Chapter 1587 Laura, I'm Very Happy
"If you want to do something to me, you can close the door." Derek's deep eyes flashed with an ambiguous smile.
"No way, that's your idea, not mine. You rogue." Laura had just finished speaking when she suddenly saw Maeve mischievously tug down Derek's robe collar, revealing a large patch of skin and Derek's faintly visible chest muscles.
Laura was shocked. It turned out Maeve was the real rogue.
Wait, where was Maeve's naughty little hand touching?
Laura hadn't even touched there.
"Maeve, stop it. It tickles." Derek helplessly pulled Maeve's little hand away.
Maeve shouted, seemingly thinking Derek was playing with her, and got even more excited.
"Do you want to play with me?" Derek lifted Maeve up and down.
After a few rounds, Maeve's laughter echoed in the living room.
Laura watched them, stunned.
Maeve really liked Derek. She hadn't been so happy with Laura.
Laura pouted and said jealously, "Maeve likes you more now."
Derek responded, "Isn't that great? After all, I'm going to be her stepfather."
"Shameless, who agreed to let you be her stepfather?" Laura laughed and scolded.
"No worries, I'll spoil Maeve so much that she won't want anyone else as her stepfather but me," Derek nudged Maeve's little nose with his, "Maeve, what do you think?"
Maeve laughed.
That scene made Laura feel very complicated, so she hummed, "You're a scheming man."
"If I weren't scheming, I wouldn't be able to pursue you." Derek freed one hand and pulled Laura into his arms.
He held Maeve on his right and Laura on his left.
Laura and Maeve looked at each other in his arms.
This warm and beautiful feeling was heartwarming, as if she and Maeve finally had someone to rely on.
But Laura only indulged for a few seconds before she shyly pushed his hand away and whispered, "Stop it, the door's not closed."
"I should've let you close the door earlier," Derek laughed, "Did you come to see me for something, or did you miss me?"
"We just had dinner together." Laura said on purpose.
Derek shook his head helplessly, "I missed you as soon as I left, so I had to take a cold shower."
Laura was silent. 'Wait, why do you need a cold shower? Were you thinking about something erotic?'
Under the chandelier, her face suddenly turned red.
"What's gotten into you?" She glared at him shyly and angrily.
"What?" Derek's handsome face looked innocent, "I miss you so much that I need to a cold shower to calm down. Is that not okay?"
The man smiled playfully, "What were you thinking, baby?"
"Alright, stop talking," Laura almost jumped, she was no match for him, "Derek, if you keep nagging, I won't give you your gift."
"So I have a gift too," Derek said wistfully, "Both my parents and Maeve got gifts, but I didn't. I thought you forgot about me."
"Am I that heartless?" Laura asked.
"Of course not," Derek said with a mischievous smile, "You deliberately gave it to me now so we'd be alone tonight. You missed me, didn't you?"
"Derek, that's enough." Laura's face turned red. Why did he always guess right? She did have that thought; she deliberately waited until the evening to give it to him, so she had an excuse to see him.
"Is that really the case?" Derek was delighted, his lips curling up, "Laura, I'm so happy."
Derek repeated it several times, his handsome face full of undisguised joy.
Laura bit her lip, suddenly not feeling so shy, replaced by a sweetness.
"I bought you a new outfit and a watch." Laura handed over the bag hanging on the crib.
"Come upstairs, I'll try it on." Derek carried Maeve upstairs.
Laura hesitated for a moment and followed.
Derek placed Maeve on the big bed in the bedroom, then untied his robe, exposing his strong body.
"Derek." Laura's face instantly turned red, and she instinctively turned around, complaining, "Why don't you try it on inside?"
"There's no one else here." Derek chuckled.
"Maeve is here," Laura retorted.
"Maeve doesn't understand anything, and I'm wearing underwear. As for you, my body belongs to you, so you don't need to avoid it." Derek forcibly turned her body around.
Her eyes landed on Derek's sexy throat, and further down, not only did her face heat up, but her body also inexplicably became hot.
Previously, he had sent her photos.
During her training, she often looked at them alone in her apartment, even secretly putting them in a confidential folder.
Now, the scenery from the photos appeared in front of Laura, creating a stronger impact, making her heart race.
"Hurry up and put on your clothes." She dodged and pushed him.
Derek looked at the shyness on her face, feeling amazed.
Laura had already had a child, yet she was still as shy about sex as a girl, which made her even more irresistible to a man.
If it weren't for Maeve here, he might really lose control.
Soon, he changed into the new outfit she bought, a dark brown plaid suit with a light blue shirt and tie.
He rarely wore suits, and only when he accompanied his parents to events, he wore low-key black suits.
It was his first time to wear such a youthful suit, whcih made him look as handsome as a nobleman from TV.
Laura was stunned.
Derek had always been low-key. He was the opposite of Michael, who was flamboyant, while Derek kept all his brilliance hidden.
In fact, Derek's appearance was no less than Joseph or Lucas. But Derek was too young, and because of his youth, he lacked the aura of a mature man.
"Are you stunned?" Derek raised an eyebrow and pinched her nose.
"Perfect," Laura hugged him, "Your previous clothes were too old-fashioned."
"Yes, this one isn't old-fashioned. I can keep it as my groom's outfit for our wedding." Derek said with a smile.
