Even now, Serina could recognize Derek’s back at a glance.
This time was much closer than the last time. She must have been right.
Zoe turned her head to talk to Derek several times. Serina could see her profile.
Zoe kept taking Derek’s arm and leaned against him from time to time. They were as close as a couple in love.
Seeing this scene, Serina was furious.
She clenched her fist and wanted to rush up.
Serina thought, ‘Derek, I went through the pain of giving birth to twin girls for you. I’m waiting for you to come back, but you fall in love with another woman!
No wonder you haven’t contacted me all these years! It turns out that you have another lover!’
Serina was about to step forward when she suddenly heard Chelsea crying in the private room.
She looked back at the private room and ran back quickly.
It was Chelsea who accidentally fell off the chair. Serina immediately rushed over and picked Chelsea up.
“Chelsea, where did you fall? Good girl. Don’t cry.”
Chelsea pointed to her head. Serina saw that there was a bruise on her forehead. It should be that Chelsea accidentally knocked on the chair when she fell.
“I’ll blow it for you. Don’t be afraid. Mommy is here.” Serina sat in the chair and held Chelsea in her arms.
It took a long time for Chelsea to stop crying.
She put Chelsea back on the chair. “Bella, taking care of Chelsea. I’ll go out and be back soon.”
“What are you going to do now?” Bella stared at Serina and said in an elder’s tone.
“I saw a handsome man. I’ll go ask him for his cell phone number!”
“You go quickly. I’ll take care of Chelsea,” Bella said calmly.
Serina’s two daughters were supportive of her falling in love. They wished she could get married earlier.
Serina ran out in a hurry. But after such a long time, Derek and Zoe were no longer outside.
She had to look for them in that direction. The private rooms had only doors without windows, and the doors were completely enclosed. It was impossible to see the inside from the outside.
Serina stood in the corridor at a loss. She didn’t know where she was going to find Derek.
At this time, a proud voice came from behind her.
“Are you looking for Derek?”
Serina quickly turned around and saw Zoe.
Zoe put on heavy makeup. She looked arrogant as if the whole world was under her feet.
Serina looked her up and down. What she asked was straightforward.
“Where is Derek?”
Zoe repeated Serina’s words in a disdainful tone, “Where is Derek? What qualifications do you have to come to him now?”
“What qualifications do I need to find Derek?” Serina asked angrily.
“You should have seen me with Derek. I have been in a relationship with him for two years. We will get married as soon as the Dark Empire is listed. Do you think you are qualified to find him?”
“Does the Dark Empire belong to him?” Serina realized that she had been cheated.
Zoe shrugged. “Who do you think it belongs to? If I were you, I would quickly find a place to hide. Lest we meet and get embarrassed.”
“I want to ask him something.”
“What do you want to ask? I’ll answer for him.”
“You? Who are you to answer for him? You don’t have the right to answer what happened between him and me!”
“Do you want to ask him why he hasn’t come to you in the past few years? Serina, are you stupid? Of course, it was because of me that he didn’t come to you.”
Zoe held her arms. The light made her look mean.
“Did he say that?”
“Could there be other reasons? Serina, you should be self-aware. If you stand with me, which man will choose you over me?”
Serina sneered. “If he wanted to choose you, he wouldn’t be with me in the first place!”
Zoe said, “That’s because he has never been in contact with me and doesn’t know me. Don’t be stubborn. You haven’t seen how Derek begged my family to help him make a comeback.”
Zoe looked down at her slender hand. “He is used to standing high, and he can’t accept the pain of falling. My family is his great benefactor. Otherwise, how do you think he can get over?”
Serina looked at Zoe. Although she repeatedly told herself that Zoe was untrustworthy, she couldn’t help believing Zoe.
Serina thought, ‘The building of the Dark Empire was built within half a year. No matter how great Derek was, he couldn’t have built the Dark Empire from scratch in just four years!
It seems that Zoe’s words are reasonable.’
Serina said, “Tell him that he will regret it.”
“OK, I’ll tell Derek for you. Let’s see if he will regret it.”
Serina turned and left.
Zoe was relieved to see Serina leave. Although Derek had told her that he and Serina had divorced, she didn’t believe him.
So she couldn’t allow them to meet yet.
Zoe went around several times and finally returned to her and Derek’s private room.
“Why did you go so long?” Derek had finished eating and had put down his chopsticks. He was playing with his phone.
“I met an acquaintance and chatted with her for a while.”
Zoe sat next to Derek. “Derek, I just saw a woman who looks like Serina.”
Derek stiffened when Zoe mentioned Serina. Then he nodded without other reactions.
He only nodded.
Zoe leaned against Derek’s chest. “After so many years, you still seem to have feelings for Serina.”
Derek was about to speak, but Zoe said first, “You have to answer well. I’m listening to your heartbeat. I can tell if you are lying.”
Derek smiled. “Isn’t it boring to play this kind of game?”
“I’m bored. Would you like to play with me?”
“Sure. If you want to play, I will accompany you.”
Zoe was delighted. “Then answer my question.”
“If you didn’t mention Serina, I would have forgotten her. At first, I thought she was special. Later, I found that she was no different from other women. They just like my money.”
Derek pinched Zoe’s face and said, “But you are different.”
Zoe left Derek’s chest. “That’s more like it.”
“Are you satisfied?”
“I’m not satisfied. We agreed that I would arrange everything for tonight.”
“Okay. Do you want to go to a movie or a video game city or go shopping?”
Zoe smiled charmingly. “How about going to the hotel next to Rainbow Mall?”
