Derek frowned.
“It’s at Moon Island Restaurant. Her name is Zoe, the daughter of Webber Group’s president,” Henry said slowly.
“Call Ms. Lauren back and tell her that I’m busy these days,” Derek said in a displeased tone.
“Ms. Lauren said on the phone that everything had been settled. I’m afraid it’s not easy to refuse.”
Derek closed the newspaper in his hand with displeasure.
Henry leaned forward slightly and said, “Mr. Derek, even if you can refuse this time, you won’t always be able to refuse in the future. As you know, Ms. Lauren has always taken a fancy to Miss Zoe. This blind date will definitely happen sooner or later.”
“Huh? A blind date?”
Serena’s high-pitched voice suddenly came from behind.
Derek and Henry turned around and looked to Serena together.
Serena took an ice cream in her hand and walked over, saying, “Great Demon… Derek, are you going on a blind date? I can’t believe that a man like you will go on a blind date! This is really weird.”
Henry bent down towards Serena in a very respectful manner and said, “Ms. Serena, a blind date is inevitable for the man from a wealthy family. With Mr. Derek’s status, it is natural that he has no time to make friends with girls. Moreover, he can only be with a girl whose background is not ordinary, so you know….”
Derek raised his hand towards Henry in displeasure. Seeing this, Henry hurriedly shut his mouth.
Serena scooped up a spoon of ice cream and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, “Why don’t you let him continue?”
“There’s nothing to continue,” Derek said coldly.
Serena swallowed the ice cream in her mouth and said, “Actually, I think this is a good thing! Derek, don’t you know that you’re 27 this year? It’s already late to get married at 25. So it’s time for you to carry on the family line.”
At this point, Serena scooped up another spoon of ice cream and put it into her mouth. As she ate, she said, “How miserable is it for your Maynard family to have no heir with such a large estate? As a result, there will be many people coveting your family’s fortune. Without any descendants, the standing of a family might be undermined.”
Derek smiled evilly. Since when would Serena preach like this?
“Continue.”
“So, you should find someone to get married and have children. This is the most important thing!”
Serena licked the ice cream at the corner of her mouth and said, “As for me, I don’t want to be a dog in the manger. We should divorce as soon as possible. Otherwise, I may hinder other girls’ happiness!”
Derek snorted. This was her real purpose!
This brat!
“Am I right? Mr. Henry, you’re older and more experienced than us. What do you think? Am I right?”
Henry stood at the side and smiled awkwardly. He could already see Derek’s displeased expression.
Serena sat beside Derek and patted Derek’s shoulder, saying, “When will we divorce? I am very obliging. I won’t take anything from your family!”
Derek looked at his shoulder that had been patted by Serena and smiled evilly, saying, “Serena, has it been a week since the last time?”
“What? What are you talking about?” Serena was confused.
“The doctor said no sex for a week. It seems that a week has passed, so….”
He raised his eyebrows and did not continue.
Serena was so frightened that she immediately took a few steps back, saying, “Well … I didn’t say anything!”
With that, she quickly ran upstairs.
Derek glanced in the direction where she had left, then turned to Henry and said, “Tell Ms. Lauren that I will be there tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
Serena took the ice cream and directly returned to the bedroom. Derek hadn’t slept in the bedroom for the past few days, and he rarely came over. She felt the bedroom became the safest place for her.
As she was enjoying the ice cream, Serena’s phone suddenly rang.
It was a WeChat message sent by Sammy!
Serena hurriedly picked up her phone.
“Serena, I really can’t go with you at the wedding. After all, this is about the reputation of the Nathan family. I’ve thought about it for a long time and decided to talk it over with you.”
“What do you want to talk about?” Serena immediately replied.
“Let’s talk about us. I find that something is wrong with Clara these past days. She seems to be going to abort the child and start filming again.”
Seeing the message sent by Sammy, Serena was almost able to feel how distressed Sammy was at the other end of her phone.
“To kill her own child? Why is she so ruthless?”
“I also find it too unbelievable. I accidentally discovered that she contacted the gynecologist. Serena, is she a wolf in sheep’s clothing?”
“Of course! She can only hoodwink the idiot like you!”
She had told him long ago that Clara was not a good woman, but he did not believe it!
“Then what should I do now?”
Serena was silent for a moment and said, “Are you available tomorrow night? Let’s meet.”
“Yes, I am. Where shall we meet?”
“I can’t decide for the time being. I’ll text you later.”
“Alright.”
Serena sighed. Although she no longer had any hope for Sammy, after all, it’ll still be good for him to clearly see Clara’s true colors now!
However, if she wanted to go out to meet Sammy, it would probably take her some effort!
In the evening, Derek was in the study again. Serena didn’t know if he was busy working or reading.
Suddenly, a faint voice came from the door.
“Derek, may I come in?”
The door opened.
Serena gently pushed open the door and asked, “Are you busy?”
Derek said without raising his head, “Is there anything wrong?”
Serena took her homemade tapioca pudding and said, “I made a bowl of tapioca pudding. Do you want to eat it?”
Derek put away the book in his hand and smiled at Serena, asking, “What? You want something, right?”
Serena smiled and placed the bowl in front of Derek.
Derek lowered his head and saw that it was brightly colored and looked very appetizing. He had to admit that this little girl’s cooking skills were indeed not bad.
“Try it! It’s delicious!”
“Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Serena rubbed her hands and said, “You’re going on a blind date tomorrow, right?”
Derek stared at Serena in confusion. What was this little girl planning?
“Can I go with you?”
“You?”
“I know my identity is a bit awkward. After all, I am your legal wife now. It’s a bit strange to accompany you to go on a blind date, but I am a person with great curiosity. I just want to see … what kind of woman will go on a blind date with you.”
“Really?”
Serena nodded repeatedly.
