A while later, even with his arms wrapped around her shoulders, he did not push her away.Did that mean… he did not hate her anymore?! Only then did Serenity’s heart calm down. It had been five years since she had last seen the man standing before her. Even so, his appearance hadn’t changed much. It was as if time had left no marks on his body. If anything, he appeared much more mature. Of course, this air of maturity only lasted to the point where he started shedding tears. When he cried, he felt… so childlike. Especially at this moment, when his peach blossom eyes were still moist with tears. Although he was staring at her, for some reason, she could sense a hint of seduction behind his gaze. It might sound contradictory, but it was the oddity of the scenario that attracted her gaze even more! Did this man know how attractive he was at the moment? Serenity couldn’t stop herself from pushing her face up to him. “Jack, I’ve missed you so much… I’ve been thinking of you e
Serenity couldn’t help but blush when she thought of her bold moves in the car earlier.She never expected to be able to pull off such a move… but after meeting Jack, everything seemed to develop like clockwork!However… she had forgotten, there was a group of people waiting outside the vehicle!And so, when she emerged to bring her daughter into the car, the crowd gave her questionable looks, as if they had guessed what she was doing in the car!Her daughter was much more direct when she asked her, “Mommy, what were you doing with Daddy in the car? Were you telling him a story?” Serenity almost choked on her spit when she heard that. Whenever the little girl felt sad, Mommy would tell her a story as a distraction. And so, this became a shared habit between them.The girl probably mistook Jackson’s crying for his sadness, so Mommy was trying to cheer him up by telling a story. “Yeah… Mommy was telling Daddy a story,” replied Serenity awkwardly. When she said that, the skepti
After all, only a handful of people were aware of this matter. “Shortly after you fell into the sea, Mr. Valor almost went mad from grief. I remember how much pain he was in when Walter handed him your ashes. If he hadn’t forgotten you, he wouldn’t have survived this long!” Connor’s words stirred up a storm of emotions in Serenity’s heart. What kind of memories had she lost?! Jack had almost gone mad and was suicidal after that incident?!“What happened? Why did I fall into the sea in the first place?” asked Serenity hastily. She couldn’t wait to rediscover her lost memories. Connor proceeded to tell Serenity exactly what had happened when she fell into the sea. “When he was holding your ashes, Mr. Valor said you resembled neither a human nor a ghost. According to Walter, he chose to erase all memories of you in the end so that Mr. Valor could continue living.” “Erase? How is that possible? And he erased me alone?” “He did it through hypnosis. Walter managed to get a profe
“Mr. Valor adopted Anna after Micah found out that she and her mother were being bullied, and since he wanted a younger sister, he decided to adopt her,” explained Connor, fearing that Serenity would misunderstand the situation. “Micah said that?” Serenity looked excited when she heard Connor mention his name. “Yes. The young master should be back from kindergarten soon, so you’ll be seeing him in no time,” said Connor. “What about the other children? I remember I was pregnant with triplets, but when I woke up at the hospital, there was only Jacqueline next to me. Are the other two children here?” asked Serenity anxiously. This time, Connor and Mr. Knot displayed a sorrowful expression. “Unfortunately, we only have Micah with us.” Serenity felt her heart drop as a stinging pain seized her chest. Although she had pondered such a possibility, it still felt painful when the truth was confirmed to her. There were clearly three children in her belly, but there were only two le
Jacqueline heard from the servant that her father was in the study, so after confirming which room was the study, she ran straight into the study. She had so many things she wanted to say to her father, and now was the chance! “Who let you in?” asked Jackson with an obvious look of displeasure on his face. This was the room reserved for contemplation, so he hated it when people came in and disturbed him. What’s more, he was thinking about Serenity’s matter, about the uncanny resemblance between this little girl and Serenity. He felt irritated to no end, but for what reason, he couldn’t say. “I came in on my own,” replied the child. “I wanted to get a proper look at Daddy. Make sure you take a good look at me too, Daddy. From now on, I’m Daddy’s daughter, so don’t you mistake another child for me!” She wanted Daddy to be like her, who managed to recognize her Daddy immediately. When she thought of that, she felt incredibly proud of herself. “Who said you could call me Daddy?
Her two little paws rubbed his face without any reservations.Her natural friendliness reminded Jackson of Serenity. She's just like her mother.Jacqueline was very happy with this height. She could finally get a good look at her Daddy. Looking at Daddy up close like this was a completely different experience from looking at photos.It's a real Daddy!"I think I'll like Daddy, but you can't cry all the time, okay? Boys shouldn't cry so much. If you do, people will laugh at me for having a crybaby Daddy."The little girl seemed a little ashamed of him. Jackson didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No one in Solaria dared to mock him, but this little girl who's probably his own daughter actually did.After saying that, the little girl yawned. She seemed to be a little sleepy. Her eyelids started to droop.Being carried by Daddy like this was so comfortable that it made her sleepy!Even though she was sleepy, the little girl still gave Jackson a peck on the face.The moment her so
Meanwhile, Jackson was as rigid as a statue. When he saw Serenity walking in, he asked with a frown, "How come it's you?""Connor said you needed someone to take Jackie. Does it matter who?" Serenity asked. Looking at the person in front of her, she couldn't stop her nose from getting stuffy again.According to Connor, after her "death", Jackson held her ashes in his arms and looked completely broken. Although she did not see it in person, simply listening to Connor's description of it was enough to make her heart ache.How much did this man love her?! He once told her that he could sacrifice his life for her, and he actually did.Connor also said that, when she was trapped in the car and Jack had to choose between his life and hers, he had even recorded his will on the spot.This man loved her with every fiber of his being... he had simply forgotten, that's all! He had forgotten how much he used to love her.However, he was still alive, and that was good enough. This time, it wa
"I don't know exactly how I fell in love with you in the past, but do you really think the current you are deserving of my love?" He subconsciously raised his voice as if to hide his weakness.Because of that, it woke up the little girl who was sleeping on his shoulder.Jacqueline half-opened her eyes drowsily and said, "Daddy, Jacqueline wants to sleep, so keep it down!" The little girl then kissed Jackson on the face again as if she was comforting him.Jackson's body tensed up once more, and his expression became a little awkward.Serenity took a few steps forward and said, "Jackie, Mommy will take you to another room to sleep, okay? Daddy still has work to do."The little girl assented and obediently spread her arms.Serenity took her daughter from Jackson. The little girl rested her head on Serenity's shoulder and went back to sleep.Jackson's arms suddenly felt really empty. Earlier, he couldn't wait for the little girl to be taken away, but when she actually was, he felt a
