Chapter 406
Prince Lucas's ex-girlfriends came from all classes. Their fate varied—some had a good ending, but some ended terribly. Even so, countless women still flocked to Lucas, wanting to be his girlfriend.The netizens even discussed Prince Lucas online. His good looks were to die for, and they would willingly follow him even without his status as Prince Lucas of the entertainment industry. Everyone was shocked at the turn of events and gasped in disbelief as they watched Lucas help Serenity with her shoelace. Lucas tied the shoelace and finally withdrew his hand reluctantly as he rose to his feet."T-thanks." Serenity felt a little awkward. She then kept her head down and hastily left the scene.Meanwhile, in the cafe at the shooting location, Aria looked through the glass window from her seat inside. She went wide-eyed at what Lucas had just done, her beautifully manicured nails digging into her palm.'Serenity... Why? Why must they meet again?!' Lucas had even taken the initiative

Serenity hesitated for a second. "No. I happened to meet someone I knew in the crew... He helped settle the matter." "Is he a friend? We must thank him! Shall I get him a gift of appreciation later? Could you help deliver it to him?" Clara asked hurriedly."No need," Serenity said and quickly changed the subject, moving on to enquire about Yanny's cochlear implants."Yanny's medical report will be out in a couple of days. If there's no problem, he'll proceed with the cochlear implant surgery." Clara could not hide the joy on her face. "I've spoken to the hospital, and they said that I could apply for a partial fee waiver to ease my financial situation.""That's great," Serenity said, relieved and happy to know that Yanny would be able to hear soon. She knew that Jackson was the one who had made the arrangement with the hospital. The incident during the lunch delivery soon passed just like an episode.Serenity thought it was over, but she did not expect Clara to ask her about it

But who would do this? Serenity first thought of Lucas. After all, Lucas had the most reason to remove these videos online. Besides, not many had the power and influence to remove these so quickly.In the meantime, in Jackson's office. Jackson sat in front of the computer, watching the video playing on the screen. A hint of hostility flashed in his eyes. Serenity would gasp if she ever saw the video. Jackson was watching the same video Clara had mentioned earlier. However, the video had been removed everywhere online.Jackson quietly watched the video. His face darkened when he saw Lucas crouch to tie Serenity's shoelace. His fingers on the table reflexively tightened up.Jackson had known Lucas for a long time. Jackson had naturally come into contact with Lucas after his return to the Valor family.The Valor and Gomez family had a good relationship. Naturally, he had a good relationship with Lucas too. Conflict of interest aside, having a friend was better than having one more e

"What if she's single? Would she like Lucas then?" Jackson seemed determined to find an answer.'What... How would I know?!' Connor was frantic and had no choice but to answer Jackson seriously. "I think Ms. Lewis... She's quite conservative. She wouldn't casually fall for someone else.""Is that so? But she was dating Zeke before," Jackson reminded coldly.Connor wanted to cry. He felt the struggle as Jackson's trustworthy secretary. "Ms. Lewis' relationship with Zeke Shaw is a thing of the past. Zeke has betrayed Ms. Lewis. Naturally, she no longer has any feelings for him.""Betrayed?" Jackson raised his brow in surprise."Well, yeah. Zeke broke up with Ms. Lewis when she needed help the most. Isn't that betrayal?" Connor explained, "Knowing Ms. Lewis' character, she's the kind who won't forgive those who have betrayed her."Jackson's face darkened at Connor's comment, his mouth set in a grim line. What Zeke had done to Serenity was considered a betrayal. How about the things

"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Serenity asked, feeling that something was off.Jackson simply avoided her question and murmured, "I missed you." Serenity's face flushed red, her heart racing. She was glad for the dark surroundings and hid her red face in the darkness. "What about you? Did you miss me today?" His deep voice resonated through her, his breath brushing the nape of her neck.All her attention shifted to the nape of her neck. She could feel his breath, and his lips were close to her, almost kissing her ear.In a daze, she felt a tickle of pain on her earlobe. She jolted to her senses, her face bright crimson. Jackson was nibbling her ear!"Did you miss me?" His low murmur rang again."Yes..." she almost stammered. "Uh... Let me go. I'll put my bag away," she said unsteadily. She could barely breathe, and the air that hung there between them was too much for her to handle.He did not oblige, still holding her in his embrace. Instead, he probed for her answer

"I'm not asking you to fall in love with me immediately. I'm not asking you to open your heart to me all of a sudden either. I just want you to like me a little better. I just want you to love me more," Jackson murmured.Jackson feared that Serenity did not like him enough. Her other feelings for him could replace her little love for him without warning, and he was afraid that she would leave him one day. Jackson slowly made her turn, and their eyes locked on each other.The living room was pitch black. The moonlight from the window allowed Serenity to see the outline of his face but not his expression. She could tell he was looking at her.Serenity raised her arm and cupped his cheeks as she promised solemnly, "Okay. I'll learn to love you better."Before this, Serenity was still confused about their relationship. She could not see a future together with him. It seemed her thoughts had changed. Serenity was willing to accept Jackson, regardless of their future. She wanted to s
Chapter 412
Jackson was a powerful man with a high position in society. Endless temptations surrounded him. Even so, she knew his love for her was true for the moment. However, would this endure the future and last forever?"I will never love anyone else. You're the only one I've ever loved in my life," Jackson vowed. "So, if I make a mistake about something else, you'll forgive me, won't you?" His murmur was pleading and eager."Yes," Serenity responded.When the one-syllable answer was out of her mouth, Jackson hugged her and squeezed her tight again."Remember what you’ve said today, Serenity. Don't forget this. You promised!" Serenity's promise seemed extremely important to him, something unforgettable and never-changing.***Later, Serenity could see the red creeping over her cheeks in the bathroom mirror.It had been a while since they had hugged and kissed in the living room, but the flush on her cheeks had not faded.Jackson had seemed a little odd earlier. Serenity felt that som

The video was no longer online, but... Serenity did not want to hide it from Jackson. After all, they were officially dating. "Well..." Serenity told Jackson about what had happened earlier at noon, including the dispute and Lucas helping her.Serenity studied Jackson's face when she finished the story, but he did not seem surprised. She could not resist asking, "You knew?""Yeah. I saw that video," Jackson said.Serenity was surprised in turn. She had not even seen the video yet he had seen it!Afraid he would misunderstand, she spoke first. "That video... There's nothing between us." She had heard about the video earlier. Clara had mentioned that many comments were speculating about her relationship with Lucas.Jackson sat on the bed with his arms around her waist. He tilted his head slightly and looked up at her. "So, you're not attracted to Lucas, are you?""Of course not," Serenity answered. Her? Attracted to Lucas? Speaking of which, she found Jackson much more attracti
