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
It was only a little past 5 am. A normal household would not have breakfast this early."From now on, breakfast will be served according to your work hours. You'll definitely get to have breakfast before going to work every day," said Jackson. He led Serenity to the dining table and gently pressed down on her shoulders to make her sit down.Serenity did so obediently. There was a rich variety of food on the table. She had a glass of milk, a bowl of congee, and a few pastries.It was a much more sumptuous breakfast than the $2 buns she usually bought in the morning.It also made her even more aware that she was truly living in the Valor Residence now and not in that tiny rental house."I'll ask my driver to drive you to the sanitation office," said Jackson."No, it's fine. I'll just take the bus," Serenity quickly refused."The sanitation office is pretty far away. You'll have to change buses twice. You're gonna be late." He looked at her calmly, as if he was sure she would relen
"So far, no one has been able to find out what brand the scarf and gloves are. Some people say they might be hand-knitted and custom-made by a famous designer."Serenity sweated profusely while listening to her co-workers' discussion. She wondered how they would feel if they knew that she was the one who knitted the scarf and gloves.When Xyla saw Jackson Valor's scarf and gloves on their co-worker's phone, she could not help wondering, "Those gloves look a lot like the pair you were knitting before, Serenity."After all, not only did Xyla see Serenity knit those gloves, Serenity would even ask Xyla for advice whenever she encountered a problem while knitting. Xyla naturally remembered what the gloves looked like.But Xyla's words were immediately met with ridicule by their co-workers."Xyla, how would Serenity's gloves end up on Jackson Valor's hands?""Even if Jackson Valor's gloves are hand-knitted, they must have been made by a famous designer. There's no way he would wear a
