Meredith didn't expect Easton to understand what she said.
In fact, she just didn't know how to explain to a five-year-old child the problem between her and Derek, so she could only tell him that.
It was very likely that she would never be as good as Derek was. After all, Derek's starting point was much higher than the average person. So it was very likely that no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't work.
Meredith thought about it and felt a little upset. Then, she thought about her background.
Perhaps, with the help of the Smith family, she could achieve this goal.
But She didn't do it out of pride. Also, the fact that her biological mother would rather give her to someone else than let her go back to the Smith family showed that things were definitely not that simple.
So, Meredith never thought of using the power of the Smith family.
"Is it when you're as famous as dad, and everyone knows you, that you want to be with dad?"
That was all Easton could understand.
"Sort of. I have to wait at least when your grandmother doesn't belittle me any more and stops finding some strange woman to be your stepmother."
Hearing this, Easton suddenly seemed to understand something. "I see. Then I support you, mom."
He still didn't understand why Meredith was so insistent. However, if it made grandma stop bringing women he didn't know into the house, he thought her persistence made sense.
Meredith heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Easton say that.
"Then don't think too much. Go to school and don't fall behind, okay?"
At the mention of his studies, Easton could not help but feel guilty.
Fortunately, Meredith didn't see him throwing away his homework today. Otherwise, he would definitely suffer.
"Got it, mom."
After Easton said these, Meredith left with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Fiona walked into Easton's room with Easton's homework in her hand. "Here's your homework. I can't take it. You should go on with your homework."
Easton looked at her and was speechless. "Didn't you say you wanted to take it away? Why did you bring it back?"
"I heard what Aunt Mer said. She told you not to fall behind. How can you keep up if you don't do your homework? Well, let's do it together. I'll write the answers on paper, and you'll write them on your exercise book, okay? You're so smart, and you'll definitely do it."
Easton looked at Fiona's serious look and had only one thought in his heart, "What she said is so reasonable that I'm speechless..."
"Well then..."
Easton was also stressed by Fiona's serious gaze. If he refused, it would appear that he was very stupid, so he took back his homework.
They sat in front of a large desk, each writing their own answers and occasionally talking.
After Meredith came out of Easton's room, she called again to ask how Penelope was doing. When she came back, she saw that Fiona wasn't there.
She then found the two kids sitting together and seriously writing something on the exercise book. She couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly she didn't want the little girl to leave. After all, Easton never liked to do his homework.
Meredith could not help but smile. She did not disturb the two children's study and quietly returned to her room.
She was gonna have someone find out about Fiona's biological mother.
The next morning
Easton got up from the bed and stretched himself.
