Her body became even stiffer. She looked away almost subconsciously, not wanting him to see the look in her eyes."Did it ever cross your mind that it's exactly because I'm Jackson Valor that I could make your ex-classmate who insulted you get on her knees to apologize to you? From now on, you no longer have to care about what other people think. I can make anyone who looks down on you bow down to you," he said calmly."So? They would bow down to me because of you, not because of me," she said."What's wrong with that? You can borrow my power, what do you think?” He leaned back lazily on the chair and asked her casually, as if he was discussing something very ordinary.Serenity looked at him in confusion. She went to beg him the other day and was met with his refusal, so she thought he was done with her. She thought they would go their separate ways from then on.After all, how could a proud man like him take it well when he gets rejected by a woman?But to her surprise, he sudde
Suddenly, a knock came from the door.Jackson said nonchalantly, "Come in."The door opened. It was the manager. He came in with some waiters to serve the food Jackson ordered. Serenity consciously tried to pull her hands back, but Jackson held onto them and said, "Don't move, they're still cold."The manager and the waiters immediately looked at their hands. Serenity's face turned red.However, Jackson kept warming Serenity's hands as if no one was watching.Was that really... Jackson Valor? The legendary Jackson Valor who would strip the women who tried to seduce him naked and throw them onto the street?It was said that Jackson Valor did not care much for women, but right now, he was treating a very ordinary looking woman... very lovingly!It was unbelievable!The manager was the first to react. He quickly cleared his throat and told the waiters to serve the food and wine. After that, they withdrew from the private room. The manager carefully closed the door behind him."Ma
"Until I'm satisfied," he said.She bit her lip and stared at the glass of wine in his hand. With the light in the room illuminating her face, her slightly trembling eyelashes looked strangely beautiful."Are you afraid that I'd take advantage of you when you're drunk?" he said, as if he could read her mind, "If I really want a woman, I have plenty of ways to get her. I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. Even if I force myself on you right now, no one would stop me."That's true, Serenity laughed to herself. She was overthinking it.She took the glass of wine and drank it all in one go.The wine that slid down her throat was both bitter and sweet.She was not much of a drinker. Even in the past, when she had to socialize because of work, she would only drink some champagne.At the time, she was Zeke Shaw's girlfriend, so no one would force her to drink more.Jackson filled the glass with more wine. She drank her second glass.And just like that, she drank one glass a
Despite stuttering, she managed to finish the sentence."I will," he answered. After all, he promised he would. He had seen her drunk, so he would naturally fulfill his end of the bargain and release her relatives.He took the glass of wine in her hand and gulped it down.She must be really drunk, or she would not have called him "Jack".She had no idea how much he liked to hear her call him "Jack". When she called him Jack with that gentle voice, he felt as if there was someone who would be waiting for him in the middle of the night.She smiled again. It was a really sweet smile. Then, as if she had finished her task, she flung herself into his arms, her hands wrapping around his neck. "Jack, I... I'm so sleepy, I want to... sleep..."After saying that, she actually fell asleep in his arms.He lowered his head and looked at her in a daze.Serenity was very wary of him when she was sober, but when she was sleeping, she had no guard up."Sis, you're cuter when you're drunk," he
"Sometimes, being overly curious can be a bad thing," Lucas looked away and started the car."Mm-hmm, I know," Aria said, trying to appear docile.She had asked around and found out that Lucas Gomez liked women who listened to him. Usually, the more obedient the woman, the longer she could stay by his side. Those who tried hard to be the "exception" and wanted to be his "only one" would get dumped by him really quickly.Although she also wanted to be the "exception" and his "only one", she would not be hasty. She would take her time and make herself more important to him little by little."Lucas, thanks for the necklace you gave me earlier. I love it, but I'm afraid I won't have that many occasions to wear such a beautiful and expensive necklace," Aria first put on a happy expression, then changed it to one of regret.Little did she know how laughable Lucas found her performance, which she thought was perfect.He had simply seen way too many women acting in front of him. "You can
"You can go back now," Jackson told Connor who had followed him inside.Connor's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but having worked for Jackson for many years, he naturally understood that some questions should be left unasked."Yes, Mr. Valor," Connor replied before leaving the house.Since Mr. Valor told him to go back, did that mean Mr. Valor was going to... stay here tonight?There were only two people left in the rental house - Jackson and Serenity.He helped her take off her shoes and jacket, covered her in a blanket, pulled a chair over and sat down next to the bed.He had not been here for a while. All the "traces" he left in the house were gone.Did she throw away all the stuff he used? The thought made him frown. It made him feel uncomfortable.Serenity, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She tried to get out of bed."What's wrong?" he asked.She said blurrily, "Water... I want water..."She must be thirsty after drinking so much wine.Jackso
His jet-black eyes were fixed on her. Her drunken demeanor was coquettish and alluring. Surely, not many people had seen her like this before.Had Zeke Shaw... seen it before?Suddenly, a touch of jealousy crept into his heart. He was jealous of the fact that Zeke Shaw had once dated her. Back when she was with Zeke Shaw, did she also say his name with such a gentle voice? How intimate were they?"Do you really think I'm good looking?" he asked softly. He wanted to keep her firmly by his side just like this so that no one else could see her looking so alluring."Yeah, of course. Jack, you're the most handsome man I've ever seen." She chuckled and naughtily touched the tip of his nose with her finger as if he was an interesting toy.She was the only person that he would allow to treat him as a toy.Suddenly, her expression changed. Her smile disappeared and it was replaced by a look of sadness. "Jack, I'll be good to you, so don't leave me, okay?"Her eyes were clouded with a lay
When she looked at him with those loving eyes, when she smiled at him and called him "Jack", when her hands wrapped around his neck and her sweet breath rushed into his nostrils, he felt as if he was intoxicated too."Looks like I shouldn't have said that I wouldn't touch you when you’re drunk," he murmured. This was the first time he would go back on his word, and it was all because of her.He bent down and kissed her on the lips, so fondly and so lovingly.He did not know how long the kiss lasted, but when he finally stopped, he found that she had fallen asleep again."She's so..." He was overcome with a rare feeling of helplessness. She was probably the only person in the world who could fall asleep after messing with him!He stared fixedly at the woman in his arms. After a while, he sighed and covered her up with the blanket again. He then got out of bed and sat down next to her."You owe me one, okay?" he whispered, his voice drifting across the quiet house.The little rent
