Serenity opened her eyes the next day to see Jackson by her side, amazed every time she saw his face. She never seemed to get tired of Jack. Serenity could see his handsome face every day, but she still had a moment of 'Wow' when she saw his beautiful face. Strangely enough, she had never felt the same when looking at other men or handsome celebs. Serenity would admire some celebrities for their peerless beauty, but only for a moment. She felt nothing after staring at their photos for a long time."Morning! Happy birthday!" Serenity chirped."Morning," Jackson replied, his lips curled into a smile. "You don't have to go to the office today, do you?" Serenity said, watching Jackson pick his clothes from the closet and put them on. Watching him changing into his clothes had always been real visual eye candy for her.Serenity and Jackson were already married. Still, she could not resist blushing even though she had already seen everything about him. Blessed by this beautiful eye ca
Jackson was spending his birthday with Serenity. Although it was just the two of them, Serenity decided to coordinate her dress in the same color as his. After getting ready, they went downstairs and had breakfast together.Serenity wanted to make lunch for his birthday, but Jackson had simply rejected the idea and reminded her to take care of herself for the triplets' sake. Jackson did not want his pregnant wife to tire herself and go through all the hassle of making lunch for him. Although Serenity did not cook, she curated a special lunch menu for Jackson's birthday. It was all his favorite dishes, and she selected a birthday cake for him. She spent time communicating with the cake maker before finalizing the design.When Serenity presented the cake to Jackson, she was glad to see the emotional surprise on his face. It was the greatest compliment she could have ever received."How did you..." Jackson looked at her in surprise."Do you like it?" Serenity asked.Jackson smiled,
After blowing out the candles, Jackson began to speak. "My wish is—""Don't say it out loud. If you tell a wish, it won't come true," Serenity interrupted, putting her hand against his lips.Jackson gently pulled her hand down. "But didn't you promise to fulfill my wishes? If I don't say it, how can you help me realize them?""That's different. I can grant you three wishes, but as for your birthday wish…. It's probably something like wishing for God to grant you better business or a long life. You just can't say it out loud," Serenity said."But my wishes, they’re all about you," Jackson said, eyes hooded. He gently held her index finger in his hand, spreading it and gesturing the number '1'. "First, I wish you'll celebrate my birthday every year until I die."Serenity was stunned. Next, he spread her middle finger, making a '2' sign. "Secondly, I wish you'll never leave me."Jackson fell silent after telling his second wish. He kept staring at her hand but hesitated to say his
Serenity must have practiced a lot for these drawings. Her hands were permanently hurt, so she must have struggled a lot during the practice. "This gift isn't worth much, but I hope it's a good memory. Let's wear them again when we grow old.""It's indeed a very beautiful memory," Jackson murmured. Serenity was his happiness. He had so many beautiful memories all because of her. She was the only one who could give him all of this! He leaned forward, kissing her gently. "Serenity, thank you!"***Sandra was in a small hotel room, looking at her ex-boyfriend with some disgust. Sandra loathed the man with a playful smile on sight, wondering how she could have chosen Yardley as her boyfriend back then. Yardley was so much worse than Wilson. Fortunately, she had come to her senses in time and quickly dumped Yardley.Noticing the look of disgust in her eyes, Yardley reminded, "Hey, Sandra. You must be thinking about how you were so unlucky to be with me back then. To be honest, we're t
Clara and Yanny made their way down. Wilson's car was already waiting downstairs. Wilson was leaning against the car, seemingly lost in thought."Dad!" Yanny saw Wilson from afar and called out to him.Wilson looked up and saw Clara and Yanny walking toward him. Clara wore a light blue woolen dress with a navy canvas bag and a pair of white sneakers. She wore light makeup, looking very different from how she looked while running the food stall. Clara was pretty and lively. The way she looked reminded him of the time before she had been sentenced to prison. While Wilson was in some weird trance, the young boy and his mother were already approaching."Morning, Dad," Yanny greeted politely."Morning," Wilson replied and then urged, "Get in the car. We don't want to be late for the amusement park."Wilson opened the car door quickly, almost as though he was trying to cover up how he felt when he saw Clara.Yanny quickly got into the backseat. Just as Clara was about to get in, Wi
When picking up the tickets, Yanny said, "Mom, can we take more photos with Dad today?"Startled, Clara turned to look at Yanny. "I'll take more photos of you and Dad.""I want to take photos with you and Dad," Yanny said.Take photos with them? Together? Clara fell silent. She could say yes, but Wilson might refuse."We can't take a photo together? Because Dad and Mom are divorced?" Yanny asked sullenly. "But someone in my class… His parents are divorced too, but… He has a lot of photos with them," the little one said with a hint of quiet sadness on his face.Clara patted her son's head in silence. After pondering for a moment, she suggested, "I'll take more photos of you and Dad first, and then we can take some photos together, okay?""Yeah," Yanny nodded, smiling again.Clara sighed softly and was silent for a moment. Looking at her son's face, she knew she would do anything for Yanny's happiness, fulfilling his wish. Yanny wanted photos with his parents, so she would try h
It was only when it was their turn to ride the merry-go-round that Clara realized it was spinning faster than she thought when she was just standing nearby and watching it. Due to her illness and because she had been eating very little lately, she suddenly felt overcome by nausea, and the area around her liver started to hurt again.Yanny's childlike screams were obviously filled with joy and excitement. Clara knew how happy her son was. Clutching tightly at the armrest beside her, she stiffened her body up and tried her very best to suppress the discomfort she was feeling, and because she was so preoccupied with this, she was completely oblivious to Wilson's gaze which was, at the moment, fixed on her.The spinning speed was nothing at all to him, of course. Still, taking such a childish ride with a little boy was indeed something he had never experienced before. Hearing his son's cries of joy had unexpectedly filled him with a kind of pride and joy that was totally foreign to him.
She could only hope that he would treat Yanny kindly in the future!After taking a few pictures, Yanny suddenly said, "Mommy! Come and take pictures with me and Daddy too! Can she join us, Daddy?"The boy looked up with anticipation at Wilson.Wilson was just about to give him a reply when Clara cut him off by saying, "It's fine, Yanny. While we were all having fun, Mommy noticed that the amusement park would take pictures of us all together. I'll show you all those pictures they took when we go home, okay?"The boy nodded eagerly, and he did not bring up the subject of taking pictures together again after that.Clara sighed in relief. In fact, she had just noticed that the amusement did such a thing herself. This saved her from forcing herself to take pictures with Wilson. Although she understood that it was her son's wish, doing so would still be torture to her.Wilson's countenance darkened. Was this woman so unwilling to take pictures with him? He should be the reluctant one,
