Chapter 206


    Chloe also smiled. Of course, she didn''t say what she really thought.


    When Derek and she got engaged and the two of them held a ceremony, she would never let go easily.


    Although it was despicable, ...


    She had no other choice.


    After settling the matter with Chloe, Derek told Violet and left the hospital.


    Because he had been abroad for a while, there was a lot of work waiting for him to deal with, and he


    needed to get rid of them quickly.


    ...


    After Meredith took care of her mother, it was already dark. Damian took her home. "Miss Mason, there


    will be security guards outside to protect you. I live downstairs. If you need anything, call me anytime."


    Meredith nodded. Although she didn''t think it was necessary to make such a fuss, Derek was worried


    that the Masons would be desperate to get someone to harass her, so he specifically asked Damian to


    stay and protect her with a group of people he trusted.


    "I see. You guys have a good rest. I''ll go upstairs."


    Meredith went up to the second floor. The lights in the vi were turned on by the servants, but she was


    the only one on the second floor. Although it was bright, the room seemed more empty.


    Without that figure, Meredith felt her heart was empty.


    She wondered how he was doing at home and if thepany''s problems had been solved.


    It turned out that she missed the man in her heart and that she thought of him every minute.


    Perhaps this was love. Meredith decided not to be disappointed. She caressed her abdomen, which


    was now very obvious. After another month, when the results of the paternity test came out, perhaps


    everything would develop in the direction she wanted.


    Meredith rested for a while. Not long after, the maid asked her to go down for dinner.


    Meredith had no appetite, but when she thought that the baby in her belly could not go hungry, she


    went down, tired.


    However, when she sat at the table, she saw there was a lot of food on the huge table, but she was the


    only one enjoying it. She felt so lonely.


    "Where''s Damian?" Meredith thought that Damian was here too, so she wanted to ask him toe


    over and have dinner together.


    "Damian is in the room. Do you want me to get him?"


    Hearing that, Meredith thought for a moment. "No. I''ll go and find him. Go and do your work."


    With that, Meredith walked over and found Damian''s room. Just as she was about to knock on the


    door, she heard Damian talking to someone.


    "I''m sorry, madam. I''m on a business trip abroad now. I''m afraid you need to ask someone else to deal


    with the engagement ceremony."


    After Violet set the engagement time with Chloe''s parents, she ned to let Damian take care of it.


    After all, he had been with Derek for a long time and knew his preferences better. She didn''t expect


    Damian to go abroad.


    In this way, she would have to ask a different person to do this.


    When Meredith heard the word "engagement" outside, she suddenly felt a little confused and uneasy.


    The engagement ceremony?


    Who was getting engaged? Derek?


    However, she tried not to let her imagination run wild and knocked on the door. "Damian, are you


    there? It''s dinner time."


    Damian was shocked. He didn''t expect Meredith to be outside and didn''t know whether she heard his


    words. It would be bad if she knew about the boss''s engagement.


    "Miss Mason, you can get someone to call me. You''re pregnant now, so it''s not convenient to move


    around."


    Damian walked out with a smile. He looked and acted the same as usual.


    Meredith looked at him. "It''s okay. It''s just a few steps. I''m not that weak."


    After saying this, the two of them fell silent. Meredith did not restrain her curiosity after all. "I overheard


    you just now. Did someone ask you to go back and do something?"


    Damian''s heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, Meredith heard it, but he reacted very quickly and


    immediately forced out a smile. "Well, one of my rtives is getting engaged. They said they were


    going to hold an engagement ceremony and asked if I coulde over."


    Meredith was relieved to hear this. "I see. You... you can go back first. After all, it''s a good thing. If you


    are absent, I''m afraid it will be a pity."


    "I''ll think about it. Let''s go to dinner. I''m hungry."


    Seeing that Meredith did not doubt him or ask any more questions, Damian was relieved and did not


    want to linger on this topic, so he diverted Meredith''s attention.


    Meredith didn''t think much about it. After dinner, the two of them went back to their rooms.


    ...


    Meredith took a shower and watched TV for a while, but she didn''t really see any of it. Then, she gave

    up. Although it was not toote, she decided to go to bed.


    However, looking at the big double bed, she couldn''t help shaking her head.


    Without Derek, the bed looked particrly empty.


    She was holding a storybook and preparing to tell a story to her baby when her phone rang on the


    bedside table.


    Meredith suddenly felt a little excited. She picked it up and saw the name on it and was overjoyed. It


    was Derek who called.


    "Hello?" Meredith answered.


    "You are asleep already? It''s getting dark over there." Derek''s pleasant voice came from the receiver,


    which eased Meredith''s mood a lot.


    "Not yet. I''m going to watch TV for a while before going to bed."


    "Uh-huh."


    They both went silent, but both of them enjoyed this rare silence. Even if they did not speak, just


    listening to each other''s breathing made them feel at ease.


    "Did everything go well today? Things at thepany are not too troublesome, are they?"


    Meredith was still thinking about it. After all, Derek had been away for so long because of her.


    "Not bad," Derek said. "I''m in thepany now. Everything is fine."


    Derek looked at the documents in his hand. He didn''t know when he had be concerned about


    others, but now he really missed this woman. He wanted to talk to her, know how she was doing, and


    even just say good night, so he couldn''t wait to call her after a meeting.


    "That''s good." Meredith felt warm in her heart. Derek''s concern made her feel good. "I''m fine here too.


    There''s no need to worry. Damian is here. There won''t be any problems."


    "Okay, stay there with auntie. Don''t worry about anything." Derek said.


    "You should get some rest once in a while. Since you''re not in a hurry toe back, there''s no need to


    take care of everything at once."


    Derek agreed. Meredith''s concern calmed him down.


    He really needed some time to solve those things.


    "Meredith, don''t watch the domestic news recently. I''m dealing with some things. Wait for me there,


    okay?"


    Meredith didn''t know why, but she thought maybe it was because of those things rted to the Masons.


    He didn''t want her to be upset. "I got it."
