"We already have one foot in the grave. Gossip isn't gonna hurt us. We just want you to be happy," Lisa's mother said, her eyes red with emotion.By giving birth out of wedlock, Lisa would be choosing a difficult path for herself. Tears welled in Lisa’s eyes. Over the years, she had done a lot of things to make her parent's worry. She hadn't been able to repay their love and support.Lisa's father looked at his daughter and said seriously, "Are you sure you won't regret it? Raising a child isn't as easy as raising a pet. Your life will become very difficult."Lisa took a deep breath, her resolve firm. "I've made up my mind. I won't regret it. As long as the baby allows me to be its mother, I won't give up on it.""Alright, if you want to keep the baby, then do it. Our family has no problem raising a child!" Lisa's father said. Since his daughter had made up her mind, he, as her father, would protect both her and the unborn child!Lisa couldn't hold back her tears."Don't cry, h

"You didn't ask Lisa?" "Lisa didn't want to talk about it, so didn't push her," Serenity thought for a moment and said, "Jack, can you find Terry for me? I want to ask him what happened.""You're always so concerned about Lisa," he said softly."She's my best friend." Without Lisa, she wouldn't be alive."What about me? Do you care more about me or her?" Jackson leaned closer, his captivating eyes filled with both charm and desire.Although he knew that Lisa held a special place in Serenity's heart, he couldn't help but wish that he was the person Serenity cared about the most. Even if he couldn't have her all to himself, he hoped to have the biggest share of her heart.He was greedy, but only towards her."Don't tell me you're getting jealous again?" she asked. "You're my husband, and Lisa's my friend. There's no need to compare!""That's right, I get jealous even over something like this. I'm so stupid, right?" With shuddering eyelashes, he lowered his gaze and helped her fa

"Alright, I'll go with you," Jackson said. Their car thus made its way towards the Solaria Airport.Upon their arrival, Serenity found Terry in a VIP waiting room, dressed in a black trench coat and carrying a black suitcase."You're leaving Solaria?" Serenity asked, slightly breathless from her hurried arrival with Jackson after learning the VIP waiting room's location."Is there a problem?" Terry responded indifferently. "I came here for business, and now that it's taken care of, of course I'm going home.""What about Lisa?" Serenity questioned anxiously. "Are you aware that Lisa is in the hospital right now...""So? What does that have to do with me?" Terry coldly cut her off, showing no concern."You...!" Serenity walked up to Terry, raised her hand and delivered a resounding slap to Terry's face.Slap!The sound reverberated in the VIP waiting room, fortunately devoid of any eyewitnesses due to it being a private room.Terry stared at Serenity with a chilling intensity, e

Terry's indifferent attitude towards Lisa made Serenity's blood boil. She lost control of her emotions and ended up slapping him."You just care about Lisa too much," Jackson pointed out. "Besides, regardless of whether you had slapped him or not, it wouldn't have changed the outcome, judging by Terry's attitude."When Terry heard Lisa's name, his eyes looked dead, as if he had completely given up on her.As a man himself, Jackson could tell that Terry didn't abandon Lisa because he didn't love her anymore. It looked more like she had hurt him so deeply that it had crushed him."From what Terry said, Lisa's the one who doesn't want to be with him. She wants to have nothing to do with him, and Terry respects her decision," Jackson analyzed. "If you really want to know what happened, you should ask Lisa."Serenity sighed, "I'll wait for Lisa to calm down a bit first...". Bitterness tainted her words as she added, "But I'm afraid it's meaningless at this point. Did you see Terry's re

"You don't have to if you're busy. I can go by myself," Serenity said."No, I'll go with you," Jackson insisted. "Edward is your mentor, and he and his wife have been good to you and Jackie. Don't you always say that you're grateful to them? Then I'm grateful to them too."Serenity leaned against Jackson's chest and said softly, "Yeah, they were so kind to me and Jackie. Without them, life would have been much harder for us in Latveria. The Lark Jefferson incident almost tarnished Edward's reputation, and I feel so bad for that.""Don't worry, I'll definitely repay them. If there's anything they want, I'll get it for them," Jackson assured her.Serenity sighed. "They won't accept your gift. My mentor is a very upright person. Besides his passion for the law, he doesn't have any hobbies. What he cares about the most is his wife. He's concerned about her leg."Jackson raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with her leg?""Her knee was injured in an accident, and she has been walking with

Jackson looked down at his own hand, then stole a glance at Mary, who was walking away.Her hand noticeably trembled when she shook his hand just now! He wondered what she was scared of.Edward and Mary didn't want to stay in their mansion and had already booked a hotel room for themselves. After settling Edward and Mary in the hotel, Serenity and Jackson made plans to dine together at a renowned restaurant in Solaria. All three triplets attended the dinner, as did Cynthia and Fred. Cynthia came because of Caden. Caden was very attached to Cynthia and stuck to her like glue. Except when she's in school, he was always following her around.He actually got even more attached to her after his background came to light. Serenity had consulted a psychiatrist and learned that this was because the child was feeling uneasy. In some ways, it could be considered a nestling complex.Cynthia used to be the only person who had ever protected Caden, so he had developed a natural sense of de

"J... Jackson..." a moment later, Mary softly uttered his name.Jackson responded with a gentle smile.The atmosphere warmed up again. After the meal, on their way back home, Jackson turned to Serenity and commented, "Mary seems to be scared of me.""She's probably just nervous. Like she said, it's her first time meeting a big shot like you. She’s only seen you in the news before," replied Serenity, "You see, Mary's a housewife. Edward wouldn't let her work due to her leg's condition, so she doesn't have many opportunities to interact with people. It's understandable for her to be nervous since it’s her first time meeting you. You have no idea what kind of rumors there are about you...""Rumors? What rumors?" Jackson raised an eyebrow, displaying interest.Serenity suddenly felt awkward. The rumors about Jackson were far from favorable. They portrayed him as ruthless and cold-blooded. In Solaria, crossing him meant facing dire consequences."Well? What are the rumors? What kind o

Serenity immediately knew that Mr. Smith must be pretty confident about the surgery. But... Mary actually had her Achilles tendon severed when she was young? That's surprising.Was it an accident, or was it... intentionally done? If it was intentional, who would commit such a cruel act against a woman?After discussing the surgery in detail with Mr. Smith, Edward and Mary decided to take some time to think about it before making a decision. Serenity took the elderly couple back to the Valor Residence to have lunch.Edward looked around the house in admiration. He was full of praise for the mansion. Mary, on the other hand, was quiet. Although she walked around the mansion with them, she hardly spoke. However, when they passed by Jackson and Serenity's master bedroom, Mary suddenly asked, "Can I... go in and take a look?""Of course." Serenity opened the door and gestured, "This is mine and Jack's bedroom."Mary stepped inside, surveyed the room, and then approached the door
