Chapter 1484
"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
Chapter 1489
After Jackson walked out of the room, his hands clenched into fists.She had no idea how nervous and hopeful he felt when she took the initiative to pull his arm, hug his neck, and kiss him.But... it ended in yet another disappointment.Although she tried to convince him with this method, her body couldn't lie. Her body was still rejecting him, which meant that she had not truly forgiven him yet.But at the very least, she was willing to lie to comfort him. He should feel happy about that.She and him... still had plenty of time together. After he eliminated the hidden threat, after the birth of their babies, he would have plenty of time to convince her to accept him again!While Jackson was giving instructions to the nurse and bodyguards outside the room, Connor rushed over and said, "Mr. Valor, we have a situation."Jackson's eyes flickered. He waved away the nurse, who immediately went into the room to take care of Serenity.Jackson asked Connor, "What's the matter?""We'v

Jackson narrowed his eyes at Walter. "You're telling me that you have no idea she escaped from prison?""I have no idea," Walter insisted."Fine. You told my men that you'd only talk to me? Well, I'm here now. What do you want to say to me?" Jackson asked."Master Zack said, if Serenity Lewis found out the truth after his death but didn't leave you, he wanted to make a bet with you.""A bet?" Jackson asked."Yes, a bet!" Walter said, "Master Zack wanted to see if you would really sacrifice your life for a woman, like your father did."Jackson's expression darkened, "What do you mean by that?" The old man had already passed away. How could he make a bet with Jackson?A tiny smile twitched at the corner of Walter's mouth, but he kept quiet. On his bruised and battered face, the smile looked scary."I asked you what you mean by that!" Jackson growled, his indifferent and cold eyes turning sharp."You'll know when the time comes," Walter said, "Master Zack wanted you to learn from

The person on the other end of the phone was so nervous that he stammered, "We... We went to Madam's room and found Eva and the nurse unconscious. Madam was nowhere to be seen. There's no surveillance camera in the bedroom, but the footage from the surveillance camera outside the bedroom shows that Madam has never left the room. Also, the room... smells of chloroform!""Look for her! I don't care if you turn the entire mansion upside down, you must find her!" Jackson said, then threw the phone back to Connor. He glared at Walter with eyes filled with killing intent. He then grabbed Walter's hair and pushed him against the wall."Where did you take Serenity?! If anything happens to her, I'll kill you!" As he said that, he slammed Walter's head into the wall hard.Walter laughed and said, "I won't tell you even if you kill me! You'll know when the time comes!""Spill it!" Jackson furiously slammed Walter's head into the wall repeatedly. All he could think of right now was Serenity.
