1135words
For the past three years, she's been looking for a way to melt his icy heart. But he hurt Bertha for so many years, causing her love for him to now only become cold and revengeful.
Derek's heart ached.
Now he wants to save this love, is there still time?
After exchanging news with Liam, Derek went down to the living room on the first floor in a complicated mood.
Tommy lay on the sofa in the living room and he didn't wake up that quickly.
Derek quietly walked next to him and sat down.
He hadn't been sitting down for two minutes when Tommy woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Derek's expressionless face.
He says. 'I didn't expect you to fall asleep."
Tommy was stunned.
'How can I sleep?"
Derek's appearance is dignified. 'I finished talking and saw you sleeping here. I waited for you to wake up. If Bertha knew about this when she returned, how angry would she be? But don't worry, I definitely won't tell her about this."
Tommy slept so much that his mind was foggy, he grabbed him by the hair.
Derek didn't give him a chance to react, he stood up and walked out.
'Let's go because you slept we were five minutes late."
Tommy is still thinking.
He remembered a male maid coming to talk to him and he didn't care about the other person...
'Hurry up, if we come back late, Bertha won't be happy."
He was sorting out his memory when Derek interrupted him, so he angrily followed and got in the car.
By the time they returned to the beach villa, it was already dark.
Derek stood at the first-floor living room window, watching.
Not knowing when Venn left, only Noa and Bertha were left at the dinner table drinking wine.
In the living room.
Noa drank one glass after another, his eyes looked a little drunk, his expression unhappy, he said. 'Bertha, people say you drink to forget your sadness. But why do I drink so much? I feel even more miserable inside."
Bertha's tolerance to alcohol is excellent, she has never been drunk before.
She just laughed. 'Don't believe those words, the more you drink, the sadder you will be. Noa, you're drunk, let me tell Casey, and Emilio to take you home."
"Are not. Bertha, I'm not drunk. I have something to tell you..."
Noa shook his head, he raised his hand to touch her hand.
She calmly withdrew her hand, her expression calm.
'I'm not interested in what you want to say. It's late, you should go home quickly."
Noa's gentle eyes were filled with rejection. He staggered to his feet, walked towards her, and knelt on one knee in front of her, his expression serious.
'Bertha, I know you are angry with me because of Karlina. Wait until I return to S city, I will raise her properly. But I like you, Derek hurt you before, but I never will. I will only love and cherish you. Please give me a chance to love you?"
Bertha's expression was calm, she said nothing.
She poured a glass of red wine and drank it in one shot.
Dark red wine flowed down her red lips.
She raised her hand to wipe her lips, still looking strangely elegant.
This image was deeply engraved in Noa's heart. 'Bertha, if you still can't be completely sure about your feelings, we can also get engaged first or start dating."
As soon as he walked to the door, Derek heard it very clearly.
His face was pale, his hands clenched into fists.
Did Noa intentionally chase Venn away to have a chance to confess to her?
Seeing Bertha preparing to answer.
Derek hugged his stomach and bent over, then pinched his thighs hard. His expression immediately turned pale and he broke out in cold sweat.
He then leaned against the door with a weak expression. 'Bertha, my stomach hurts…"
Bertha was panicked, was Derek drinking too?
She didn't say anything, Noa heard Derek interrupt his confession, he was extremely angry.
With alcohol in her system, Noa stood up from the ground, and aggressively grabbed Derek's collar, preparing to hit Derek in the face.
'Two days ago, it was you who harmed her, what right do you have to appear in front of her."
Derek didn't move or explain, he looked at Noa, and his dark eyes showed no signs of weakness.
Noa was extremely angry, he clenched his fists and wanted to hit Derek.
Bertha shouted. 'Casey, Emilio."
Casey and Emilio immediately entered through the open window and separated the two men.
Noa hasn't beaten Derek yet, so he's very upset. 'Bertha, why don't you let me hit him?"
Bertha signaled to Casey and Emilio. 'Noa is drunk, please take him home."
"Yes."
'I'm not drunk, really, Bertha, I'm not drunk…"
Noa kept talking, his legs were unsteady, two bodyguards had to help him walk, and his voice grew farther and farther away.
Finally, the space was quiet, Derek no longer pretended to have a stomach ache, and he returned to his usual calm expression.
Bertha glanced at him sarcastically. 'Why don't you keep pretending?"
Derek pursed his lips, without saying a word he walked to her feet, he knelt on his knees in front of her.
This time he actively wanted to kneel.
Just now, Noa knelt on one knee to show love, while he knelt on both knees to atone for his sins.
Bertha does not understand his actions. "What are you doing?
Derek's chest ached.
He looked up at her with red eyes. 'Bertha, I…"
"Stop."
Every time he says gentle words it's like he's plotting something, can't he just talk normally?
Furthermore… he dared to call her by name.
Bertha's face was serious, she told him. 'I give you two choices, call me 'Boss' or call me Miss. Bertha."
Derek's face turned pale, and after a brief internal struggle, he spoke. 'Yes. Miss. Bertha."
After struggling, he continued to speak in a trembling voice. 'Over the past few days, I have finally understood my feelings and learned how seriously I made a mistake before. Miss. Bertha, it turns out the person I like, the person I love is you. I'm stupid, it's my fault..."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Bertha used her finger to lift his chin.
Seeing the regret on his face, his eyes filled with sorrow and regret, he pretended to be very similar.
'Let me guess, you thought about it carefully and wanted to get me pregnant, right?"
She curled her lips and smiled, her eyes did not hide the sarcasm.
