Chapter 181
After Violet calmed Chloe down, she called Derek back and asked him to spend some time with Chloe
to improve their relationship.
Derek looked at the expectations in the eyes of the three of them and agreed.
Chloe's heart was filled with joy. It was the same as that day, and she wanted to have Derek
accompany her.
After Derek agreed, he talked to her absent-mindedly. There was no longer that kind of talk between
the two of them in which they could chat with each other without reserve, so the topic became more
and more boring.
Derek only felt that the aftereffect of staying up late last night had come. If it was just that he didn't
sleep last night, he might have been able to stay awake now. But in order not to think of Meredith and
not let her disturb his thoughts, he had been forcing himself to immerse himself in work almost all night. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Even an iron man would find it difficult to endure such fatigue, so his eyelids became heavier and
heavier, and his speed of replying became much slower.
Chloe noticed that Derek had slowly closed his eyes. Her eyes fell on the dark patch under the man's
eyes, and her heart ached.
It seemed that he was very tired yesterday, but Chloe was very happy to have Derek sleep beside her.
Did this mean that he was not so resistant to her?
As she thought about it, she gently picked up a pillow, carefully placed it on the man's back, and
carefully looked at Derek's face.
Compared to his previous youthful and high-spirited appearance, Derek now had a bit more mature
man's charm. Even such a scene of falling asleep because of tiredness had an irresistible attraction.
Chloe looked at his lips. Derek's lips were a little dry, but the shape of the thin lips was still so perfect.
She seemed to be bewitched and guided by something, and she moved closer unconsciously.
Just as she was about to kiss him, the man's lips moved, spitting out a name she never wanted to hear
in her life.
"Meredith..."
Chloe froze. She looked at Derek in disbelief. She couldn't believe her ears.
He was still thinking about that woman in his sleep...
Thinking about it, Chloe seemed to be bewildered and couldn't help but look around Derek for traces of
that woman.
Soon, she saw a few scratches on the man's arm. They were clearly scratched by a woman.
At that moment, Chloe really wanted to wake him up hysterically and ask him why...
Could she be worse than a woman who went to jail? Why would he rather have Meredith than her?
However, Chloe held back. She knew that Derek had more guilt than love for her now. She had no right
to squander his guilt.
Chloe took a few deep breaths and took a look at Derek. She didn't disturb the man's sleep, but she
nestled beside Derek with a heavy heart.
After a while, Violet came back. Seeing the scene, she was relieved. It seemed that Chloe was still
special to Derek. If they continued to get along with each other like this, he would soon forget that
woman, Meredith.
Thinking about it, Violet left with satisfaction.
Asher looked at the harmonious and beautiful scene. He felt sad, but also somewhat gratified.
Perhaps Chloe would be satisfied and happy in this way. And then, he would content with his lot and he
would always protect her like this.
...
Derek slept for about an hour, and his fatigue gradually dissipated. Only then did the man open his
eyes and realize that he had fallen asleep in the ward. He couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that he had been a little lax with himself recently.
Just as he was about to get up, Derek saw that Chloe was sleeping on his lap. Looking at her quiet
sleeping face, the man couldn't bear to wake her up. After all, she was a patient, so let her be.
In fact, Chloe was not asleep at all. Thinking about Meredith, she was not sleepy at all. However, when
she realized that Derek had woken up but he did not wake her up, she felt more comfortable.
At the very least, he still had her in his heart. Then she could get him one day as long as she became
more important in his heart.
Thinking about it, Chloe pretended to sleep for a while, then she rubbed her eyes. "Ah, why did I fall
asleep on your lap..."
Derek smiled and did not answer.
Chloe blushed, lowered her head slightly and looked shy.
Derek didn't look at her much. He got up and moved his legs, which were numb from being pressed
down by Chloe. He said, "Since you're in good condition, I'll go back today. There are still some things I
need to do at the company."
Chloe nodded sensibly. After seeing the man leave, Asher came in.
"Asher, can I ask you something?"
Asher was startled. "There's nothing you need to request me to do."
"Can you help me find out what Derek has been doing recently?"
Chloe could still remember Derek calling Meredith's name in his dream. She always felt that things
were not as simple as Violet said.
She had to know Meredith's every move and leave her no chance.
Asher never rejected Chloe. So he nodded and agreed.
...
After Derek left the hospital, he did not return to the Xavier Group as he said. Last night, he had
finished all the work for the week, so he had a lot of free time now.
Perhaps, the free time could be used to keep a close eye on that disobedient woman.
With that in mind, Derek drove directly to the villa where Meredith was now. But he did not notice that
there was another car behind him which was always following him not far away.
Asher's men followed Derek for a while and then they left. It was because the road they were going to
pass was too remote. If they followed closely, they would probably be discovered.
Asher got the news and frowned. He suddenly remembered that Derek had bought a very secluded
villa in the suburbs. The way to go there seemed to coincide with Derek's route.
However, it was a remote place, and Derek would only go there on vacation for peace and tranquility. It
was obviously not the time for him to go there now. So, wasn't it because...
Who was there and that person attracted him to go there?
Asher had a guess in his heart and he sent someone over to continue the investigation. He couldn't
help but think that did Derek hide Meredith there?
...
When Derek arrived at the villa, Meredith was staring outside the window in a daze.
She was bored stiff here and she was in no mood to watch TV. So, this was the only thing that she
could do.
When Derek arrived, she only glanced at him and then looked away.
The man's eyes fell on Meredith's exposed body under her loose clothing. There were things he
irrationally asked Meredith to keep yesterday.
Just seeing them reminded Derek of that ecstatic and bewitching feeling.
Meredith was so embarrassed when she was being looked at by Derek like this. She turned around
and saw the desire in Derek's eyes. She was shocked. Yesterday, the doctor told her that although
pregnant women could have sex, they shall do it infrequently. If Derek had sex with her in that rude way
again, it would probably affect the child.
