By the time she was done brushing her teeth and washing her face, Serenity's face had become as red as a tomato.When she grabbed the comb to comb her hair, he abruptly took the comb from her and said, "I'll comb your hair for you."She was stunned. "But...""Don't worry, I won't make your hair look bad," he said with a smile. He then started to gently comb her hair.His actions were very gentle, as if he was taking care of his most beloved treasure.In this world, how many people would he treat so gently?Through the mirror before her, Serenity stared at Jackson in bewilderment.Her face was still red hot, but her eyes were brimming with happiness and also a little bit of shyness. He had a smile on his face, as well as a gentle expression that would make countless women swoon.He gathered her hair in his slender fingers and combed it a little bit at a time until it was all bunched up in his palm, after which he tied it up with a hair tie."Should I comb your hair regularly fr
"Do you really expect them to help us? How?" asked Quinton. "Would the Shaw family become enemies with Jackson Valor? Do you want the Shaw family to inject hundreds of millions of dollars into our family business to raise the stock price back up?"Demetria instantly shut her mouth. She was not completely clueless about business. After hearing what her husband said, she understood that it was impossible to get help from the Shaw family.Leaving aside the question of whether the Shaw family had hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidity, she knew there was no way the Shaw family would become enemies with Jackson Valor for them."Then... what should we do?" Demetria asked anxiously, "What is wrong with Jackson Valor? How can he let himself be seduced by a woman like Serenity Lewis? Did she put a spell on him or something? She's just a woman Zeke cast away!"Quinton said a little impatiently, "That's enough. You can say that to me, but don't let anyone else hear you say that or we'll
Serenity went to the hospital to visit Yanny again. Unlike the previous time, Yanny was awake this time. He was playing with Clara in the hospital ward. Clara was pointing at various things and telling Yanny they were called.Yanny was listening attentively. He was actually "listening". He would point his finger at something that Clara had pointed at, and Clara would say the object's name again.Serenity shouted, "Yanny."The little boy instantly turned back to look in Serenity's direction.He had never done something like that before. It was evident that Yanny could actually hear her voice now! Serenity felt happy for him.Being able to hear meant that he would be able to learn to speak as well. As long as he wore his cochlear implant, he would be able to communicate like most people.Getting a cochlear implant at three years old was actually a little late. Doctors usually recommended getting one as early as possible. Fortunately, it was not too late. Most children at Yanny's ag
"But from what I can see, Mr. Valor is treating you very well. I'm glad you found happiness, Serenity," said Clara.Found happiness? Maybe. Things were getting better and better between her and Jack. She felt like they had regained the warmth that they had back in the rental house.No, there was something different about their relationship now. Back then, she treated him as a younger brother, as family, but now, she treated him as a lover, as someone who would potentially spend the rest of her life with her."I'm glad you found happiness too, Clara. Yanny can hear and speak now. In the future, he'll be able to read and make friends normally like other children," said Serenity."Yeah, Yanny is my everything. I don't care how hard my life is as long as he can be happy," said Clara. She then smiled at Serenity and said, "You're not a mother yet, so you might not understand. When you become a mother, you'll know that a mother will sacrifice anything for her child!"Become a mother...?
"Who's that? Your goon?" The woman mocked as soon as she saw Serenity.Serenity frowned and turned to her best friend. "Lisa, what's going on?""Ignore her," said Lisa.The young woman instantly lashed out like a powder keg that was ignited, "What? You shameless b*tch! How dare you seduce my boyfriend! I bet if I hadn't caught you in the act, you would have stripped naked and jumped into his bed!"Lisa glared at her angrily, "Seduce your boyfriend? I wouldn't even look at a guy like him twice. Do you have tofu for a brain? Maybe the problem lies with your boyfriend and not with other people!""I saw it with my own eyes! How dare you deny it!" said the woman."What the hell did you even see?!" Lisa retorted indignantly. She pointed her finger at the cowering man. "I'm telling you, even if you gift-wrapped a man like that and delivered him to my bed, I still wouldn't want him. Besides, I have a boyfriend, and my boyfriend is much better than him. Why would I want him? Is he made of
While Serenity was going through the bail procedures for Lisa, Jackson called her. "You're at the police station?""Huh?" Serenity was surprised, but she soon figured out that the driver must have told him."Yeah, I am," she said, "Lisa ran into some trouble. I came here to bail her out.""She asked you to bail her out?" Jackson seemed to find it a bit funny, "Why didn't she ask Terry White? Isn't Terry White her boyfriend?""..." It was too complicated to explain. Besides, it concerned Lisa's privacy, so Serenity simply said, "She must have her reasons. I'm actually in the middle of handling the bail procedures, so I'll talk to you later!"Serenity ended the call and went back to the bail procedures.Jessica was still yelling at Lisa. She still believed that Lisa had seduced her boyfriend.Lisa was so mad that she cursed her out! Her boyfriend was Terry White, for goodness' sake! Even if he was only a temporary boyfriend, he still let her have her way with him! Why would she se
Gavin cowered and nodded, "Y-Yeah, Lisa... Lisa seduced me!"Lisa felt the urge to give him a big fat slap on the face!Serenity was worried that she would, so she quickly held her friend back and said, "I will hold you legally responsible for your words. If you're lying, that means you're slandering her. Should we go back inside to file a case?"Gavin shuddered and instantly shut his mouth.Meanwhile, Jessica was still yelling. Jackson gave her a nonchalant glance and said, "What a conceited woman. As if I don't know what kind of person my girlfriend is. Who are you to talk about her like that? Get out of my sight."Jessica's face twisted in rage. His words were like a huge slap to her face."I... I'm just reminding you not to get tricked," she argued.But Jackson could not be bothered listening to her. He instead turned to Lisa and said, "You had to come to the police station because of a person like that? I guess Terry White must not know about this. If he did, she wouldn't b
"..." Lisa had a helpless look on her face. She wished she could hide the fact that Terry White and her were dating so that her life would not be impacted too much when they eventually broke up.She did not even want to tell her parents about it if they had not found out by accident!"I... Ah, he's at work, so I don't want to bother him," Lisa could only give a random excuse."But you're okay with bothering Serenity?" asked Jackson.Lisa did not know what to say. Serenity quickly said, "I don't mind her bothering me." She then told Lisa, "If anything happens again, you have to come to me. You're my best friend."Lisa felt a warmth in her heart. She gave Serenity an affirmative answer while stealing a glance at Jackson Valor through the rearview mirror. Just now, he sounded like... he was jealous. She felt like she had become the object of envy for no apparent reason.But the problem was... was Jackson Valor really jealous of her? Because of Serenity? The thought made Lisa shudder
