Chapter 1886
Obviously, the teacher did not want Fred to continue attending the kindergarten. Even though Fred gained admission to the kindergarten through the Valor family's connection, he was the child of a criminal and his mother committed suicide in prison, so his presence in the kindergarten negatively impacted the kindergarten's enrollment."I see no difference between what those kids said and Fred fighting back. I've never felt that it's wrong to fight back after getting insulted!" Serenity spoke frankly. "If you deem Fred unsuitable to remain here, then I'll make arrangements to transfer all three children to another kindergarten. Surely, I’ll be able to find a suitable kindergarten for them in Solaria!"After saying that, Serenity got down, her gaze level with the boy whose face was covered in bruises. "I know it must hurt. I'll take you to a doctor, okay? Don't worry, you'll heal in no time."Fred gazed at Serenity, his beautiful eyes widening in obvious shock. Apparently, he didn't ex

The doctor confirmed that Fred's injuries were superficial, and they would not leave any permanent marks on his face. He was given some ointment for the injuries.Serenity was initially worried that a five-year-old child might not understand how to apply the ointment and might accidentally eat it, so she kept the ointment and planned to apply it for Fred herself every day.However, that evening, her daughter came and asked her for the ointment. "Mommy, I'll help Fred apply the ointment."Serenity raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how to do it?""Of course!" The little girl nodded vigorously. "I'm not a child anymore!"It was quite amusing to hear a five-year-old child declare that she wasn't a child anymore. But Serenity also knew that Fred was always guarded and tense around her. Every time she approached him, she could feel the tension in his body.After thinking for a moment, Serenity handed the ointment to her daughter. "Then go and apply it for Fred. But remember, the ointment

"My mother tried to hurt your mother and your brother. Maybe, one day, I might try to hurt you too," Fred said, with a rare expression of self-doubt on his face. In front of other people, no matter how harshly he was bullied, he never showed any sense of inferiority. He would only feel inferior in front of her."Why would you hurt me?" Jacqueline blinked innocently.Their eyes met. She was like a pampered little princess, free of worries. He should be hating her for making him stay in the worst place possible for him, and for treating him like a mere toy.But he couldn't bring himself to dislike her. In fact, he wanted to stay with her."They say my mother hurt your family, so I'll definitely hurt you too one day," he explained. The children in kindergarten were not the only ones who said this. The servants in the Valor family frequently whispered it behind closed doors too."You're not gonna hurt me!" Jacqueline vehemently refuted without hesitation."How can you be so sure?" He

"Madam, you should go and see for yourself if Master Jackson is there," Mr. Knot suggested."Mr. Knot, thank you!" Serenity replied, suddenly standing up and rushing to the door."Madam, you're going now?" Mr. Knot exclaimed, surprised. "It's already so late. Why not go tomorrow...""I want to see Jack right now!" Serenity insisted, unable to contain her eagerness. She wanted to see him so badly."In that case, I'll ask the driver to take you there," Mr. Knot quickly offered.A few minutes later, a black car slowly drove away from the Valor Residence. Serenity prayed in silence, hoping that Jackson was really at the old mansion.The past few days had been agonizing for her. Every day felt like torture, with her mind constantly replaying the conversations and scenes at the highway entrance and the memorial hall.He said he would never forgive her.When he said those words, it felt as if there was no emotion behind them, like he was just stating a fact. But every time Serenity re

Connor, of course, knew that Mr. Valor was still angry with Serenity. For the past few days, Mr. Valor had been working from the mansion and hadn't gone to the company. But it didn't prevent the people in the company from feeling like they were walking on thin ice.In just a few days’ time, three high-level executives had been fired. Who knew how many more would be laid off if Mr. Valor remained angry.Many people had come to Connor in the last few days, asking him about the sudden layoffs. What was he supposed to tell them? Never in a million years would he dare to say that it was because Mr. Valor was fighting with his wife!Fortunately, Serenity had finally found them. The only person who could anger Mr. Valor to this extent was Serenity, and she's also the only person who could calm him down!Connor quickly went to the pond. Jackson was currently standing by the pond, quietly watching the carefully-cultivated lotuses.It wasn't the season for lotus flowers to bloom, yet the on

Fifteen minutes later, Serenity sat down outside the gate, enjoying the breakfast brought by the security guard – bread, oat porridge, and some side dishes. This was the breakfast they were having in the mansion today. The guard had managed to secure an extra portion for her from the kitchen, a task he claimed was quite challenging."Madam, why don't you go home? Mr. Valor must know by now that you've been waiting here all night, yet he hasn't let you in. I don't think this is gonna work. Why not go back and wait at home? Mr. Valor will see you when he wants to see you," the security guard kindly suggested.Serenity shook her head while taking a bite of the breakfast. "No, I'll wait."She had a feeling that if she gave up and left, she might never get another chance to see him!Therefore, what she had to do now was conserve her energy and avoid passing out from exhaustion. If she couldn't see him today, she might ask Mr. Knot to send her a tent so that she could set it up outside

But despite her choking, she refused to let go of his wrist, fearing that if she released him, he would go inside and leave her on the other side of the gate, unable to see him anymore.Jackson lowered his gaze, looking at her hand that was tightly gripping his wrist, slightly deformed from the pressure. Then his eyes shifted to her flushed face, still red from choking. The light in his eyes flickered."You don't have to grab me like this. Since I've decided to see you, of course I'll talk things out with you," Jackson said coldly.Serenity, finally recovering from her bout of choking, looked up at Jackson. Her eyes shimmered with the tears from the coughing. "Then... let's talk inside."However, she still refused to let go.He pursed his lips, choosing to remain silent, and simply walked back inside. Serenity quickly followed after him.Only when the two were out of sight did the security guard at the gate finally let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, she's gone!But the way

Jackson's eyes flickered, his gaze growing even deeper. "Do you want to divorce me?" he asked.Her heart pounded fiercely. She had a feeling that if she were to answer "yes", he might truly divorce her."I will not divorce you!" she declared firmly. "Unless you come to hate me intensely or fall in love with someone else – only then will I consider a divorce!"He sneered, "Is it because of the children?"She froze, feeling the mockery and self-mockery in his eyes pierce her heart. "It's not because of the children, it's because I love you!" She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him! She didn't want a divorce!"You love me?" The mockery in his eyes grew stronger. "Yes, you love me, but not that much. Your love for me can't compare to the affection you have for your mentor's wife, whom you've known for only a few years, and it certainly can't compare to the trust you have in Lucas! For that woman, you can betray me, and you can seek help from Lucas' contact behind my back. Do
