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
Wilson Birch knew he would have to pay this heavy price, but he still helped Clara overturn the case anyway."Wilson Birch really is trying to atone for his sins," Serenity said, "Did he visit you while I was gone?""Yes, but he knows that I don't want to see him, so most of the time, he doesn't show himself," Clara replied. She then looked at her son who was playing with Jackie and said, "The Birch family had also sent people to talk to me about Yanny. They hoped that Yanny could take the Birch family name.""You refused?" Serenity asked because Yanny's surname was still Wells."Yanny's the one who didn't want to," Clara explained, "Wilson Birch said something he shouldn't have in front of Yanny. He thought he could easily convince Yanny to forget about it because Yanny's just a kid, but... the damage had already been done, and it's not something that could be erased easily even if Yanny's still young.""Then what about you? Will you ever forgive Wilson Birch?" asked Serenity. Sh
Serenity had heard from Lisa that Lucas had been in a state of depression after her death. There were stories about him getting drunk and crying in front of her grave. Then, he had left Solaria and rarely even came back over the years.Lucas turned his head as if sensing her gaze. When he saw her, his body shook, and his eyes looked straight at her. The woman he had only seen in his dreams or when he was drunk had just appeared before his eyes!'It's her! She's still alive! Just like what Caleb said! She's alive!' Lucas was in so much shock that he almost staggered. "Serenity..." Lucas rasped her name, overwhelmed by the strong emotional turmoil he felt at this moment. He could not believe he would ever meet her again. He was still in love with her.Lucas ran toward her the next moment, and as he reached her, he heard a child's voice."Mom, who is he?" The child's voice suddenly pulled him back to his senses. Lucas looked carefully and finally noticed a little girl standing next
Besides, it was Jacqueline's first time meeting Lucas. They were strangers. Why would he be so happy to see her?After gently stroking the little girl's head, Lucas straightened up again. This time, his eyes were burning as he looked at Serenity."You're alive. There hasn't been any news about you in the past few years. Why? Everyone thought you were dead. Do you know how much grief I felt when I saw the Valor family holding a funeral for you?"Lucas even went to the beach and visited the spot where she crashed into the ocean. At that point in time, he even thought of jumping into the sea and dying with her!"Sorry," Serenity apologized, "for making you worried."Lucas swallowed hard and met Serenity's eyes. "I'm glad you're still alive. You're still alive…" he said, his eyes turning red. Wanting to touch her and make sure she was alive, he moved his hand, hoping to be sure that she was not just his hallucination or imagination.Before his hand could touch her, she turned slightl
The look in Jackson's eyes made Serenity wince. She hoped Jackson had not misunderstood them."You don't love Serenity at all. Why are you trying to trap her?" Lucas faced Jackson head-on. "Or will you deny what you've said? That you don't love her anymore?"Jackson glared at Lucas, his lips tightly pursed. The battle of wills between the two men was a tense standoff.Lucas' hand tightened on Serenity's arm. Serenity tried to pull her arm out of Lucas' hand but she could not. Jacqueline stood beside her, obviously frightened. She was holding Serenity's other hand, and her face was pale.At last, Jackson broke the silence and snorted, "I did, so what?"As he spoke, he walked to them and grabbed Lucas' arm. "Even if I don't love her, she's still my wife. She won't go anywhere unless I let her go!""If she wants to go, even you can't stop her!" Lucas warned. He would do everything in his power to help her leave.Serenity was the person he cherished with all his heart. If Jackson co
Jackson reminded Lucas, "You may have met her earlier, but so what? I'm the one she loves." "Even if I don't love her, her heart will only be mine," Jackson said, holding Serenity's chin.Serenity was stunned by Jackson's sudden move. As she wondered what he was trying to do, his face quickly closed in, and he pressed his warm lips against hers.Serenity stared blankly at the face close to hers. Jackson was kissing her in front of so many people. Lucas, the guards, and the driver were staring, making her slightly uncomfortable. Even so, she did not want to push him away. He might have other reasons that made him kiss her, but for her, it was the first time he had initiated the kiss after their long-awaited reunion.Serenity gradually closed her eyes, unable to stop herself from drowning in the kiss.Jack! Jack! She wondered if he knew how much she loved him. Did he know how much it stung when he said he did not love her?She knew he said this because of his lost memory, but stil
Lucas stood until Jackson and Serenity disappeared from his sight, his handsome face still colored with pain and loss. Although he was the all-powerful Prince Lucas who controlled the entertainment industry, he was pathetic in love and would never get who he truly wanted.Meanwhile, Jackson quickly released Serenity's hand after leading her into the main building. "There seems to be a lot of history between you and Lucas," he remarked, his voice a little cold."Huh?" Jackson's displeasure at her interaction with Lucas was obvious. Serenity noticed this and quickly explained, "There's nothing between us. I wasn't expecting him to show up today, and I've been—"Before Serenity could finish talking, Jackson interrupted, "You don't have to tell me about what happened between you and him in the past and today. You just need to remember this. You're Mrs. Valor now, so don't do anything that'll hurt the family's reputation."With those harsh words, Jackson went upstairs.Serenity glared
"You're not getting a stepmom," Jackson said, his lips slightly pursed. With this statement, he answered Micah's doubt."Oh," Micah responded and continued eating his meal.When Jacqueline realized she would not be getting a stepmom, the sadness on her face faded, and she happily ate her dinner with her brother.After dinner, Serenity played with the kids and helped her son with his kindergarten homework. In fact, Micah did not need her help. Her son was much brighter than she thought. All she needed to do was observe him and give him the materials he needed for the homework."Mom, when can I go to kindergarten with Micah?" Jacqueline asked, watching them with great interest."Maybe next week. The paperwork is almost ready," Serenity answered, and the little girl was overjoyed by her answer.After Micah finished his homework, Serenity had the two kids play together. Wanting to talk to Jackson about Lucas, she went to the study to meet Jackson.Jackson never spoke a word to her a
