Chapter 1016
Serenity had been coming home alone lately, which was fine. On this day, however, Mr. Gomez was the one who had sent her back. The two were staring at each other, and the way he was holding his hand… They looked like a couple!Connor hoped Lucas and Serenity would quickly separate. God knows what Mr. Valor would do if they stayed like that!***Serenity walked home with a box of pizza in her hand. She took the key out of her bag and unlocked the door. Just as she was about to get the door and walk in, another hand pushed the door open one step ahead of her.Startled, Serenity turned around to find Jackson standing behind her. "When did you come?" Serenity asked in surprise.Jackson was wearing a thin and light-colored sweater and black trousers. He looked like a charming prince with that handsome face of his, but his grim face and the strange look in his eyes… There was a hint of struggle, displeasure, as well as… menace.Serenity instinctively felt danger. Jackson seemed very

He held her hand under the faucet and scrubbed her hands with soap before rinsing them with water again and again, almost as if he was desperate to completely wash away all traces of Lucas's touch, scent, and warmth… from her hands.Serenity tried hard to pull her hands away but to no avail. She had no idea how long Jackson kept scrubbing her hands until they started to sting, and she told him, "That's enough, Jackson! What exactly are you trying to do?!"Only then did he turn off the tap. He picked up a hand towel nearby and gently wiped her hands dry, saying, "Don't ever let Lucas touch your hands again."When he thought of what had happened at the entrance of the apartment complex, he was so tortured by the jealousy that rose up inside him that it was almost unbearable.He was so afraid… so afraid that she would really fall in love with Lucas Gomez!"Also," he added, "don't ever say anything that will anger me again."Serenity was momentarily taken aback, but she then smiled w

Serenity stared at the man in front of her. What could he possibly mean when he said that?!"If you say that you won't love me anymore because we’ve already broken up," he continued, "then what if… we start dating again, just like we did before?"All his life, he had never changed his mind about any decision that he had made, but this time, he was willing to walk back on his decision to make a clean break with Serenity, an act that was as humiliating as slapping his own face, and he was willing to do all this because of her alone! All because he simply could not endure the thought that she would not love him anymore, that she would one day truly forget him!But that only made Serenity burst out in laughter. She laughed so hard that even her nose turned red and tears streamed down her face. Back then, Jackson had so nonchalantly told her he wanted to break up with her on her birthday, and it felt as if she had been dragged down from heaven to the depths of hell, yet now, he was telli

He thought of the injustice and torture that she had had to endure in the past. The things she had gone through would have broken anyone else's spirit a long time ago!Yet Serenity had still stayed strong. She was still working hard for her survival and her future. Even though her life had been completely derailed when she was unjustly imprisoned, she still persisted and was willing to start all over again now.For a woman who seemed so delicate and slender, she was, in fact, unimaginably strong, far stronger than most people he knew.For this reason, she reminded him of the girl he knew when he was a young boy… he even thought how great it would be if Serenity was the girl he was looking for instead of Lynette!But finding Lynette had made him realize that when it was all said and done, fantasy and reality were two separate things, and that people changed.The little girl he had used to know was full of a sense of justice and would stop at nothing to do the right thing and help o

Lynette was rendered speechless. Embarrassment was written all over her face. Lucas's words left her clueless on how to react."I… But I was…""Lynette," Lucas interrupted, "I owe you for saving my life, so I'll gladly help you and give you a better life, but Serenity is the woman I love, so if she needs my help to improve her circumstances, nothing would make me happier than to help her!"Lynette's heart almost burst with a wave of jealousy! What exactly was so special about Serenity, anyway?! How could someone like her deserve such unflinching love from Lucas?!"But she doesn't love you at all!" Lynette reminded Lucas, unwilling to let it go. "Don't you mind it at all?! She said it herself in the recording!"The next moment, Lynette felt suffocated, and a gust of cold air rushed up from her feet when those shrewd eyes of his stared dead straight into hers."Lynette," he said coldly, "I hope that you will never play this kind of trick on me again, understood?"Lynette felt as i
Chapter 1021
Clara then gently coaxed her son to sleep, and in no time at all, Yanny drifted off into slumber. "I hope the other kids don't make fun of him at kindergarten," Clara murmured softly."No one would dare!" Lisa quickly assured her, confident that some kindergarten kids were not too much for her to deal with. "I'll make sure they learn their lesson if they ever tried!"Clara chuckled. Sometimes, she envied Lisa's boldness, which reminded her of her past self–so confident and fearless. But after going through so much in her life, Clara knew that there was no way she could go back to being that way.She then said, "I'm counting on you for the custody case, Serenity.""I've already brought it up at my office," Serenity assured her, "and Mr. Graham promised he'd help when the time comes, so don't worry about it."Clara nodded. As she thought about it, she was still quite surprised that Wilson had chosen the court in Solaria to hear the case. She had assumed that he would get the case

Lisa looked around the area and noticed that there were many other food stalls nearby, and there was a pretty heavy traffic of people coming and going here as well."You guys haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll fry up some noodles for you, okay? Then you can have a taste of my cooking skills!""Great!" Lisa cried in joy. When she thought of it, she realized that she had never tried Clara's cooking before!"What about you?" Serenity asked Clara with concern. "You haven't had dinner either, have you?""I can just grab a bite later," Clara smiled. "I've got my own food stall, after all! There's no way I'll let myself starve!"After that, Clara quickly fried up some noodles and served it up for Serenity and Lisa. The two sat down at a small table and proceeded to dig in. As they ate, they sang praises of how good the food was."It's a million times better than my mom's cooking!" cried Lisa."Is your mom still the one cooking at home?" Serenity asked."Of course, she is! She has

Nevertheless, Clara hastily stepped forward and apologized in an attempt to appease those men, offering, "Let me replace your dishes with fresh ones, and I promise you a free meal the next time you visit my stall. Is that okay?""You think you can get rid of us that easily?! You've got flies in your food! What if we get ill and get hospitalized? What are you going to do with the bills, then? Besides, we're not eating your disgusting food again even if it's free!""Yeah! Just shut up and pay us!""Exactly! Pay us or don't even dream of doing business here again!"The three men kept talking in turns. One of them even managed to produce a dead fly and dangled it in front of Clara, almost as if he was trying to show her that they had solid proof.By then, all the other customers had stopped eating and began watching the interesting scene unfolding in front of them.Clara knew, of course, that the men were trying to blackmail her, but she had no way to prove that the men had planted t
