Parker suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at Meredith seriously. "What are you going to do?"
What was she going to do...
Meredith didn't know. They separated, but because of Easton, they were always entangled with each other from time to time.
If Evelyn married Derek, Meredith wouldn't leave Easton to Evelyn.
Evelyn and Easton could never get along well.
Then her concern was how to take Easton away from the Xaviers.
"Mer, are you thinking about Easton?"
Parker looked at Meredith. It seemed that he had seen through her mind.
He had thought of this too. Since they had a child together, they would never be able to separate.
After all, Easton was their biological child.
"Let me think about it."
Meredith sighed and returned to the room.
Only then did she see Easton swinging his fair calves and focusing on the game console.
Meredith stared at him for a long time. She wished Easton would grow up as happy and carefree as he was now.
But it seemed that there were some things he needed to face after all.
"Mom, hey!"
Easton heard the door open and threw the game console aside. "Where have you been?"
"Nowhere. I went out to meet someone."
Meredith smiled wearily. Although she had done nothing, she felt physically and mentally exhausted at the moment.
"I felt the person you met was not a good person."
Easton was always sharp. When he saw Meredith's expression, he felt something was wrong.
"Why do you think so?"
Meredith couldn't help but look at Easton. Sometimes this little guy would say something unexpected.
"It's just a feeling."
Easton was speechless. He approached Meredith and sniffed at her, which made her laugh.
Did this kid think he was a police dog? Could he smell it and tell who it was?
"Well, disgusting perfume."
Easton wrinkled his nose and said so.
His nose was sharp, and he was sensitive to the smell of perfume. He would often get a headache when he met people who liked to spray perfume.
The perfume smelled familiar. Anyway, he didn't like it.
"Forget it, stop fooling around."
Meredith shook her head and sat on the bed, tidying up the bed that Easton had messed up.
Then, as if by accident, she said, "Easton, what do you think if we leave J City and go somewhere else?"
"Where? Is it fun?"
Easton didn't know what Meredith meant. His first thought was that Meredith wanted to travel.
He was too willing to go for a trip so that he didn't have to go to school or do homework. There was nothing better than this in the world.
"Can dad go with us?"
Easton was naive enough to think that traveling together would help his parents be closer.
Meredith was surprised and did not know how to answer.
When children thought of anything, they naturally felt that they should be with their parents.
But...
"No, he's not going with us."
