Chapter 475
Chapter 475
When Derek got home, it was already dark. Easton was washing up with Meredith.
Meredith sat outside and waited for him to come out. When she heard the door open, she looked over.
"You're back."
Meredith felt inexolicable nervous. She wanted to ask about the situation, but she didn't know how to
say it.
"Don't worry, the ghostwriter has been found."
Derek saw that she wanted to say something but stopped. He took off his coat and walked over to her
and sat beside her. "The girl you're talking about is the person behind Tina."
"Is she... Willing to tell the truth?"
Meredith frowned.
Derek shook his head, and Meredith became nervous. "She's in a special situation. I'm afraid it's
difficult for her to say it herself."
Derek didn't want to hide it from Meredith, so he told her the whole story.
Rosentti was an autistic person after all. Even if she was willing to cooperate, she couldn't speak.
"Autism?"
Meredith was a little surprised.
At that time, she thought that the girl was very strange, but she didn't expect this to happen.
Meredith could not help but feel the same way. This poor girl had to be cheated by the Horton Family
and she even had such a disease.
In the past, she was the same. She was at the mercy of others and couldn't even protect what she
cherished. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Then... What should we do? Wouldn't it scare her if we let her attend the press conference with her
situation?"
Hearing Meredith's words, Derek couldn't help but smile.
At a time like this, the first thing she thought about was whether she would hurt others.
Some people, although life didn't treat them well, they could still treat others with a kind heart.
Derek looked at Meredith with a smile. The passion and affection in his eyes made Meredith blush. She
couldn't help but step back, trying to pull the distance between the two of them, but Derek grabbed her
shoulder.
"What are you afraid of?"
Seeing that Meredith's ears were all red, Derek couldn't help but laugh more. He leaned over and
breathed a breath on her fair neck.
Meredith shrank. A tingling sensation came from where Derek touched her. "You're smiling so
weirdly..."
"Really?"
Derek narrowed his eyes. His eyes were full of love, but this woman was really a buzzkill.
"I just feel like I didn't love the wrong person. You're still the same person you were before, always soft-
hearted and considerate of others."
Derek was very frank about what he was thinking, and after Meredith heard it, her face burned with shy.
Why didn't she realize that Derek was so straightforward when he was talking about love?
"I know, I know!"
She reached out to push the man who was getting closer and closer, but Derek grabbed her arm and
lowered his head to kiss her delicate red lips.
Meredith couldn't escape. Bewitching by the ambiguous atmosphere at this moment, she didn't really
want to struggle away. Looking at the handsome face getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but
close her eyes...
At this moment, Easton came out of the bathroom after washing and brushing his teeth. Seeing this, he
coughed loudly.
"What are you doing?"
Derek's face darkened. The boy deliberately wanted to ruin his affair.
Meredith, on the other hand, jumped away from Derek like being struck. Her face was blushed like a
tomato. "No, nothing. Easton, I'll tell you a story."
Afraid that Easton would continue to ask something, Meredith quickly took his hand and brought him to
the bedroom. If he continued to ask curiously later, she would probably want to find a hole and hid it to
vent her embarrassment.
Derek watched the two of them leave annoyingly, trying to figure out how to fix this little bastard up.
Easton followed Meredith into the room and saw her blushing. In fact, he understood it very well, but he
still pretended to be naive. "Mom, what were you doing just now?"
Meredith was so embarrassed. How could she say such a thing to a child? She couldn't help but curse
herself and Derek again. She shouldn't have done that in the living room. Now, she lost her dignity in
front of the child.
"Just discussing some things."
"Oh~"
Easton knew it, but it was not good to keep asking. If he asked again, Meredith would probably leave
because of embarrassment.
Meredith did not know what to say, so she could only lower her head to make the bed for him. She
should urge him to go to bed quickly to avoid being asked more questions.
"It's still early. I'm not sleepy."
Easton looked at the time. It was less than nine o'clock. He couldn't sleep at all.
"Then take your homework to me."
Meredith calmed down slowly. Seeing that Ku Easton was very uncooperative, she began to scare him
by using the homework.
When Easton heard this, he immediately stopped talking nonsense. "Oh, it's so late. It's so boring to
read homework."
He wouldn't say that he didn't do his homework.
Easton had been taught by the Xaviers since he was a child. He had learned and mastered the things
that were taught in kindergarten. It was a waste of time to do it again, and he kept finding excuses not
to do it.
The kindergarten teacher had no choice but to turn a blind eye to him because they did not dare to
offend the Xaviers.
But neither Derek nor Meredith knew about this.
If they knew it, he wouldn't end well.
"I'll go out and get some water."
Seeing that Meredith was a little suspicious, Easton quickly found an excuse to sneak out. As soon as
he left, Derek caught him.
"Dad? What are you doing here?"
Easton shrank his neck and looked at Derek's weird face. He felt like he was going to suffer.
"What are you doing running out in such a hurry?"
Derek had just walked to the door and heard both of them clearly. With his knowledge of this brat, he
knew what he had done well.
He must have been playing smart and throwing a tantrum. He didn't do his homework, so he ran out in
fear of being examined.
Derek wanted to take advantage of it..
"I came out to drink. I'm thirsty."
Easton wanted to leave, but Derek caught him and he couldn't move. He could only smile pleasantly.
"You didn't do your homework, right? Are you afraid of being discovered?"
Derek squatted down and patted Easton on the shoulder. Although he had a kind father's face, Easton
felt creepy.
"This..."
"There's no need to argue. I know you."
"Then..."
Easton was upset. "I'm going to write now, okay?"
He really hated sitting at the table and writing about what he had learned.
"Or not."
Derek still knew Easton's level. Even if he didn't do his homework, his grades wouldn't be bad.
However, since Easton had interrupted them, it was always necessary for him to do something.
