The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 64

It was late at night, and Meredith was tossing and turning in bed. After a long day of hard work, she was still not sleepy.

She was still worried about what she would do if Ava was willing to risk everything and expose her past. Although Parker said he would deal with it, Meredith was still afraid.

Just as Meredith sighed sadly, there was a sudden hurried knock on the door.

Meredith frowned. It was Parker's apartment. In order to make her feel at ease, he didn't stay. He just told her to call him whenever she needed help and he would be there immediately.

Was that him?

"Is that you?" Meredith walked over carefully, still on guard.

What if it turned out to be the fans or the reporters?

The man standing outside the door frowned and the ashes of cigarette in his hand fell slowly to the ground. "Who else are you expecting?"

The voice was so familiar for Meredith had heard it every day, but she still couldn't believe what she had just heard. Was that Derek?

Shouldn't he be in a foreign country thousands of miles away with the woman he liked?

Meredith was silent for a moment. "Derek?"

The man's patience was running out. "Open the door."

Derek always spoke in that commanding tone, as if the commander was giving orders to his soldiers. Meredith reached out her hand and almost did what he said, but she suddenly came to her senses.

"What are you doing here?"

Meredith still remembered what he said to her. Did he fly all the way back here just to catch her sleeping with someone else?

Would Derek be so bored?

"Open the door or I'll kick it in." Derek listened to Meredith's awkward voice and the closed door irritated him.

Now that he had found out where Meredith was, he naturally knew that this was Parker's property.

It was too obvious what the man wanted when he placed a woman in a house under his name.

The fact that he could still speak to Meredith in such a calm tone was the result of his great efforts to restrain himself.

Meredith thought for a moment. What Derek just said didn't sound like a lie. Besides, he could do such a thing, so she had to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, a chill crept in. Derek stood outside, his perfect figure and face outlined by the soft light. Even though he should be physically and mentally exhausting for the hasty return, it did not have a negative impact on him at all.

He was still the proud and aloof Derek.

Meredith had inexplicably complicated feelings, but Derek did not pay any attention to her. He strode in and checked the room freely.

After he saw no sign of other men, Derek's stiff and taut face softened a little.

"Come back with me."

Derek glanced at Meredith. She had already changed into a full set of pajamas and looked as if she was here to stay.

"To where? the Xaviers? Are you crazy?" Meredith was amused by Derek's domineering behavior.
