I'm sorry about what happened today. I didn't know that my mother had asked someone else to take care of Easton. It was my fault."

Derek guessed that Meredith was hurt because of that.

So he took the initiative to apologize and explain to her.

"No, I'm not going to talk about that."

Meredith took a deep breath, "I think we shouldn't continue."

"I've fought for my love five years ago, but in the end, I was hurt. Now, I'm not in the mood to have a relationship, nor do I know you stay with me because of love or guilt."

"Don't you know my heart?"

Derek became anxious. He really hoped Meredith could understand his love for her no matter what he needed to do.

"Maybe yes..." Meredith lowered her eyes. "But will your mother support us? She never likes me. Will your love for me fade? I'm not sure, and I don't want to gamble."

Meredith had never told him her thoughts.

Now she felt much better after telling him.

"I know she hurts you, but..."

'But I do love you.'

But Derek suddenly held back his words.

Because Violet was his mom even though they kept arguing.

Just as Meredith was Easton's mom, Violet was his mom.

It was impossible for him to ignore his mother because he wanted to be with Meredith.

"You know that well... Don't you?"

Meredith smiled faintly. Derek was smart enough to know what she was talking about.

She was no longer a naive girl, who thought that as long as she tried hard, she could win others' favor.

She knew that was impossible. Prejudice was always there, making her unable to breathe.

She no longer wanted to have that experience again.

She was mature now.

"Yes..." Derek murmured.

And that was why he had swallowed his words.

Because he knew very well that if Violet didn't change her attitude towards Meredith, they could never live a peaceful life.

But, should he let her go?

Derek saw Meredith was calm and organized even though they were talking about breaking up.
