Lately, he had always been spending the night sleeping in the same bed with her in this room. Although strictly speaking they did nothing at all the whole night, as time went on, it had become a habit for both of them to fall asleep together without them even realizing it.Because she had to keep the lights on while sleeping, Serenity would gently hint, "I always need the light to be on when I'm sleeping and you're probably not used to it. Why don't you just go sleep in your own room instead?"But the only reply she got was, "I just want to sleep with you, Sis. I don't mind it even if the lights are on."And so, the rest of what she had in mind remained unsaid."Are you going to bed now?" Jackson asked when he saw her heading toward the bed."Uh-huh," she replied, blushing slightly.She then lifted the blanket and prepared to climb into bed when Jackson suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tight, burying his face against her body. He was acting just like a sp

"But even if Lucas really wants to snatch you away from me," Jackson asked in a whispering voice, "he still won't get what he wants, right? Because I'm the man you like the most, and I'm also the man you're destined to fall in love with one day, right?"His warm breath tickled her face, and soon after she heard his voice, his kiss quickly followed as it landed gently on her lips.He would never let anyone take her away from him. She was his and his alone!*** When Serenity woke up the next day, Jackson had already gone to work. So, after eating her breakfast, she went straight to preparing his lunch.Both the lunch box and the cooking ingredients were already there for her in the kitchen of the Valor Residence. In fact, even the cook was there by her side, and he had been ordered to give Serenity any assistance or help that she might need.When the lunch was finally prepared, even Serenity felt that her cooking skills had improved to a higher level. So, with the lunchbox in tow,

But it was precisely because she could comprehend the conversation that she was now feeling even more embarrassed. In the end, it was Jackson who confirmed their suspicions with a brief, "It's her.""Oh? So what's going on between the two of you, Jackson? Are you guys lovers?"Because these people were foreigners, they were much more direct in their manner of speaking. Had it been Jackson's Solarian employees, they would never even dare to think of asking him such a blunt and personal question.Serenity then heard Jackson reply in French, "She is the woman that I love the most."In that instant, she felt as if her heart had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand that made even the beating of the heart difficult. When the meeting was finally over, Jackson walked over to Serenity's side and asked her, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"She hastily answered, "N-Nothing..."But that only made him hold her face and study her blushing face intently, asking her, "Is it beca

"Yanny's surgery went well!" Serenity heard Clara's voice say from the other end of the line. "The doctor said he'd need about two days to get used to it and then he'll be able to start the training to recognize sounds and voices.""That's great!" cried Serenity with joy. "I'll come over and visit Yanny this afternoon, then."She then asked Clara where Yanny's hospital ward was and ended the call."Was that about the deaf kid?" Jackson asked."Yeah," she replied. "Yanny's operation went well, and since I'm free in the afternoon, I think I'll go visit him later.""I'll go with you, then," said Jackson."Go with me?" Serenity's eyes widened with surprise. "But... don't you still need to work?""I'll just let my secretary postpone my appointments this afternoon. There's nothing urgent, anyway."Although he had said that, Serenity could guess that as the CEO of such a large corporate group, there would be very few matters in his work that were not urgent."What's wrong? Don't you

Sometimes, she even could not help wondering if she really was that important a person to Jackson. They had only known each other for half a year, so could his feelings for her really have developed that far?But it did not look like he had any reason to lie to her either since she was currently a total nobody. Lying to her would not benefit him at all, would it?"Will you, Sis?"His magnetic voice buzzed with undeniable desire as he asked her the same question for the third time."Well... if I have the time to do it, I'll try my best to cook for you more often."When she regained her composure, she could still feel her heart beating violently in her chest."Good," he said, smiling faintly.Serenity lowered her head hastily and cleaned up the lunchboxes on the table. Just as she was about to close the lid of the lunchbox, she suddenly let out a cry and recoiled her finger before gasping in pain."What's wrong?" he asked with urgent concern."It's nothing," she replied. "I just

