"Thank goodness you look different now," Jackson murmured. He did not want a woman like that to have Serenity's face.But the fact that they looked alike when they were kids was... quite fortunate.Jackson's eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked down in contemplation, his long eyelashes covering up the schemes and calculations in his eyes...-Jackson and Serenity stayed for dinner. Serenity's grandfather, Henry Walker, returned home in the evening. His attitude towards Serenity was cold and his attitude towards Jackson was even worse.Serenity was used to it, but when she saw her grandfather's attitude towards Jackson, she looked towards Jackson with some concern.After all, considering Jackson's status, not many people would dare to treat him this way.However, Jackson merely smiled at Serenity. As if he could tell what her concern was, he hinted with his eyes that she did not have to worry.Serenity was relieved.Because Granny was in a good mood, she had a bigger dinner

"Good, good. You've always been such a filial granddaughter, Serenity," Granny said with a smile.Filial? A touch of gloom appeared on Serenity's face. If she really was filial, she would have taken her grandmother to the city to live with her so that she could take care of her.However, right now, she was living with Jack. If she wanted to do so, she would have to talk to him first and get his consent."If you don't mind, Granny, why don't you come stay with Serenity in Solaria so that she can take care of you?" Jackson suddenly asked.Serenity looked at Jackson in surprise. She did not expect him to propose that.Granny seemed to be surprised as well. She smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, but I'm used to staying here. Besides, I have children of my own, so if I let my granddaughter take care of me instead, people will gossip. When I feel better, I'll go visit you two in Solaria."Granny turned to Serenity and said, "You better go now or you'll get back home really late

Simply sitting next to her made him feel relaxed.Just by looking at her, he could forget about the lies, deceit and pressure that he had to face on a daily basis.Other people could only see how high he stood, but they could not see that, the richer and the more powerful a person was, the more the people around them wanted to bring them down.The high and mighty Valor empire could come crashing down at the slightest misstep.Therefore, every step he took, he had to be extra careful. He had to look ten steps ahead before taking a single step. He had been doing it for so long that he had forgotten what relaxation felt like.Perhaps she was the only person in the world who could give him this sense of relaxation.When they came across a gas station, Jackson stopped to buy water. While he was gone, Serenity's eyes wandered to the steering wheel beside her.She still remembered the excitement of touching the steering wheel for the first time back when she started learning how to dri

Jackson was going to hand Serenity the water he had just bought, but when he saw her pale face, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"She shook her head. "I... I'm just..." She struggled to find the words to complete her sentence.He frowned. Her face had gone completely pale and her forehead was drenched in sweat. One of her hands was gripping the steering wheel tightly and she could not stop shivering. Her eyes were filled with fear...It looked as if she was suffering a panic attack."Just what?" he asked? He put the water bottle aside and put his hand over her hand that was holding the steering wheel. Then, little by little, he removed her hand from the steering wheel. "Don't be scared. I'm here. No matter what happens, there's no reason to be scared."His voice was powerful and firm. It reverberated in her ears.Serenity closed her eyes and took two deep breaths before her trembling gradually subsided.It's all in the past now. There's no reason to b

Back at the Valor Residence, Jackson told a maid to heat up Serenity's herbal medicine and bring it over.The maid brought along some chocolate with the herbal medicine.Serenity did not find the herbal medicine bitter at all. To her, the herbal medicine represented a kind of hope.If she was lucky, she could actually have her own children one day.Jackson broke off a piece of chocolate and fed it to Serenity's mouth. Serenity opened her mouth and ate the chocolate.However, she accidentally bit his finger.She reflexively moved her mouth away."Sorry," Serenity apologized in a hurry.Jackson gently pressed his lips to the spot that she just bit and asked, "Is the chocolate sweet?" His voice was like the sound of the night breeze blowing over a flute. It contained an allure that she could hardly resist.Serenity blushed. Although he was asking about the chocolate, she felt as if he was asking about his finger. The chocolate was gradually melting in her mouth. However, at the

He stroked her cheek gingerly. Then, his thin lips gently parted, and he said with a hoarse and suppressed voice, "Love me, okay?"It was as if he was pleading. He wanted it so badly.Seeing him like this made her lick her lips unconsciously, but that only made her lips look even more attractive. She didn't know how to answer. She was gradually losing her rationality, lost in his scent.He found her fresh face, dark eyes, tiny nose, and the way she looked at him all so tempting.The past him could never have imagined that he would ask for a woman's love like this.But everything seemed to have changed after he met her.He realized that he wanted her – and her love – so badly!The desire kept getting stronger and stronger. Before her, he was willing to put aside his pride and his principles. He made an exception for her over and over again so that he could experience the feelings that he had never felt before.He once again pressed his lips to hers. However, unlike the forceful

Jackson's body became stiff. "Do you... know what you're doing?" A simple sentence, but it was like a toothpaste being squeezed; he got it out of his mouth one word at a time with difficulty.Serenity bit her lip. "I... I know."Right now, she only wanted to follow her heart. She wanted to tell him what she was thinking.For this reason, she summoned all her courage."Jack, I think I love you!" Serenity blurted out. Yes, she wanted to tell him how she truly felt instead of just keeping quiet when he asked her if she loved him, and then watching as his eyes were slowly filled with gloom.She could not explain what kind of feeling it was. Maybe it was because, when she saw the gloom in his eyes, she realized that he must have thought she was not in love with him."I still don't know exactly how much I love you, but I do love you," Serenity added.She did not want to hide her feelings because she did not want him to misunderstand. She did not want to see that gloom in his eyes beca

When she thought of what happened last night, Serenity's face started to burn again.She was already awake, but she had not opened her eyes yet. She was afraid that it would be awkward if she opened her eyes and saw Jackson looking at her.What should she say to make it less awkward?Serenity started to ponder.But before she could think of anything, she heard him ask, "Are you awake? Why won't you open your eyes if you're awake? Are you afraid to look at me?"Serenity winced. She opened her eyes and saw an unusually handsome face – Jackson's face!He was currently propping himself up on the edge of the bed with one hand and bending forward. His face was very close to hers. She could feel his warm breath on her face.At such close proximity, she could count how many eyelashes he had.His long, dark eyelashes would make women jealous. Coupled with those beautiful eyes of his... When her eyes met his, she could not help thinking about last night, when those eyes of his were fil
