All Chapters of Second chance at happiness: Chapter 241 - Chapter 247

Mira checked Jack a million times, asking him repeatedly if he was hurt once they entered the carriage; Each time, Jack patiently answered that he wasn't hurt and that he was fine, while indulging Mira to check his hands and feet for injuries with a doting gaze.Both Aglaya and Katherine had a teasing smile on their faces as they watched Mira who was confident a few minutes ago, showing her true colours without a second thought.However, once inside the carriage, both Cornelius and Baldwin kept looking at Jack with a complicated gaze; they both opened and closed their mouths awkwardly for a long time, making both Jack and Mira uncomfortable, before Cornelius managed to ask “Son, where did you learn that move of yours?”It would be a lie if they said that they weren't surprised by Jack's fighting skills but what shocked them to their core was the move they saw.... the one they had not seen executed to perfection for more than a decade... it looked like they were seeing someone else thro
