Chapter 1481
She was willing to have dinner with him on New Year’s Eve. That meant she wouldn’t be leaving him, right? “Knock knock!” Jackson’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of knocking on his door. “Come in,” said Jackson. Connor entered the room and greeted him before saying, “Sir, Jenny has escaped from prison!” Jackson’s expression changed instantly. Sullen-faced, he asked Connor, “What’s going on?” “I received news from the police that she had escaped from prison around 3 in the morning today. The surveillance system of the detention center where she was held was hacked, so we have no footage from the time she escaped. As of now, we do not know who helped Jenny in her escape,” explained Connor. Jackson considered the possibilities in silence. Could it be the Hall family? Or was it the Shaw family? Or maybe it was some trained diehard fan? Or perhaps…“Keep an eye on the Halls and the Shaws, see if anything is happening on their side. Also, continue the search for Walter
Chapter 1482
"How long has she been sleeping?" Jackson asked the nurse."About an hour," the nurse replied.Jackson bent down and gently stroked Serenity's cheek.He could only touch her at times like this. If he did so while she's awake, she might throw up due to her body resisting him.The nurse's eyes widened in shock.Since she was tasked with taking care of Serenity, Jackson Valor had never shown up to see her. The nurse thought that Serenity only managed to marry into the Valor family because she got pregnant, and that Jackson Valor actually didn't care about her at all.That's why she was so surprised to witness this scene.Jackson Valor actually cared a lot about his wife! He touched her so gingerly, as if he was caressing a priceless treasure.Serenity's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She opened her eyes drowsily and was greeted by the sight of Jackson's face. She mumbled, "Jack..."He tensed up and reflexively pulled his hand back."Sorry for waking you. If you're still sleepy, g

The moment he heard her say that, his eyes lit up like stars, glittering and bright, while his mouth curled into a nice looking arc."You've missed me... You've missed me..." he murmured with excitement. His beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed a little teary.Serenity was a little taken aback by his emotional reaction. She could make him react so strongly with just a few simple words?She knew without a doubt that he loved her.And... she actually loved him too, didn't she?"Let's eat first and talk later. The food will get cold," Serenity said."Okay, let's eat first. This is our first New Year's Eve together. You'll have New Year's Eve dinner with me every year from now on, won't you?" he asked, his voice thick with nerves and hope.She knew the answer he wanted to hear, and she didn't want to make him sad."Yes. From now on, we'll have New Year's Eve dinner together every year," she said.Her reply was a promise that sated his anticipation and desire.Tears fell from his e

"Since neither of us can change what happened in the past... I'd rather put it behind us and not dwell on it. Like Lisa said, we must always look ahead," Serenity took a deep breath and slowly let go of her struggles and inner conflicts. She finally said the words that had lingered in her mind for days..."Jack, I'm willing to forgive you, and I won't leave you. I haven't forgotten my promise to you – if you don't abandon me, then I won't abandon you either."Yes, that was her decision.When she said that, she started trembling again. Pain assaulted her, as if all the pain she had experienced before was sweeping through her body along with the memories. However... she also felt some kind of relief.Perhaps... she could only experience true happiness and stay with the person she loved by letting go of the past.If she missed out on him, she believed she would definitely regret it one day!Jackson's lips quivered, "You're willing to forgive me? You're not gonna leave me?""Yes, I'

However, they didn't sleep in the same bed.When it was time to go to bed that night, Jackson said, "I'll just sleep on the couch. If I sleep on the bed, I might touch you by accident when I'm sleeping," he said.He was worried that his touch might make her throw up again.So, when Serenity woke up the next morning, she was greeted by the sight of Jackson lying on the couch with his eyes closed, still asleep.She gently climbed out of bed and went over to the couch.Usually, he would be awake by the time she woke up. He rarely overslept. However, it was already 9 am now and he was still asleep.Serenity observed Jackson quietly. He seemed to have lost some weight. Even when he was asleep, he looked tired.There were dark circles under his eyes. Had he not been sleeping well lately?Suddenly, Jackson's brows knitted. His calm sleeping face instantly turned uneasy, and sweat started to seep out of his forehead in large amount."Never... Never... Definitely not..." he mumbled."

Jackson turned off the faucet, put on his bathrobe, stood in front of the mirror at the sink and stared at his own reflection in the mirror.His wet hair was plastered to his face, and water droplets dripped down from it.They looked like tears."Grandpa, that day will never come. I will not walk down a path of self-destruction, and Serenity will never leave me. We will definitely have a happy ending!"His voice carried a firm determination!Over the next few days, Serenity and Jackson stayed in the mansion.Serenity would video-call Lisa, Clara and Yanny during the day whenever she was free. When Lisa and Clara learned that Serenity and Jackson were back together, they were really happy for Serenity.Clara didn't know the whole story, but Lisa did.She asked Serenity when it was just the two of them, "Have you really gotten over it?" After all, Lisa was involved in Serenity's case from the very beginning, so she knew how much her friend had suffered in prison and how big of a

"If you trust me, then remove those guards. Let Eva alone protect me just like before. I don't want to have so many people following me around every time I go out." It made her feel like she was being monitored."I can't do that," he immediately refused."Why?" she asked."You need all those people protecting you right now," Jackson said, not ready to tell her about Walter's disappearance and Jenny's prison break yet.After all, it was all just his speculation. He did not know for sure if they're planning something yet. She would be undergoing cesarean delivery in a week's time, so he did not want to make her worry unnecessarily as it might affect her health.Serenity's heart sank. He said he trusted her, but... he actually didn't, did he?"Jack, is there really so little trust between us? What exactly do I have to do before you're willing to fully trust me?" she asked. She had raised her voice without realizing it.He stared into her eyes, as if he was trying to see through her

Her movements were so stiff that she felt like a robot, but she persevered.She stood on tiptoes and stared at the handsome face in front of her.They were standing so close together that she could see his eyelashes very clearly and see herself in his pitch-black pupils.Just a little closer, and she would kiss him!If she did that, he would believe her, right?He would believe that she had truly forgiven him and believe that she wouldn't leave him! She wished he knew how much she loved him! She didn't want to miss out on him!He was probably the man who loved her the most in the world. No other man would love her like he did.The truth behind the accident had indeed caused her a lot of pain, and she had indeed hated him for a brief period of time, but the secret must have tormented him greatly too.Now that she thought about it, he had asked her more than once if she would forgive him if he ever wronged her.Was he living in constant fear of her discovering the truth back t
