I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 465: The Seed Wasn't Good

A good marriage can heal all of a woman's misfortunes. Meeting Terrence Sterling was the luckiest thing for Meredith.

After a passionate kiss, he released her, took her hand, and led her to the dining table. "Shall we have a drink? This is red wine, you can drink it. There's also karaoke equipment here, so if you're in the mood, you can sing a couple of songs." The place was like a multifunctional KTV, equipped with everything.

Meredith chuckled softly. "I sing terribly. I'm tone-deaf and never on pitch. Every time I sing, it's in a different key."

She recalled going to KTV with Fiona Woods and Justin after graduating from college, full of youthful enthusiasm. Fiona had teased her for being tone-deaf, and Justin had joked that while others charged money to sing, she would need to pay people to listen.

Those beautiful times were long gone.

Terrence handed her the microphone. "Give it a try. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you if you don't sing well."

His words were familiar; Fiona had once encouraged her to sing the same way.

Terrence selected a few classic old songs on the screen, ones that were well-known and easy to hum along to even if you couldn't sing.

Meredith shook her head. "No, no, you sing first."

She felt a bit embarrassed; her singing voice was really not something to showcase.

"Alright." Terrence smiled warmly and chose the song "Crazy for Love." As the melody began, Meredith was stunned the moment he started singing.

He had chosen this song, and his voice was beautiful. Meredith sat quietly on the sofa, listening intently.

Holding the microphone, he gazed at her deeply, singing with such emotion that Meredith was entranced.

She hadn't expected the usually serious Terrence Sterling to sing so well. It was a delightful experience. Meredith clasped her hands under her chin, gazing back at him. Their eyes met, and in the heartfelt lyrics, memories of their past two years together flooded back.

From initial panic and uncertainty to wholehearted acceptance, and now having a happy family, she realized how much time had quietly passed.

In two years, they had been through so much. Thankfully, he had always been by her side.

As she thought about it, tears welled up in Meredith's eyes from the overwhelming emotion.

Terrence switched to a light instrumental track, stood up, walked over, took her hand, and wrapped his arm around her waist as they swayed slowly to the music.

With him leading the rhythm, Meredith quickly followed. In the romantic atmosphere, they danced and sang softly, enjoying their time together.

She leaned on his shoulder, swaying gently.

Red wine was the best aphrodisiac. Meredith remembered how she had gotten drunk at a department gathering and ended up in the wrong room.

Recalling the past felt like a dream to Meredith. "If I had been unlucky back then and walked into the wrong room with a terrible man, my life might have been ruined." Terrence firmly said, "It wouldn't have been ruined."

Curious, she looked up and asked, "Why?"

He replied earnestly, "Because you hid so well. Not everyone is as smart as I am to find you."

Hearing this, Meredith burst into laughter.

"You call that smart?" Meredith teased him. "It took you so long to find me when I was right in front of you."

"I remember back in Meriton, before your car accident, you said something." Terrence smiled subtly and continued deliberately, "I later thought carefully about what you said." Meredith blushed. "Did you remember?"

"I did." He whispered in her ear with a deep voice, "It was a misunderstanding back then. Didn't I later plant a seed? It's my fault for having bad seeds before; they didn't succeed in one go." His words made Meredith laugh out loud.

It was the first time she heard a man blame himself for having bad seeds.

Meredith laughed. "You're teachable. Not blaming others is good."

"Our fate was decided by my grandmother and your grandfather. You can't escape it." He said tenderly, "Meeting you in this life is enough."
