"Mommy?" Yanny only asked what’s wrong after they had climbed into a cab. He had no idea why Mommy would suddenly carry him away while they were shopping for a birthday present for Aunt Serene, but he had always been a well-behaved child and knew Mommy must have her reasons, so he stayed quiet this whole time."Just now, Mommy saw someone she didn't want to see, so we left in a hurry. We'll come back to buy a present for Auntie Serene some other time, okay?" said Clara.The little boy nodded before asking in a soft voice, "Is the person a bad guy?"Clara's nose suddenly got stuffy. When Yanny was younger, he used to ask his where Daddy was.She had always told him that Daddy was in heaven.She did not know when Yanny would truly comprehend what being in heaven meant.However, she did know that she could not tell him his father was only dozens of meters away from them a moment ago. She also could not tell him that he had already met his father, but his existence was never what h
Serenity hesitated at the hospital entrance, uncertain if she was making the right decision. Did she really want to uncover the truth? If her dreams really were lost memories, should she bury the memories or try to recover them? What would happen after she regained her memories? Would it complicate her relationship with Lucas and make Jack feel even more insecure?Maybe she should just let the memories stay buried and feign ignorance. She could seek other treatment for her headache.Perhaps if she kept her distance from Lucas and not let him trigger her memories from now on, she would no longer have headaches."Miss Lewis!" Suddenly, a woman's voice called out to Serenity, jolting her back to reality.She had unconsciously walked to Dr. Landale's office. The person who called out to her was the nurse who was with Dr. Landale yesterday."Miss Lewis, something came up for Dr. Landale this morning and she has to take some time off. We're really sorry," the nurse said apologetically
Her silence only made Lucas more convinced of his assumption. "So you really did forget something. Is it something related to me?"Serenity bit her lip. "Mr. Gomez, your imagination is far too rich. It's true that I came here for hypnotherapy, but not for the reason you said. The treatment is for some other problems that I have. As you know, I was imprisoned for three years, so I have mental health issues like anxiety, among other things."He looked at her intently, as if trying to discern the truth in her words. "Really? You have an anxiety disorder?" She returned his gaze. "And how do you know that I don't?"He suddenly leaned in closer, pressing his finely chiseled face close to hers. "Did you know that the words you said while holding onto my hand at the convention were exactly the same words that the little girl who saved me said when I was a child?"Like I said, I was just talking gibberish," she said with a straight face. "Gibberish?" he snorted. "You grabbed my hand and
Serenity stopped struggling. She took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "The person who saved you is Lynette. Isn't that the result of your own investigation? Why are you suddenly asking me that question? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"Her words doused him like cold water, causing his face to pale."If Lynette were here and heard you ask me that, how do you think she would feel?" Serenity asked.His bloodshot eyes were fixed on her. All the evidence he found had indeed pointed to Lynette Blossom.All the evidence told him that Lynette Blossom was the person he was looking for.Despite that, he could not shake the feeling that Serenity Lewis was the right one. Was it because of her appearance? Or was it because of the look he sometimes saw in her eyes?Even though the world had been cruel to her, she still held onto a trace of dignity. Her sense of justice simply... reminded him so much of the little girl!"Are you... really not her?" Such simple words, but it was a stru
"You're back. How did it go?" Jackson asked."Not bad," Serenity pondered for a bit before saying, "If I still get headaches after this, can you recommend another doctor to me?"His eyes flickered slightly as he replied, "Sure.""By the way, I never knew that you're interested in baking cakes. Why did you suddenly decide to learn it? How long have you been learning?" Serenity asked as she lowered her head to take a closer look at the cake Jackson had just decorated.It looked pretty good. At least to a layman like her, it looked similar to the cakes sold in bakeries."Mr. Valor is a fast learner. He quickly grasped the essentials after I taught him once," the pastry chef complimented Jackson."Alright, that's it for today. Thank you, chef," Jackson told the pastry chef.The chef nodded and left the kitchen.Now, Serenity and Jackson were the only people left in the spacious kitchen."What about you? Anything interesting happened at the hospital today?" he asked casually.Of c
He stared at her in silence, then smiled.His smile was as brilliant as a snowy mountain under the sun, so beautiful that she could not take her eyes off it."Serenity, I believe you," Jackson said.He was suspicious by nature and had never truly had faith in anything.But he wanted to believe what she said, that she would never let him down, that she would never betray him!Even though she hid what happened between her and Lucas from him... he would believe her one more time!He would believe what she said and believe nothing would happen between her and Lucas! He would also believe in himself, that he would not repeat his father's mistake!He bent down and kissed her.Unlike the gentle way she had kissed him, his kiss was overbearing, as if he wanted to take possession of all her sweetness.But at the same time, the kiss was also unbelievably tender.And that tenderness was reserved just for her!After the kiss ended, Serenity could barely stand. She blushed hard."What's
Her hands were cupped in his hands. The contrast between the two pairs of hands, one large and one small, were striking.His hands were beautiful. From the shape of his fingers, to the length, to the joints and nails, they all looked perfect.On the contrary, some of the joints on her hands looked unnatural, two of them particularly crooked. Her hands looked like the kind of hands that had gone through many years of manual labor. Upon closer inspection, one could even see some scars on her skin...Next to his hands, her hands looked ugly."Why are you suddenly grabbing my hands..." Serenity bit her lip slightly, wanting to pull her hands back.But he would not let her. "From now on, if there's anything that you want to do but can't because of your hands, I'll do it for you."She was stunned. Noticing the guilty look on his face, she realized something, so she smiled and said, "It's not your fault that I have bad hands. You don't have to feel guilty about it.When he saw the smil
"Who? Who's blacklisting me?" she asked fiercely.But when her agent told her the person's name, her face paled.Jackson Valor!The person who wanted to blacklist her was Jackson Valor!Jackson Valor had never been interested in the entertainment industry. He had never messed with any celebrity before. This was the first time!As for the reason... Jenny's mind drifted to the incident at the convention. She acted humble and apologized to Serenity, asking for Serenity's forgiveness, but Serenity refused to forgive her.After that, Jackson Valor said, "So be it."She expected Jackson Valor to do something, but she didn't think he would go so far as to blacklist her from the entertainment industry!No matter what, she was still Jackson Valor's sister-in-law in name!Even though Jackson Valor never truly loved Mira, the public still believed that the Valor family and the Hall family were close.If news of her being blacklisted by Jackson Valor spread, she would be completely embar
