Derek ignored her at his best since he was feeling hurt. He through the phone to the bed. Fred forwarded him what Taaliyah had sent and asked about Derek. And he no longer received the messages from her. Derek understood that Taaliyah understood how he is ignoring her. But he had no choice. Talking to her might end up in a fight where he definitely would ask about Danny to her and she will feel bad about it. But he had no idea about how his moments with Min Ah were affecting her just like him. But she never overreacted.

He wished to be distracted. And at the right time, his father walked on. "Derek," John called. "Am leaving tonight, back to Y city," he said. "Have to report back to work, I cannot get leaves any longer,"
