Mr. Valor called him into the office but remained silent after that. He simply stared at Connor. Connor had no idea what was going on. Did Mr. Valor had an argument with his wife?While Connor was considering all kinds of possibilities, Jackon finally spoke, "Do you really not know the reason why Serenity left five years ago?"Connor almost choked on his saliva."Why... are you suddenly asking that?""You guys told me she left because she couldn't get over what I did after Mira Hall's death," Jackson said."Th-That's probably the case... We're not her, so we could only guess." Connor kept sweating profusely. "But even Mrs. Valor herself can't remember the reason anymore. Looking back on it... maybe that's not the case. Mrs. Valor said after she came back that she had actually forgiven you after learning the truth.""She had?" Jackson scoffed. Yes, she did forgive him, but she still couldn't stand his touch. She would throw up every time he made physical contact with her.Could t
And to Connor's dismay, Mr. Valor didn't want anyone to know that he invited Dr. Joseph to Solaria, so Connor couldn't even discuss this with anyone!"Alright, you can go. Leave me alone," Jackson said."Yes, Mr. Valor," Connor replied and left the office.Jackson leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, murmuring, "Serenity... is still alive... She's still alive..."He suddenly laughed out loud. His laughter grew increasingly louder, and tears dropped down from the corners of his closed eyes.One drop at a time, they kept falling.He had regained most of his memories. He now remembered how he and she met, fell in love, broke up, and got married.All these made him realize how madly he was in love with her. He loved her so much that it taught him fear, regret, and helplessness.Every time he recalled the memory of her learning the truth about Mira Hall's death, he would be in pain.Back then, he thought that as long as he kept the truth hidden, she would never know.But
"We're... not having a baby. Mommy's just playing with Daddy," Serenity could only reply awkwardly, and then quickly changed the subject, "So Micah has never been to the amusement park with Daddy before?""I've been to the amusement park before, but not with Daddy," Micah said.Serenity turned to Jackson and asked, "Why didn't you go with him?""I asked the servants to take him there," Jackson said."But what if Micah got lost in the amusement park because the servants got careless?" Besides, kids would only enjoy visiting the amusement park if they went with their parents!"He wouldn't," Jackson said confidently."How can you be so sure?"Serenity thus learned that Jackson had booked the entire amusement park the day Micah went. All the staff at the amusement park served only Micah that day.Jackson had even sent 10 bodyguards along to protect Micah in case anything happened.Serenity was speechless. Well, it's true that Micah would definitely be safe that way, but was it rea
Instead of living, he was simply going through the motions every day.Fortunately, she had returned, and their lives were gradually getting back on track. Now, his only worry was the last bit of his memory that he still hadn't recovered!That piece of memory contained the reason why she left him five years ago!He could only pray that she was right – that she didn't leave him because she didn't love him anymore!“Jack!” At the amusement park entrance, Serenity said to Jackson, “Remember to hold onto Jackie, okay? She sometimes gets so excited at the amusement park that she runs off by herself.”Serenity was currently holding her son’s hand. She couldn’t help but sigh at how well-behaved her son was. She didn’t have to worry about him at all. On the other hand, her daughter was already dragging Jackson around, asking all sorts of questions.“She won’t get lost. Even if we lose sight of her, someone will find her and bring her back,” Jackson said.Oh? Serenity blinked. Could it be
The bodyguards, who were hiding in the shadows, saw this too. They looked at each other in surprise. Did Mr. Valor... actually do that?!It felt like Mr. Valor had become a different person since his wife and daughter came back.After the family of four entered the amusement park, Serenity whispered to Jackson, "Actually, umm... you didn't have to do that.""But we're a family, right?" Jackson said.Serenity was momentarily stunned. She saw his profound eyes looking at her gently. His eyes were filled with affection.She couldn't explain it, but she felt that the way he looked at her now was different from before. It was as if she meant the world to him."That's right, we're a family," Serenity answered softly.They were guided around the amusement park by Micah. After all, he had already been there once. However, to Micah, it felt completely different from the last time he came.There were a lot of people at the amusement park, especially kids. Even though they had to queue to
"Go tell your daughter off then. What does she mean by her mom's inheritance? We've already agreed that Jasper will inherit everything. Jasper is your flesh and blood. Your daughter will just run off with some guy in the future. She's just a leech!" the woman said angrily."That's enough! Everyone's staring at us!" The man tried to pacify the woman.The little girl turned around and gently touched the little boy's face that was slapped earlier. She asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"Serenity couldn't see the little boy's expression, but she saw the little boy shake his head, presumably to tell the little girl that it didn't hurt.Serenity's heart went out to the pair of siblings.Based on the conversation earlier, the woman was obviously their stepmother. Her biological son was the chubby boy named Jasper.The little boy and the little girl were likely the father's children from an earlier relationship.The boy and the girl seemed to have a tight bond. When the boy was hit by h
At noon, they had lunch at a restaurant in the amusement park. The two children were tired from playing, so their appetites were good and they ate heartily.After they were done eating, they were eager to play at the playground in the restaurant. There were a lot of children playing there.Serenity told Jackson, "I'll take them to the playground."She then took one child in each hand and went to the playground.Jackson stared at their backs, his eyes filled with a rare tenderness. They were his family, the most important people to him. His tenderness was reserved only for them.His only worry now was that last piece of memory had yet to recover... the one that contained the real reason why Serenity left him five years ago.If she had really left him because she couldn't accept him, what should he do? Should he try to prevent her from recovering that memory, or...A dark emotion flashed across Jackson's eyes.Meanwhile, at the playground, Serenity let the two children loose whil
"Then…" After thinking for a while, the little girl suggested, "Why don't you play with me? I really want to play. Caden, join me!" "Okay, Sis." This time, the little boy agreed without hesitation. "If you want to play, I'll join you."Serenity jolted when she heard Caden calling the little girl 'Sis'. Caden's eyes and expression reminded her so much of Jack. She watched the little girl take the little boy's hand, and just as the children got up, a slightly chubby boy came over, followed by several older kids.The chubby boy named Jasper told the older kids, "That's who I'm talking about. He's good at fighting. I've never seen him lose, and you guys can't beat him either.""Jasper! What are you talking about!" The girl scowled."I'm not wrong! Caden is good at fighting!" Jasper bragged with a mean look on his chubby face.Serenity observed the children and realized Jasper had deliberately said this to stir the other boys' need to win. Sure enough, the older boys got excited and
