"Are you saying that I scare you?" he asked.She hesitated slightly before replying, "I know that you're just treating me as an object in a game. You still maintain interest in me because the novelty hasn't worn off, but once your interest fades, I'll become worthless to you. If I accidentally piss you off, I might end up getting tormented again like I did back in prison."She never wanted to go through that kind of miserable experience again!"Surely saying all these things to me wouldn't piss me off, right?" he questioned.Her body stiffened. Of course she was afraid that it would, but she still chose to say them.Her reaction told him everything he needed to know.Silence enclosed around them. It was a scary silence.Serenity lowered her head. The only thing she could hear right now was her own breathing and heartbeat. Jackson did not say anything, but she could feel his eyes on her.She had no idea how much time had passed when she finally heard him say, "What if I tell you
She lightly bit her lip. Then, she sat down, picked up the chopsticks with her uninjured right hand and slowly finished her meal.All the while, he sat quietly next to her, watching her with his chin resting on his hand.Her eyelashes had a natural curl which was even more pronounced whenever she looked downwards. Her face was so small that he could cover it with one hand.Her tiny nose and her cheeks that were constantly moving while she was chewing made her look like a cute little pet.He had never realized that watching a woman eat could be so fascinating.The more he looked at her, the more he wanted to hide her away from prying eyes so that he would be the only person who could look at her and get close to her.He would not allow anyone else to covet her!Although Serenity was eating with her head hanging down, she could feel Jackson's eyes on her the whole time.There was an ambiguous feeling in the air.She felt her face becoming hotter and hotter. Even swallowing seeme
His lips moved even closer to hers. Their lips were almost touching by now.Serenity could not help but blush. "Don't..." she said in a panic.He stopped and stared at her fixedly. "Then how about you tell me how you met him.""A thief stole his bracelet. The thief then bumped into me and the bracelet fell into my pocket. Lucas Gomez asked for it back from me. That's how I met him," Serenity said in a hurry."Really?" he asked, "How many times have you met him?"She didn't count! But seeing Jackson's face moving closer, Serenity quickly counted and answered, "Four... Four times. After the incident, he bought me dinner to thank me for the bracelet. Then I ran into him at the hospital my grandmother was staying in. And then I met him again on the set today."His eyes gleamed. Based on his understanding of Lucas, if Lucas merely wanted to thank her for the bracelet, he could have just paid her. He did not have to buy her dinner.In other words, Lucas already had his eye on her back
"Mmh..." Serenity reflexively tried to push him away with her right hand, and when he grabbed it, she tried to do the same with her left hand.When his fingers pressed down on her left hand, she inhaled sharply and instinctively opened her mouth to cry out in pain, but that allowed him to kiss her even deeper.She could hardly breathe.She had no idea how much time had passed before he finally ended the kiss and let go of her hands.He had a hand on her waist while his other hand gently held up her left hand. "Did I hurt you, Sis?"Serenity bit her lip and glared at Jackson. "Why did you do that?""Because I don't like it when you say something I don't want to hear," he chuckled softly, as if he had a gentle personality, "If you plan to say it again, I don't mind kissing you one more time.""......" She did not say anything, afraid that he would really do it.Jackson lowered his head and carefully inspected the swelling on the back of Serenity's hand. "Your injury will probably
In fact, he did not even want her to bring the clothes, but she said, "I'm used to wearing my own clothes. They're more comfortable."Therefore, he said no more and let her bring them.After she finished packing, Serenity wanted to carry the luggage, but Jackson picked it up first and said, "Let me do it."They walked out of the rental house with Serenity following close behind Jackson.Sometimes, she found him very unpredictable. One second, he would look very gentle, as if he would be treating her very well, but the next second, he would look like he was about to send her to hell.Now that she was going to the Valor Residence, their relationship would become even more unclear.When would she finally be able to cut all ties with him? Must she wait until he got bored of her? She stared at his back. Her eyes fell on the scarf he was wearing around his neck.It was the scarf she knitted for him, which was made of old wool. She never expected him to wear the scarf and gloves she kn
Mr. Knot looked thoughtfully at Serenity while trying hard to suppress his astonishment.Serenity greeted him, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Knot.""Miss Lewis, if you need anything, feel free to call for me," Mr. Knot told her with a smile."Just call me Serenity," she said. Miss Lewis sounded awkward to her."You're the young master's guest. Of course I have to call you Miss Lewis," said Mr. Knot, as if these manners were very important to him.Serenity did not insist. She would not be staying for long anyway."Mr. Knot, take her to the guest rooms and let her pick a room that she likes," instructed Jackson."I'm fine with any room," said Serenity."Uhh..." Mr. Knot turned to Jackson."In that case, take her to the attached room on the third floor," said Jackson indifferently."Very well, Mr. Valor," Mr. Knot answered.Serenity was puzzled. What's an attached room? But Mr. Knot was already leading her to the third floor, so she did not ask.When they reached the third floor, Mr.
Serenity wandered to the bedside table absentmindedly while she pondered. When her eyes fell on the photo frame on the table, she immediately froze. Her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.It was a photo of her!The problem was, she did not remember ever taking that picture. In the picture, she wasn't even looking at the camera.Who took the picture? Why was there a picture of her here? And who lived in this room?...*Click*Someone opened the door. Serenity looked up and saw that it was Jackson."Looks like you already found out that the two rooms are connected. Saves me the explanation," Jackson walked forward with a smile. His eyes fell on the photo frame Serenity was holding. "What do you think of the picture?""Why is there a picture of me here?" she asked."I asked someone to take it," he said. He took the photo frame from her hand and put it back on the bedside table. "I miss you dearly when I can't see you."That last part sounded very suggestive.She shivered and su
Shouldn't she be afraid of him? He was a man who could easily cause her pain and humiliation. With a single word, he could make her life hell.So why would she lose control of herself whenever he moved close to her and whispered in her ear?He was not a man she could handle. Even though he called her Sis, she knew she was just a pawn to him – a pawn that he played with because he was bored!In the other room, Jackson picked up the picture on the bedside table and stared at the person in the picture. Her almond-shaped eyes were looking ahead and there was a little smile on her face.The serenity and tranquility on her delicate face gave off a comfortable feeling.Whenever she looked at him with that smile, he would feel like he had obtained something that he did not even know existed in the past."Sis," Jackson softly whispered. His fingers brushed the lips of the person in the picture. Then, as if he could no longer hold himself back, he kissed the person in the picture.Just no
