Did this man really belong to her? Serenity failed to realize that she had said her thoughts aloud, because a moment later, she heard him say, “Yes, I am yours.” His voice was as beautiful as the sound of nature. Her lips instinctively made their way toward his. If he belonged to her, then... she should be able to kiss him whenever she wanted to! ***In the bar, the woman was still haunted by a lingering fear following her run-in with Jackson. That man... just who was he? To have bodyguards employed, he was no average Joe. While he was carrying his drunk girlfriend away, she noticed the wristwatch he was wearing and immediately recognized that it was a limited edition from a major luxury brand. If she recalled correctly, they had only made three of these across the world, and they cost... tens of millions of dollars each!She must’ve made a mistake, or maybe that man was just wearing a knockoff.But... what if he was wearing the real thing?! The thought of that possibili
He grabbed her hands and said while breathing heavily, "Serenity, t-that's enough..."Serenity blinked like a cute little animal, her eyes innocent and confused.It's enough? But she thought it's not enough... it's far from enough!She wanted him so badly! She wanted him to stay at her side forever. With him by her side, she would never be afraid anymore!"Jack..." she mumbled as her hands unsteadily caressed his cheeks. A few moments later, her drunken eyes finally managed to focus on his face. "You're... *burp*... so handsome."His exquisite eyebrows and eyes looked too pretty to be real, like they were a painting.Was this man really her boyfriend? He's actually... going to marry her?"I've seen photos of... Mira Hall before. She's really beautiful... You two... looked good together. The articles back then said... you were meant for each other..." she kept mumbling, "Did you... love her? Why didn't you... investigate the truth... when she died?"Her words made his body turn
"Serenity, forgive me. No matter what, you must forgive me, okay?"He could only beg her like this when she was asleep because he simply did not have the courage to say those words to her face.After changing her clothes, he covered her up with a thin blanket and was about to get up when her fingers suddenly grabbed his sleeve. With hazy eyes, she said, "Jack, I forgive you..."He was shaken and stared at her in astonishment. Did she have any idea what she was saying?The corners of her lips were slightly raised. She seemed to be smiling. However, her eyes were still red because she cried earlier, which was a stark contrast to her smile. "I... don't know what you want me to forgive you for, but I forgive you. I'll forgive you for anything... because... you're Jack..."After that, she closed her eyes again and went back to sleep.Jackson stared at the woman before him in a daze. After a while, he bent down and kissed her forehead."That's right, I'm Jack, your Jack..." he murmure
She quickly rinsed her mouth, then asked him with a faint blush on her cheeks, "For real?""Why would I lie?" he asked.She hesitated and tried to recall what happened in the bar last evening. Yes, that strange woman acted like she was very interested in him.Therefore, Serenity got mad. She didn't like the idea of another woman flirting with him like that. Then, she... Well, for the life of her, she couldn't remember what happened after that, but he probably wouldn't make something like that up.She probably did do all that."But it kinda made me happy," said Jackson, "You gave me a rare glimpse of your possessive side yesterday. I like how you announced to another woman that I was yours."The corners of his lips curled up. Even his beautiful eyes were smiling.His smiling face left Serenity in a daze. It made the situation less awkward.After washing up, Serenity drank the hangover soup and felt a little better.After breakfast, Jackson told Serenity, "By the way, I'll ask C
When Jackson was little, he had to tread carefully. This old man held Jackson's fate in his hands.When Jackson could finally control his own destiny, he realized that the old man had already grown old.Although they were grandparent and grandchild in name, in reality, there was not much kinship between them other than the blood that connected them."I'm going to marry Serenity." Jackson's clear and cold voice broke the silence in the hospital ward. His tone made it clear that he was merely informing Master Zack of the decision, not asking for his permission."Marry her?" Master Zack chuckled, "That woman is not worthy.""I'll be the one to decide whether she's worthy or not," Jackson retorted coldly.Master Zack snorted. "I heard you're currently trying to appeal her case?"Jackson pursed his lips tight. He knew the old man had people who would investigate these things for him. Although the old man was staying in the hospital, he knew what's happening outside."Does that woma
Master Zack remained silent. He raised this child with his own hands, but he now had no way to control the child anymore.He had grown old while the child had become stronger and stronger."You're becoming... more and more like your father." Master Zack looked at his grandson with complicated eyes. Years back, his son had also told him that he must marry that woman even if he had to give up his status as the young master of the Valor family.As if everything the Valor family owned was worthless to him compared to that woman.Jackson pursed his lips.Master Zack added, "One day, you'll regret it, just like your father regretted his decision..." Unfortunately, Jude regretted it too late and lost his life because of that."I won't regret it," Jackson said with absolute certainty. "I will never regret falling in love with Serenity and marrying her.""Really? Haha..." Master Zack suddenly laughed, "That's easier said than done. It's a pity that I've grown old and already have one foo
"But what?" He asked with raised eyebrows."There are a lot of scars on my body, so the wedding dress' design has to be conservative. If I reveal too much, the scars will show," she said, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed.His heart twisted in pain upon hearing that. "That's alright. I wouldn't want my bride to wear a wedding dress that's too revealing anyway." Jackson smiled and hugged Serenity with both hands. "I wouldn't even mind if the wedding dress covered you up from head to toe. I'm a possessive man, you know, so I don't want other men to see even an inch of your skin if I can help it."This was something that embarrassed her at first, but he easily resolved her embarrassment."Jack, thank you," she murmured."I'm not kidding. I'm not just saying that to comfort you," said Jackson, He brushed his lips gently against Serenity's cheek. "To me, even though there are scars on your skin, your body is still so beautiful that it makes me want to possess your everything. If I
She could imagine how terrified he must have felt. He was a child who was alone in a mansion. Even though he had family, there was no love, and he had to constantly worry about being replaced.The only way he could live was to keep being strong. He could not even show a little bit of weakness.Because showing weakness meant the possibility of being discarded."Was it hard for you when you were young?" Serenity asked in a soft voice. Her heart ached for the man in front of her.In the past, when she heard others talking about him, he sounded like a high and mighty man who had limitless wealth and could have anything he wanted. He was simply a born winner.But now, she realized that there was no such thing as a born winner. He had to go through a lot of hardships to obtain what he had now.He had to carry a burden at a young age that was far beyond what a child should carry."It was alright," Jackson replied, his slender fingers gently brushing over her almond-shaped eyes that wer
