Chapter 541


    Derek nced at him, "Did you watch too many TV shows?"


    Easton smiled, "Anyway, tell me if you agree or not."


    Derek thought about it and thought that it didn''t matter to agree him one thing. After all, Easton didn''t


    have the guts to ask for anything too much.


    "Okay, I promise you."


    ...


    In the washroom


    Meredith walked to the mirror and wiped the shallow mark with a wet tissue.


    As soon as Evelyn entered, the smile on her face disappeared. She looked at Meredith coldly, without


    any warmth in her eyes.


    "You are Meredith, right?"


    Meredith replied coldly and did not look at her. Instead, Meredith continued to go about her own


    business.


    "What''s the rtionship between you and Derek? Aren''t you boyfriend and girlfriend now?"


    "No."


    Meredith answered her honestly.


    The rtionship between them seemed to be beyond the rtionship of boyfriend and girlfriend.


    "Oh, so Easton is your and Derek''s child, right?"


    Meredith paused. She didn''t answer Evelyn but nced at her.


    Seeing that Meredith didn''t speak, Evelyn continued to say, "I have checked you. The Masons is just a


    small family, and it almost went bankrupt. The gap between your family and Derek''s is too big, and you


    won''t be happy."


    Seeing Evelyn mentioned about family background repeatedly, Meredith bit her lower lip as if she was


    thinking about something.


    "Before I answer all your questions, may I ask you a question first?"


    "Well." Evelyn looked indifferent.


    "What if, I mean, one day you find that your family that you are proud of doesn''t exist?"


    After saying this, Meredith felt a thinyer of cold sweat on her palm.


    "Are you looking for psychologicalfort for yourself? I don''t know why you have such an idea. The


    Smiths won''t fall down no matter what happens, so your hypothesis is invalid."


    "If you want to ask me something, you must answer my question. If your biological parents are others


    because you are given to the wrong parents, would you be willing to ept your former family?"


    Meredith was persistent.


    Seeing Meredith like this, Evelyn looked confused, "Why should I ept them? Since I was a child, it


    was the Smiths who raised me up. Moreover, I have no reason to lower my quality of life to ept the


    so-called parents who arepletely like strangers."


    Evelyn''s words made Meredith''s mood beplicated.


    Perhaps, it was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.


    Having gotten used to the life of the Smiths, it might be hard for her to ept a mediocre family.


    "I''m done. Answer my question."


    "Easton is my and Derek''s child. That''s right, but now we have nothing to do with each other. What you


    want to do is your choice, and it is none of my business."


    Meredith said this as calmly as possible.


    "Really?"


    But Evelyn didn''t believe it.

    "I don''t have to lie to you. As you said, there are people in the Xaviers who don''t like me, and I don''t


    want to please them anymore. So that''s just how it goes."


    Hearing this, Evelyn believed it, "In the future, pay more attention to disciplining your child. His family


    education is really bad."


    Evelyn still hated Easton for calling her aunt, which made her ten years older.


    Meredith frowned slightly. Because Evelyn might be Amelia''s daughter, Meredith was already very


    polite to her.


    However, her arrogance and willfulness still made Meredith dislike her.


    "I will discipline my son by myself. If you really marry Derek, I will take my son away, and I don''t need


    anyone to have a hand in his education."


    Then, Meredith returned the shawl to Evelyn and left the bathroom.


    "Hmph..."


    Evelyn looked at her back and snorted.


    It sounded nice, but Meredith''s attitude did make her feel better.


    Meredith returned to her seat. Easton looked at her and pouted, "Mom, why have you been away for so


    long?"


    "Well, the stain on the clothes is not easy to clean, so Ie back a littlete. How about the food


    here? Is it good?"


    Meredith didn''t want Easton to know too much about the things of adults so she changed the subject.


    "Not bad. The pea flour cake is quite good. Mom, try it."


    Easton reached out his little hand and picked a snack for Meredith.


    However, since he grew up abroad, he was not very skilled in using chopsticks, so he did not pick it up


    several times and instead broke the pastry.


    Evelyn could not help but despise him. Derek saw that he had been trying for a long time and was


    about to ruin a te of pastries. Helplessly, he reached out and wrapped Easton''s small hand, helping


    him to pick up the pastry.


    "Here you are, mom."


    Easton smiled, looking innocent and cute.


    Meredith looked at his happy face and felt much more rxed. She leaned over and took the thing he


    was holding.


    "Thank you, Easton."


    Easton was ted.


    Evelyn looked at them with mixed feelings.


    Although she was sitting opposite Derek now, he didn''t even look at her. The three people were a


    happy family, and she seemed to be redundant here.


    "Miss Mason, Mr. Xavier and I still have business to discuss."


    Evelyn was so upset that she began to chase them away.


    Hearing what she said, Meredith lowered her eyes and said, "Well, in that case, we''ll leave first.


    Easton, let''s pack up the rest and eat at home, okay?"


    Easton wanted to refuse. If he left like this, wouldn''t he give them a chance to be alone...


    "After all, there are still some secrets that can''t be heard casually. I think Miss Mason must understand


    this as well."


    Meredith stood up, looking very serious.


    "Easton, let''s go."


    Easton saw that she was serious, so he didn''t make any more trouble. He winked at Derek, meaning


    that Derek should be good and didn''t do anything he shouldn''t do.


    When Derek saw the mother and son leaving, his expression suddenly became much colder.


    "It''s been a long time since we got here. Miss Smith should get down to business."


    Evelyn was helpless, but she didn''t know what to say. She was never interested in business matters.


    "I forgot to bring the documents. I''ll ask you out next time."


    Derek frowned at her, "If Miss Smith doesn''t know anything about thepany, you can call someone


    else to talk to me instead of using this excuse. It''s really not a good excuse."


    After saying that, Derek got up and left directly.


    After being lessoned face to face, Evelyn''s expression was not very good. But when she saw the man


    leaving with a straight figure, she felt even more excited.
