“Turn off the light if you don’t want the staff to see it live here.”
Serina looked up at the small lamp in the tent.
People would clearly see what was going on inside if the light was on. There was a similar video spreading online.
“Do you really want to do that here?”
“I do.” Derek turned off the light and immediately kissed Serina, not giving her any chance to turn him down.
The whole night’s craziness resulted in Serina catching a cold.
After swimming in the sea naked, one would catch a cold if he wasn’t careful enough. At that time, Derek carried Serina ashore without toweling her. Soon, they had sex. Inevitably, Serina had a cold.
Worse, she got her period.
Although it was summer, the seawater was cold. After soaking in it, Serina’s belly hurt.
Holding a roll of toilet paper, she squatted by the bed. She kept sneezing, with snot and tears running wildly.
Derek opened the door and walked in with a cup of brown sugar water. Seeing Serina squatting there, he frowned.
“Why are you squatting there?”
Serina sneezed and she tore a piece of toilet paper to wipe her nose. She threw the paper and said, “Obviously, you didn’t have a girlfriend before. During her period, if her belly hurts, squatting will alleviate the pain.”
Hearing this, someone occurred to Derek.
Serina squinted at Derek, “It’s all your fault! Why did you insist on swimming, naked? Well, it’s fine to swim. We had sex. I have a cold and my belly hurts.”
Derek regained his composure. He didn’t expect Serina to be so weak.
He handed the water to her and said, “Drink it.”
Serina took the cup which was warm. She felt comfortable.
After drinking a cup of hot brown sugar water, Serina felt that she was sweating.
Serina sneezed again. The snot was running from her nose, dangling. She looked funny.
Derek couldn’t help but laugh.
Serina hurriedly wiped off with the toilet paper. She sniffled hardly, “How can you laugh at me? It’s all your fault.”
Derek became serious again, “You didn’t sleep well last night. Now, take a nap.”
As he spoke, Derek bent down and carried Serina to the bed.
“Okay. Perhaps I’ll feel better after I get some sleep.” As Serina spoke, she immediately got under the covers.
The pain of her belly made Serina huddle herself up involuntarily.
Derek did not leave. Instead, he took a book and sat on the sofa, reading.
Tossing and turning, Serina couldn’t fall asleep. She sneezed from time to time. She had to wipe her nose every once in a while. What was worse, her belly hurt badly.
When a person felt uncomfortable, he inevitably thought of some sad things.
Something like signing a letter of severance with her father, dumping by Sammy and her mother as well.
Even though Serina was cheerful, a girl was usually like that. After all, she was a weak woman.
Thinking of her mother, Serina curled up and felt depressed.
It would be better if mom was here. She would stay with her and chew her out, saying that she shouldn’t eat much cold food when she got period. At the same time, she would feed her delicious food.
Serina sniffled again.
Derek looked up at her, “Haven’t she fallen asleep for such a long time?”
He put down the book and walked to the bed, “What’s wrong?”
“I miss my mother.”
Serina said with grievances.
This was the first time Serina mentioned her mother. He sent someone to investigate the Norrises before. Her parents were separated. But he didn’t know why Serina never mentioned her mother.
Serina rolled over and grabbed Derek’s arm, “Give me a hug, okay?”
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to approach him. How could he say no?
He quickly lifted the blanket and laid down beside Serina, holding her in his arms, “Sleep.”
He rested his warm big hand on her belly, gently rubbing.
In his warm arms, Serina felt much more comfortable. Finally, she fell asleep without frowning anymore.
Looking at her sleeping face, Derek gradually smiled.
Why was he so obsessed with her?
Looking at her, he would always think back several years ago.
Someone was knocking at the door.
There was a knock at the door.
Serina frowned. Derek gently kissed her forehead and got out of bed lightly.
He opened the door. Henry was standing there.
“What’s up?”
“Mr. Derek, Donald said Mr. Andrew was here.”
Derek turned to look at Serina. Then he walked out and closed the door.
“He came by fishing boat. Do you want to see him?”
Derek smiled disdainfully, “I think he’s desperate. Arrange him in another villa. I’ll be there in a moment.”
“Yes.”
Andrew was in the living room of a villa on Water Cloud Island, which was far away from the villa where Derek and Serina lived.
Sitting on the sofa, he was anxious. He stank of fish because of the fishing boat.
However, he had no choice. Water Cloud Island was closed and no boats would dock here. He gave a lot of money to the fishing boat to dock here.
He had to meet Derek immediately, otherwise, the Norrises and the Nathans would be doomed.
He waited in the living room for a while. Derek finally came.
Wearing pajamas, Derek treated Andrew like dirt.
Seeing Derek enter, Andrew immediately stood up and said, “Mr. Derek, you’re here.”
Derek couldn’t help but laugh when he smelled the smelly Andrew, “Mr. Andrew, I don’t know you are a fisherman now. You’re so capable.”
Andrew smiled awkwardly, “Mr. Derek, please don’t tease me. I’m here to discuss something important with you.”
“Oh? Something important? If I remember correctly, the Saint Group has stopped working with Mr. Andrew. I don’t think there is anything else important.”
Derek walked to the sofa and sat down like a king. Henry and Hayden were standing behind him.
“Mr. Derek, I’m gonna cut to the chase. Stopping working with our company, video of the Nathan Group and something about my daughter Clara, I think these things have something to do with you.”
“Do you have any proof of these claims?”
“An honest person doesn’t do shady things. Don’t you have the courage to admit it? Do you want me to show you evidence? Mr. Derek and my daughter Serina are together. Because I disowned her, so you get back at me, don’t you?”
