"Okay, I'll ask Terry to check it out," replied Lisa. "How's Clara? Is her business doing well?" "I spoke to her this morning. She said business is slowly recovering. No one came to cause trouble anymore," Serenity informed Lisa. "That's great news!" Lisa was relieved to hear that.After dinner, Lisa drove Serenity home before heading to Terry's mansion."Are you feeling better?" Terry asked as he set aside his papers and walked over to Lisa. "Much better compared to yesterday," she replied. Terry frowned. Then she's still in pain. "How long until the pain goes away?" he inquired. Before he met her, he had never thought about how painful a woman's period was."Don't worry, it'll probably stop hurting tomorrow," Lisa answered. "Would you like me to rub your stomach again?" he asked. She certainly wouldn't mind. His stomach-rubbing skills were excellent!Lisa sat on the couch and got comfortable.Terry smiled when he saw that. He used the intercom to ask the maid to make

She came over to his house yesterday in order to watch him dance, but then her period came and she forgot about it.Terry raised an eyebrow, surprised that she still remembered. "You really want to see it?" he asked.Lisa eagerly nodded. "You don't need me to rub your stomach anymore?" he asked. "You can get back to rubbing my stomach after you dance. There's no conflict," she said with eyes that shone like stars. Terry sighed helplessly and stood up. He figured he had no choice but to satisfy her request.However... "From now on, you can't show interest in any other man, understand?" he said.Her expression betrayed a hint of guilt. After all... there were many male celebrities waiting for her to ogle at. However, under his intense stare, she spoke hastily, "I promise I'll only admire other men from an aesthetic point of view. I'll only have dirty thoughts about you," she said.He chuckled at her words. Ultimately, he complied with her wishes. He unbuttoned his collar and d

"You seem very familiar with Mr. Smith," she said. She found it surprising that a man like Lucas Gomez was acquainted with an elderly doctor in a small clinic."I've known him for a long time. When your cousin and I came down from the mountains when we were little, my leg was broken. Several doctors said that it would never heal completely. My mom then heard about Mr. Smith and took me to his clinic for treatment," Lucas explained. Serenity was shocked, "Your leg was broken?""Yeah. It took me three months to walk again," Lucas said.She didn't know he was suffering from that kind of injury back then. Did he get injured when he fell off the cliff? Serenity tried to recall what happened. She vaguely remembered that he was unable to walk after she pulled him up from the cliff. She remembered mocking him for being soft because he lived a pampered life, but his leg was actually broken. But... he never complained about his leg hurting once. He just kept apologizing to her while s

Was it because he had too many ex-girlfriends so she thought he wasn't serious about her?He still remembered that she used to mock him for having so many substitutes. She said that if he really missed someone, no matter how many substitutes he found, it was pointless.Come to think of it, wasn't he reaping what he sowed now?There had never been a woman like her who was out of his reach, yet would always appear in his mind and linger there.Even though there were times when he wanted to forget her, he had never really been able to.He would even make an enemy out of Jackson Valor for her!While he was lost in thought, a sudden painful groan came from the treatment room. Lucas sprang to his feet, sprinted to the treatment room and pushed the door open!Mr. Smith was poking a needle into the back of Serenity's hand, and she... Lucas could not move his eyes away from her face.Serenity's eyes were tightly closed and her eyebrows were furrowed. She was biting her lower lip hard

She had no idea how much time had passed before she heard Mr. Smith say, "It's done!" The intense pain on the back of her hand started subsiding. Serenity took a deep breath and opened her eyes.The first thing she saw was Lucas' arm.She realized that she had been grabbing onto it this whole time. "Sorry!" she quickly let go."Don't worry about it. I asked you to grab it," Lucas said, pulling his hand back. "Come again next week at the same time," Mr. Smith told Serenity, "Remember, avoid getting your hand wet and lifting heavy objects for 3 hours." "Got it." Serenity replied. After leaving Mr. Smith's clinic, Lucas offered to drive Serenity home."I... I'll just take the bus," Serenity declined his offer and turned around to leave.Lucas stopped her. "I'm just giving you a ride home. I'm not asking you to promise me anything. You don't have to avoid me like this.""I don't want to trouble you," she pushed his hand away, which made him frown and let out a muffled groan

Serenity looked up, and their eyes met. His eyes were like the eyes of a phoenix – narrow and deep with slightly raised tails. When those eyes stared at someone intently, they're capable of stirring the target's heart.For some reason, Serenity's nose felt a bit stuffy; it could be because he was the "Luke" from her childhood, or it could be because he wanted to share her pain.Before this, she had always endured her pain alone. This time, someone was there with her. "Don't be too good to me, Lucas. I'm not worth it," she murmured. She knew she couldn't repay his kindness. "That's up to me to decide," he replied. "Even if it hurts, I believe it's worth it."She stared at him in a daze. There was an inexplicable sensation in her chest.After driving Serenity home, Lucas gazed at her back as she vanished from sight before lowering his head to inspect the band-aid on his right arm. "Serenity..." he whispered her name. Then, he pressed his lips tenderly on the band-aid.No woma

The executives waited anxiously as Jackson stared at his phone.After 10 minutes, Jackson finally put his phone down. He ordered the executives to continue the meeting. The executives proceeded with caution, carefully choosing their words and speaking softly to avoid irritating the CEO.Connor grimaced seeing his boss' scowl. He saw what was on Mr. Valor's phone just now, and that made him even more scared.Why did the two bodyguards send Mr. Valor pictures of Lucas Gomez and Serenity Lewis together? Didn't they know that it would make Mr. Valor really upset?Even if they had to send pictures, they should have sent normal ones.They just had to send photos of Lucas Gomez and Serenity Lewis standing very close together. In one of those photos, Serenity was even holding Lucas' arm and putting a band-aid on for him.The photos were taken beautifully, especially the one where Serenity and Lucas were staring into each other's eyes. It looked like a scene straight out of a movie!Co

Clara was busy working at the food stall when she saw Serenity arrive. She greeted Serenity warmly, asking, "What brings you here?" "I have no plans tonight, so I came to see how you're doing," Serenity replied, "Any troublemakers recently?" Clara's face fell slightly. Noticing that, Serenity asked, "There are more of them?""A few more. I already lodged a police report, and the police promised to patrol here in the next couple of days, but..."Before Clara had even finished, several rowdy individuals approached the food stall menacingly and harassed the customers until the customers left. They then spread out and sat down, one person to each table, until all the tables were occupied. Then, they ordered the cheapest item on the menu.Clara had only prepared four folding tables, so there were now no vacant tables left.When new customers came and asked to share a table, the thugs would scare them away with loud and unpleasant voices.Serenity scowled. "They do this every day?"
