Serina grabbed her ears. “I am afraid of pain. I don’t want to prick my ears at all. I would have done it if I wanted to.”
The makeup woman smiled. “Ms. Serina, nearly all the girls will pierce their ears. Look at me.”
She turned her head and showed her ears to Serina. “I’ve done it three times.”
“Really? Didn’t it hurt?”
“Now the technology of the ear piercing is very mature. Unlike before, they use laser shots now. It will be done within a second and you can wear earrings directly. You’ll feel nothing at all.”
The woman strongly recommended it.
Serina looked at Ernest for help.
“Why are you looking at me? I’m not doing it anyway!”
“Then should I do it?” Serina hesitated.
The makeup woman immediately said, “It depends on you. After all, marriage only happens once in a lifetime. Of course, you want to be beautiful. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do it. However, this hairstyle is indeed not suitable for ear clips. Therefore, Ms. Serina, you won’t wear anything that day, okay?”
“No way! It is so ugly!”
Serina pursed her lips. “Alright then, I’ll do it. It won’t hurt, right?”
“Don’t worry. It won’t hurt.”
Ear piercing was now very common. The woman quickly took out a laser gun and pierced Serina’s left and right ear in a minute.
Serina did not feel anything.
After that, Ernest sent Serina home.
However, when she returned home in the evening, Serina began to feel her ears swell. When she turned over her ears, she found that her ears were swollen and festered.
Cherry and Blueberry saw Serina’s ears.
Cherry was overjoyed. “Mommy, you pierced your ears! It’s so beautiful. I also wanna do it!”
Serina gasped. “You’re just a kid. Look at Mommy’s ears. They’re all swollen. It hurts so much.”
Cherry pursed her lips. “Then I don’t want to do it. But, Mommy, you also have ear holes. How can I tell if you are my mommy or auntie in the future?”
“What are you saying?” Serina only cared about her ears and did not notice what Cherry said.
Blueberry patted Cherry on the shoulder. “As time goes by, you’ll know the difference.”
“Alright then.”
“Okay, you two go to sleep. I wanna put medicine on the ears, so I’ll leave you. Go to sleep.”
“Good night, Mommy!” They gave Serina kisses and bounced back to their room.
Derek came back a little late as he had a lot of work to do at night.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw Serina sitting in front of the dressing table, looking in the mirror.
“What’s the matter?” Derek walked over to the dressing table. When he saw Serina’s swollen ears, he immediately frowned and asked, “Did you pierce your ears?”
“Don’t mention it. I’m so regretful. They all told me that it doesn’t hurt, but now my ears are swollen and festered. It hurts.”
“You’re a little allergic and infected,” Derek said as he took the cotton swab from Serina.
He gently applied medicine to Serina’s ears. “Why did you do it all of a sudden?”
“I was out of my mind as I was angry with my mom. That’s why I went to do it!” Serina endured the pain and kept complaining.
“Your mother?”
“Yes, do you know what my mother said? My mother wants me to divorce you! She wants you to be with my sister. She also said that I should be with Ernest!”
Thinking about what happened during the day, Serina was full of anger.
After applying medicine to her ears, Derek helped Serina up. He sat on the chair with Serina on his lap.
“Did your mother really say that?”
Serina nodded and said firmly, “She was firm. She said my sister has been thinking about you. She mentioned something about my lifesaver and I need to give something in return.”
“Then what did you say?” Derek frowned even deeper.
“Of course, I didn’t agree. I said that she was biased. She said she would not bless us and would not attend the wedding. It made me feel quite depressed.”
“Derek, what do you think I should do?” Serina pouted and leaned on Derek’s shoulder.
“What should you do? We are going to get married soon. Don’t think about giving up your husband as I won’t marry anyone else!”
Derek pinched Serina’s nose and said, “Don’t think too much. Your mother will understand. The wedding will continue as usual.”
“But that is my mom! And my sister. In fact, I think she is pitiful. Why don’t you give her the company and introduce her to a rich and handsome man?”
“I will deal with it. Don’t think too much about it.”
Serina nodded.
In Kinsley Apartment.
Marco came back from work and smelled delicious food the moment he came in.
“Mom, I’ve already told you that I have to work overtime today. You don’t have to wait for me to eat,” Marco said as he changed into his slippers, “It smells so good!”
Yolanda sat at the dining table and smiled at her. “Hurry, wash your hands, and eat.”
Marco immediately went to the bathroom to wash her hands and sat at the dining table. “Mom, what day is it today? Why did you cook so many dishes? Let me taste it!”
She picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth. “Well, it’s delicious! Mom, your cooking is really good!”
“Eat more if it’s delicious.”
Yolanda’s eyes were filled with love.
These homemade dishes were more than delicious to her. How hard had she been abroad?
“Mar, I’m sorry.”
“What? Why are you apologizing for nothing?” Marco said as she ate.
“Mom wanted to persuade Serina to give up Derek, but Serina…”
Yolanda let out a long sigh.
“Mom, didn’t I tell you? Don’t tell Serina about this.”
“But I really don’t want you to be like this. Mar, Serina has been very selfish since she was a child. She is used to enjoying everything alone. I also lost my temper with her today, but Serina still rejected it…”
Yolanda sighed, “Mar, if there is something between Serina and Ernest, Derek will definitely find out as he is so smart. I told her that if she doesn’t listen, then she will suffer one day.”
“Mom, listen to your words. Serina is my sister!”
“Mar, go back to S City with Mom. I will take good care of you. I won’t attend Serina’s wedding. I want to see if she will feel guilty!”
“Mom, you can’t do that.”
