Wasn't the man Serenity cared about Peter Wall? Why would she marry Jackson? Because of her babies?He must ask her to confirm it!After the call ended, Lucas violently stood up, grabbed his car keys and headed out!"Hey, wait, where are you going?" Caleb quickly stopped him."I'm going to see Serenity. I want to find out what exactly is going on. Did she do it for a reason?!" Lucas said anxiously.He couldn't help recalling the scene of that morning when she tried to stop his car but he chose to turn a blind eye to her out of jealousy. In the end, her eyes were filled with despair.Did he miss out on something important at that moment? His heart twisted violently at the thought."But you're still injured! How about... I drive you there?" Caleb asked. After all, he was the one who showed Lucas the picture, so he felt partly responsible.Moreover, he had known Lucas and Jackson for many years. He was afraid that a fight might break out between the two because of Serenity.Caleb
She's… finally his! She's officially his wife!He did not care about the marriage certificate, but that piece of paper could bind her to his side.He didn't care if she came back to him because of the babies or because of Lisa. He only wanted her by his side and made sure she could go nowhere!"Serenity, if you ever leave me again, I definitely won't be as 'gentle' as last time. I won't hesitate to break your wings. Even if you hate me, even if you get on your knees and beg me again, I won't let you go," he whispered, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.He kept staring at her with eyes full of love.He could never have imagined that he would one day be so obsessed with a woman.Although the woman had hurt him deeply, he couldn't bear to hurt her and still wanted her at his side.How deep was his love for her? Was it as deep as his father's love for his mother?But he's not his father, and he would not end up like his father...Suddenly, the car swerved to the side, a
She was wearing the same clothes that he saw in the photo, and Jackson... Lucas' eyes swept past Serenity and landed on Jackson, who was sitting in the car.Currently, the door to the backseat was open, so he could see that Jackson was also wearing the same white suit as in the photo.Serenity walked up to Lucas and stopped a couple of steps before him."You forced the car to stop so that you can talk to me, right?" She initiated the conversation."You and Jackson... really got married?" Lucas asked in a hoarse voice."Uh-huh," Serenity answered."Why?" He almost squeezed that word out from between his teeth."I'm pregnant with Jackson's children." Contrary to Lucas' emotional state, Serenity was calm.Lucas' face immediately paled. His eyes drifted to her belly in disbelief. She's pregnant? He thought Jackson was just saying that to piss him off, but the reality was cruel.The woman he loved married another man, and she's even pregnant with the other man's children."If he's
Therefore, he forbade Lynette from calling him Luke. He sealed the nickname in his memory like it's taboo.But now, Serenity called him Luke. What was she...He abruptly recalled that she had called him Luke too that time in the hospital. She then told him that she's the little girl he met as a boy!But back then, he thought that she was only saying that in order to save Peter Wall! Could it be... Could it be...He almost didn't dare to think about the possibility.Serenity continued, "You saved my life more than once, and I'm really grateful. I understand how you feel about me, but unfortunately, I can't reciprocate it. My feelings for you have never been love. Please stop loving me from now on. Please stop wasting your love on me. If I ever get the chance to repay you for saving my life, I will.""I don't need you to repay me!" Lucas said with his eyes fixed on her. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Tell me honestly, are you or are you not... the little girl I've been searchin
Jackson snorted. He pulled his arm back to punch Lucas, but Serenity grabbed his arm to stop him."What? You can't bear to see him get hit?" Jackson asked with raised eyebrows, his eyes cold."He saved me and our children!" Serenity said.The light in Jackson's eyes flickered, and he lowered his hand. Serenity asked Lucas seriously, "If I say I am, would you believe me, or would you still think that I'm lying like you did last time?"Lucas trembled violently. "So you really are her, aren't you?!""Once upon a time, a little girl ran into a little boy who was kidnapped but managed to escape. The little girl tried to take the little boy to a safe place. They spent a day and a night together in a dense forest and encountered a lot of dangers, but in the end, neither of them left the other behind and they managed to find their way out of the dense forest safely."Serenity didn't admit it directly. She told the story from a third-person perspective.Lucas listened with a pale face.
Even though her original intention was to avoid hurting him, she still ended up hurting him!"You're sorry..." Lucas snorted, "So that's all I get for my perseverance over the years. An apology. Haha... Haha..."He laughed as tears slid down his cheeks.Serenity looked at him until a pair of hands covered her eyes. "Stop looking at him. You've already said everything that needed to be said. Let's go back to the car."That's... Jackson's voice!Jackson's hands covered her eyes until she got back into the car.The black car slowly drove away.Caleb finally came back to his senses.What happened today was simply too shocking. Not only did Jackson and Serenity get married, he found out that Serenity was actually the little girl that Lucas had been searching for.It sounded ridiculous, but it's the truth.Caleb sighed seeing Lucas in that state. He had known Lucas since he was a boy and had never seen him cry before. But now, he was crying for Serenity Lewis.Women really were tr
Serenity thought her father-in-law shouldn't have chosen death just because he lost the love of his life because he would be abandoning his young son to his own devices.But... he must have loved his son dearly when he was alive, or Jack wouldn't still miss him terribly after all these years."I'll do my best to be a good wife and a good mother. I'll maintain this marriage well," she said seriously and sincerely.Since she had chosen to go down this path, she would walk down it properly. Even though what bound her and Jackson to this marriage were only the children, she hoped to at least give the children a harmonious family, not a family filled with strife and resentment.She turned around and found Jackson looking at her. Those dark eyes of his looked as if they were covered in a layer of glaze under the light."I... was telling the truth," she said somewhat awkwardly under his intense stare."Would you swear it?" he slowly said, his clear, cold voice that echoed in the silent
With tightened lips, Jackson approached Serenity step by step, his dark eyes fixed on her.She didn't look away. She faced him straight on.After a while, he raised his hands and embraced her. "Serenity, I'll believe you one more time. Just this once."He chose to believe that she would keep her vow.Or maybe... rather than saying that he believed her, it's more precise to say that he wanted to believe her; he wanted it to be true!Serenity leaned into Jackson's arms, taking in his familiar scent. So, he's willing to believe her. Did that mean their marriage would go smoothly?She didn't know how much trust he had in her now, but at least he's willing to believe her, and that's good!Caleb sent Lucas back to his mansion, but Lucas didn't want to go in. Instead, he stood outside the gate, lost in thought.Caleb had no choice but to stand there with him.Lucas stared at the spot underneath his feet. Serenity stood here that day.At the moment, Lucas' heart was filled with unsp