After a while, Jackson was finally done trimming Serenity's nails under her instruction and guidance.The first thing she felt was exhaustion. It would have been much simpler and easier if she could have just trimmed her nails herself. Still, it looked like Jackson was having fun trimming her nails. Once he was done with one finger, he began scrutinizing the rest of her fingernails and started to trim all of them too.He even seemed disappointed when he was done, almost as if he wished it was not over so soon. "When your nails get longer again," he told her, "let me help you trim them again, okay?""..."Serenity was left speechless and unable to react. Because it was still noon, it would have been too early to go to the hospital to visit Yanny now, so Jackson returned to his desk and settled the remaining work he had for the day while Serenity picked up her phone and began scrolling through the news.Suddenly, a trending headline caught her eye. It was an article about her si

She... she had actually fallen asleep!“Are you awake? Would you like to rest a little longer?” Jackson’s voice sounded. Startled, Serenity looked up at him. “I... I fell asleep. Why didn’t you wake me up?” “You were sleeping soundly, so I thought I’d let you sleep a little longer,” he replied. “But I promised I’d go visit Yanny. I’ve overslept now...” As she spoke, Serenity picked up her phone and checked the time. Thankfully, it wasn’t 3 pm yet, but she couldn’t afford to wait around any longer before heading to the hospital. “You’ve got enough time for a trip to the hospital. I’ll come with you,” said Jackson as he put on his jacket. He then walked up to her side. Serenity nodded. She suddenly remembered that her hair was in a mess, so she reached up and pulled off the elastic hairband. She then grabbed a bunch of her hair and tied it up into a new ponytail. The whole process took only 5 or 6 seconds. Jackson was a little surprised by the speed of her movements. “Have y

Back then, she would follow Wilson around at the beginning of their relationship. However, his family had little to no business dealings with the Valors, so she had never seen Jackson before. This was why she was surprised to bump into him two days in a row. What’s more, Serenity would be there whenever they met.Clara remembered Jackson’s warning from before. Her gaze was filled with mixed emotions as she looked at Serenity. To be loved by such a man, Clara wondered if it was a blessing or a curse. In any case, she just wanted Serenity to be happy. “Ah, I forgot to buy something. Yanny told me he wanted to try pomegranates while he was in the hospital,” Serenity said as she hastily grabbed her purse.Of course, Yanny hadn’t literally told her about it. Instead, he had conveyed his wish through sign language. “Oh, you don’t have to do that! You’ve bought him toys, and that’s enough. I’ll get him the pomegranates,” said Clara hastily. “It’s fine, it won’t take too long. Ther

To be honest... she had a feeling that Serenity was the person behind all this. Did she ask for Jackson’s help? Was that why they were so lucky?!Clara’s thoughts were interrupted when Serenity returned to the ward with a bag of pomegranates. “If the doctor’s okay with this, let Yanny have them when he wakes up,” she said with a beaming smile. “Thank you, Serenity,” said Clara as tears began welling up in her eyes.“Come on, it’s only a bag of fruits,” said Serenity, who assumed she was tearing up because she was worried about Yanny’s condition. “His operation was completed successfully, and now, it’s just a matter of him getting used to the cochlear implant. He’s no longer under any risk, so you don’t have to worry that much. I’m sure he’ll recover soon.” “Yeah, I hope so too,” replied Clara with a nod. Back then, she used to think of herself as Serenity’s benefactor. She had been willing to offer her a job when the latter was struggling. Oh, how the tables had turned!If it

“Are you sure you want to come here?” asked Serenity in disbelief.“Is there anything wrong with this place?” Jackson replied with another question. “Didn’t you bring me to a night market before? I think they’re pretty similar.” “But that was when I had no idea who you were.” Honestly, had she known Jackson’s true identity, she never would have brought him clothes shopping at the night market. “Why does that matter? Whether in the past or in the future, I’ll always be your Jack,” he said with a serious look on his face. Ugh... those eyes were the ultimate killer move for her! “Fine... if you say so.” Serenity pursed her lips and walked along the stalls with Jackson. Back in college, she would always hang out with her classmates at the market. After she had started working, she naturally came here less often. When she was released from prison, she struggled to feed and clothe herself, so shopping here was out of the question. It was around sunset when they came to the nig
