Chapter 64


    It waste 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 thatmanding tone, as if themander 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 ced 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 inexplicablyplicated 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 nced 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.


    He was the one who went abroad to meet his little lover, and he was the one who had used her of


    sexual misconduct, and even... When she had no one to count on, he was the one who ignored her.


    Besides, hadn''t the Xaviers made it clear? Ever since her ident, the Xaviers hadpletely ignored


    her. It was obvious that they would want nothing to do with her. Why would she still wanna go back?


    "Why? You want to continue staying at another man''s house?" Derek looked at her suspiciously. He


    didn''t know what had happened between Parker and Meredith during this day.


    This feeling of not in control irritated him.


    "I can live wherever I like, can''t I?" Meredith nced at him. "Didn''t you say that I was a fickle woman


    who just wanted to seduce men? Then I''ll do as you say. This isn''t..."


    Before Meredith could finish her sentence, Derek suddenly lifted her up like a chicken, and her face


    turned pale with fear. She was wondering if Derek would have violent tendencies, and could he just


    be violent due to being stimted by her?


    But then, the man threw her on his shoulder like he was carrying a bag of rice. Such simple and


    powerful measures were often the most effective for a woman''s incessant chatter.


    "You''re crazy. Put me down!" Meredith did not expect Derek to do this at all. Hanging on the man''s firm


    shoulder, she was shaking all over, not only dizzy but also a little nauseous.


    "Shut up."


    Derek was a little annoyed by Meredith''s noisy voice in his ear. In his memory, this woman was usually


    like a mute and had never made such a noisy sound.


    So, this was her true self without disguise?


    "You put me down! Are you crazy? Do you want to take me back to continue humiliating me? I''m not


    that cheap to let you humiliate me as you please to, or... Ah, it hurts!"


    Meredith got angry and shouted for Derek to let her down while kicking him with her fists and feet as if


    she wanted to vent all her grievances.


    However, because she was suspended in the air, Meredith was not able to exert much strength.


    Derek did not feel much pain but was still annoyed by her. He reached out his hand and hit the


    woman''s soft and plump buttocks with his broad palm. He hit her quite hard. At least, Meredith was so


    scared that she closed her mouth immediately.


    When she realized what he had done, Meredith''s face turned red. The pain was secondary but he


    actually had spanked her?


    "You''re sexually harassing me, you rascal."


    Meredith''s face was as red as a ripe tomato, not sure if it was because of the position of being upside


    down, or because she was embarrassed.


    Fortunately, it was dark now, and no one would have seen the embarrassing thing he just did, or else


    she would have wished to flush herself down the toilet.


    "You can shout louder. I just checked. This ce is not entirely deserted. You can wake them up and


    they can see how I''m harassing you."


    Derek couldn''t see Meredith''s face, but her trembling voice betrayed her nervousness.


    Sure enough, Meredith stopped shouting. Derek quickly walked a few steps, opened the car door, and


    stuffed her in.


    "Fasten your seat belt."


    Meredith did as she was told. At this moment, there was no reason for her to continue struggling. She


    didn''t dare to make a sound then. Now, she slowly calmed down instead.


    Derek hated her so much judging from what he said on the phone, but he still came to see her in the


    middle of the night. It must be something importanting up for him to be in such a hurry.


    Why would he care toe and see her in the middle of the night?


    She was just a nominal Mrs. Xavier. He must havee to divorce her...


    Although Meredith had always been ready for a divorce at any time, she suddenly realized that it would


    be a reality now, and she was not as calm as she thought.


    Maybe it was because she was used to the fakefort in the Xaviers, or maybe...
