Chapter 115


    Meredith was speechless for a moment. From yesterday until now, she had been thinking about these


    things. If she said that she didn''t care, she was lying.


    She...Was really moved by what Derek had done for her. But except that she felt nothing more.


    They had nothing to do with each other now. She had no right to be jealous, right?


    "No, I just think what you said is a little boring. If it''s not about work, then I''ll hang up."


    Meredith pretended to be calm. Derek took a deep breath. "Chloe and I were in a rtionship before,


    but we are not now."


    Hearing this, Meredithughed at herself. No wonder that woman''s voice yesterday was so coquettish

    and soft. Chloe turned out to be someone he had loved before, so she was naturally much closer to


    him than the average person.


    Men were always obsessed with their ex-girlfriends.


    "Yesterday, she suddenly came back and asked me to pick her up. I can''t leave her alone outside. I


    gave her clothes because she came back from abroad and she was shivering because of the


    coldness."


    Derek didn''t know why he had to exin so much. It was just when he heard Meredith''s muffled voice,


    he said it unconsciously.


    "Mmm." Meredith answered faintly. She had to say that Derek''s words made her less upset.


    "You should rest at home these days. Don''t think too much." When Derek heard Meredith answer in a


    low voice, his frown loosened a little.


    Hanging up the phone, Meredith finished her breakfast and ned to go shopping. While Derek started


    a new day''s work.


    Just as he was looking at the proposal in his hand, his phone rang again. It was Asher calling.


    "Hey, you''re so mean. Chloe''s back. You picked her up yourself and you didn''t even tell us."


    Asher was very unhappy. He was a good friend of these two people from junior high school until now.


    When Chloe came back, no one even informed him. It was only after reading the gossip news in the


    newspaper that he found out about it.


    "You should ask her, not me."


    Derek was not polite at all. It was onlyst night that he found out that Chloe had returned home early


    and was caught off guard. How could he have time to tell anyone else?


    "Fine." Asher curled his lips. "I just called her. This is a rare opportunity. Let''s take this opportunity as


    Chloe hase back and we should hang out together."


    Derek looked at the document in his hand. He didn''t like to get involved in this kind of excitement. Just


    as he was about to say no, Asher seemed to know what he was going to say.


    "Don''t tell me you don''t want toe. You never came to our ssmates'' parties and all kinds of


    parties in the social circle. Now that Chloe is back, can''t you juste? At least we shall treat her to


    dinner on arriving. It''s too embarrassing not toe."


    Derek pondered for a moment and thought that since Chloe hade back, they should indeed hold a


    banquet to celebrate her return. Since someone was willing to be the organizer, it was okay for him to


    go.


    So, he nodded. "Ok, you can decide the time and ce, then just inform me."


    Asher saw that Derek agreed and then he hung up happily.


    ...


    Meredith first went to the supermarket to buy some baby stuff. Anyway, she was just idle and she


    wanted to do something. After shopping, she remembered that her usual nutritional supplements


    seemed to have run out. So, she walked into a pharmacy not far away.


    "I want..."


    Meredith was talking to the shop assistant when Derek''s mother, Violet, happened to be here to buy


    things as well. Violet saw her who was standing not far from the counter.


    Meredith?


    It was really unlucky.


    Violet looked away and disliked seeing Meredith. Although the Old Master said that Meredith and


    Derek were well-matched in fate and that it was her who made Derek wake up,


    Violet did not believe it at all. But because of the Old Master''s identity and authority, she didn''t dare to


    say more and could only agree.


    Until now, she only felt that Meredith had been lucky enough as Derek woke up as soon as she married


    in. Otherwise, it would not be her turn to be the youngdy of the Xaviers. Fortunately, they were


    divorced now. If they were still a couple, Violet would still regard Meredith as an eyesore.


    As she thought about it, Violet decided not to buy anything here. She was about to leave when she


    heard Meredith say something like "For-Pregnant-Woman".


    As soon as the word "Pregnant Women" fell into her ear, Violet was sobered and she stared at


    Meredith''s outfit today.


    Loose T-shirts, t-soled shoes, and a clean face without makeup... Everything she saw proved what


    she had just heard.


    Meredith was pregnant?


    Violet was shocked by the news. At this time, Meredith had finished shopping. She was about to leave


    when she saw Violet standing not far away with her eyes fixed on her.


    Her heart beat wildly out of the panic in her heart.


    Meredith didn''t have a deep impression of Violet, because Violet always looked down upon her. Giving


    this, Meredith wouldn''t show excessive passion to Violet who was indifferent to her.


    Did she hear something just now?


    "Are you pregnant?" Violet walked over and stared at Meredith''s abdomen, wishing she could cut open


    this ce to see if there was a baby inside.


    Meredith thought for a moment and said. "No."


    Violet hated her so much. If Violet knew that the baby in her stomach was rted to Derek, would


    Violet force her to have an abortion?


    She couldn''t take the risk.


    "If you are not pregnant, why are you buying those things which shall be taken by pregnant women?"


    Violet pressed on. She would never allow any idents to disrupt Derek''s life.


    "Can''t I prepare for pregnancy?" Meredith''s forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and she lied without


    changing her expression.


    Violet looked at her suspiciously. "With who?"


    This kind of woman who had been in prison and was not clean could actually get married and she still


    wanted to have children?


    "This should be my privacy, right?" Meredith didn''t want to pester with her. "Anyway, whatever I do now


    has nothing to do with the Xaviers."


    Violet looked at her suspiciously, but she did not believe that Derek would be interested in a woman


    who had hit other people and gone to jail. "I''m d to hear that you know this."


    "Oh, by the way, have you seen thetest news? Women like Chloe are what Derek likes. She has a


    distinguished family background. She is beautiful and talented. And look at you..."


    Violet didn''t say her next words out clearly, but Meredith understood her subtext.


    Violet just wanted to say that a woman like her was not qualified to have Derek.


    "Don''t worry, I know this even if you don''t tell me."


    Meredith suddenly felt a little tired. "Sorry, I have to go."


    After that, Meredith left. She lost interest in shopping around and went home directly.


    Meredith threw herself on the bed and touched her tummy. Fortunately, Violet didn''t inquire into the root


    of the matter and kept asking. Otherwise, it was still unknown whether she was able to fool Violet.
