Seeing that Serina was angry, Ernest stammered.
“Ernest, Listen. Although I have two children, my face and figure are still awesome!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Ernest nodded repeatedly.
“I can’t turn you on. That only means one thing. You have problems down there!”
Serina pointed to Ernest’s nose and said.
Ernest still nodded “Yes, yes, you are right! I have problems!”
“That’s more like it!” Only then did Serina finish.
“What problem? How can I have any problem? I haven’t even used it yet!”
Serina laughed wildly. “I feel ashamed to say it out loud. You are almost thirty years old, but you have never had a girlfriend. Ernie, don’t worry, I’ll help you!”
“Promise!”
“Alright!”
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
Ernest adjusted his posture and sat down, “However, Serina, I still think that Derek is interested in you. Maybe, all the female secretaries are just a trick to make you jealous.”
Serina looked at Ernest cautiously, “You are right! Derek can do that!”
“Your brain is finally online.” Ernest nodded.
Serina clapped her hands. “The next time I meet any of his female secretaries, I will directly close the door for them with a smile. I wish them a happy life!”
Ernest slapped Serina on the head. “Are you stupid?”
“What’s wrong with that? Shouldn’t I? I can’t act like that I am jealous.”
“Why did he want to make you jealous? It’s just a test! You should do as he wished. Go to his office and show all of them that you are his wife. Ask the secretaries to fuck off.”
Serina felt that what Ernest said made sense, so she nodded.
…
It was the weekend again.
What made Serina feel strange was that Derek did not appear. There was no text message, no phone call, and no appearance.
This made Serina start to doubt whether Derek and the female secretaries were real.
If it was a trick, then they act too well. If Ernest had not told her that it might be a trick, Serina would have thought that Derek was busy hugging girls and had no time to care about her and the kid.
On Saturday morning, when Serina was still asleep, she was shaken awake by Cherry.
“Mommy, wake up! It’s time to make breakfast!” Cherry’s voice pierced through her ears and annoyed Serina.
“Don’t mess around, Cherry. Let me sleep a little longer on Saturday.” Serina turned over and continued to sleep.
“Mommy!”
“Cherry, don’t disturb me. Daddy will be here soon. We can go out for breakfast.” Blueberry reminded.
“Oh right, I forgot.” Cherry pondered.
But hearing them say daddy, Serina immediately opened her eyes and sat up.
“Blueberry, who did you just say?”
“Dad said last week that he would take us shopping this week and then go to his company. He said that he would tell me the Journey to the West. I have a lot of questions to ask.”
Cherry hurriedly raised her hand, “And me! I have a lot of toys to buy. I want to buy the little panda, the little parrot, the little turtle…”
Then, Cherry began to snap her fingers and say the toys she wanted to buy.
“Oh.”
It turned out that he had already made an appointment with the children. As the mother, she knew nothing.
“Mommy, sleep more. When Daddy comes later, we can go out with Daddy to have breakfast.” Blueberry said considerately.
“No, I am already awake. I will go and make breakfast for you.” With that, Serina lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Sure enough, when the three of them had breakfast together, the doorbell rang.
Serina immediately went to open the door. Derek was standing outside.
It was a little awkward for the two to meet.
“I made an appointment with the children last week. I’ll take them to the mall this week. Do you mind?”
Serina shook her head. “No, of course not!”
“That’s good. Where are they?”
“They’re still eating breakfast. Come in and wait for a while.”
The two of them could not be any more polite.
As soon as Derek entered, Cherry shouted happily, “Dad! I missed you so much!”
“I missed you too. Eat well and I’ll take you to the mall later.”
“Dad, have you eaten? Do you want to eat with us? The porridge that Mommy cooked is very delicious!”
“How about…” Serina was just about to invite Derek to have breakfast together.
“No, I’ve already eaten,” Derek refused.
He did not take her seriously at all!
Serina ignored him and sat back at the table.
Derek had arrived early, the two children ate very quickly, although Serina repeatedly warned them.
Serina wiped the two children’s mouths. And they went straight to Derek.
“By the way, after shopping in the mall today, I might take the children to the company. I might send them back a little later,” Derek said as he brought the two children to the door.
“It doesn’t matter. Go.” Serina smiled.
Derek nodded and left with the two children.
Serina was left alone at home.
When there were children at home, it was too noisy. When there were no children at home, it was too quiet.
Nora suddenly called.
Serina answered the phone, “Nora, I’m already thinking of a way to end it. Don’t rush me, okay? I’m trying my best. You also know that this novel can’t end randomly.”
“No, Serina! I didn’t call you to end it, but to ask you to continue writing!”
“What?” Serina immediately sat up straight. “Did you make the wrong call?”
“I didn’t! Don’t you pay attention to the news every day? Your matter has been resolved!”
“Solved? But I didn’t do anything. I have two children at home and I’m very busy. I don’t have time to browse the forums.”
“Weren’t you the one asking your readers to stalk the person? That’s strange. It is said that your readers found the person who posted the news on the forum made money by cheating other authors and forced the person to publicly apologize.”
“Publicly apologized?”
Unbelievable!
