Derek would never compromise on this issue.
He pinched Serina’s chin and slowly lifted her face.
“Serina, you are mine! Keep it in your mind.”
Derek was domineering and arrogant. Serina felt that she had no choice but to obey.
Derek was very masculine now in Serina’s eyes.
“Do you remember that?”
Serina nodded blankly.
“Be good.” Derek kissed Serina on her lips before letting go of her chin.
“I’m leaving.”
He should have left. But he wanted to stay longer.
Serina put on her pajamas and got out of bed, “Be careful on your way back home.”
“Okay.” Derek didn’t say anything else and left with a dark face.
Serina thought that she said something wrong. Derek was mad at himself. He didn’t want to leave, even he had to.
After Derek left, Serina felt that the apartment was empty.
She sat in front of her computer and turned it on. She saw the chat between Ernest and her.
She suddenly realized that she had missed their appointment!
Ernest told her that he would come over. Why hadn’t he showed up yet?
Serina turned on her phone and called him.
Ernest, smoking in his car, saw Serina’s phone number on his phone.
“Hello,” he answered the call with a hoarse voice.
“Ernie, you said that you would come over to see me. Where are you now?”
“I’m…”
“No matter wherever you are, go back to your home immediately!”
“Why?”
“Your uncle is on his way to go back home. He will hit you if you are not there!”
“Serina, how do you know that?” Ernest was amused.
Serina bit her lips, “I went downstairs to buy some groceries. I saw his car. I assume that he has gone back home.”
“Really?”
Even knowing that she didn’t tell the truth, Ernest did not dare to debunk her.
The more closely they were, the more Ernest was afraid to lose her. He worried that they could not be friends if he made any mistakes.
“What’s wrong with you? You sound strange.”
Serina could tell over the phone that Ernest was strange.
“I’m fine. I got held up. Since my uncle is on his way coming back, I won’t meet you today.”
After pausing a moment, Ernest continued, “Serina, have you signed the divorce agreement?”
“No, not yet,” Serina replied.
“Why haven’t you signed it yet?”
“Your uncle is so smart. I am afraid that he will set me up. I will ask someone to check it for me. Anyway, I will divorce Derek once I sign the paper! There is no rush.”
Ernest said with a bitter smile, “It’s up to you. I have got to go. Good night.”
“Good night.”
Hanging up the phone, Serina took a deep breath and put her phone aside.
In the early next morning, the only matter in Serina’s mind was to call her mother to discuss the port cabotage right.
She called Yolanda.
“My dear Mommy.”
Hearing Serina’s sweet voice, Yolanda knew that her darling daughter would ask for a favor.
“I know you have something to tell me. Say it now.”
“You are so smart.”
“Stop flattering me!”
“Mom, can you grand Derek the S City of port cabotage right?” Serina asked.
“You are still with him, aren’t you?” Yolanda was furious.
Serina was being cute and said, “Mommy.”
“Stop! I’ve told you many times that you are not allowed to be with Derek!”
“If you divorce him right now, I will grand him the port cabotage right.” Yolanda tried to convince Serina.
“I have divorced him!” Serina said.
“Why do you plead for him then?” Yolanda didn’t even buy what Serina said.
“We are still friends. You’ve promised that you will grant him the right after we divorced, haven’t you? I have the paper in my hand!”
“Really? Good. Show it to me!”
Yolanda hung up the phone.
Serina looked at the phone in her hand in a daze.
Her mother didn’t trust her.
She had to go to S City.
Serina took out the divorce agreement from a drawer and signed it. She could tear this paper after she showed it to her mother.
Serina went to S City and brought the divorce agreement with her.
Yolanda thought that Serina didn’t tell her the truth. Unexpectedly, Serina showed her the divorce agreement.
She even saw the Saint Group’s lawyer’s seal and Derek’s seal on the paper. It looked real.
“Mom, I’ve said that we are divorced! This is a real divorce agreement!”
“Are you really divorced?”
Yolanda was suspicious. Derek would rather lose half of the Saint Group’s property and rejected to divorce Serina. What made him change his mind?
“Yes! My dear mommy, how many times do I have to repeat? Are you sorry for losing a rich son-in-law? I can try to get him back if that makes you happy.”
Yolanda pushed Serina’s forehead, “Nonsense! You are not allowed to see him again in the future!”
“Sure. Could you grand him the port cabotage right?”
“It will be arranged soon,” Yolanda glanced at Serina.
“Thank you, my dear mother!”
“Behave yourself. You are a screenwriter now. Get your focus on your work. You’ve grown up!”
Serina answered impatiently, “Got it. You’ve reminded me million times.”
Serina had to stay in S City because Yolanda asked her.
Serina had missed Derek on the first night at home.
She hid under the blanket and called Derek.
The call was connected and answered by Hayden, instead of Derek.
“Ms. Serina, Mr. Derek is still in a meeting. What can I do for you? Would you like to leave a message?”
“No, it’s unnecessary.”
Serina hung up the phone disappointedly.
He was still at work.
Why was he so busy?
Serina fell asleep. She was woken up by the phone at the midnight.
Serina answered, “Hello.”
“Are you sleep?”
Derek’s magnetic voice came through over the phone. He sounded tired but attractive!
Serina suddenly opened her eyes.
