“Mar, you have only been back for a few days. Mom still wants to stay with you for a few more days. Now, you are leaving me again.”
“Mom, the apartment that Derek applied for me is pretty good. It’s the best apartment among others, and the place is quite big. How about you go with me? We can be together again.”
Yolanda sighed and shook her head. “How can you be satisfied so easily? Think about it. Derek has such a big company. He just applied for an apartment for you and you are so happy. He should just give you a branch company!”
Marco pursed her lips and smiled. “I don’t have much education, so I don’t have the qualifications to keep a company. Alright, Mom, Derek and Serina are newlyweds. I think you should move over and live with me. You can go back to S City after a while. What do you think?”
“That’s fine. Mom will go over and cook for you. Anyway, there is nothing for me to do now.”
Yolanda and Marco both packed their things.
When Serina came over, they had already moved their suitcases out.
“Mom, sister, are you both going to leave?”
Serina did not know that Marco was going to move away. She knew that Derek tried to find a solution but she did not expect it to be so fast.
“Yes, if we don’t move out, some people will start to dislike us.” Yolanda glanced at Serina.
“Mom, what are you saying? Why would I dislike you?”
“Alright, Serina, Mom doesn’t have any other intentions. Didn’t Derek apply for an apartment for me? I will start working tomorrow and move over today. Mom said she couldn’t bear to part with me, so I asked Mom to stay with me for a while,” Marco quickly said.
“I see.”
Derek had not told her anything!
“I know that you and Derek didn’t have much time together, so I won’t disturb you two. Mom and I will leave first. Let’s eat together another day.”
Marco revealed a pure and harmless smile.
“I’ll help you get the car.”
“No need. The taxi is waiting for us downstairs. Take care of yourself.”
Yolanda looked at Serina and said, “See? Your sister is too good! You should learn more. Don’t be like Derek.”
Serina stuck out her tongue.
After sending off Yolanda and Marco, Serina sat on the sofa and felt as if she had a dream.
Why did it feel so unreal?
Marco just left without hesitation.
As soon as they left, Derek came back and shouted, “Honey, I’m so hungry. Do we have anything to eat?”
Serina stood up immediately and rushed to Derek. “Why are you so early today?”
“The meeting is over. There was nothing else, so I came back early. Why? You don’t want me to come back early?”
“Did you know that they left?”
“I know.” Derek took off his coat and changed his shoes.
“What did you do?”
“What? I arranged a job for Marco and applied for an apartment for her. What reason does she have to stay here?” Derek walked to the sofa and sat down.
“Is it that simple?” Serina poured him a glass of water.
“Yeah, it’s that simple.”
Serina sat beside Derek and frowned.
It should not be so easy…
“What kind of work are you going to arrange for her?” Serina suddenly came back to her senses.
“Nothing serious. She can’t do anything hard.” Derek looked away.
Serina nodded. “OK. It’s fine as long as she agrees.”
She suddenly curled her lips. “Why do I feel like I’m so vicious? Maybe she doesn’t have any evil intentions, but I treat her like a bad person. Derek, am I bad?”
Derek closed his eyes in pain. “When she didn’t leave, you felt annoyed. Now that she has left, you feel guilty. Serina, don’t think too much, okay?”
“Maybe I do think too much. I always think of her as an imaginary enemy. I am too bad. No, I have to change! Treat her better. She is my biological sister and my savior.”
“You are not bad. I thought she had interfered with our lives, so I thought of a way to drive her away. I am a bad person, not you!” Derek hugged Serina.
Serina gave a sweet smile.
“Alright, you go pick up the kids. I will cook. We will have a big meal tonight to celebrate our family reunion.”
“Alright.”
Serina received a call from Nora while cooking.
“Your majesty! Have you been writing a manuscript recently?”
“Yes,” Serina said with a cute smile.
“Alright, I know you. I know you definitely didn’t write it!”
“I do. I really do. It’s just that I didn’t write much. You know that a lot of things have happened in our family recently. Please forgive me.”
“Although I know that you have Derek to support you and you don’t lack money, let me remind you, you are an independent woman. You must work. You still have to write the manuscript!”
“I know. I won’t abandon you. Tell me, what kind of recommendation did you arrange for me? How many drafts do you need?”
“That book of yours. You’ve stopped writing it recently, and the readers are about to be angry. I’m going to give you an intensive recommendation next week, and you have to write ten thousand words every day. Save the manuscript as much as possible these few days. Think about it. There will be tons of money flowing into your pocket. Do you have any motivation?”
“Alright, alright. I will immediately do it.”
In fact, even if Nora didn’t urge her, Serina was prepared to focus on writing novels during this period.
She had never intended to be a full-time wife. After all, she knew what it would be like as she experienced it.
In the evening, after coaxing Cherry and Blueberry to sleep, Derek kissed Serina and had sex with her.
With Serina in his arms, neither of them was sleepy.
“Derek, I have something to discuss with you.”
“Well, I have something to discuss with you too.”
“Tell me.”
“Tell me.”
“Then I’ll say it first. My novel has been stopped for several days. The editor is going to give me a recommendation. I will be very busy these days. Our wedding and honeymoon…”
“The honeymoon can be postponed, but the wedding can not. I really want to get married immediately. Once we get married, everything will be settled.”
Derek hugged Serina and said.
“My dear wife, I would have to ask you to prepare for the wedding and your novel at the same time.”
