"Jack, do you know how much I love you?" Serenity couldn't help but whisper. She even had the urge to kiss him.He slowly opened his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. Serenity saw her own face reflected in those enchanting eyes.Serenity was stunned. She felt as if her soul were captured by those eyes. She lost herself in the brimming waves of light."How much?" A voice as melodic as wind blowing through a bamboo forest entered Serenity's ears.With a start, Serenity returned to her senses. "I..." How much did she... love him?She loved him so much that she could forget all her grievances. Even after she learned that he stood idly by when he knew that she was wrongfully imprisoned, she... still chose to be with him.She would never love another man in this world the way she loved him, and no other man in this world would love her the way he loved her.Connor told her that she had fallen into the sea five years ago because she didn't want him to die in order to save h
Rather, it was because she loved him too much. She loved him so much that she was unwilling to see him die for her. She loved him so much that she would rather sacrifice her own life and the lives of the three children in her womb.She selfishly traded her children's lives for his. Fortunately, the children were still alive. Even though one of her children had gone missing, she firmly believed that that child was alive too!The light in Jackson's eyes flickered. He never believed women.His father lost his life because he believed in his mother – believed that she actually loved him.Therefore, Jackson would not believe women, because if he did, it would mean that there was a possibility of being betrayed one day. If he did not believe them, then he would never experience the pain of being betrayed."It's not what I think? Then tell me what the reason is," Jackson said."I..." Serenity pursed her lips. In the end, she could only say, "I don't remember because of the amnesia."It
After the kiss, Serenity looked at Jackson with a slightly blushing face.There was coldness and confusion in his dark eyes. The two contradicting emotions intersected in his eyes, but his face was almost expressionless!Just looking at him like this made her want to kiss him again."Do you have any idea how good-looking you are? Do you have any idea how attractive women find you? How can you be so sure that I didn't fall in love with you? How can you be so sure that I'm not captivated by you? Or do you not even have that much confidence in yourself?"While saying that, her fingertips gently brushed his lips."You..." He grabbed her hand to stop her. Her action was clearly meant to seduce him.However, when he grabbed her hand, he could clearly feel that her finger bones were somewhat abnormal.It was only then that Jackson noticed her fingers were slightly deformed. They did not look pretty at all.His eyes suddenly turned sharp. "What's wrong with your fingers...?""It's not
"Deal!" Serenity replied without any hesitation, "I'll never let go. I'll hold onto your hand even if my arm breaks. But Jack... I hope that, one day, you won't let me go either. After all..." Her eyes similarly shifted to their hands. "It's stronger when both of us hold onto each other, isn't it?"His fingers moved a little, almost imperceptibly. After he heard her say that, he actually felt the urge to hold her hand...Jackson ended up eating the food that Serenity brought him. However, while he was eating, she rested her chin on one hand and kept staring at him with smiley eyes, which made him slightly uncomfortable.It's not like he never had women staring at him before, but her gaze seemed to make his blood flow faster for some reason. Since when would a woman's gaze affect him like this?That night, Serenity returned to her old bedroom, which was the room that was connected to Jackson's bedroom.To her surprise, the room remained exactly the same as the last time she stayed
Jacqueline, who was sitting to his right, looked at him curiously and asked, ''Daddy, why aren't you eating? Mommy's buns are the best! They're really yummy."She then turned to Micah and asked, "They're yummy, right?"Micah's mouth was stuffed with buns. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded his little head somewhat stiffly.He actually didn't find the buns that yummy, but... Mommy made them, so he wanted to try them. In the cartoons he watched and at his kindergarten, the kids all ate food made by their Mommies.The buns his Mommy made weren't bad, and they looked really cute.But... would Daddy eat the buns? Micah was seriously skeptical.And so, both kids looked at their Daddy expectantly. Serenity said with smiley eyes, "Try them. They're delicious. I spent a lot of effort on them." To be more precise, it took her a lot of trial and error; she finally figured out how to make them properly after failing to make them for Jacqueline countless times.Jackson pursed his lips
He looked away a little uncomfortably. He then straightened up and said, "It's fine." After that, Jackson took his son's hand and left the house.Serenity felt confused. What did he mean by "it's fine"? Did he mean that she could still do it? Did he mean that... he's fine with her touching his head?Did that mean he still had feelings for her? That he liked her?Perhaps making him fall in love with her again might not be as hard as she thought it would be."Fancy seeing you here," Caleb greeted Lucas with a smile."I'm free today, so I thought I'd come here to kill some time," Lucas said, "I might have to leave Solaria again in a few days.""Again?" Caleb was taken aback, "You only came back a few days ago.""We have a new project abroad. Someone needs to go take charge, so I volunteered," Lucas said."And your old man's fine with that?""I don't care. He can't stop me."Caleb said hesitantly, "Lucas, are you staying away from Solaria because of Serenity?"Lucas's face inst
In the past five years, he had lived every day in regret. Why did he miss out on her? He had a chance initially, but he destroyed that chance with his own hands and pushed her towards Jackson.If she didn't marry Jackson, she wouldn't have fallen into the sea!When he reached the Valor Residence's gate, his car was stopped by the security guard."I'm here to see Serenity!" Lucas got out of the car and said.The security guard recognized Lucas. "Mrs. Valor is out. Please make an appointment and come back later."Lucas didn't leave, however. He stayed and waited at the gate.If she's not in, then he would wait until she came back. He had waited five years, so what's a few more hours?The security guard didn't know what to say. After all, that's Lucas Gomez, the crown prince of the entertainment industry, and he wasn't standing within the boundaries of the Valor Residence so the security guard couldn't make him leave.Currently, Serenity was on a subway back to Valor Residence wit
After a while, Yanny realized with a start that he was hugging Serenity in public. A blush came onto his childish face. He looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do.Serenity could not help but smile. He was still the Yanny she remembered.Because Micah was in kindergarten, Serenity only brought Jacqueline along. The two children got along quite well.There was only one hiccup. Jacqueline curiously scrutinized the hearing aid Yanny was wearing and pulled the hearing aid out without warning, almost dropping the hearing aid into a glass of water.Serenity quickly explained to her what a hearing aid was and told her she shouldn't pull the hearing aid out again.Jacqueline blinked a few times, seemingly finding it hard to understand. "Yanny can't hear if he doesn't wear this?""That's right, so I have to wear it all the time," Yanny replied after putting the hearing aid back on.Now that he was a bit older, he had a better understanding of the world's discrimination against the
