Brodie acted as his secret had been discovered and gulped down a mouthful of water.
“Serina! It’s not a time for your writer’s brain!”
“What? I got it right?” Serina said with a smile.
“Well! Yes, I like Mar. I fell in love with her when she was seventeen. What’s wrong? I’m also a man who has desires. Isn’t it normal to fall in love with a little girl?”
Brodie said in a relaxed and carefree manner.
“Then why are you willing to give her to Derek? If she wants to pretend to be me and live with Derek, you won’t have a chance.”
“Didn’t you just say it? There is a kind of person in this world who loves someone and wishes his beloved one to be happy. I’m such a great person.”
Brodie said rather proudly.
“But, do you think Marco and Derek can be happy together?”
“At the very least, it’s much better than being with me. Derek is so rich. He will definitely make Mar live a happy life. He can have whatever he wants. Moreover, Derek is so romantic. He will definitely make Mar happy.”
When he said these words, Brodie’s eyes carried a sense of upset.
It was because Brodie could not give happiness to the one he loved.
“You never thought that Derek was so smart that he might not have discovered it at first, but what if he discovered it after a long time?”
Brodie looked at Serina.
“You only know that my husband is rich and romantic. You may not know that he has another characteristic, and that is ruthless!”
Serina’s lips curled up slightly. “You have interacted with Lauren before, so you should know what kind of person Lauren is. Derek is her son, so he will naturally inherit this aspect. If Derek knows that Marco pretended to be me, I think you should guess the consequences…”
A trace of doubt flashed through Brodie’s eyes.
Brodie indeed had not thought about this problem. After all, Marco and Serina looked so similar, and Marco had observed Serina carefully for so long, so Derek should not be able to see any flaws.
Seeing Brodie in a trance, Serina continued, “To be honest, from the moment Marco appeared, I had already sensed it. She was too similar to me. I told my husband in a fit of pique that he’d better know who he slept with in the future.”
Brodie listened quietly.
“In the end, my husband said, ‘don’t worry, I can tell.’ I asked him how he could tell, but he didn’t tell me. He only said one word. Guess what? ”
“What?”
“Feeling,” Serina smiled, “Marco looks exactly the same as me. She can also imitate my demeanor, character, and even some pet phrases. However, two people are two people. It is impossible to be exactly the same! No matter how similar she is, the feeling she gives people will not be different!”
Brodie hesitated for a moment and suddenly smiled.
“Serina, you don’t have to scare me!”
“I didn’t scare you. You’ve been together with Marco for a long time. Don’t you think I look different from her?”
Brodie closed his mouth and carefully pondered. Brodie suddenly found out that he could easily tell which one is Serina and which one is Marco.
Brodie thought, ‘Since I can, then Derek should also be able to discover.’
“So, if I were you, hurry up and save her. Otherwise, if my husband finds out, he will definitely not let her go, let alone you!”
Brodie fell to the ground.
“Go tell Marco that you love her very much. You have thought it through and can take her far away. Everything my husband bought for you in the United States is yours! It is enough for you to live happily for a lifetime!”
Brodie’s eyes were a little dazed.
Seeing him like this, Serina knew Brodie started to believe the words.
“Brodie, in fact, I think you are quite pitiful.”
“Pitiful?” Brodie didn’t quite understand.
“Marco has always been using you. Don’t you know? If it wasn’t for you, would she have succeeded in disguising herself as me? She might even have a problem surviving! To her, you are nothing but a dispensable chess piece!”
“…”
“If you are a man, you should conquer her bravely and not be used by her!”
“Shut up!” Brodie suddenly slapped Serina on the face.
Serina turned her head to the side.
“I know you are trying to drive a wedge between us! Let me tell you, Serina! I will not be swayed by what you’ve said! You should give up on this idea!”
Brodie turned and walked toward the small room.
Serina closed her eyes in pain. She realized that she should not say so much, and should only point out a little bit, and then let Brodie understand it himself!
Serina acted too anxiously!
Serina thought, ‘The harder it is, the calmer you have to be!’
Brodie lay on the bed and picked up her phone. “Mar, you … have you been seen through?”
“No! Everything is fine. Why did you suddenly call me? Didn’t I tell you don’t call me casually!”
Marco sounded a little anxious on the other side of the line.
“Oh, okay, I got it. Bye.”
Before Brodie could finish, Marco hung up the phone.
At the kindergarten.
Marco was already driving Serina’s car to stand at the door. These days, it was usually the driver and nanny who came to pick up the children, and Serina rarely came over.
After hanging up, Marco frowned. She thought, ‘Why is Brodie so difficult to deal with?
I already told him not to call, but he actually called!’
“Mommy!” Two sweet voices came from the distance.
Marco immediately stabilized her emotions and revealed a bright smile. She squatted down and welcomed the two children.
Cherry and Blueberry threw themselves into Marco’s arms.
“Mommy, are your ears better?” As soon as Cherry came over, she looked at Marco’s ears.
Marco was stunned for a moment before smiling. “I feel much better now. So considerate of you?”
Seeing Cherry flip through Marco’s ears, Blueberry also glanced at Marco’s ears.
“I’ve always been your caring baby girl!” Cherry kissed Marco on the cheek. “Mommy, your ears are fine. Can you wear beautiful earrings at the wedding?”
“Yes, your father gave Mommy a set of especially beautiful headdresses! Well, let’s not talk about it anymore. We’ll go home quickly!”
The two children sat in the safety seat. Marco sat in the driver’s seat. “Mommy is driving. You two sit tight.”
Marco skillfully started the engine and drove the car toward their home.
“Mommy, will you get lost this time?”
“Why will Mommy get lost?” Marco replied.
“Mommy used to get lost too often!”
