Master Zack remained silent. He raised this child with his own hands, but he now had no way to control the child anymore.He had grown old while the child had become stronger and stronger."You're becoming... more and more like your father." Master Zack looked at his grandson with complicated eyes. Years back, his son had also told him that he must marry that woman even if he had to give up his status as the young master of the Valor family.As if everything the Valor family owned was worthless to him compared to that woman.Jackson pursed his lips.Master Zack added, "One day, you'll regret it, just like your father regretted his decision..." Unfortunately, Jude regretted it too late and lost his life because of that."I won't regret it," Jackson said with absolute certainty. "I will never regret falling in love with Serenity and marrying her.""Really? Haha..." Master Zack suddenly laughed, "That's easier said than done. It's a pity that I've grown old and already have one foo

"But what?" He asked with raised eyebrows."There are a lot of scars on my body, so the wedding dress' design has to be conservative. If I reveal too much, the scars will show," she said, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed.His heart twisted in pain upon hearing that. "That's alright. I wouldn't want my bride to wear a wedding dress that's too revealing anyway." Jackson smiled and hugged Serenity with both hands. "I wouldn't even mind if the wedding dress covered you up from head to toe. I'm a possessive man, you know, so I don't want other men to see even an inch of your skin if I can help it."This was something that embarrassed her at first, but he easily resolved her embarrassment."Jack, thank you," she murmured."I'm not kidding. I'm not just saying that to comfort you," said Jackson, He brushed his lips gently against Serenity's cheek. "To me, even though there are scars on your skin, your body is still so beautiful that it makes me want to possess your everything. If I

She could imagine how terrified he must have felt. He was a child who was alone in a mansion. Even though he had family, there was no love, and he had to constantly worry about being replaced.The only way he could live was to keep being strong. He could not even show a little bit of weakness.Because showing weakness meant the possibility of being discarded."Was it hard for you when you were young?" Serenity asked in a soft voice. Her heart ached for the man in front of her.In the past, when she heard others talking about him, he sounded like a high and mighty man who had limitless wealth and could have anything he wanted. He was simply a born winner.But now, she realized that there was no such thing as a born winner. He had to go through a lot of hardships to obtain what he had now.He had to carry a burden at a young age that was far beyond what a child should carry."It was alright," Jackson replied, his slender fingers gently brushing over her almond-shaped eyes that wer

Serenity took the wedding dresses into the changing room. Lisa also went in with her to help her change.Meanwhile, in the resting area outside the changing room, Jackson and Terry White sat in silence.Terry observed Jackson. Honestly, he was really surprised that Jackson and Serenity would get married so soon."I heard you've been trying to help Ms. Lewis appeal her case lately," Terry broke the silence and attempted to start a conversation with Jackson."You're very well-informed," Jackson looked up and said."It's mainly because Lisa is concerned about Ms. Lewis' case, so I naturally paid more attention to it," said Terry, "I heard the appeal submitted by the law firm you appointed claimed that the real culprit is Yuri Volkov. Is that true?"Jackson narrowed his eyes and did not say anything. He merely stared at Terry with a cold glint in his eyes."I've done a bit of investigation into Miss Lewis' case myself. There's certainly the possibility of Yuri Volkov putting the bla

An angel...? Jackson's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Perhaps she really was like an angel to him.She pulled him out of the abyss when he had become so numb that he did not know what the meaning of existence was anymore.If it wasn't for her, he would just be living a meaningless life right now."Jack, what do you think?" asked Serenity. After she put on the dress in the changing room, she inspected herself in the mirror and thought she did not even look like herself anymore.Even though the wedding dress was not a formal wedding dress, it was so beautiful that it made her sigh. Perhaps, deep down in every girl's heart, there was a wedding dress complex.She remembered when she saw brides in wedding dresses when she was a child, she thought wedding dresses looked so beautiful. She wondered when she would be able to wear a wedding dress too. Would her Prince Charming be holding her hand?And now... she really had met her Prince Charming!Serenity stared at Jackson who had walked

