Chapter 1220
The diffuse light from the lamp illuminated his face, softening the ragged coldness of his handsome face and adding some warmth to his countenance.Warmth… The thought filled her with bitterness. Was there any warmth left for her in his heart after all that had happened now? The only reason why he chose to marry her was because she was pregnant with his child, anyway!"You're back," he said, putting the book in his hand aside on the coffee table. "Did you see Lisa at the hospital?""Yeah," she answered, her gaze falling on the book on the coffee table. She nearly choked on her own saliva when she noticed its title–Keeping a Good Mood Every Day Through Pregnancy! It was most likely a book that aimed to guide expectant mothers through their pregnancy, and Jackson… was reading this book?!This definitely surprised Serenity."I asked the servants to cook up some congee for you," he said while instructing a servant to go get Serenity her meal. "You should hurry up and eat something s

It sounded like he was asking himself the question.She would never know how anxious he was when he asked her if she regretted her decision. In fact, he was so anxious that his heart stopped beating and he even stopped breathing.As Serenity's whole body trembled, she heard his voice continuing to say, "I won't allow you to regret it this time, Serenity, and I won't even give you the chance to regret it. From today onward, you can only be my wife and no one else's!"Serenity took a deep breath and looked up into his eyes before telling him in a determined voice, "I'll never regret it!"After all, it was too late for her to regret anything now.— She was arranged to sleep in the same bedroom as she did before. Jackson's bedroom was right next to hers, and there was a door connecting the two rooms, making it easier to move between them.The familiar room filled her with a thousand conflicted feelings. All the furnishings were exactly the same as they were before–even the clothes

Later that night, she had a good night's sleep in her old room, and from tomorrow onward, she would be sleeping with him in his room.Jackson sat by her bed and watched her as she slept. The silvery moonlight streamed through the curtain and illuminated his outline, making him look like a marble statue–majestically handsome, albeit stained with a tinge of melancholy, almost as if he was keeping a million things that were troubling his mind hidden under his brows.It was a long time before his eyelashes trembled as his gaze fell on the back of her right hand. The look in his eyes was solemn, yet at the same time, filled with deep yearning.He murmured, "Do you know how much I love you, Serenity?"No matter how much he denied it, he still could not lie to himself about his true feelings for her. The truth was that he had always been… in love with her passionately.—Serenity thought she would find it hard to fall asleep the first night she returned to the Valor Residence, but it tu

Suddenly, Jackson lifted up his head and looked straight at her with his deep dark eyes and said, "If you keep looking at me like that, you'll make me think that you're smitten with me and that you're in love with me."Embarrassed, Serenity stammered, "I… I was just…"Just what? Just taking a casual look? Or just admiring how handsome he was today?No matter what she said, it would still sound so inappropriate!Clueless of what to tell him, she then resorted to staring at him with her almond-shaped eyes."If you don't love me," he said calmly, "then don't look at me like that again. You'll just make me misunderstand you.""Um… okay."After that hasty reply, Serenity quickly lowered her head and gobbled up the food on the table.How exactly had she looked at him just now? Did it really make him think that she was in love with him? And did she still love Jackson? Did she still love the man whom she used to love deeply and passionately in the past?!— After finishing breakfast,

"Who is it?" the woman typed. "Is he a rising actor or something?""Not an actor, you fool! That's Jackson Valor!""Jackson Valor? Which Jackson Valor?""How many Jackson Valors do you think there are in Solaria, idiot?!"The woman was stunned, but just then, she heard the person at the counter calling for number 9, and in the next moment, Jackson took Serenity's hand and led her to the marriage registration counter. The woman watched as Jackson walked away, wondering if this man really was the CEO of Valor Group, the man everyone called Mr. Valor!Then, her phone rang again. It was another text message from her friend, and she asked her, "Where did you see Jackson Valor?""Government office," she replied."What is he doing there?" her friend asked with a confused face emoji at the end of her sentence.The woman muttered, "I think he's… getting married."She still could not wrap her head around what was happening there, because if that really was the high and mighty Mr. Valo
Chapter 1225
This was Jackson Valor's marriage license, after all! There were probably only a handful of people in the whole of Solaria who knew he was here to get married today! And if the media caught a whiff of this, it would cause a sensation throughout the city for sure.Still.. He did not recognize the woman who was marrying Jackson Valor at all. She probably was not a socialite or a member of Solaria's elite families, especially not when he noticed her fingers as she was putting down her signature. He noticed how slowly she wrote, much slower than most people he had encountered, and how her fingers were callused, with the joints slightly deformed–they were just not the hands that he would expect a socialite to have.Those were the thoughts that went through the department head's mind.Just as Serenity was putting down her name on the registration form, she was suddenly overcome with the familiar nausea rising up through her throat. She covered her mouth hastily and almost flew toward the

The head of the department finally took a long breath. He realized how many curious eyes had been staring at them when they were standing there waiting for Jackson and Serenity outside the restroom.And so, the department head and the other staff members saw Jackson Valor, the man who must not be offended in Solaria, leading a woman by the hand out of the restroom and carefully supporting her as she sat down on a chair before going to the water dispenser to pour the woman a glass of water.Was Mr. Valor actually… pouring someone a glass of water?!Those staff members who knew who Jackson Valor was were all befuddled. Someone like Jackson Valor would only wait for other people to hand them a glass of water, not pour one for someone else, right?!Serenity took the glass of water from Jackson and sipped on it. He then reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a small tin containing sour plums. He picked one, gave it to her, and told her, "Eat this. It'll help you with the morning si
Chapter 1227
Back then, she used to gently stroke his eyebrows and say, “You know, you look especially attractive and charming whenever you smile like this. It’s as if you would steal my heart away every time I see this smile of yours.” He would respond by smiling even more brightly. “Then, have I stolen your heart today?” he would ask while looking directly at her. Serenity would immediately grow flustered when she heard his question. He had put her hand down before leaning in and kissing her lips gently. “Do you know? I smile because I want to present my most attractive side to you so that you will love me more. Serenity, I smile for you alone, and no one else.” At that time, she had thought how sweet and warm he was, but now… so many things had happened between them that a deep gully had opened between them. She couldn’t help but wonder what their future would be like…“What’s the matter? You don’t like the photo?” Jackson’s voice sounded. “Ah? No, I think it looks great,” replied Ser
