“Why are you asking?” Derek thought it didn’t matter and said, “As long as you like it.”
“Of course, I like it, but how much is this?” Serina was still very curious.
“This is a raw stone that I took a fancy to at an auction in the United States. It cost more than 30 million. Then I asked someone to design this for you.”
The pink diamond was shaped like a heart, looking quite bright.
The earrings were made of many small diamonds, looking cute. It was different from the jewels that noble ladies would wear.
It was suitable for young people, especially for young ladies like Serina.
“30 million?” Serina widened her eyes and looked at the jewelry in front of her. “You actually cut a raw stone into this? Isn’t it a waste?”
Derek smiled. “As long as you like it.”
“But it’s such a waste! After being cut, it isn’t as valuable as before! When you bid for it, it was worth 30 million, but now, it must be less than 3 million!”
Serina thought, ‘How can he be so extravagant?’
“As long as you like it,” he still said the same thing.
“You are so extravagant!” Serina poked Derek’s forehead.
Derek smiled bitterly. “I remember someone cut my custom-made suit into rags and smashed my car that is worth more than 50 million.”
Serina blinked. “Is it … me?”
“Who else could it be?”
He would never forget it!
Derek said as he hugged Serina, “You’ve changed. You’re more like a woman now.”
“I am a woman! Otherwise, how can I give birth to babies for you?” Serina rolled her eyes at Derek and stared at the jewelry in her hand.
Seeing her looking at it infatuatedly, Derek said, “Why don’t you wear it now?”
“I don’t want it!” Serina immediately hugged herself. “30 million! How many novels do I have to write to earn so much money? I don’t dare to wear it…”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“No, no. Let’s wear it at the wedding. It’s so expensive. What if it is lost or robbed?”
Serina carried the brocade box and got out of bed.
“What do you want to do?”
“I want to lock it!” Serina walked to the dressing table. There was a cabinet on the dressing table with a lock. She locked the brocade box inside and then went to bed, feeling relieved.
They hugged each other and went to sleep sweetly.
The next morning, Derek went to his company. Serina still felt that her ears hurt badly.
Looking in the mirror, she found that her ears were even more swollen than yesterday. Moreover, after one night, there was a layer of pus scab on her ears. She couldn’t touch the ear studs as it hurt so much.
After the ear piercing, the makeup woman told her to turn the ear studs every day. Otherwise, the hole would easily recover.
Serina looked at her ears and had to go to the hospital.
After Serina screamed a few times, the doctor finally removed the ear studs on Serina’s ears and applied medicine to her.
“Ms. Serina, your ears have been infected. I’ll prescribe you some medicine. Remember to apply it every day when you go home. Keep clean and don’t wet your ears when you take a shower.”
The doctor said as he gave Serina a list.
“Doctor, I’m going to get married in a few days. That’s why I got ear holes. Can I wear earrings in a few days?” Serina asked carefully.
The doctor looked up. “Ms. Serina, do you think your ears are more important or the beauty is more important?”
“Of course, my ears are important, but my wedding is also important. I only get married once in my life, and my husband gave me a set of very beautiful jewelry.”
The doctor sighed, “You should listen to my suggestion and apply the medicine to your ears. In addition, I will prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs for you. It should be able to ensure that your ears are no longer swollen on the wedding day.”
“Is it so serious? Can’t it recover in a few days?”
Serina sighed with annoyance. “Why are so many people still fine after the ear piercing? Some people have already done it three or four times. I…”
The doctor continued to smile amiably. “Not everyone is suitable for ear piercing. Especially now that ear-piercing is becoming more and more common, many people’s earrings are not quite good. Therefore, it is common to cause inflammation.”
“Then what should I do? I wanna wear my beautiful jewelry!”
“Ms. Serina, ear piercing is probably not suitable for you. Moreover, I see that your ear studs are not pure silver, so your inflammation is so serious now. To be honest, if you marry in a few days, detumescence will be good news for you.”
“Alright.”
“Have as light food as you can in the next few days,” the doctor said.
Serina nodded.
She went to get the medicine with the list.
She regretted it so much. Why did she have to go to pierce her ears?
If her ears were still swollen at the wedding, how embarrassing would it be as so many people saw it!
Six days later.
At the airport.
Marco was carrying a small suitcase. Next to her stood a tall and strong man, Brodie. He once saved her.
Brodie used to be a special troop. He was injured one day, so he retired. Then he began to work as a bodyguard. Later, he cooperated with Lauren to perform some special tasks for her.
He wasn’t quite handsome, but he got a good figure.
Hayden stood in front of them and brought a black leather box to them.
“This is a shop in the streets of Chinatown in the United States. The monthly profit is about 100, 000. And this villa, about 5381 square feet, is enough for you two to live in.”
Marco and Brodie looked at each other.
“There is still a small amount of cash and your ID cards in the United States. All done,” Hayden handed the box to Brodie.
“One hundred thousand per month? Derek spent a lot of money buying that shop, right?” Marco asked.
“Ms. Marco should be able to figure it out. That shop is based on the rental. Mr. Darion said that if you two behave, he will renew the contract after the contract expires. If you don’t cooperate, then…”
Marco laughed coldly. Derek was holding back a trick.
“Where is he? Isn’t he coming?”
“Mr. Darion is busy dealing with the wedding and has no time to come over. Besides, Mr. Darion also said there is no need for him to show up…”
Marco understood that Derek wanted to tell her that from now on, she was just a stranger in his life, and he would not even send her off.