"Too revealing?" Lisa checked the dress she was wearing. It was just a normal strapless gown. The skirt was short in the front and long in the back. The short part was above her knees and the long part reached her ankles.Because the dress was well made, it accentuated her figure. The waistline was tightened just right.The flattering effect of the dress was something that all women dreamed of!Lisa asked Terry, "Don't you think the dress makes my boobs look bigger? I feel like the dress is really flattering."Terry was speechless. Was she really a woman? She was actually discussing her boob size with him. Was she even treating him as a man at all?Even though they were currently a couple in name, he knew that she did not really see him as her boyfriend at all!To her, he was just someone who came to her for revenge, right?"If you really make this the bridesmaid's dress, I’ll make sure that you won't make it to the wedding!" Terry said with a scoff."You--" Lisa glared at Terr

Granny was discharged from the hospital not long ago and went home to recuperate. Serenity thought Granny was gradually getting better, but... How could this happen?The call just now was made by a nurse from a hospital. The nurse called Serenity at Granny's behest. She told Serenity that Granny was in the hospital and was on her deathbed. She would constantly drift in and out of unconsciousness. Her last wish was to see Serenity before she died!According to the nurse, Granny had been hospitalized for 3 days, but none of Serenity's relatives had called to inform her!If the nurse had not called her today, would she have missed the chance to see her grandmother one last time?No, this was definitely not the last time she would see Granny. Serenity kept telling herself that. However, her hands that were holding the phone kept trembling harder and harder.Suddenly, a hand touched her trembling hands, and a voice rang in her ears, "Don't be afraid. Whatever the situation, we'll face

Granny did not finish her last sentence. Her eyes and mouth were still open, but she was no longer breathing.Serenity stared at Granny blankly. Tears rolled down her cheeks.The doctors and nurses certified Granny's time of death and told Serenity, "Our condolences, Ms. Lewis."Condolences... The only family she had who loved her was no longer alive.Serenity let out a wail and cried next to her grandmother's body, which was still warm.Granny's body was still warm, but she was no longer breathing and her heart was no longer beating. From now on... Serenity could no longer hear her grandmother's voice, no longer see her grandmother's smile...Jackson stood quietly by Serenity's side as she cried.He knew that she needed time to grieve. Granny had always been Serenity's spiritual pillar. She was the one who protected Serenity after Serenity lost her mother.From now on, Serenity would never see her again.He understood the pain of losing a loved one. His father froze to death

Serenity's Uncle Francis, Uncle Desmond and Aunt Theresa were notified by the hospital, but they only arrived at the hospital two hours after her grandmother's death.Meanwhile, Serenity's grandfather, Henry Walker, did not even come to the hospital. His excuse was that he wasn't in good health and he was worried that he would get too emotional when he saw Granny's corpse, making his health worse.Serenity wondered how Granny would feel if she knew that.The first reaction of Francis, Desmond and Theresa upon seeing Serenity was to tell her that she must pay her share of the cost of Granny’s grave and funeral!Serenity was so mad. Granny had just passed away, but all they were concerned about was money!"Money, huh?" Jackson, who had been standing at the side without saying anything, finally spoke.Only then did Serenity's uncles and aunt notice there was someone else in the ward. Because they came inside in a hurry and their niece was wearing a very conspicuous wedding gown, the

Francis said fiercely, "Young man, you were the reason we were in police custody for so long, weren't you? If you don't apologize and compensate us immediately, we'll make you regret it.""I haven't met anyone who dares to demand an apology from me before," Jackson said lazily.Serenity was puzzled. What's happening? His uncles were scared of Jackson at first, but after her aunt said those things, their attitudes changed completely.Was it because Theresa's daughter, her cousin Lynette, had found some kind of backer?But Serenity remembered that her cousin Lynette and her husband were just ironmongers who had a little store in town. They had average income, about the same as most of the town residents. What kind of backer could she have found?"Fine. You won't apologize? Even if you get on your knees and beg us for forgiveness in the future, we won't let you off easy now!" Francis remarked fiercely.Theresa watched them leisurely as if she was watching a show. "Serenity, listen t
