Chapter 416
Lucas' fingers tightened around the coffee cup. "What if I regret it?" Lucas had underestimated Serenity's influence on him when he made his previous decision. He had thought that he only cared for her because she looked like the little girl in his memory.Gradually, Lucas realized that it was more than that. He felt his heart clench whenever he saw someone trying to harm her. He would always rush over to her rescue subconsciously, almost as if seeing her a little hurt was enough to make his heart ache.Lucas was unwilling to let her leave whenever they parted, wishing her gaze on him would stay a little longer, even if it was just for a little while!No other woman had ever affected him as much as her. When had he ever cared so much about a woman? He only cared about the little girl who had saved his life back then, but Serenity was an exception.Lucas occasionally wondered. Maybe he should not have given Serenity to Jackson without putting up a fight. Would things be different if

Jackson continued to drink his coffee leisurely as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening. It even seemed that he was having a casual chat with Lucas instead of talking about something that might literally shake the foundation of Solaria.Likewise, the gleam in Lucas's eyes slowly faded as he picked up his cup of coffee and casually took a sip.The tense atmosphere between the two men slowly evaporated. Now, they merely looked like two friends hanging out at the restaurant.The sight overwhelmed Clara for a moment, and she was not alone. The customers in the restaurant, especially the women, could not help but steal a glance at the two men from time to time. After all, both of them were handsome enough that they could easily rival celebrities.In fact, one of the women there even furtively pulled out her phone to take a photo of the two men, but just as she aimed her phone at Jackson and Lucas, before she even had the time to take a picture, her camera was blocked by a huge h

Serenity's face turned deep red involuntarily. She bit her lips and told Clara, "He's my boyfriend.""Your boyfriend?!" Clara's eyes widened in shock. Although she could feel a sense of intimacy through their interaction, she had never expected that Jackson would actually be Serenity's... boyfriend?!So, Serenity already had a boyfriend? And that boyfriend of hers turned out to be such a mysterious and unfathomable person too!Yes, mysterious and unfathomable—that was Clara's impression of the man. Just like the smile on his face right now, which might make him look like a harmless and friendly person at first glance, and yet, she knew deep down that this man was far from harmless. On the contrary, Clara's instincts told her that this man was dangerous and not to be messed with. She could distinctly feel the intimidating aura that the man exuded."Yes," Serenity affirmed, "He’s my boyfriend.""Oh..." Clara then proceeded to introduce herself, "Nice to meet you. My name is Clara

Clara remembered how she had pulled Serenity aside to ask her the question, and she had received an affirmative answer."Yes, Clare, he is Jackson Valor of the Valor Group, the man you thought he was."Okay, so that was the answer Serenity had given her. Still, it felt as if her mind had been struck by waves of thunder and lightning, and she just could not process what was happening right now.Was her delivery employee really Jackson Valor's girlfriend? Who would ever believe her if she told them that?!It was even more surreal when Serenity said she still had some orders to deliver and Jackson replied, "Okay, then I'll just wait for you right here. I'm free for the rest of the day, anyway."And so, as Serenity went out to make the deliveries, Jackson stayed there... well, reading a book!Clara thought she had been through quite a lot of dramatic things in her life, yet she still found it incredibly difficult to make sense of what was happening in front of her right now!If Sere

"I... understand," said Clara. "I won't tell her anything."She then hesitated and added, "Although I now know that Serenity is your girlfriend, I've never had any idea to use her from the start, and I naturally have no intention to do so now either. I gave her a job back then because we both suffered the same fate and used to be in prison, so I felt sorry for her and wanted to give her a chance so she could stand on her own two feet."Hearing this, the iciness in Jackson's eyes thawed a little."I won't meddle in the business between you and Wilson Birch," he assured her. "All I want is for Serenity to work here safely and peacefully. If anything happens to her, you can always give me a call."After speaking, he gave Clara his phone number. She quickly noted it down. To think that only a handful of people in the whole of Solaria actually had this man's number, and Clara had actually gotten it under such bizarre circumstances!Nevertheless, since Jackson had assured her that he wo

Lately, he had always been spending the night sleeping in the same bed with her in this room. Although strictly speaking they did nothing at all the whole night, as time went on, it had become a habit for both of them to fall asleep together without them even realizing it.Because she had to keep the lights on while sleeping, Serenity would gently hint, "I always need the light to be on when I'm sleeping and you're probably not used to it. Why don't you just go sleep in your own room instead?"But the only reply she got was, "I just want to sleep with you, Sis. I don't mind it even if the lights are on."And so, the rest of what she had in mind remained unsaid."Are you going to bed now?" Jackson asked when he saw her heading toward the bed."Uh-huh," she replied, blushing slightly.She then lifted the blanket and prepared to climb into bed when Jackson suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tight, burying his face against her body. He was acting just like a sp

"But even if Lucas really wants to snatch you away from me," Jackson asked in a whispering voice, "he still won't get what he wants, right? Because I'm the man you like the most, and I'm also the man you're destined to fall in love with one day, right?"His warm breath tickled her face, and soon after she heard his voice, his kiss quickly followed as it landed gently on her lips.He would never let anyone take her away from him. She was his and his alone!*** When Serenity woke up the next day, Jackson had already gone to work. So, after eating her breakfast, she went straight to preparing his lunch.Both the lunch box and the cooking ingredients were already there for her in the kitchen of the Valor Residence. In fact, even the cook was there by her side, and he had been ordered to give Serenity any assistance or help that she might need.When the lunch was finally prepared, even Serenity felt that her cooking skills had improved to a higher level. So, with the lunchbox in tow,

But it was precisely because she could comprehend the conversation that she was now feeling even more embarrassed. In the end, it was Jackson who confirmed their suspicions with a brief, "It's her.""Oh? So what's going on between the two of you, Jackson? Are you guys lovers?"Because these people were foreigners, they were much more direct in their manner of speaking. Had it been Jackson's Solarian employees, they would never even dare to think of asking him such a blunt and personal question.Serenity then heard Jackson reply in French, "She is the woman that I love the most."In that instant, she felt as if her heart had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand that made even the beating of the heart difficult. When the meeting was finally over, Jackson walked over to Serenity's side and asked her, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"She hastily answered, "N-Nothing..."But that only made him hold her face and study her blushing face intently, asking her, "Is it beca
