Chapter 136: 136. His mother's favourite

Derek got home around 9pm. Be was exhausted from all the happenings in the day. Deciding to relax and not think about anything again, he went to his room and changed into grey gym pants and headed for the gym.

Since it was on the same floor, he didn't wear anything on top. He just took a white towel and a water bottle. He did some push ups and heavy lifts for some minutes before heading back to his room, straight into the shower and then he headed down to see what he could eat.

It was really late so he didn't want to eat the meal Esther had set to warm in the microwave for him. He told her to toss it into the fridge for the next day and made himself some ginger and aloe vera smoothie.

Esther always cringed at that smoothie Derek sometimes made for himself. She could never get used to that bitter taste of aloe vera. And combining that with ginger? Yikes! She always wanted to puke just by the thought of that liquid near her mouth.
