Chapter 469
Derek, who was far away in H Country, sneezed.
Easton saw this and looked up. "Dad, did you catch a cold?"
Derek shook his head. He rarely got sick. Of course, he didn't catch a cold.
"Tomorrow, our kindergarten is on holiday. The teacher has arranged a task, asking us to do the parent-
child interaction. I'll go to the company to find my mother. Then when you all get off work, we'll go to the
zoo together. How about that?"
Easton said with a smile, holding up an iPad in his hand with a picture of the zoo on it.
It was the world's largest wildlife park where one could see cheetahs, tigers, and pandas. Easton had
long wanted to go.
Derek thought about it. Easton usually liked to go to the Xavier Group to wait for Meredith after school.
Now she took the initiative to resign. If Easton knew, he didn't know what Easton would do...
However, it might not be a bad thing to make a scene.
After all, it was only when Meredith stayed at the Xavier Group that he had the advantage of gaining
the upper hand as he was close to her.
"Your mother resigned today."
Thinking about it, Derek said it directly.
Easton became angry upon hearing this.
Now, Easton could see his parents directly after school. He had only been enjoying this for a few days
and he wouldn't have the opportunity to enjoy this in the future?
"Dad, what's wrong with you? You let mom resign? Can you find another good designer like mom? Did
you say something to make her unhappy?"
"Then you can help me ask."
Derek took out his phone and handed it to Easton.
Easton glanced at Derek. Easton was smart. He knew that his cunning father deliberately set this trap
for him. But he...
He was willing to jump into the trap.
He skillfully pressed a few buttons and dialed the number. Soon, Meredith answered the phone.
Easton purposely said in a pitiful voice, "Mom, I heard that you resigned."
Meredith had just finished wiping Amelia's body. When she heard her baby's aggrieved voice, she felt a
little guilty and resented Derek a little as he said everything to the child.
"Mom has to take care of grandma. If I don't resign, I will take a leave every day. My colleagues must
have something to say."
"Who dares have something to say? I'll fire anyone if he/she has something to say!"
Easton patted his chest, full of arrogance.
It was rare that Derek did not despise his son's cocky look. Instead, Derek nodded in agreement.
"Easton..." Meredith couldn't help but feel speechless. If Easton really did this, she would be notorious.
"Mom, I know it's hard for you to take care of grandma, but can you not quit your job and just take a
long vacation? In the future, I can still go to the corporation to look for you. Things will also be
convenient for you, me, and dad. What do you think?"
Meredith listened to the soft voice and didn't know what to say. Her only weakness was Easton.
She had been absent for five years when he was growing up. She felt guilty about this, so she wanted
to be with him more. She would not hesitate to agree to Easton's request as long as she could accept.
But...
Meredith bit her lip.
"Easton, I'm not going to have less time to be with you just because I resigned. Mom has already
thought it through. Can you understand?"
It was the first time Easton had found that Meredith was in such a dilemma. For a moment, he also
didn't know what to say.
Meredith remained silent as Easton didn't say anything.
Easton thought about it and finally agreed, "Well, I don't know what to say about adult's business, but
you need to promise that you won't spend less time staying with me just because you resigned."
When Meredith heard this, she felt that her precious son was such a good boy. "Of course, you are
mother's baby. How can I not stay with you?"
Easton's face relaxed a little. He hung up the phone, and then looked at Derek helplessly. It was as if
he thought that his father failed to live up to his expectations. "Dad, tell me the truth. What did you do to
make mom so determined to leave? Did anyone find out about your office romance?"
Derek glanced at Easton. Even Easton was rejected. This showed how determined Meredith was.
"Watch less of those soap operas in the future."
Derek took the phone back, didn't want to talk to Easton, and went straight into the study.
Easton was so angry as he saw Derek don't want to talk with him. He complained to Nanny Zhang,
"Grandma, did you also think that my father went too far? He did something wrong and implicated me.
Now he's still venting his anger on me. Hmph."
Although Meredith resigned, she still had to go back and deal with her remaining work.
When the designers in Group B learned that Meredith resigned to take care of the patients at home,
they all gave her their blessings and comforts.
They didn't spend much time together. But Meredith was an approachable person and wouldn't
squeeze her employees and took credit for herself, so she was quite popular.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Damian waited outside. When he saw Meredith come out, he said,
"Mr. Xavier is waiting for you upstairs."
"Okay."
Meredith followed him upstairs.
The office of the Xavier Group was still the same. It made her feel that she returned to the days when
she worked as a small assistant here.
"Have you finished all the formalities?"
When Derek saw Meredith come in, he stopped writing and looked over.
"Well, it's almost done."
Meredith handed Derek her resignation. She couldn't leave until Derek signed her resignation.
"You still have something to do. Have you forgotten?"
Derek looked at the resignation in front of him and did not sign his name. Instead, he changed the
subject.
Meredith was taken aback. She had already finished everything.
Was Derek deliberately making things difficult for her?
"The design exhibition a few days ago is coming to an end this afternoon. There will also be an award
list. As a competitor, you must attend it."
Only then did Meredith remember that she had also participated in that design exhibition. She had
been too busy recently and had been so focused on Amelia's illness that she had forgotten about it.
"I see. I'll go."
Meredith nodded. It was not her style not to carry things through to the end. She also wanted to see
who had won the prize.
"Well, go back and get ready. When it's over, you will give a speech. You need to prepare a speech
draft."
With that said, Derek quietly pushed aside the resignation in front of him.
Meredith didn't notice anything wrong and walked out. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Derek then threw the resignation to Damian, who was standing aside. "Take it to the shredder."
Damian looked at the thing in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. As expected, the boss was smart.
Although he promised on the surface, no one could have thought that he would do this.
If the boss didn't sign the resignation, the resignation wouldn't take effect.
Meredith was still too young and naive.
