Chapter 282
It was as complicated as knocking over a seasoning can.
Looking at Derek's still handsome, sculpted face, she was flustered for a few seconds, and even had a
feeling that everything she saw at this moment was an illusion.
Meredith stunned for a moment, subconsciously wanted to run away from Derek.
However, it was unfortunate that she tripped.
"Ah..." Meredith shook her body and let out an exclamation. Then, she quickly covered her mouth.
Too presumptuous. Her voice...
Derek couldn't hear it clearly, right?
Feeling the body's center of gravity fell backward, Meredith felt that she was really stupid that she
would fall down in front of Derek like this. When she was about to accept this embarrassing thing, the
man in front of her suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her.
Clothes.
After doing this, Derek himself felt incredible.
He was a neat freak, and the person in front of him looked plain and ordinary, with thick glasses and
freckles all over his ordinary face. She would never be the person he could be interested in.
But...
A familiar feeling made him do it without knowing the reason.
Meredith was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why did Derek help her, but her heart was still
uneasy. After she was able to stand still, Meredith took a few quick breaths before calming down.
"Thank you." Meredith was embarrassed and agitated and wanted to disappear right away.
However, she still thanked him in a low voice. If she just ran away without looking back, it would only
arouse suspicion.
Derek stared at her. Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of vicissitudes. It had no resemblance to
Meredith's soft and cool voice.
Then why did he have the illusion that he heard Meredith's voice?
"Who are you? Didn't anyone tell you that this room can't be entered at will?"
Derek let go of his hand and spat out harsh words coldly.
"Well, I'm the new nanny. I don't know the rules..." Meredith was a little surprised, but she apologized in
a humble manner.
This room should have become a forbidden place in the house?
Why did Derek look so concerned?
What was he up to? Did he think that she, the previous master of the room had dead was unlucky, so
he was afraid that someone would disturb the dead and bring disaster to him?
Just as Meredith's mind was in a mess, Amelia walked out because she found that Derek hadn't come
back for a long time and heard the noise outside.
Then, she saw the two of them in a confrontation.
Her heart almost stopped in fear.
Was it exposed?
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I accidentally walked into mistress's room. I'm sorry."
Meredith immediately put away her divergent thoughts and apologized in a low voice.
It seemed that nothing had been exposed.
Amelia breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Derek. "Come here. I have something to say."
Then, she handed the child to Meredith. "You take young master to bed firs

Meredith became nervous. Looking at the child in Amelia's arms, her breathing slowed down.
This was her child...
Easton seemed to be tired, so he was sleeping soundly. His small face looked much better than when
he was born. It should be said that he had grown up. A few hairs had grown out, and he looked like a
little doll, which was very cute.
Meredith could hardly move her feet. She looked at the child in a daze and almost burst into tears.
Derek looked at this scene and he felt something was wrong.
This woman, no matter how much she liked children, shouldn't be behaved like this?
It was as if she had seen her own child. Something was wrong with her.
"No, I don't believe this person."
Derek interrupted their communication.
Easton now was the most precious person of the Xaviers, how could he give it to someone he didn't
believe?
No, absolutely not.
"..."
Meredith looked up and saw the vigilance in Derek's eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "But, your
conversation will disturb young master's sleep. I'll be in the Masons and I can't run away. Let me watch
him!"
Meredith was reluctant to give up on the chance to get along with the child that she had finally gotten.
"..."
Derek was silent for a moment. "You hold the child and stay where I can see it. Otherwise, I'll do it
myself..."
Derek said this on purpose. This person was really suspicious. Although there was no evidence and
her face and voice were unfamiliar, Derek still felt that she was very familiar. That familiar feeling made
him suspicious.
Although he rationally understood the fact that Meredith was no longer there and was buried by
himself, in the end, he was still unwilling to admit it was the reality.
Seeing that Derek was decisive, Meredith had no choice but to agree.
Holding the child, she followed them to where they could see her. She hid in the corner. Easton was still
sleeping and didn't cry.
Meredith hugged him like this. Although the baby was only a few months old, it was already a little
heavy. It was not an easy job for Meredith, who had been sick all this time, to carry him around.
But she couldn't bear to let go. She wanted to hold her child forever and never leave.
Amelia glanced at Meredith's position a few times and then looked at the landing of Derek.
Seeing that he didn't seem to have any strange reaction, she was slightly relieved, opened a contract,
and handed it over.
Now, she had taken over the Masons completely. But Amelia insisted on not accepting any help from
the Xaviers. She did not want the Xaviers to meddle in her family affairs, nor did she want to owe the
Xaviers a favor.
After all, this kind of debt was hard to repay.
However, in order to buy time for Meredith and the children, Amelia specially prepared this contract for
Derek to see.
Derek looked at the contract, but he was a little absent-minded. From time to time, his mind drifted to
the quiet woman in the corner of the room.
She was now carrying Easton and walking gently, her ordinary face filled with indulgence, which made
her ordinary face more touching and gentle.
But...
Derek looked at her hand gestures to hold the child. Her posture was not very skillful. Although she
was careful, he could tell at a glance that this was the first time she had done such a thing.
Why would someone like that be called by Amelia to take care of the baby?
"When did this nanny come? Last time, I haven't seen her."
Derek looked at the contract casually and pretended to ask casually.
Amelia was not surprised at all. She answered with a well-prepared reason, "She's also a poor person.
I saw that she had nowhere to go, so I took her in. I saw that she liked children, so I asked her to do
some childcare work."
