However, Meredith did not immediately agree even if she was surprised.
"Grandpa Xavier, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been who I am now."
Meredith's tone was calm. If Mr. Xavier hadn't listened to the fortune-teller and saved her from prison,
she might not have been there now. Although he was only doing it for his grandson, Meredith was still
grateful for him and hadn't forgotten his kindness.
Hearing Meredith's words, Mr. Xavier felt that this matter was going to work, and his serious expression
softened a lot. "What do you think? If you agree, take a look at this contract. I guarantee that you will
be famous all over the world in the shortest time."
Meredith took the contract but didn't read it.
She knew that at Mr. Xavier's age, he wouldn't deceive her. He would do what he said, so she didn't
need to check it.
This was probably a way for the Xaviers to show their sincerity, but it wasn't enough for Meredith.
"I appreciate your kindness, but there are many things that cannot be offset like this. Unless Derek's
mother apologizes to me for her actions and sincerely reflects on them, I won't agree to your request.
I'm sorry."
Meredith carefully put the papers back, but her attitude was neither servile nor haughty.
She admitted that she was not cool enough to let go of Derek, nor could she force Easton, who
yearned for his father's company, to leave with her.
But that didn't mean she could forgive everything.
If Violet didn't change, she would never compromise.
"You'll live with Derek in the future, and you won't have much time to go back to the Xaviers. It's better
not to waste each other's precious time because of this small problem."
Meredith shook her head. "No matter how unfamiliar they are, Derek is her son, and Easton is her
grandson. I don't want my son to hear his grandmother despise his own mother all day long."
After hearing this, Mr. Xavier knew Meredith's attitude.
However, it was difficult to change Violet's mind. Mr. Xavier could only sigh helplessly. After all, if
Meredith did not agree, he could not force them to be together.
"Since you said so, I understand. I'm too hasty today. I will go back and persuade Violet."
Mr. Xavier shook his head and returned to the car.
Meredith looked at his slightly staggering steps and realized that the old man who had once made her
extremely revered got much older, sighing that time and tide waited for no man.
However, it was only a sigh. She did not sacrifice her own happiness to make others happy.
Meredith watched the Xaviers's car drive away before returning.
But this time, she met Parker before she entered the door.
Seeing her, Parker came over and handed her some documents. "Mer, auntie has almost recovered.
This is the immigration information I prepared. Look, which country do you prefer? I think F Country is
good. You can continue to study your favorite fashion design there. It's the holy land in the hearts of all
fashion designers..."
Meredith suddenly felt guilty when Parker said so much.
If she told him that she didn't want to leave for the time being, would Parker be angry?
But Meredith knew that it was better to tell him than to keep it a secret. She took a deep breath and
calmed down before she said, "Parker, I'm sorry. Maybe I can't leave here."
Parker's words were stuck in his throat. When he saw Meredith's guilty expression, he just wanted to
say that what he wanted to hear was not sorry, but the words that she was willing to leave with him.
Parker's face became gloomy.
This morning, he came to see Meredith, but he didn't see her. He asked the driver who came back first
and found out that Meredith had gone to another hospital.
And that was where Derek was being treated.
Meredith probably wouldn't go there for nothing. The only possible reason was that she went to find
Derek.
Of course, he was unhappy. Everything was going well. Why... Why did it happen at a time like this?
So, he would rather pretend that he didn't know anything and ask Meredith what she was going to do.
He even had a fantasy that Meredith just went to say goodbye to Derek.
However, things went contrary to his wishes.
Seeing Parker suddenly become silent, Meredith felt even more guilty. She lowered her head. "It's all
my fault. I went back on my word and wasted your time and energy. I'm sorry..."
"You promised me that you would leave here with me and start your new life. Now, what made you give
up?"
Parker didn't bear to see Meredith sad usually, but now, he had almost collapsed, and his tone was no Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
longer as gentle as usual, but with a bit of depression.
"I..."
Meredith looked at the man in front of her. Inexplicably, she felt that Parker was like a stranger now.
He was not as gentle as usual, but a little gloomy and perverse, which was the other side that she had
never seen.
"I can't leave Derek who is injured. I... can't."
Hearing this, Parker couldn't help but sneer.
It was as expected.
It was obviously as expected, but he still felt heartbroken because of this answer.
He did not understand where he was worse than Derek and why he was always a little worse than
Derek, in terms of both his career and his feelings.
"Back then, he ignored you who was giving birth to a child, but now you are going to give up all these
years' wishes just because his hand was broken. Don't you really care about yourself?"
