Chapter 856

"I-I really like you. I know I'm not good enough. I can't give you a luxurious life, but we can have a good and steady life together. I'll do everything I can to keep you safe. You said we can't develop a relationship, but you never gave it a try. How would you know?" Peter was stammering, so anxious yet so earnest.

Serenity's nose felt a bit sour. She never knew Peter liked her this much. Not only that, he always respected her no matter how miserable she was.

Serenity did not push Peter away. They shared a warm hug, so heartwarming she hoped Peter would meet a woman who truly loved him one day!

"Peter, thank you. Even if you hold me like this now, I still don't feel a thing. Do you think there's any point in trying?" Serenity said, listening to Peter's silent breathing. His silence was the best reply.

In a black car parked not far away, a man inside was looking at Serenity. When he saw Serenity and Peter hugging, his hands that were resting on his legs clenched into fists.
