Chapter 1273
But there was at least one piece of good news that day–Lisa's condition had somewhat improved, and she would be out of the ICU in two days. Soon after that, she would be able to undergo a second operation.After visiting Lisa, Serenity was taking Clara home, but halfway there, the driver suddenly stopped the car, which startled Serenity. She then quickly realized that the car had been completely surrounded by numerous other black cars.Then, a man stepped out from one of those cars and headed toward her. Her bodyguard, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, rushed out and tried to block Lucas from approaching the car door near where Serenity was seated.Lucas merely glanced at the bodyguard without any expression on his face, and moments later, his men stepped forward from behind him, and a brawl ensued. Jackson had indeed carefully selected the man he assigned to protect Serenity, but he was still helpless when fighting against so many men, and he was soon subdued.Lucas wal

But her words only drove a stake through his heart. "What about me?" he asked. "Am I… all in the past too?"Serenity turned to him and looked straight into his eyes, saying, "Yes. To me, everything that happened between us is all in the past now, so there's no need for you to keep dwelling on it any longer."He suddenly chuckled lightly and muttered, "There's no need, huh…?"His pain, his regrets, his guilt… was it all just unnecessary things to her?Just then, the car stopped right in front of the door to the mansion, and Lucas told Serenity, "Let's go. I've got something to show you."And so, Serenity followed Lucas into the mansion and then to the studio inside where he kept all his paintings, and the only thing he painted… was her when she was a little girl. There was a painting of her when they had first met in the dense forest. There was a painting of her when she had grabbed his hand in the nick of time to prevent him from falling off a cliff. There was a painting of her

The tip of her nose stung. Of course she had been moved by all the things he had done for her, but… perhaps it was just their luck that when they first met, she knew nothing about romantic love. All she knew then was friendship.And when they met each other again as adults, her heart had been conquered entirely by another person, so much so that she could no longer find any space in there to love anybody else."Yes," she answered him decisively.His eyes were full of pain, almost as if he had just been hit by lightning."How could you be so sure?" he asked her. "You only said that to make me give up on you, right?! Because you already got married to Jackson, and because you're pregnant with his child—that's why you gave me that answer, right?""No," Serenity denied. "Even if I hadn't got married to Jackson and not been pregnant, I would still give you the same answer.""Do you love him, then? Do you love Jackson?"He stared straight at her, almost as if trying to use the last en

After a pause, she looked around the studio at all the paintings and continued, "Your feelings for me are nothing but an obsession. You've been looking for me all these years because of the promise we had when we were young. That's what human beings are like–the harder it is to get something, the more we want to get it, so much so that you unknowingly cast the object of your desire on a pedestal. The truth is there's nothing special about me at all. I'm just an ordinary woman."As she spoke, she turned to the man standing beside her–Jackson. Then, she raised the hand that he was not holding and hooked it around the nape of his neck. The look on his face turned ever more somber as he watched her reaching up on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his lips.She had made the first move to kiss him, and he was moved to receive her kiss.His eyes turned darker, but he slowly closed his eyes and responded to her kiss.They had no idea how much time had passed, but in the end, she finally end

“You’re not lying?” sneered Jackson. “If you’re not lying, then do you mean to say that I’m still in your heart? That you’re still in love with me? That you’ll never let me go?” “Yes,” replied Serenity. His twisted smile grew wider upon hearing this. “Then why don’t you prove that I’m still in your heart? That you still love me? That you’ll never let me go?” Serenity stared blankly at the man in front of her. To be honest, it wasn’t after Lucas brought her to the villa today and after their entire conversation that she realized she could only love one man in her life, and he was standing right in front of her. Despite her past and missed opportunities with Lucas, she was sure that the person she would end up loving was still Jackson. Sure, she and Lucas were childhood friends and she was grateful that he had saved her, but her feelings for him were… nothing close to romantic love. On the other hand, she was more than willing to stay by Jack’s side for the rest of her life,

Later on, Clara heard Jackson’s bodyguard call his boss to report the incident. She knew that Jackson would be able to bring Serenity back safely, but she could never be too sure until she heard Serenity’s voice with her own ears. “I’m fine, Clara. You don’t have to worry about me,” said Serenity. “That’s good to hear,” said Clara with a sigh of relief. “By the way, how is Yanny doing lately? One of these days, I’ll come over when I’m free for a short visit,” said Serenity, who hadn’t seen the boy for a long time. Clara hesitated for a moment and replied, “Yanny’s doing fine, but he misses you. I’ve got to go now, we have new customers. Talk to you later.” Clara quickly hung up the call and tucked her phone away. Despite what she had said, there weren’t actually any new customers at her diner. Clara lowered her head and smiled bitterly. For a moment, she had no idea how to talk to Serenity. Too many things were happening these days. Now that Serenity was pregnant, she didn’

“What’s the matter?” asked Serenity with a puzzled look. “Can you repeat what you said to me in the car earlier today?” murmured Jackson. She was stunned. After pondering for a while, she said, “I missed you, Jackson. You said that if I didn’t love you, then I shouldn’t touch you. So now, I’m touching you because I am in love with you. Was that what you wanted to hear?” “Yes. Say it again,” urged Jackson. Serenity did not turn down his request and repeated the same line. Over and over again, she kept repeating it while he kept her in his arms. After a long while, he finally asked, “Am I really still in your heart? Are you still in love with me? And you will never let me go?” “Yes, that’s correct. That’s why I didn’t hate it when you kissed me. Perhaps I wasn’t aware of my feelings for you, but when Lucas asked me that question today, I realized that I am still very much in love with you.” Serenity confessed her feelings to him. “I know, so many things have happened betwee

However, he was completely unaware that he was tempting her to lose her self-control, especially when he removed his clothes and revealed the toned body hiding underneath. It looked better than the commercials Serenity saw on TV, and it awakened her instinct to claim the man as her own…“I’m still pregnant,” said Serenity as she pointed at her belly. As fascinated as she was with him, she couldn’t do anything in this situation. “Then you should focus on fixing our love now. After you bear my children, I will satisfy your desire as you please,” replied Jackson. At that moment, Serenity felt as if she was going to get a nosebleed. Oh, my God! What sort of indecent conversation were they having?! A warmth enveloped her heart. When it came to certain things, it felt like a great burden would slide off her shoulders whenever she spoke truthfully with Jackson. Over the past two days, she had been tying up loose ends at her workplace, which only left her with Clara’s custody proceedi
