‘Why doesn’t Derek get a divorce?’
‘Does he really fall in love with Serena? Or is Serena useful for him?’
“Derek! I hope you think about it carefully. Serena is a simple girl. Please let her go for my sake, okay?”
“What do you mean by saying ‘let her go’?” Derek looked up and said, “I will take good care of her.”
Ernest was stuck for words again.
After a moment of silence, Ernest nerved himself again. “Derek, aren’t you afraid that the little grandmother will know about this?”
Derek stopped suddenly. He looked up at Ernest, and his gaze was meaningful and scary.
Ernest was frightened by his gaze.
He swallowed his saliva, “Derek, if the little grandmother finds out that you have married secretly, she will be angry. You … you … you should divorce Serena and let her go before the little grandmother knows about that!”
“Ernest, I’m not available to care about you lately. Don’t piss me off!”
“I … I’m just reminding you. Don’t … don’t let the little grandmother know about this.”
“She won’t know,” Derek said in a deep voice.
Ernest finally understood. It seemed that Derek had made up his mind and wouldn’t let Serena off.
Ernest closed his eyes and calmed down, “Derek, Serena is my best friend! I beg you. Please let her go. If … if … if you don’t let her go….”
“So what?” Derek raised his eyebrows.
“I will … I will tell the little grandmother!” Ernest had risked his life!
Derek widened his eyes and his eyes shone with light. “You’re threatening me.”
“Sort … of! This is all my fault. I accidentally took the wrong ID, so you married her. I’ll take all the responsibility. You can beat or scold me but let Serena go. She’s innocent. She is pitiful that she can’t return home.”
“She lives here. Why is she pitiful? I’ll get even with you for your mistake,” Derek snorted.
Ernest stood up and said, “Derek, I have never disobeyed you since I was young, but you hurt my best friend this time! Derek, if you don’t agree, I will tell little grandmother!”
After saying that, Ernest walked straight to the door.
“If you tell your grandmother, she will be the first to die!”
Derek’s gloomy voice came from behind. Ernest felt as if his feet were nailed to the ground and he could not move at all.
Ernest slowly turned around and his eyes were filled with fear. “Derek, you … you say….”
Derek snorted softly, “Did you tell Serena that I was a gay?”
Ernest was surprised and didn’t say anything.
“So, you must also know about Marco Stanley.”
Ernest looked down. Naturally, he knew about Marco. It was said that Marco was a man and had a relationship with Derek once.
Ernest inadvertently learned from Derek’s servants before. According to rumors, Derek was a gay and liked men. The cause of these rumors was Marco.
“Aren’t you curious about where Marco went?”
“Where … where did he go?”
“You can ask your grandmother about where Marco went when you complain to her.”
Ernest’s body was rigid with fear and his hair stand on end.
“Go out. Don’t disturb me.”
Derek asked Ernest to leave.
Ernest was at a loss for a long time before he slowly walked out of the study like a walking corpse.
When he walked out of the study and leaned against the door, he felt limp.
They all said that his grandmother, Lauren, was ruthless, but he didn’t believe it. Although Lauren in his eyes was a little serious, she was still very concerned about him.
But today, hearing Derek’s words, Ernest believed it.
Lauren married a man who was twenty years older than her, and she was powerful in the complicated family. Lauren must be smart!
Lauren couldn’t know about this matter. Otherwise, Serena’s result would be like Marco’s!
Ernest found Serena who was feeding the fish in the garden.
“Hi, Ernest! Look at the fat goldfish here. I wonder if they are delicious after I stew them.”
Serena said as she sprinkled the bait.
“You won’t forget food at any time!” Ernest sat on the big rock beside Serena.
“What’s wrong? You look worried.”
“I went to negotiate with Derek and asked him to let you go.”
“Really? How is it? Did he listen to you?”
Ernest shook his head.
Serena raised her hand and slapped the back of Ernest’s head. “I know you are useless!”
“Let me ask you something, what has happened between you and Derek during my absence?”
Serena rolled her eyes and said, “Nothing.”
Of course, she wouldn’t tell Ernest that Derek was eager to sleep with her!
If something happened, it must be in bed!
“Impossible!”
“Why is it impossible? I won’t lie to you!” Serena turned her head to the side and continued to feed the fish with the bait.
“Derek has taken a fancy to you!”
Serena choked on her own saliva, coughed and flushed, “Stop joking!”
“I also find it strange. Derek is a gay and likes men. Why does he like you?”
In Ernest’s opinion, it was strange that Derek liked Serena!
Not to mention that Derek liked men, even if he liked women, it was unlikely that he would like Serena!
Serena was usually lively, and her appearance was somewhat cute. She shouldn’t be Derek’s style.
Moreover, Derek and Serena had only known each other for few days.
Love at first sight? In Ernest’s eyes, love at first sight was something that could not happen to Derek!
Besides, when Derek and Serena met for the first time, Serena was drunk. No one would fall in love with a drunken woman at first sight!
It was strange! Could it be that this was not the first time they had met?
Serena pushed Ernest. “What are you thinking about, Ernest?”
“Nothing! I’m wondering why Derek doesn’t agree to divorce.”
“Don’t worry. I will let him divorce.”
“You?”
“That’s it. I can do it. It’s not easy to make someone like me, but I’m pretty good at making someone hate me!”
Ernest didn’t believe her.
Even though he didn’t believe her, there was nothing he could do. That afternoon, he received a notice from the dramatic team. They asked him to return to shoot.
Ernest knew that this was definitely Derek’s arrangement.
Once again, only Derek and Serena remained in the Crystal Palace.
Fortunately, Derek hadn’t returned to the bedroom to rest for the past few days. They lived in peace with each other.
In the living room, Derek was reading the latest international economic newspapers.
Henry walked over and said, “Mr. Derek, Mrs. Maynard said that she had arranged a blind date for you tomorrow night.”
