Chapter 1857
After Jude Valor died, Master Zack had bought the house and kept everything inside the same. It was Master Zack's way of telling Jackson not to forget what had happened back then!Master Zack wanted the house to serve as a constant reminder of how his father had died and how his mother had left him behind!The car drove to its destination, and Jackson shut his eyes again. Was his love just self-deception? Was it nothing more than wishful thinking? Would he end up like his father, falling into despair in an unequal relationship?- When Serenity got home, Jackson was still not back at Valor Residence. She called his number on her phone, but he was unreachable.Where are you, Jack?! Serenity became desperate. She knew asking Connor would not help, and Elliot could not give her any answers either. When the children came home, Serenity had to force a smile, pretending that everything was fine.Jacqueline became curious as Jackson did not come back home for dinner. "Where's Daddy? Is

"Jackie considers Fred a friend!" Serenity raised her voice. At least in her opinion, that was the case. Besides, some friendships could last a lifetime!"Really? Well, let's see if she thinks Fred is a friend or a toy," Jackson mused, leaving the matter inconclusive in the end.Serenity's efforts to keep her daughter from going to Fred's room to sleep were futile. Even if she watched Jacqueline fall asleep in her own room, she would find her daughter in Fred's room the next morning. With not many options left, Serenity had to let it go. Luckily, the kids were only five years old, so she did not have to be too worried about them.Micah was still awake. The boy who inherited his father's eyes was staring straight at Serenity."Micah? What's wrong? Do you want to listen to Mommy's story before you sleep?" Serenity asked."Did Mommy and Daddy get into a fight?" Micah asked, and his question caught Serenity off guard.Startled, Serenity quickly managed a smile. "Why do you think Momm

"I know it's late, which is precisely why I must look for him!" Serenity had to find Jackson as soon as possible. She owed him an apology. Otherwise, their misunderstanding would only worsen, and the widening rift between them would eventually be irreconcilable."I shall arrange a car for you," Elliot offered. Serenity agreed with a nod. She had retaken her driving test and gotten her driver's license issued in Latveria, but she was too tired and emotionally unstable. She could drive, but letting someone else drive was much safer.The car took Serenity to the Valor Group building, but Jackson was not there, so she told the driver to go to one of the villas she knew. While on the way, she noticed that the driver deliberately avoided the usual road and detoured around the city, so she asked, "Why don't you just drive straight ahead?"The navigation shows that the road ahead is closed. We have to take a detour," the driver explained."The road is closed?" Serenity jolted in surprise

In the silence of the night, the couple stared into each other's eyes just like this.For a moment, Serenity felt like she had gone back to the time she had first met him. His face was void of emotions, his beautiful eyes filled with only cold emptiness."Jack, sorry." She murmured, her apologetic voice resonating in the quiet night.Jackson's eyes were hooded. "Sorry? What are you sorry for?""I was wrong. I knew how much you hate your mother, but I stubbornly fell to my knees, begging you to forgive her. I shouldn't have done that," Serenity repented. She had never imagined she would face such a complicated situation one day. Edward and Mary had been kind to her. She had to repay their kindness, but not at this cost.Maybe her heart has always been biased toward him. She cared about him most and never wanted to hurt him. As Serenity continued to approach him, Jackson kept his head down and did not say a word. Serenity walked slowly and finally stopped when they were only a ste

But Jackson, owing to self-deception or willful blindness, would rather believe everything she said and even consider her lies as the truth. Her lies seemed to be exposed only when it came to the time to choose and the inevitable tests in life, making it impossible for him to continue the self-deception."I'll stay here tonight. Leave me alone and go home," Jackson said coldly, but as he felt a pair of hands wrap around him from behind, his body stiffened.Serenity hugged Jackson, pressing her face against his back. Jackson heard her voice ringing in his ears. "I won't plead for Mary anymore, but Jack, you should know that Edward and Mary have helped me a lot. You don't understand how hard it was for me to find a living in a city I'm unfamiliar with. I felt so helpless without any memory of the past, and I had a child with me. It wasn't until I met Edward and Mary that I could finally catch my breath and take a break."After a pause, she hugged him tighter, mustering the courage

Jackson realized Serenity's exposed skin was cold after staying outside the whole night. He urged, "Get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we reach home.""Jack… Will you disappear from my sight again?" Serenity was a little worried he would leave without a word again. It was only by chance that she had found him this time."I won't," Jackson promised. "Now sleep."Relief flooded through Serenity, and as she fluttered her eyes closed, the exhaustion suddenly hit her hard, putting her to sleep.Thoughts clouded Jackson as he stared at the sleeping Serenity next to him. The car drove up the road, and soon, they were back home. Jackson did not wake Serenity up. He carried her back to the bedroom and gently put her in bed. "Serenity, I can never forgive that woman. So please don't ever plead for her again." Jackson made a low sigh, a pleading note mixed in his warning.-When Lisa met Serenity, she noticed the worried look on her friend's face. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"But have you thought about the future? What if Terry finds out about the child one day? What if he wants the child?" Serenity asked.Lisa immediately replied, "The child is mine! I won't give my child to anyone!""But he can file a lawsuit to get the child's custody," Serenity said, reminding Lisa of Wilson and Clara's case. "Did you forget how Wilson sued Clara and tried to fight for Yanny's custody?"Lisa's face paled, and she stopped eating her dessert. "Can he… Possibly win the child's custody?""If he's serious about it and gets the best lawyer to help him, there's at least a fifty percent chance he'll get custody when the kid turns two," Serenity stated.Lisa gritted her teeth, clenching her hands into fists. Serenity sighed. "Things might get ugly, Lisa. I'll do all I can to help, but… Why did it come to this? I thought you were planning to start over with him?""We can't start over. Terry never loved me," Lisa said, bitter about the relationship. "He told me he never

"Well, don't overthink. When it comes down to it, I'll help," Serenity reassured.After dropping Lisa off at home, Serenity contacted an experienced private investigator she knew from her time as a lawyer in Latveria."Help me investigate Monica Hart from the Hart Company. I want to know what she's been up to since her official break up with Terry White and the press conference to call off the wedding," Serenity told the investigator. She thought she had to check it out to put her mind at ease.Serenity only contacted the investigator to look into Monica's history. She wanted to know about Edward and Mary's whereabouts, but she knew the investigator would not be able to help, especially when Jack wanted to hide their whereabouts. Serenity came to the Valor Group building, wanting to meet Jackson. When she was about to reach Jackson's office, she saw Connor striding toward Jackson's office with a stack of documents in his hands."Connor!" Serenity called out to him. Connor stopp
