"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
Serenity took the wedding dresses into the changing room. Lisa also went in with her to help her change.Meanwhile, in the resting area outside the changing room, Jackson and Terry White sat in silence.Terry observed Jackson. Honestly, he was really surprised that Jackson and Serenity would get married so soon."I heard you've been trying to help Ms. Lewis appeal her case lately," Terry broke the silence and attempted to start a conversation with Jackson."You're very well-informed," Jackson looked up and said."It's mainly because Lisa is concerned about Ms. Lewis' case, so I naturally paid more attention to it," said Terry, "I heard the appeal submitted by the law firm you appointed claimed that the real culprit is Yuri Volkov. Is that true?"Jackson narrowed his eyes and did not say anything. He merely stared at Terry with a cold glint in his eyes."I've done a bit of investigation into Miss Lewis' case myself. There's certainly the possibility of Yuri Volkov putting the bla
An angel...? Jackson's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Perhaps she really was like an angel to him.She pulled him out of the abyss when he had become so numb that he did not know what the meaning of existence was anymore.If it wasn't for her, he would just be living a meaningless life right now."Jack, what do you think?" asked Serenity. After she put on the dress in the changing room, she inspected herself in the mirror and thought she did not even look like herself anymore.Even though the wedding dress was not a formal wedding dress, it was so beautiful that it made her sigh. Perhaps, deep down in every girl's heart, there was a wedding dress complex.She remembered when she saw brides in wedding dresses when she was a child, she thought wedding dresses looked so beautiful. She wondered when she would be able to wear a wedding dress too. Would her Prince Charming be holding her hand?And now... she really had met her Prince Charming!Serenity stared at Jackson who had walked
