"You..." she bit her lower lip and blushed as a few strands of her hair fell onto her cheeks. Her pretty face had a calming influence, as if simply looking at it would make people feel calmer inside.Jackson stared at her with such fascination. She was blushing because of him – and that made him happy.He wanted her to be even more attracted to him and fall for him even harder. He wanted her to be both physically and emotionally attracted to him.Maybe that was the only way he could feel more secure and be more certain that she wouldn't leave him.Did she have any idea how much he wanted her?Did she have any idea how deeply he was in love with her?He wondered if there would ever come a day when she would truly love him again, when she would tell him without any doubt that she "loves" him, rather than that she would try her best to love him again."Serenity, I love you."He said it from the bottom of his heart. He would love her forever!When Serenity woke up the next day,
After all, as it stood, the case was very unfavorable to Clara."Is there no way to increase our chances?" Serenity asked. The thought of not being able to help Clara overturn her old case really upset Serenity.Only those who had been wrongfully imprisoned would know how it felt!"The only way is to prove that she was wrongfully imprisoned," the lawyer said.Serenity understood the crux of the problem too. After a moment of silence, she said, "Okay, I'll think of something."The only possible breakthrough that she could think of was to find the doctor who performed the abortion on Sandra Cooper after she fell down the stairs!The doctor resigned from the hospital not long after Sandra Cooper was discharged and Clara was sent to prison.Jackson came to pick Serenity up from work. Serenity said, "Jack, can you help me find someone?""Who?" he asked."The doctor who performed the abortion procedure on Sandra Cooper," she said.Jackson raised his eyebrows, "You want to prove tha
Serenity looked up and noticed Jackson staring at her."What are you... looking at?" she asked."I just think that you're beautiful," he said.Her heart started throbbing again. When did he become so good at sweet words?! Also, he's the one that's beautiful!"Oh, right – any news about Terry?" Serenity asked after calming down. In two days, Lisa would be undergoing her second surgery. The doctor said if her condition improved after the second surgery, she would likely regain consciousness.If Lisa learned after regaining consciousness that Terry had gone missing, it would surely make her really upset!"No news yet," Jackson said, "The White family currently forbids anyone from talking about Terry. They're working hard to block all news about him. The only thing they've announced publicly is that Terry has gone missing and the family business will be temporarily handled by the old Mrs. White and her sons. All of Terry's men have been stripped of their powers."Hearing that, Seren
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Jackson asked."My mother… Did you just call her 'Mom'?" Serenity asked in a murmur."We're married. I'll treat your mother as mine, naturally. Is there anything wrong with my calling her ‘mom’?" Jackson asked in an amused tone.There was nothing wrong with this, Serenity thought, eyes widening. However, Jackson had a bad memory associated with his mother, so she always assumed that the word 'Mom' was a forbidden word to him.Jackson sighed as he watched her eyes widen in shock. He leaned forward, wrapping his arms around her waist."My mother abandoned me when I was a child. I've always associated the word 'Mom' with hatred. I never thought I'd use the word again, but Serenity… You showed me what it's like to have a mother. It's really heartwarming for me."Jackson closed his eyes gently, resting his head on her shoulder. He was telling her things he had never told anyone, his warmth enveloping her. "I know you miss Mom a lot. She's a good moth
Jackson's eyes reddened in an instant. Her confession of love was almost like a wish come true for him."You love me? Really?" Jackson asked in a murmur. His voice trembled, a telltale sign he was on the verge of tears. "Yeah," Serenity answered. She could see that he was so nervous that he was shaking, his lips trembling. "Why would I lie? Jack, I love you. I once thought it might take an eternity to love you again, but… Maybe love is beyond space and time."Love was a feeling. There was nothing spectacular, no special occasion. It just happened naturally and made her realize her true feelings. Maybe it was just love.Jackson's arms tightened around her waist, sobbing. "You said you love me. You can't take back what you said!""Yeah. I won't," Serenity promised. She noticed him sobbing and asked, "Jack, are you crying?"Jackson did not answer. Instead, he buried his face in the crook of her neck, breathing in her sweet scent. He wanted this moment to last forever, imprinted on
Enjoying Serenity's comforting actions, Jackson paused to soak up the moment. "Okay, let's get in the car," he said a while later, giving Connor a sidelong glance that made him shudder.Although still stunned a moment earlier, Connor quickly snapped to his senses. Oh, God! Did he just witness something he should not have? Would he be silenced? These thoughts flitted through his mind as he lowered his head quickly. Connor started driving after everyone got into the car. Not long after, his phone rang as someone called him. He answered his phone and turned to Jackson in the back seat a few moments later. "Mr. Valor, we’ve found Terry!" He reported to Jackson."What?!" Serenity gasped in surprise, "Where is he?""He showed up with the Hart family in Jorvik City. It was a secret visit. The police don't know about this yet, not even the White family," Connor stated.Serenity was stunned. The Hart family?"The Hart family? Is Janet Hart related to them?" Serenity asked urgently. She k
"I do care about you. You're my husband. Our children's father. How could I not care about you?""And if I wasn't the children's father? You wouldn't have cared about me?" Jackson asked in reply.'Is he jealous of our children?' She thought, clearly amused at Jackson's question. "Of course not!" Serenity replied instantly, expressing her stance. Even an idiot should know what to answer at this moment. Serenity loved Jackson, and her love for him reinforced her love for their children!"Well, I care about Lisa and Clara because they really need help now. They helped me when I was going through a rough time, especially Lisa. We might not have met without her," Serenity said, gently patting his head. Serenity might not have survived tough times without Lisa's help. Instead, she would have died in the cold prison.Jackson seemed to have thought of the same, his eyes flashing as they pierced into hers. "I know. Lisa has saved you. That's why you'd always do the same for her. I wonde
Serenity had a good appetite because the food at this restaurant was really good. However, as she ate, she suddenly felt like throwing up. Serenity gestured to Jackson before she hurried out of the private room. Serenity's female bodyguard had been guarding the door to the room. Eva saw Serenity rushing to the restroom at the end of the corridor and followed Serenity, naturally.Jackson grabbed his cell phone after Serenity left. He called Connor, who was dining with the driver at the open dining area. "What didn't you say when we were in the car?"Connor felt a little surprised. He did not expect Mr. Valor to notice it. As Mrs. Valor was also in the car, Connor could not give Mr. Valor a full report earlier."Terry and the new lady from the Hart family seemed very close together. And the Hart family seemed to be planning something in secret. I think they're trying to help Terry take back the reins of power," Connor answered.Jackson pondered Terry's relationship with the new lad
