Meanwhile, Serenity looked at Coles, feeling troubled. Coles was a different person than the one she had faced the other night before. "Ms. Lewis, accept it, please. I was wrong. I shouldn't have ignored you and let you stand aside for so long. I've always wanted to apologize to you in person, but I didn't know how to express my sincerity. I finally found something suitable as an apology gift. I don't know what to do if you don't accept it."Coles spoke in a tone that was downright humble, almost pleading. Serenity did not see what was in the box but figured it was expensive."There's no need to give me anything. Besides, Mr. Lexington, didn't you already send yellow roses to express your apology previously?" Serenity reminded. She did not understand why Coles had suddenly sent another batch of yellow roses and had even come here to apologize in person."Well… This is my sincerity, so please accept my apology." Coles desperately tried to push the box to Serenity. He needed her to
"Are you going to hit me before understanding the situation?" Serenity warned coldly."What else do I have to know? I’ve already caught you on the spot. You're really shameless! Coles already has me as his girlfriend. How dare you hit on him! What kind of dirty tricks did you use to seduce him?!" Caroline hissed spitefully."I'm not interested in your boyfriend!" Serenity sneered.Coles, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by the turn of events. Coles was lost and did not know what to do. Caroline had appeared so suddenly and interfered with his apology. Coles regretted picking someone like Caroline as his girlfriend. He should not have dated her for her looks!"Stop it!" Coles pulled Caroline over. "That's enough! Apologize to Ms. Lewis!""Apologize to her? Are you telling me to apologize to her?! A shameless woman like her?! How many times have you slept with her?!" Caroline roared. Her words became ruder, and it was also why she was frequently fighting with people.Coles panick
It was too late, however. Caroline's hand was already on Serenity's back. On the side was a pile of old computer parts that had been replaced not long ago. Somebody might get hurt and crash into that pile of computer parts.Everything happened so quickly. Just as Caroline was about to push Serenity to the side, a hand suddenly grabbed Serenity's arm and pulled her to safety. Caroline suddenly fell toward the wall, her back slamming against the wall. She even got kicked in her lower back—it hurt like hell."Who the hell just kicked me..." Caroline raised her head in wrath, but her breath caught in her throat just as she was about to continue yelling. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw who was there.'What? Prince Lucas?! God! What is he doing here? Why is Lucas hugging that shameless woman?!' Caroline's mind went blank. She blurted out without thinking, "Mr. Gomez, she's no good. She's just a mistress…" This time, before she could finish her sentence, someone slapped her.I
"Oh, sure!" Mr. Graham immediately agreed. Although Lucas had never introduced himself, Mr. Graham recognized him. He personally took him to a meeting room and instructed Serenity, "You stay here and have a nice chat with Mr. Gomez."Serenity felt a little speechless at Mr. Graham's enthusiasm.Mr. Graham left and closed the door, leaving Serenity and Lucas alone in the meeting room. An indescribable tension loomed in the air.Outside the meeting room, Liliana and the other colleagues were stunned. It was a surprising turn of events. It started with Coles' meeting with Serenity. Caroline soon arrived, catching Coles and Serenity in a so-called affair. Then, the whole situation had changed. Serenity was not Coles' affair partner. Instead, she seemed to have a close relationship with Prince Lucas from the entertainment industry.When Lucas appeared, Liliana was the only one who felt different. Lucas had happened to see Liliana giving Serenity a hard time once. He had been very prot
"I'll leave first if there's nothing else," Serenity said, heading toward the exit of the meeting room. Before she even touched the door handle, Lucas grabbed her hand."Serenity. Must you push me away like this?" Lucas spoke, his usually calm voice sounding a little anxious because of Serenity. Lucas felt a rare anxiety in him, a feeling he could not explain clearly.Serenity looked at the handsome face in a daze. Lucas' delicate features reminded her of a younger version of him.The young Lucas flashed before her eyes. The young Serenity had been exhausted from carrying the little boy in the dense forest. The little boy had said to her, "I'll be very nice to you. I'll buy you nice dresses and bring you to eat lots of good food. I'll protect you better than anyone else!"The young Serenity had not taken the boy's words seriously. After all, children were usually forgetful. Serenity forgot everything about Lucas after a high fever, let alone the memories with him. She never knew he
Her face would occasionally flash before his eyes. The memory of their meeting in the mountain frequently haunted his dreams. He remembered how he had carried her on his back—it was as if she was the little girl from back then."Do you still love Jackson?" Lucas muttered his question.Serenity chuckled and looked at Lucas with a ghost of a smile. "Does it really matter?"Jackson had told Serenity before, telling her not to fall in love with Lucas. Meanwhile, Lucas was asking Serenity if it was true that she no longer loved Jackson.What Jackson and Lucas wanted was just a result. They did not care what she really wanted—peace was all she ever wanted!Lucas stared blankly at Serenity. Her smile and voice were like invisible blades, piercing his heart with pain!***Serenity got off work in exhaustion. Too many things had happened at work. When she finally arrived at her neighborhood, she noticed a familiar-looking black car parked at the entrance. The black car had already attrac
"Well, I do. I know everything about you," Jackson said.Serenity chewed on her lips. "He came to look for me but didn't say anything," she explained. Jackson seemed to know everything going on around her. Was she under his surveillance?"Is that so?" Jackson murmured softly and approached Serenity. "I'm curious. Why didn't you tell him? You're the one who saved him as a kid."Serenity stiffened at his question.Jackson raised his hand, his finger gently brushing across her lips. "Tell me… why?" he asked in a low voice. For some reason, it sounded as beautiful as a violin.Serenity's nose was suddenly a little sore. 'Why? He's asking why?! Didn’t he know?!' Jackson was the reason. She loved him so much that she had tried to bury the memory even though she remembered it. Serenity did not say a word when Lynette took her place, claiming to have saved Lucas as a child. She did not want to upset Jackson, so she cut all ties with Lucas.It was just so ridiculous. Serenity thought Ja
Jackson regretted having Serenity over to cook dinner. He ordered, "Continue to rinse your hand with the cold water. I'll handle the soup.""You will?" Serenity was surprised."Why not?" Jackson asked in reply. He walked to the pot and opened the lid, looking at the soup inside. Then, he turned off the fire after adding a little seasoning and tasting the flavor with a small spoon.Jackson was so elegant and natural when he moved. Serenity thought she was watching some kind of gourmet show.As Jackson prepared the soup, his gaze occasionally flicked to her as if to check if she was rinsing her hand.Serenity rinsed her hand in the cold water for about 10 minutes. Her fingers were finally free from the cold water. It was still a little red, but nothing serious."It's still a little red," Jackson said, still frowning."It'll heal in two days," Serenity said. The next moment, Serenity froze. Jackson had taken her hand and put her finger in his mouth. He licked it gently to soothe
