“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
Did Mr. Knot and Connor tell him? Serenity turned to the two men, but found them looking just as surprised."I used to visit your grave with Daddy. There's a picture of you on the tombstone," Micah said.Serenity almost choked on her own saliva. Visit her grave... and a picture of her on the tombstone?Serenity looked at Jackson who was sitting on the couch with a calm face. He... took their son to visit her grave? What a scene that must have been!"Why did you visit Mommy's grave?" Jacqueline asked with a puzzled face."Because Mommy passed away," Micah said."But Mommy is clearly still alive.""Everyone said Mommy's dead."And so the two children started arguing whether Serenity was dead or alive.Serenity was sweating like crazy. She hurriedly said, "Stop, stop! Mommy is alive and well. It's all... a misunderstanding! Micah, Mommy's back now. Mommy's sorry Mommy was gone for so long. Mommy will never leave you again."Serenity was holding back tears now.She remembered wh
That's his voice!"Yes, I do, Jack! I want you!" Whose voice was that again? It's ...... It's Serenity's voice!Jackson stared at Serenity intensely while massaging his temple with one hand. He felt as if his head was being poked by sharp needles."Serenity, if you want me, then you can never leave me!""I'll never leave you, Jack!""Serenity... Serenity..."He called her name over and over again, as if her name, to him, was the most important thing in the world...His head... hurt so badly! The memory fragments rapidly passed before his eyes, yet he couldn't focus on them.Those voices, those conversations... What's going on? Was that... a conversation he had with her in the past?Mr. Knot noticed Jackson's abnormality, so he instantly stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, are you having another headache?"Jackson took a deep breath, but what came out of his mouth was a groan. This time, the headache was a little stronger than before.Serenity also let go of Micah and w
When that word came out of his mouth, Serenity and Jackson both froze at the same time.How long had it been since she had heard him call her that…? Serenity stared at the person in front of her in a daze. There was a time in the past when he would still occasionally call her Sis even though they were already dating.Because, to him, she was more than just the woman he loved – she was also his family.He said that calling her Sis made him feel less lonely.Serenity raised her free arm and gently combed back the wet hair on his forehead, then slowly moved her hand to his temple. "I'm here, Jack. Lie down and get some rest. The doctor will be here soon."He kept staring at her, as if his headache was less intense than the shock he was experiencing.Why... did he call her Sis just now? The term felt so familiar to him, as if he had called her that a million times before!"You..." he said with difficulty, seemingly wanting to ask her something."Stop talking. If you talk while havi
