As soon as he entered the room, Derek locked the door. He hugged Serina from behind.
Serina struggled for a moment, but Derek did not let her go. “What’s wrong?”
“Marco especially peeled an apple for you, but you didn’t have a single bite. Is that appropriate?” Serina pursed her lips.
“I knew you would be unhappy. It’s just an apple. It’s not appropriate for me to reject it if she insists on giving it to me. Besides, she’s your sister. No matter what, I have to be nice to her for you.”
Derek gently kissed Serina on the face.
“You’d better mean it.”
Derek kissed Serina on the neck. Serina immediately pushed his head away.
“What? You don’t even allow me to kiss you? You are my wife.”
“My mom told us to be careful and not be too close in front of Marco, lest she feels uncomfortable.” Serina was not in a good mood.
“What?” Derek was also a little surprised. This was an order from Yolanda.
“Be careful next time! Don’t put food in my bowl anymore! That is also considered being too intimate!”
Serina turned around and wrapped her arms around Derek’s waist. “Don’t touch me at night! Marco sleeps next door!”
Derek looked at Serina with his mouth open. He couldn’t even touch her at night!
Not only was he not allowed to make out with her publicly, but also privately!
Serina had been in the hospital for so long, and he hadn’t made out with her for a long time!
Now that he was home, he still couldn’t make out with her! It was ridiculous! This was torture to Derek!
“Serina, I think I must talk to mom.”
“What do you want to say? That’s my mother! All she cares about now is Marco. It is understandable. She thought Marco was gone and now she is back. Just do as mom says.”
Although Serina was also unhappy, there was nothing she could do.
“But I…”
“No but! Take a shower and go to sleep!” Serina pushed Derek away and walked to the children’s room.
In the evening, Derek slept next to Serina, holding her warm body. Derek was turned on.
“Serina, I…”With Serina in his arms, Derek started to become restless.
Derek was young and had restrained himself for so long. So naturally, he wouldn’t be able to settle down while holding Serina in his arms.
“No! We can’t do this! I’ve told you before!” Serina grabbed Derek’s hand.
“Let’s be gentle and not make a sound, okay?” Derek’s voice was low and deep. He could no longer hold back.
Serina also knew Derek was trying his best.
“Alright, just for a while. Be gentle and don’t make a sound.”
“Sure!” Derek pressed Serina under him.
Just as he was about to strip Serina of her pajamas, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
“Serina, Serina! Are you asleep?” It was Yolanda.
“What? Not … not yet!” Serina immediately lifted the quilt covering her head.
“Don’t turn on the air conditioner tonight. It’s too dry. It’s not good for your health. Got it?”
“Got it, mom. Go to sleep!”
“Okay, then I’ll go to sleep.” Yolanda left.
Derek was ready to continue, and Serina immediately took his hand away.
“Don’t you understand? Mom is here to check whether we are behaving ourselves! Alright, stop messing around and sleep!”
As she spoke, Serina put her pajamas back on and lay down.
Derek gritted his teeth. He sat up and sighed in frustration. “I’ll go back to my place tomorrow.”
“What? Why?” Serina immediately sat up when she heard what Derek said.
“How can I sleep here? It’s awkward. I can’t even put food into your bowl in front of them. I can’t even make out with you in my room at night. Isn’t this torture?”
“Derek, my mom… She…” Serina held onto Derek’s arm.
“Alright, I know. After I go back, I will arrange a job for her as soon as possible and then arrange a place for her to stay. This can’t continue.”
Serina shrugged and sighed in resignation. “Well, let’s take a break for a while.”
“But I will miss you,” Serina said, leaning against Derek’s shoulder.
Derek smiled and stroked Serina’s long hair. “Don’t worry, I will solve the problem soon.”
His gaze was certain.
Serina nodded.
Early in the morning.
Cherry was woken up by the urge to pee. She ran out in her pajamas. When she entered the living room, she found someone standing in the kitchen.
“Mom…” Before Cherry could completely say the word, she immediately ran into the kitchen and tugged at the woman’s clothes.
“What’s wrong, Cherry?” Marco looked down at Cherry and smiled.
“Bend down.”
Marco bent down according to Cherry’s instructions. Cherry parted her hair and looked at her ears, which had ear holes.
“Not mommy! You’re Aunt Marco! Good morning, auntie!” Cherry smiled.
Towards Cherry’s strange actions, Marco was also startled. She squatted down and looked at Cherry, “Cherry, tell me, how do you know I am auntie and not mommy?”
Cherry pointed at Marco’s ear, “You have piercings, but mommy doesn’t! Blueberry told me this!”
Marco was stunned.
This was indeed a place that was easy to ignore. The piercing was so small, and Marco had long hair. Her hair often covered her ears. If one did not look carefully, the piercing would be difficult to detect.
“Cherry is so smart.” Marco smiled.
“In the future, I won’t be afraid of not being able to distinguish between mommy and auntie!” Cherry giggled.
“Go and play.”
Cherry laughed and ran away.
In the morning, Derek did not even have breakfast and left directly.
In the next few days, Derek did not come back. Yolanda was unsatisfied with what he did.
“Serina, what does Derek mean? Marco is here, so he won’t come back?” On the dining table, Yolanda put on a long face.
“Mom, what are you talking about? He’s just a little busy recently. His apartment is nearer to his own company and it’s also more convenient. It’s too far here.”
Serina immediately covered for Derek. They had also discussed it.
“He is clearly avoiding us!”
“That’s not true. Derek was on a business trip. After such a big thing happened, he stayed with me in the hospital. He has a lot of things to deal with. Marco, don’t mind him. Derek is just too busy.”
“Why would I mind? As a man, he should be busy. Busy men are more attractive.” Marco smiled.
Hearing this, Serina’s smile froze on her face. Why did she feel so uncomfortable listening to these words?
Although Serina also felt that Derek was very attractive, when these words came out of Marco’s mouth, it made Serina feel very uncomfortable.
