After saying this, Serina immediately covered her mouth.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild! I will only sleep with you in this life. I can’t sleep with anyone else!” Derek stretched out his hand and flicked Serina on the head.
Serina grinned and did not continue talking about the topic.
In Polaris City.
At dinner time.
Yolanda kept putting food in Marco’s bowl. She always had a satisfied smile on her face. After knowing that Marco was not dead, Yolanda was as cheerful as a patient who suddenly recovered from a terminal illness.
Blueberry ate calmly, and Cherry looked up at Marco every now and then.
“What’s wrong, Cherry?” Marco noticed that Cherry was looking at her and smiled.
“Are you really not my mommy?”
Cherry asked with her eyes full of curiosity.
“Cherry, I’ve told you several times. This is your aunt, not your mommy. Your mommy will be back in a few days.” Yolanda rushed to say.
“Alright.” Cherry still felt strange. Marco looked exactly the same as her mother.
At night in the children’s room.
Because Serina was not present, Blueberry and Cherry also seemed extra obedient.
Cherry opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Blueberry turned her face and found that Cherry was still awake.
“Cherry, what’s wrong? Why are you still awake?”
“I miss mommy.” Cherry turned her face and looked pitifully at Blueberry.
“Mommy will be back soon.”
“When mommy is back, there will be two mommies at home!”
“That is not mommy. She is mommy’s sister. I have told you many times.” Blueberry said as if she were an adult.
“But she looks exactly like mommy. Why am I the only one who is mistaken? Why are you not mistaken? If mommy comes back, how do I know which one is mommy and which one is not?”
“I’ll tell you how to tell which one is mommy. Mommy doesn’t have an ear-piercing hole. Aunt Marco has an ear-piercing hole. There is a small hole in her ear. If you see a small hole in her ear, it is not mommy. Do you understand?”
Cherry smiled in surprise, “Got it! Good night, Blueberry!”
“Good night.”
After checking that there was nothing wrong with her body, Serina was also discharged. She only needed to come back regularly to change her dressings.
Derek took Serina back to Polaris City.
The family had their first meal together. The atmosphere was very awkward. Derek kept putting food into Serina’s bowl. Yolanda kept putting food into Marco’s bowl. Serina also felt strange.
There was no one speaking.
Polaris City was too large for Serina and her daughters. Now that Yolanda and Marco were also here, it seemed less empty all of a sudden.
Derek wanted to hire a few servants. But now that there were no extra rooms left. He could only give up.
After dinner, Serina and Yolanda cleaned up the dishes.
Yolanda suddenly closed the kitchen door.
“Mom, why are you closing the door?” Serina asked while washing the dishes.
“Serina, let me remind you something. In front of your sister, don’t be too close to Derek.”
Hearing this, Serina was a little surprised. “Too close? But all Derek did was putting food into my bowl. Besides, Derek is my husband! We are married legally!”
“Can’t you be a little more careful? Marco and Derek had a relationship before. She must feel bad to see you and Derek being close.”
“Mom, how can you…”
“If you know how to be grateful, be more careful. When there is no one at home, you and Derek can do whatever you want. But when Marco is here, you must keep a distance from each other!”
Yolanda issued an order.
Yolanda was not young anymore, and Serina had also become a mother. Serina also realized that it was not easy to be a mother, so she had to follow Yolanda.
“Got it.”
“Also, you and Derek … must stay quiet tonight! Your sister lives next to you!” Yolanda continued to say.
“Mom, are you doing this on purpose? Why do you let her live next to us? First you want us to keep a distance, and now you let her live next door!” Serina threw the gloves that were used to wash the bowls into the sink.
“The room next to yours is the largest and the lighting is good. I wanted Marco to stay in a good room at that time. I only realized this when you came back. I can’t let her move now, right?”
Serina sighed in frustration.
“Alright. Don’t give me that look of being wronged. Just wait for a few days. Wait for Marco to rest for a while.”
Yolanda patted Serina on the shoulder and walked out of the kitchen.
Serina stood by the sink, looking upset.
She thought, ‘Why do I feel so inconvenient at home? It is inconvenient to do anything!’
But Serina couldn’t show her frustration!
“Serina, that’s your sister, and also your savior. Just live with it for a while!”
Serina spoke to herself back and forth.
In the living room.
Marco and Derek sat on the sofa. One of them sat on the small sofa at the side and one sat on the main seat.
Marco looked at the apple and fruit knife on the coffee table. She immediately picked up an apple, peeled it, and sat next to Derek. She handed the apple to Derek.
“Have an apple?”
“No, thank you,” Derek said as he looked at the apple.
He was indifferent when he spoke.
“What’s wrong? Why are you being so polite to me? I did this for you.”
Marco handed the apple to Derek again.
“You can eat it yourself,” Derek said.
Yolanda saw all of this.
“You don’t even dare to take an apple from me?” The smile on Marco’s face suddenly disappeared.
Derek glanced at her.
Derek was also very conflicted. He was very sure that he did not have any feelings for Marco. It was only because of him and his mother that Marco almost died and had to travel far away from home. She had been living a lonely life for so many years.
Derek was guilty, and he had thought of compensation.
However, Derek was now with Serina. He did not want Serina to be sad, nor did he want Serina to misunderstand.
Derek knew Serina. Although Serina looked careless, she was a very sensitive woman.
After some thought, Derek accepted the apple.
The moment he picked up the apple, Serina came out of the kitchen.
Derek immediately placed the apple on the coffee table and stood up.
However, Serina saw what happened.
“Serina, are you tired? Do you want to go back to our room and take a rest?” Derek asked as he walked up to Serina.
“Sure.” Serina glanced at Marco before returning to her room with Derek.
