The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 88

When Jameson and Asher arrived in Derek's box, there was already a lot of wine in front of Derek.

A few empty bottles were placed aside. It was obvious that Derek had drunk quite a bit by himself just now, but there was no sign of being drunk on his face.

The two of them looked at each other confusedly. If it was anyone else who was sitting here drinking, they might not be so surprised.

However, he was Derek. He had never been fond of alcohol. He rarely drank so much even in social gatherings.

In other words, what kind of thing would let someone like him drown his sorrows in alcohol?

"Could it be a breakup?"

Jameson was always straightforward. When Derek, who was pouring wine heard that, he slammed the bottle on the table and looked at him coldly. "You're late! Why're you still so noisy?"

Hearing what he said, the two of them couldn't ask any more questions. They sat down and drank with him.

After a while, most of the wine bottles in front of them were empty. Although the two people were good at drinking, they could not stand drinking like that.

Jameson looked at Derek's gloomy face. "It can't be related to the girl you brought over last time, can it? Listen to me. It's useless to seek solace in drink. It's better if you say it out."

Asher frowned. "Which girl? Damn, it can't be that cleaning girl... The last time you left Chloe there alone abroad, it couldn't be for her, right?"

"Can't you shut your mouth up when drinking?"

The reason why Derek came out was that he didn't want to see anything related to Meredith anymore. He didn't expect that these two people would go against him and bring up her endlessly.

His reaction was equivalent to acquiescence.

Derek was no longer in the mood to continue getting drunk. He had disdained to try to numb himself with alcohol for a woman.

Besides, the woman had betrayed him.

If Meredith could leave so quickly and decisively, why should he still be reluctant to part?

It was ridiculous.

...

Meredith tidied up in her new home and went to the bookstore to buy some books about mother and baby.

These days, in the Xaviers, she was scared every day and did not have time to learn these. Now she finally moved out, so there were no more scruples.

Meredith opened a book and read it for a while, but she couldn't concentrate on the book in her hand.

She wondered if Derek had returned to the Xaviers today, if he already knew about his departure, or if he would come to her for it...

Thinking about it, Meredith was a little upset.

She threw down the book and went to the kitchen to warm up a glass of milk, trying to fall asleep.

...

However, Meredith didn't sleep well that night.

Although it was much more comfortable than sleeping on the floor in the Xaviers, she was not used to it...

When she got up, Meredith couldn't help but despise herself. Was it because she had suffered too much and even was not used to enjoying herself?

Habitually, Meredith turned on her phone and took a look. There was nothing else except a text message from Julius who told her to be careful outside.

Meredith could not help but laugh at herself. Last night, she was still worried that Derek would be angry when he found her leave. Now it seemed that she was all sentimental.

She was just a passer-by in Derek's life, even a very unpopular one. It didn't matter if she left or not! How could Derek be reluctant to part with her?

Maybe he had no emotional fluctuations at all.

...

Derek's day began with a headache and irritation.

He drank too much last night, besides, the wine was too strong. Even he felt a hangover headache.
