"No, there must be a reason why your Dad didn't come to us," Serenity said. "When he sees you, he'll love you," Serenity reassured, but she wondered why Jack had not come to her. Maybe he thought she was dead. She had searched the internet for more information, where she was identified as Jackson's late wife.When the high-speed train arrived in Solaria, Serenity got off the train with her daughter. As she walked to the exit, she recognized a familiar person standing there with an anxious look.That person was her best friend, Lisa Quest!Tears welled in her eyes. Serenity had forgotten about Lisa in the past few days. Only recently, when her memory returned, she had finally reconnected with Lisa.Serenity still remembered when she had called Lisa to get in touch with her. Lisa was in complete disbelief, unable to believe she was really alive until they had a video call together."Lisa!" Serenity shouted from afar. Lisa heard her and immediately turned her head, her eyes welling
"But I like the name Jackie better. Mom, can I stick with Jackie, please?" As the little girl begged, her smiling face wrinkled with plea."Your brother's name is Micah, and your name is Jacqueline. Wouldn't that be great? You've always wanted a brother, right?" Serenity said."Can we change brother's name to Mikey Lewis instead?" The little girl cocked her head."Why don't you talk to your brother when you meet him later?" Serenity suggested."Fine!" Jacqueline said, raising her chin with a determined look.Amused by her goddaughter's reaction, Lisa asked, "Do you like the name Jackie that much?""Yeah! I like it!" The little girl nodded."Why? Because you're used to it? Is that why you don't want to change your name?" Lisa guessed.Serenity spoke before the little girl could answer. "She just thinks Jacqueline has more alphabets than Jackie. If she could change her name to just Jac, she'd do it in a heartbeat!"Lisa was at a loss for words. She thought it was kind of funny t
"I know," said Serenity, gently biting her lip. "I've read about it online. If Jack really does have feelings for that person and doesn't love me anymore, I won't get in his way or bother him, but… if his heart still belongs to me, I'll definitely never leave him!"After all, everyone thought that she was dead, so Jack would not be at fault if he really did fall in love with someone else. In fact, it should not come as a surprise to her at all if it turned out that he had already remarried. Yet, for some unknown reason, Serenity had a hunch that, just like her, the Jack that she knew must be unable to fall in love with anyone else.Over the past few years when she had lost her memories, she had met quite a few impressive men, and some of them were indeed interested in her as well, but her heart had never been moved by any of them. It was only after she had slowly regained her memories that she realized it was because her heart had long been conquered by a man named Jackson Valor, a
The woman who had violently shoved her daughter was indeed Gwen Scott, and the girl who was holding the other half of the torn photo of Jackson was Anna Scott, the girl who had been adopted by the Valor family. Serenity recognized them instantly because she had seen pictures of them online.But before Serenity even had a chance to say anything, Gwen snorted haughtily and berated, "Daddy? What kind of a lousy mother are you? Have you ever educated your daughter? How could you let her call anyone she liked her daddy?! She doesn't even have the right to think about it! Hurry up and tell her to apologize to my daughter. She had the gall to hurt my little girl! Do you have any idea who my daughter is?!"Gwen spoke in a very arrogant tone. If her daughter had not seen this restaurant on television and begged her to take her here, she would never have taken a step inside such a place. Based on their current status, a humdrum eatery like this was simply beneath her and her daughter. To her
This woman… She was closely connected to Jackson Valor! She was all over the gossip sites online, and they reported that she had just recently launched a chain of beauty salons and as a result, was on good terms with the rich ladies of Solaria. Such a woman must not get into trouble in their restaurant! Otherwise, they might have to close up shop in a matter of days!"Ms. Scott," said the manager, rushing up to Gwen's side, "are you alright?""Why did you even let people like them into this restaurant?!" she erupted. "If anything happens to my daughter here, you can just wait and see how Mr. Valor is going to make you pay for it!"The manager then apologized to Gwen profusely and repeatedly.Just then, Jacqueline looked up at her mother and godmother before asking them in an innocent voice, "Mommy, why did you and Aunt Lisa get into a fight? Didn't you tell me it's bad to get into fights?"She had expected to get scolded by her mother for getting into a fight earlier, yet surpri
Since the restaurant was still open, the police took Gwen and Anna, along with Serenity, Lisa, and Jacqueline, to the police station with the police cars soon after they arrived, and Gwen was taken aback when she heard Serenity tell the police her name while inside the police car.Serenity Lewis? Was this woman's name really Serenity Lewis?!Was that not the name of Jackson Valor's dead wife?!Still, it did not cross Gwen's mind to make a connection between the woman in front of her and Jackson's dead wife, because everyone in Solaria knew that Jackson's wife had passed away five years ago. Therefore, all she thought was how laughably pathetic this woman was. Did she really think that she would catch Jackson Valor's eye just because her name was Serenity Lewis? And she even had the gall to let her daughter call him daddy!Calling him daddy was not something that just anyone was worthy enough to do! And Gwen was sure that soon, apart from the Jackson's son, Micah Valor, her daught
Although she had lost all her memories these past five years, she still retained all her skills and knowledge, so although she had no idea that she used to be a lawyer, she chose that path once again and took a bar exam, after which she passed on her first try."You're right, it's been… a while."Mr. Lambert suddenly seemed to realize something, and his expression changed. Could it be that the person Gwen Scott was trying to sue was… Ms. Lewis the lawyer? If that was the case, he feared that his reputation as a lawyer might be in danger, because Ms. Lewis's mentor was one of the most preeminent and respected lawyers in the legal profession circle!Not only that, Ms. Lewis's mentor was famous for having one of the longest winning streaks in lawsuits and was practically undefeatable in court–and Ms. Lewis was his favorite disciple! In fact, that great lawyer had even publicly announced that she would be his last disciple!Thinking of this, Mr. Lambert started to get anxious, and he b
This face… It looked almost identical to the face of that woman on his marriage certificate.And what did the girl just call him? Daddy?!For a moment, the father and daughter stared at each other silently. But Jackson was not the only one who was floored. Connor, who was standing beside him, stared blankly at the girl who was hugging his boss tightly. Good gracious! She looked… exactly like a mini-sized Serenity Lewis! And yet, the longer he looked at her, the more he could make out a likeness of Mr. Valor in her face.Could it be that this girl was…Just then, Jacqueline knitted her delicate little eyebrows, turned to Serenity, and grumbled, "Didn't you tell me Daddy would like me very much, Mommy? Why isn't he picking me up? Didn't you say Daddy loved you so much he cried for you till snot came out of his nose?"At that moment, the girl was seriously doubting if what her mommy said was true.The crowd was flabbergasted when they heard what Jacqueline had said, but Serenity m
