Meredith went back to the room. She was upset.
After a while, Easton still didn't come back.
Meredith felt that she shouldn't have left him there alone. Just now, seeing Derek and Parker at loggerheads made her feel helpless.
She was really not interested in getting involved in that, and the scene just reminded her of the past.
Just as she was thinking, someone knocked on the door. When she opened the door. She saw Parker standing at the door.
"I'm staying at this hotel too. After all, I have to listen to auntie."
As soon as Parker spoke, he mentioned Amelia. So Meredith didn't know how to reply.
"I just got here. I'm not familiar with the place. I want to go out for a meal. Can you recommend a restaurant for me?"
Meredith knew clearly what Parker meant.
She was silent for a moment and then said, "Parker, you don't have to do this. You're busy. Don't waste time on me."
The smile on Parker's face froze. He looked at Meredith's face seriously. "Now, even if you're not with him anymore, can't you give me a chance?
For the past five years, I have been frantically looking for you. Dennis survived, so I thought that you could luckily survive too, but I searched everywhere and found no trace of you.
Later, I gave up. My only thought was to help you get back at the Xaviers as well as Violet. I wanted to make her pay for your death. "
Parker sounded very calm. That was a secret that he had never told Meredith.
He didn't want to win sympathy from her, but he just wanted her to stop being so distant from him.
"Parker, I'm sorry. I didn't know how you spent your days that way..."
Meredith looked at his expression and felt sorry for him only because she treated him as her friend.
If she hadn't lost her memory, perhaps things wouldn't turn so complicated.
Looking at Meredith's guilty face, Parker felt guilty. What he said was true, but it wasn't just for Meredith that he took revenge on the Xaviers.
He also did that for himself and for his dead mother.
But he resisted the urge to explain. "I'm not saying this to make you feel guilty. Now that you're separated from Derek, don't ignore my concern unless you really hate me so much that it hurts to even see me."
"Parker..."
Of course, Meredith didn't hate him, but she didn't want to waste his time.
She thought that Parker deserved a better woman, a woman who was devoted to him.
"I just don't want you to waste your time."
"Time is mine. I'll know if it's a waste."
Parker insisted, so Meredith sighed helplessly.
After all, she could never control other people's thoughts.
"If you insist, I can't say anything, but maybe I'll never accept your feelings for the rest of my life. I'm sorry."
Parker's eyes dimmed when he heard that, but he didn't look away. "I don't care. I can wait."
"I don't think it's necessary."
