Chapter 227
"Mind your own business!" The man roared when he was interrupted.
He opened the door angrily and wanted to kick the man out, but when he saw Derek, he retreated.
Though he didn't know Derek but he could feel the strong aura from his gaze.
He thought about it and decided that it wasn't worth it to offend a potential big shot for a waiter. He
looked back at the girl who was huddled in the toilet and said, "It's your lucky day."
Derek watched the man leave. He laughed himself for being officious. When did he become such a
kind and warm-hearted person?
"It's all right. Come out." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Derek was about to leave when the girl in the toilet reached out and grabbed his pants. "Sir, I'm scared.
Can you ... take me out with you?"
Her voice was trembling. It was obvious that she was extremely frightened, so Derek paused.
Perhaps, because he had drunk too much, he actually felt that her voice was very much like Meredith's.
He did not refuse.
The girl took his silence as yes. She quickly walked out and was stunned when she looked up at Derek.
Back then, she was so scared that she didn't dare to look at her life saver. But now, one gaze and she
was captivated by him.
She could tell the man came from Asia just like her from his face, but he was as tall as the foreigners.
His shirt was unbuttoned, mysteriously hot. That's the prince charming every girl would fall in love with.
"What are you doing?" Derek was a little impatient when he saw that she was in a daze. He had
somewhat regretted saving her.
"No... Nothing..." Seeing that Derek was unhappy, Freya stopped staring at him but followed along. "Sir,
my name is Freya. You saved me. I ... really don't know how to thank you."
Her voice amazed Derek. It sounded just like Meredith's. He thought for a moment and took out the
keys from his pocket. "I'm drunk. I can't drive myself home. Can you drive?"
Freya nodded and took the keys excitedly. She had been working at this luxurious hotel for some time,
so she knew that the keys must belong to a supercar.
She followed Derek carefully with excitement, helped him into the car, and then drove towards the
place he said.
...
At the hotel lobby.
"Miss, we're closing up."
It was almost twelve o'clock, the waiter from the hotel coffee shop came over and took a look at
Meredith.
"Oh... I see."
Meredith was in a daze, but she cleared her mind after hearing the words. She took out her cell phone
and then realized that it was almost midnight...
There were no missed calls nor messages. Derek didn't call back, nor did he reply.
Meredith was disappointed. What was Derek doing? Was he too busy to reply to her?
Thinking about it, Meredith was a little distracted again.
"Miss, we're closing up shop!"
The waiter glanced at Meredith strangely. It was weird that a pregnant woman would actually stay here
all night.
Meredith felt embarrassed when she noticed that the waiter was puzzled and impatient. She put down
a bill and left immediately.
However, as soon as she walked out, she couldn't help but shiver. The air conditioner in the coffee
shop was on, and it was warm and comfortable inside. She almost fell asleep. But now, it was
somewhat cold outside the shop.
"Where ... did he go?"
Meredith rubbed her arms but never thought of leaving like this. Instead, she clutched the file bag in her
hand. She must hand this paternity test to Derek today.
Meredith perked up and found a shelter, waiting.
Just then, a headlight lit up the dark road in front of her. Meredith was happy to see that it was Derek's
car. She quickly walked a few steps closer. "Derek, finally, you're back. I've been waiting for a long
time..."
Although Derek didn't talk to Freya on their way, she still felt satisfied. She was pleased to be able to
stay with such an excellent man, even if she was not close to him.
Unexpectedly, a pregnant woman came out of nowhere. Freya was startled. Just as she was about to
step on the brake, Derek's deep, hoarse voice suddenly sounded. "Ignore her!"
Freya was shocked to look at the woman walking over while talking something. But Derek didn't seem
like joking, so she didn't stop but drove past Meredith.
Meredith's happy smile froze on her face, and her eyes filled with disbelief as she watched the car drive
past her without even slowing down.
"Derek! It's me!"
Meredith yelled out. Freya glanced at the woman behind her in confusion.
It seemed that this woman knew Derek, but why...
"Don't be curious about things you shouldn't know."
Derek was also looking at Meredith through the rearview mirror. He could not see her expression
clearly in the dark, but judging from her voice, he knew that she could not accept what had happened.
However, she was pregnant, and it was impossible for her to catch up with his car. After only a few
steps, she stopped chasing. Her petite figure looked even more pitiful in the night...
Derek put on a serious face. For a moment, he even wanted the car to stop and get out of the car for
her, but he held back.
They couldn't be like this anymore.
"Sir, we're here." Freya did not know what had happened between them and did not dare to ask. She
regarded Meredith as a bad woman that pestered Derek, so she disliked Meredith.
It was shameless of a pregnant woman to pester a man.
Derek nodded, took out a check from his pocket, wrote down a large number, and threw it to Freya.
"You can go now."
Freya glanced at the number on it with surprise and longing. "Sir, let me help you out of the car and
deal with the nauseous woman that pesters you."
