Meredith was pinched and reached out to slap his hand. "What do you think?"
"Since they are only willing to take the Fiona back for the benefit I have given them, then I will let them understand that only by treating her well will the Xaviers continue to work with them in the future. If they dare to bully her, I can also find a way to make them lose everything they have now."
Derek spoke calmly. Sometimes, it was easy to deal with those who cared only about benefit not feelings.
After all, this kind of person knew the stakes and would not make any decisions that would caused them trouble.
"What you said makes sense, but unfortunately..."
Meredith knew that Derek's method was the most reliable. But when thinking of that Fiona was so happy that Lydia wanted to take her back because Lydia liked her, Meredith felt a little sad because of the truth.
"You don't think that's good, but maybe for Fiona, even if her mother was just pretending to love her, it would be enough to make her happy."
Derek reached out and held Meredith's hand. There were never so many perfect things in this world.
"I see."
Meredith nodded and thought optimistically. "She is smart and sensible. Maybe they'll get along well when they get home for a while."
Derek nodded and held Meredith's hand tighter. Just then, Easton came back and saw they holding hands with an evil smile, and he said, "Oh, is it not the right time for me to come back? I go out for a walk?"
When Meredith heard this, she immediately withdrew her hand. "Easton, don't talk nonsense. Your father and I are discussing something about Fiona."
Hearing that it had something to do with Fiona, Easton asked seriously. "What did dad say? Otherwise, let her stay at our house, and she can do it for me... Oh no, she can help me with my homework."
Easton sensed he said something wrong and quickly made up for it.
"You just want her to stay to help you with your homework, is that all?"
When Meredith heard this, she was very speechless.
Although Easton was very smart, he just did not like to work hard.
"Of course not. I just don't want her to be bullied."
Easton immediately retorted that he was not so utilitarian. He just didn't want the person he had made efforts to save to be bullied in another place.
"Don't worry."
