“Thus, ever since she passed away, Mr. Derek’s temperament has changed greatly. He became very cold and indifferent, but he was very filial to Mr. Andrew and Mrs. Maynard. He was and will never disobey them.”
Serina lowered her head. She had never expected that Derek, who looked cold, had such a sentimental side.
Henry paused and continued, “Ms. Serina, you have seen the woman Mrs. Maynard sent to him…”
Hearing this, Serina suddenly raised her head. If he didn’t mention it, she almost forgot.
Now and then, different women would come to serve Derek!
“After he turned twenty-two, Mrs. Maynard felt that he was old enough. It was right for him to have physiological needs, so she specially arranged it for him. However, she thought that women were all troublesome. If he has too many thoughts about a woman, it will take away his energy.”
Serina touched her ears. Did she hear wrong?
“Mr. Henry! What are you saying? Don’t you think it’s absurd? This is a modern society!”
[Why did it feel like Derek’s mother was the empress in ancient times?]
“You think it’s absurd too, right? Mr. Derek thought it was absurd too, but he didn’t refute it. Instead, he accepted these women as she wished…”
“Accepted? You mean that Derek had a relationship with all of these women?”
“Of course not. When there is a policy, there will be a solution. Mr. Derek just stayed in the same room with these women. Nothing happened. To shut these women’s mouths, he will give them extra money.”
Serina silently breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that nothing happened.
“Not even one?”
Henry shook his head, “he is not a promiscuous person. You also know that he has mysophobia. How could he casually sleep around?”
Serina nodded. She was quite happy to know that Derek had never touched anyone else.
Seeing the happy expression on Serina’s face, Henry continued, “Ms. Serina, the Maynard family’s situation is rather special. In recent years, because of the economic crisis in the world, the benefits of the Saint Group are indeed not as good as before.”
“I don’t think so. Isn’t the Saint Group invincible?”
“That was for Mr. Derek’s intelligence, and we can maintain to the current undefeated position. However, victory and defeat are common matters of the military. No one can always win. Under the influence of the economic crisis, many companies have gone bankrupt. If the Saint Group wants to recover, they must rope in another large group to support each other.”
“So, you chose the Webber Group?”
“Yes, Zoe is the only daughter of the chairman of the Webber Group. All the shareholders are eyeing her closely. The Webber Group also urgently needs the support of other groups. Both sides take what they need, which is the value of commercial marriage.”
“I understand, Henry. Although I know so much, I still can’t accept sharing my husband with another woman.”
Henry sighed. How come it was still useless after he said so much!
“Henry, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. Love has its exclusion. If he chose me, then there wouldn’t be anyone else, and vice versa. In addition, respect comes first in love. The legal status is fundamental to respect.”
Serina lowered her head and said, “even if I accept this kind of abnormal relationship now, it will slowly consume up my love for Derek. At that time, it will be the most terrible. Rather than this, it is better to suffer short pain than a long one.”
Henry still wanted to say something, but he found that Serina, who looked slovenly, was so assertive, which made him speechless.
“Well, Ms. Serina, I can’t persuade you. I will go back first.”
“Alright.”
After Henry left, Serina sat alone on the sofa, thinking for a long time, and her head hurt.
However, she still could not accept sharing a man with another woman. Even if Derek gave her everything she had, even if Derek did not touch that woman, she could not accept such an abnormal relationship.
After thinking about it, Serina decided to leave for a while. Anyway, the novel could be written anywhere, and it would take some time for the production team to start the second season.
In the afternoon, Serina got in the car and went back to S City.
On the way back, she bought a lot of things for Yolanda, including food and drinks.
Serina’s sudden return surprised Yolanda, and her limp was even more surprising to her.
“What happened to your foot?”
“I accidentally fell. It’s nothing to be surprised about. Mom, look at this mask. This is with good effect and suitable for your age. There is also this health product, this, this, this, mom, all bought for you.”
Yolanda looked at the things on the table and felt gratified. This was the first time in her life that she had received something Serina had bought.
“After all these years of hard work, I’ve finally seen the payback.”
“Mom…” Serina held Yolanda’s arm like a spoiled child.
“Am I wrong?” Yolanda poked Serina on the forehead.
“Yes. You can rest in the future. I will raise you. Your daughter is now very powerful! She is now a famous web novelist and a special scriptwriter.”
“Alright, I’m glad that you can work hard. You’re much better than the sloppy one you used to be. I’ll be relieved if I find a good man to marry in the future.”
When it came to “marrying,” Serina smiled awkwardly.
“I still want to stay by Mom’s side for a few more years. That’s not hurrying.”
“Why aren’t you in a hurry? If you start dating now, even if you find a suitable one immediately, you will have to love each other for two years to develop feelings, right? After two years of dating, then you get married. And after a year of marriage life, continue to work together. And then prepare to have children. When you have children, you will be at least twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. When I was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, you could already go to the grocery by yourself!”
Serina took a deep breath. No wonder there were so many people on the Internet who were urged to get married. It turned out that all parents thought so?
In the evening, Serina removed the gauze on her feet. It had been too long since she had a good bath, and now she could touch the water.
Serina was still humming a tune as she took a comfortable bath in the bathroom.
It was still good at home, and as soon as he came back, she temporarily forgot about his worries.
Yolanda pushed open the door and came in. At dinner, she heard Serina say that she wanted to take a bath. She was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her feet to take a bath. After all, she was a mother. She was so thoughtful in everything.
As soon as she came in, Serina had already begun to wash.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the phone on the table ring, and she glanced at it.
A WeChat message!
From husband!
Yolanda immediately picked up Serina’s phone!
