Derek stayed outside for a long time, which made Meredith a little curious about what he was saying. So she cautiously approached.
She heard Derek's voice. "I see. I will go. I wish you graduate smoothly."
The voice sounded so gentle, which Meredith had never heard before, with the inclination of pampering the one he said to.
Who was he talking to on the phone? Why did he show such tenderness?
Meredith was lost in thought while listening. In her opinion, Derek was always cold and aloof. He was so perfect that he seemed like a god who is untouchable, giving people a deep sense of distance.
However, it turned out that he would also show such tenderness to a person. It seemed that he was not indifferent to everyone. He was only kind to someone.
However, she was not a special one. Thinking of that, Meredith felt a little distressed.
At this time, Derek already finished the phone call. When he came back, he saw Meredith was thinking something. His whole body tilted over. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Only then did Meredith recover herself, she quickly pretended to be looking for something. If Derek knew that she was listening to him in secret, he would be angry. "No, I'm looking for something..."
Derek looked at her, who was slightly flustered. "What are you looking for?"
"Something unimportant." Meredith shook her head. "Let's hurry home."
Derek nodded and did not ask any more questions, but Meredith turned her head to look at the rapidly passing scenery out of the window and then closed her eyes.
They went back to the Xaviers. When having dinner, Derek reported to Mr. Xavier that he was going abroad for a period of time.
Mr. Xavier naturally wouldn't stop him. He nodded and agreed. "Don't think I don't know what you're doing. Can't you bear it anymore?"
Chloe was a famous musician abroad for the moment. Mr. Xavier would also pay attention to the news about her.
Meredith's hand with chopsticks paused for a moment, her eyes darkening. She obviously knew that Mr. Xavier was teasing, but she would never know what he was teasing about.
Derek should be looking for the person who called today. The person who could make him so gentle must be a very attractive woman.
Derek took a look at Meredith, but Meredith had already been no more abnormal and looked very calm.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Looking at Meredith's expressionless face, Derek was slightly cold in his voice.
"Of course. If I do... Have a safe trip?" Meredith opened her mouth and said it appropriately. Then she got up and said, "I'm done eating. I'll go back to my room and rest."
When she left, Mr. Xavier nodded. "It seems that She is quite sensible. When you really decide who you want to be with, you won't have any trouble divorcing Meredith. That's the best."
Won't it cause any trouble...
Derek looked at the empty seat that Meredith had just sat in. For some reason, her performance of being sensible did not make him happy.
Derek got up early in the following day. Because it was the weekend, Meredith was still sleeping. Looking at her who was sleeping sound, Derek felt angry inexplicably.
Knowing that he was leaving, she was still sleeping like a dead pig. Was this woman so heartless?
Thinking about it, Derek walked past Meredith who was sleeping on the ground and pretended to accidentally kick her foot.
"What's the matter?" Meredith was just lying on the bed in a daze. She didn't sleep very well. When getting kicked, she sat up immediately and thought something had happened.
